Evan Martin has devoted his time and energy to music consistently throughout his life. Starting as a guitarist leading bands and open mics, he made the switch to the drums when the opportunity arose and it changed the way he thinks about music and life. We get deep and discuss the intrinsic value of drums and how it can sometimes be our therapy.  You can see Evan play regularly with a rotating group of players at Little Jumbo in Asheville on Monday and Tuesday nights, but especially with The Core, one of Asheville's collectives of seasoned and widely renowned jazz musicians. You can also catch him with Amanda Anne Platt and The Honeycutters either live or on their studio recordings. www.honeycutters.comhttps://www.facebook.com/TheCoreJazz/

This story begins with Citizen Vinyl, a combination vinyl pressing plant, recording studio, bar and restaurant in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, in the old Citizen-Times building. Built in the late 1930s, it was originally the home of two newspapers and the WWNC radio station. Wanting to host more events there, Citizen Vinyl reached out to Greg Cartwright, well known for his work in his band Reigning Sound; Greg then invited Amanda Anne Platt, who has been playing with her band The Honeycutters for more than a decade, and a relatively new artist in the Asheville scene, Wes Pearce. Postcard from 1939 depicting Asheville, NC's Pritchard Park and WWNC radio station The three artists shared the stage on the ground floor of the three story building, in the open space between the bar, record shop and pressing plant, and played from their existing catalog of songs as well as many brand new songs that have not yet had their chance to make it into the adjacent room to be pressed into discs. The audience was quiet and attentive, and while Amanda, Greg and Wes played, the rest of the world receded to the background as everyone focused on the trio, who took turns playing their songs on acoustic guitar.After their set, Amanda, Greg, Wes and I went upstairs to the old WWNC live performance studio to talk about the romantic atmosphere of their show, the resurgence of vinyl's popularity and how the collectability of 45s and LPs has flipped since COVID-19 changed so much for all of us, how they navigate their music careers post-COVID, the local Asheville scene and more. Live performance from 1939 on the radio in the WWNC studio where we taped our interview Songs heard in this episode:Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters “The Road” from Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters“Burden” by Wes Pearce, from Death & Darlins, excerpt“Alive” by Reigning Sound, from Memphis In June, excerpt“Girls Like You” by Amanda Anne Platt & the Honeycutters, from The Devil and the Deep Blue SeaThanks for dropping by, and we are even more grateful whenever you share this with someone.

Episode 208: Western North Carolina has a long history in roots music, but Amanda Anne Platt and the Honeycutters have been one of the defining sounds of the scene for the last decade or more, a no-frills, highly musical country band fronted by an exceptional singer and songwriter. On my recent trip to Asheville, I caught a Honeycutters show and then sat down with Amanda at her century-old home in Black Mountain, NC to talk about her guitar-building days, the evolution of her band and the new double album The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea. Also, part two of my visit with Asheville folk singer Valorie Miller.

Darren Nicholson of Balsam Range and Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters tell us about what life is like as traveling musicians and break down some perceptions of what it is like on the road. Darren is the founding member of Balsam Range (2018 IBMA Entertainer of the Year) and travels the world. Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters were on a European tour to England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, and The Netherlands this past summer and both Darren and Amanda talk about travel, food and life as a road warrior!

Making it in music is tough. It can be the most wonderful experience you could hope for, but surviving, let alone flourishing, is an elusive bulls-eye for musicians and music professionals everywhere. This theme comes up in every episode here on Southern Songs and Stories, in some way or another. Artists of all kinds are self employed and are walking a hard road to travel, especially financially. But not all artists are walking that same hard road -- some are walking one even steeper, and more dangerous. And when you are talking about making it in music, it becomes clear pretty quickly that being a woman puts you on a journey lined with pitfalls and roadblocks. In this episode of Southern Songs and Stories, we map out what that road can be like, as we hear from Amanda Anne Platt of the Honeycutters, Natalya Weinstein of Zoe & Cloyd, Hannah Kaminer, Alexa Rose and Ygerne Moonie, telling us about their experiences, both good and bad, as we question what makes music so male dominated in the first place, what preconceptions do to hold women back, talk about some of their musical heroines, and much more.

Watch out: Rachel’s on the road! Also, we mourn the death of Wide Open Country and get into the foundations of the patriarchy. Oddly enough, we also play a supermajority of women on this episode. Music in this episode: Dolly Parton -- “The 19th Amendment” (27: The Most Perfect Album) Larry And His Flask “This Remedy” (This Remedy) Super Doppler - “Edge Off” AND “Gas Station” (Super Secret Singles Club) The Little Miss -- “American Dream” AND “Take Me, Too” (American Dream) (SH)* The National Reserve- “No More” AND “Other Side Of Love” (Motel La Grange) Ever More Nest -- “So Low ” AND “I Wish I” (The Place That You Call Home) Atlantis Aquarius - “Full Moon” AND “Morning Star” (Niberian Sun EP) Catherine the Great -- “prefabricated” AND “i know” (personhood) Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters - “Diamond In The Rough” (Self Titled) Whitney Shay - “Ain’t No Weak Woman” (A Woman Rules the World) CBDB - “Patterns”  (Out Of Line) Rachel wrote a comic!

Now friends, you may think that your Roots correspondent was wishing that Game 7 of this epic World Series hadn’t fallen on a show day. But I’m not so sure.

An introverted lead vocalist?   Nathan sits down with Amanda Anne Platt of The Honeycutters for the 55th episode of the Finding Asheville podcast. They chat about growing up in small town in New York, why a banjo in a store front in college was the start to her musical career, what it ultimately takes to write a song, what it means to take country music back to its roots, and how an introvert ever got the courage to step on stage and sing to a group of strangers about her life.   This episode was recorded at Mojo Coworking at 60 North Market Street in Downtown Asheville.   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes here to get new episodes to download to your listening devices each week and get caught up on past episodes!   Oh and if you are feeling super nice like the Finding Asheville Facebook page here.

THE HONEYCUTTERS are, at the heart, the musical collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and Lead Guitarist/ Producer Peter James. While their sound has drawn comparisons to such artists as Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Platt and James produce a refreshingly unique blend of Americana music that is comfortingly familiar while being entirely original. This Asheville, NC band has just released their second album When Bitter Met Sweet. GRANVILLE AUTOMATIC is Vanessa Olivarez and Elizabeth Elkins. This Nashville-based alt country duo write songs pulled from a shared love of history, horses and war. Granville Automatic is named after a 19th-century typewriter: Vanessa is a collector. With sonic references like Lyle Lovett, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson, Granville Automatic has created a quiet and lyrical sound devoted to telling stories from the past. Both girls have a history in the music business: Vocalist/songwriter Olivarez wrote and recorded a Top 10 single in Canada, has three cuts on Sugarland records, including a song on their multi-platinum Enjoy the Ride album, and received a Dora nomination for her work in the Toronto production of Hairspray. She was also a finalist on the second season of American Idol.
