  • We went up to Kentucky, visiting with Ben and Ashley at their home. It just so happened that the Resonant Rogues, Keith & Sparrow, along with Jason Odea, were in town as well. Well, what do you do when you have 4 out of 5 members of the legendary folk-punk group Barefoot Surrender? You have them play a grand reunion performance live in the Baird distillery whiskey cask room, of course. Shout out to Baird for letting us crash their retired school turned Kentucky's premier new whiskey making facility. Great people, great whiskey honestly. Yes we tried some of the stuff in the casks.
    Also, if you don't know Barefoot Surrender, can you really call yourself a Lost Dog street band fan? Not in my book. Educate yourself on the history folks. The gritty, dirty roots of the thing. Also look at these BABIES ( • Barefoot Surrender on ... ). How time does fly. You might see the similarity, and therefor the evolution, in our first LDSB Gems recording, back in 2012 or something ( • Lost Dog Street Band, ... ). 11 long years of music, crazy.

    Hoo-boy… Heard every song the band played in the past, feels like a hazy dream-come-true to hear them again!
    Tone of the song was definitely more tempered, the brash high-strung arrogance of youth clearly missing from the song, which just shows how far every single one of these people have come in their own lives, and just how much they’ve matured. It’s beautiful to see, and I appreciate Gems for showing off such treasures.

    I can't even describe how happy I to see them back together. The first time I saw Lost Dog they ended the show with Forgott My Name and it took me ages to deep dive and find it. That show was the best I've ever been to. I'm sure they remember it because the crowd and Ben were ready to beat the owner to a pulp. Seeing them play together again after everything life threw at em, shows how strong they are and how music binds us. Would love to see em cut that track, but regardless just keep the good times coming!
