We have two return performers with some great music. Alex Papp delivers us a Doors/Papp medley and Divining Rod gives us some songs from the heart, all while having a few drinks to celebrate the end of our first run. We'll be on hiatus until the end of the summer, so catch up on the older listens. See you on the other side.

We hit the big 30 in this episode, with return performances from Monster Furniture and Memento Mori, and featuring new-to-Putnam's performer Inside Voices. These three solo acts are also regular collaborators. Carl gets into the details, and lucks out with a busted PA.

In this episode, we get treated to three tunes - Foxglove kills his old birds, the Dry States update a classic, and Carl gets lazy on a dreary day. Check it out here, and see it live at Putnam's Pub.

In this episode, Solid Goold develops a crush and Tom DiMenna gets thirsty while Charming Disaster kills a few things. Check it out for live music and streetside interviews, hosted by Carl Banks.

Carl gets screwed by the G train and comes to us from inside a yellow cab on this episode. We bring you new songs from Putnam's regulars Alex Papp and Sisterwives, plus Sim Ross - no stranger to Putnam's but hasn't come back since we started the podcasts. Good music and stories. Check it out.

We enter our new quarter century with a new act to Acoustic Sunset, Owl & Wolf. They have some great music and an extended interview. We follow that up with friend of the show Peter Fabrizio, who plays with his band, the Yawptones (actually just drums this time). Carl can't stop to chat in this episode, but the tunes sound nice and the streetside is fine.

We hit our 25th episode in proper fashion with three great acts and interesting discussions, while Carl runs for hours in Tennessee.

In this episode, we feature three original tunes. Rachel Lynn comes in to Putnam's for the first time, Pete Ayres returns, and Carl sings about John Brown, but first goes fishing in the Keys. Also, Rachel's accompanist, Stoddard Blackall, has a podcast right here on SoundCloud as well - https://soundcloud.com/thestodcast, so check that out as well.

We feature two great instrumentals in this episode, with one each from David Personne and James Sera. Carl Banks plays a tune as well, and explains why it's considered impolite to crack open whippets during an intimate performance.

In this episode, we get treated to two originals by Katie Ortiz and Plain Blaine, while Carl runs into a friend on the street and explains the consequences of transposing instruments from his youth. Check it out with a tequila of your choice.

Our podcast comes of age and loses its innocence in this episode, in which Carl sings us a song of the traveler and explains how, on occasion, living out of your car on the road is not as glamorous as it sounds. Just a warning - this episode is not for the Faint-of-Butt. Listen anyway.

In our twentieth episode, we get presented with an original song apiece from Delfina Campos and Dylan Jones, plus a family favorite from our host himself. Carl speaks to us about the fun and danger of Japanese game shows while getting drunk, staying sober, and eating Eggs a la Goldenrod.

In this episode, Bare Bones treats us to their great signature sound, Gavin Snider fills in last minute and gives us a new tune, and Carl saves the children from a morning drunk at the Cobra Club.

In this St. Patrick's Day episode, Carl tells the story of how he and Emily Cavanagh managed to meet Paddy Casey in Ireland(and benefit from his fan base), with a traditional Irish tune from the two of them. We also feature a brief springtime PSA to the accompaniment of snaps, all while the occasional child yells in the background.

In this episode, we get treated to four amazing acts - Pete Ayres, Jarrod Dickenson, Jon Paul, and Peter Fabrizio. We'll bring you original music from each. Special thanks to Peter for being guest host at the live show. Carl explores truth and fiction in Missouri, but picks a bad weekend to miss the music. Give this one a listen.

This week Leven Rambin packs the house and rocks out with a medley, Sad American Night brings us an acoustic version of an electronic original, and Tom DiMenna plays us a brand new song, all while Carl juggles too many things. Give it a listen, and enjoy.

In this episode, we spend time with The CarLeans, a three-piece Americana/folk(and more) group on the road out of Connecticut. It was a great night - they play well and sing tight, so take a listen to three of their songs while Carl gets booed in the red dirt.

This week we have guests Tom Dimenna, Bhrigu Sahni, and David Personne bringing you songs of desire, loss, and acceptance, with love across the sea - all while Carl overstays his welcome at a place he doesn't remember getting to. Get your earholes ready for love entry and enjoy.

In episode 12 Carl tells a story about a nasty heckler on the night George W. Bush was re-elected then Mara Stepe sings her song "Easy Does it." Pete and the Yawptones bring us the World Premiere of their song "Run Down," and we wrap up the music with Carl's tune "Seven Grand."
