I’ve written here before about the Square Peg Alliance, a group of 13 singer/songwriters here in Nashville. It includes Andrew Osenga, Andy Gullahorn, Andy Peterson, Billy Cerveny, Chris Mason, Derek Webb, Eric Peters, Jeremy Casella, Jill Phillips, Katy Bowser, Matthew Perryman Jones, Randall Goodgame, and Sandra McCracken. They have been doing a residency on Tuesday’s evenings at The Radio Café in east Nashville for the past couple weeks, and are planning to continue it throughout September. The format is “in a round”, meaning five or six of them (in this case) take turns singing one of their songs, and they go around a couple times. All three shows have been great so far, and Geof Morris has been kind enough to take the time to bootleg all the shows (with their permission), and upload them to http://indieriver.net. It might take a little bit of time to figure out how to get around IndieRiver and use BitTorent, but it is well worth it to hear the shows.

Check out Andy Osenga’s blog for pics from this week’s show.

In related Square Peg news, starting Friday Derek Webb will be giving away his latest record, Mockingbird, for free! Go to www.freederekwebb.com for more information. This is one of my top 10 favorites CD’s of last year. If you haven’t heard it yet, here’s your chance. I especially recommend A New Law, A King & A Kingdom, My Enemies Are Men Like Me, and In God We Trust.
