While gettin' jiggy in my home studio in Wilmington, North Carolina, I'm reminiscing about the Wilds of Wyoming and a band to be reckoned with, Patti Fiasco.   I first heard the Fiasco outdoors, lots of hay and a forest and barn-burning guitar riffs and then, they moved  a few blocks over to Jill Hunter's rip-roaring Lander Bar, where they thoroughly lit the town on fire.  I told them about a little place called Aspen and now, they're coming.  Enjoy a vintage Sonic Byways and kindred sounds from Johnette Napolitano, just in time for Patti Fiasco's Aspen debut.  As of press time, the band is still on fire.

Jamie discusses her love for the capo, which has revolutionized her guitar tab possibilities - if not her 90-second chord change  - and brought her ever-closer to playing some of her favorite songs heard 'round the campfire, after climbing and throughout her years of music appreciation.   From Landslide to Pancho and Lefty, Hayes Carll to the Monkees, Jamie calls out the chords, shares stories behind the songs and maybe-barely -almost perfectly air guitars along on her side of the mic.

And remember, people...every rose has its thorn.

Jamie tears her ACL and decides to go to SXSW Music Festival for a pre-surgery hurrah.   She discovers a five-hour Woody Guthrie Tribute; ogles Bruce Springsteen during his keynote address;  visits with well-dressed musicians (Patrolled by Radar!) and pries herself away from day-drinking just in time to catch her flight.

Back in Aspen, it's the Aspen's 7908 Songwriter's Festival, and Austin's Carrie Rodriguez and Luke Jacobs stop by the studio for a special Saturday a.m. edition of Sonic Byways.  The three talk songwriting therapy,  food trailer favorites, and Carrie's penchant for a coupla ice-cold Baltimore Ladies.

Featuring an in-studio performance, highlights from SXSW and a music medley from The Preservationists and Patrolled by Radar...you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go to Austin.
