Rory Laird | Rehearsal @ Garage 06 Sept 2023 | Nose on the Grindstone (Tyler Childers)

For Thise Who Might Be Taking Notice:
I apologize I’m posting a lot right now, I’m trying to burn through the videos I have in queue. once I’ve depleted the remaining videos, I will begin posting less regularly as I will be practicing songs individually before recording them…in other words, phase 1 is complete, and now we’re just throwing up the videos, this pace is motivated by my desire to show venues the latest and greatest.

On September 6th, 2023, I set out to the garage with the Stagg, my chord sheets, and a tall glass of tequila and lime juice. Now that we’re starting to push for real gigs, it felt right that I should start rehearsing the songs that will make up my 2023 setlist…welcome to the garage session!

Tyler Childers was introduced to my by a friend back in Maryland. I really like this guy’s music, although so far this is the only one of his songs I’ve attempted to cover. I love the way this song seems so intimate and personal between this guy and his father, but at the same time it’s very communal, as we hear the story of a father doing the best he can to raise his son to avoid the geographically prevalent epidemic of prescription narcotics.
