Today is the official release of the debut album from Nashville’s Styrofoam Winos! Cleft productions first worked with them on a show of @studio_vesnapavlovic @zeitgeistgallery called ‘Mixtape’ in which various Nashville groups covered Serbian and other Slavic language bands from the 80s and 90s. @kylehamlettuno recommended reaching out to @trevtown4u for that and it’s been nothing but awesome collabs since, including the Winos being our wedding band! Suffice it to say, this project has been a labor of love…

Cleft productions had the pleasure of doing some mixing on this suuuuper chill 37minute EP (yes, it’s an EP!) from #WilliamTyler. This is a collection of hypnotic home recordings, ham radio, AM in the PM, looped ambience, and a handful of his signature guitar compositions. Through the end of the year, all proceeds on Bandcamp Friday’s go to the artist, so give it a DL! William, like most of our Nashville and extended community, has not been able to tour this year, so every bit helps. It will be available on…

Latest album recorded by Cleft productions at #444Humphreys: ‘The Middle Tennessee Post Modern Experimental Pop Band.’ Billy Bennett recorded our favorite #MGMT album, ‘Congratulations’, along with lots of favorite #AthensGa folks over the years. When I heard his tunes for the first time, I had no clue how to describe them other than cohesively eclectic and just plain good. A pop music chameleon in the vein of Money Mark or Rundgren and a really kind, funny dude who listens and constructs well. And the band…

Couldn’t be more proud to congratulate #ThelmaAndTheSleaze on their official homecoming release of #FuckMarryKill. LG and the gang put a lot of hard work and love into it down in the belly of #444Humphreys and it’s sure to move some butts, make some babies, and make a lot of lovely dancers some cold hard cash. Their pop up TATS Museum is up through the week at #JuliaMartinGallery. Very informative. Pick it up on vinyl, come to the og Basement in #Nashville tonight and help them celebrate!

An early bird show in a couple weeks. Legit lineup w Louisville lass and Silver Jew, #CassieBerman, Cleft producer Loney John Hutchins, and Gallatin guy, #KyleHamlettUno. Come have a burger and beer hang after work!

NEW MUSIC FRIDAY! This is an album recorded/mixed at #444humphreys with the sweet mellow sounds of Station Wagon. Station Wagon is one of those occasional super groups that comes together in our #MusicCity and they’ve released a fine album today. They’re in too many different bands of all stripes, sizes, colors, and venue capacities to mention them all here. They’re playing a release party on the 1st of July at the Basement and they’re wonderful live. Good dudes and a true pleasure to help create. Also…

TONIGHT: Cleft house producer, Loney John Hutchins, is opening for this very cool bill at #TheBasement at 8pm sharp. Along with #TeddyandtheRoughRiders, we’ll be celebrating the reissue of #JessSahBiandPeterOne’s 1985 album, #OurGardenNeedsItsFlowers by #AwesomeTapesfromAfrica. Some Nashville favorites will be backing Jesse and Peter on some songs. It’ll be a night to remember. Come see us!

This Saturday, Sept 8th! Vesna Pavlovic opens her awesome show, ‘Mixtape,’ @zeitgeistgallery, 6 to 8pm! There will be a live performance and lecture on the 13th of Oct and the show runs through the 27th. Lots of Nashville musicians contributed to the actual mix tape for the show- they literally sang them IN SERBIAN. Now that’s what I call a comp! Can’t say enough how impressed I am! Here’s the run down from Zeitgeist’s site: “MixTape explores Pavlović’s personal documentary…

#CountryWesterns rocking the first porch concert of the 2018 season #JuliaMartinGallery after 3 excellent days of work down in the basement. The rain tapered off for both theirs and Richie’s sets.
