Hey guys, something a little different for you today.

We’re with an old buddy of mine, Scott Ramminger, a brilliant songwriter and blues musician based in Nashville, who’s coming out Feb. 4 with a new album, “Live from Third & Lindsley Nashville.”

It’s his sixth record since 2011, and the third since he relocated from the Washington DC area to Nashville in 2017. And therein lies a part of the story.

For years, Scott worked for trade associations – business lobbying organizations – in Washington, DC, and that’s where we met. He once willed me a cushy job when he took an even cushier one.

But Scott got sick of the DC rat race and headed for Nashville…and now he’s a happy man, focused on writing music and performing. He wrote all of the songs on his album, does the vocals, and is a hell of a sax player. You’ll hear a couple samples during the show.
