We are excited to introduce a whole new series of Stereo Session videos from a great band, International Scout, featuring Dave Henderson (previously of Green Road Shotgun, and The Roaries) with Kevin Lovellette on guitar, Justin Sisung on bass, and Ron Brinkman on drums. International Scout played the same night as Diamond Carter, and we have decided to roll out all the videos at once because we love them so much! Elijah “Lij” Shaw mixed the music through the MCI console to 1/4″ analog tape in real time during the show. The video was shot by Brad Cash , and edited by Myke Scaffidi who did a fantastic job! Keep a lookout for International Scout playing shows in Nashville soon.
Here is our next Stereo Sessions with Diamond Carter. Elijah “Lij” Shaw mixed the music through the MCI console to 1/4″ analog tape in real time during the show. The video was created by Brad Cash (cameraman), and Myke Scaffidi who did a fantastic job! Congrats to Diamond Carter for winning the Radio Lightening Music Mayhem with “Let Yourself Be Loved” also featured in Stereo Sessions #3. We have also been working hard on a new record. So keep a look out for Diamond Carter playing lots of shows around Nashville!
Check out our next Stereo Sessions with Diamond Carter. While most of East Nashville was quiet on a monday night The Toy Box Studio was bouncing and rocking out! We captured 12 songs to tape and video in one night and will be rolling them out over the next few weeks. Elijah “Lij” Shaw mixed the music through the MCI console to 1/4″ analog tape in real time during the show. The video was created by Brad Cash (cameraman), and Myke Scaffidi (editor) who did a fantastic job! And thanks again to Michael Lovett of Phatmagnet for brilliant tech support.

Our favorite place to eat lunch working at The Toy Box Studio is a small taqueria called El Jalicience up the road a mile. Fantastic tacos and the most deliciously hot green and brown salsas. Any lunch hour and you’re likely to find it filled with Mexican Americans and East Nashville musicians. Last year I met a band at the table next to me that had just finished making their new record, Boys and Girls. They called themselves the Alabama Shakes. You are always likely to meet interesting people at The Jolly Jense (our butchered pronunciation of Jalicience)
More recently I was having lunch by myself and the only other occupied table sat a couple of younger guys one of whom sported a bright red shock of Elvis style hair. We got to talking and it turned out that they were recent transplants to East Nashville. They call themselves, Diamond Carter, and had moved here from Los Angeles to break their band. I love it! Now bands are moving from LA to East Nashville to get famous. How cool is that? They have a big cool 5 piece soul band with three backup singers named The Red Pandas. So I invited them to come to Stereo Sessions for a show with International Scout fronted by Dave Henderson, a long time Nashville native now in Cookeville (past bands: Green Road Shotgun and The Roaries).
These guys rocked the house. Stay tuned for more videos to come.
