Dylan Earl & Judy Blank, Americanafest // GemsOnVHS™

When Americanafest 2023 rolled around, we decided to finally (after a lifetime in Nashville) take part. With our buddies at Garhole Records, we put on a showcase at a local spot called VinylTap (great beer and records). Garhole, the gang out in Arkansas founded by renowned whistler n picker Nick Shoulders, brought the heat. I've known Dylan Earl awhile now, since meeting him at the Whitewater Tavern in Fayetteville, Arkansas with Nick & Willi Carlisle ( • Willi Carlisle, "Boy H... . Good times. Was glad to have him play our little stage, and when he brought Judy Blank along, all the more better.
The showcase itself was fire. All day long, packed shoulder to shoulder to capacity! Thanks everyone who showed up, listened to some acoustic music and had a fun time with us. Seriously, what more can we ask for? Glad to know there's a community of folks out there who like this kind of music.
Thank you to Josh Shoemaker for helping film, and Benjamin Dakota Rogers for running audio for us this fine day.

Perfect timing. I’ve been listening to Dylan Earl on repeat for weeks now.

Love Dylan, and especially Dylan and Judy together. I would majorly encourage you all to fall down a Dylan Earl rabbit hole. His cousin Nick Shoulders is very worth a listen to also ❤

So you've written this beautiful song in Zaltbommel here in the Netherlands. I live in Eindhoven. Wish I could have met you two when you were here writing this song. Maybe I would have brought my guitar along and play some songs with you guys. Keep up the good work...
