White Rabbit Red Rabbit
“White Rabbit Red Rabbit” is an absurdist adventure that sits on the boundary of comedy and drama. The script itself is unknowable. Actors and audiences alike are encouraged not to talk about it at all. To this day, there is virtually nothing online about its content. It’s not being coy to say we can’t describe the plot; it’s a requirement of the license.

John Hiatt and the Jerry Douglas Band
In the midst of a global pandemic, John Hiatt walked into Historic RCA Studio B and opened up a lifetime full of leftover feelings. Those songs will be available on his new album “Leftover Feelings.” A half-century ago, Hiatt lived in a ratty, $15-a-week room on Nashville’s 16th Avenue, less than a mile away from the RCA and Columbia studios that were the heartbeat of what had come to be known as “Music Row.” In the ensuing 50 years, he went from a scuffling young buck to a celebrated grand master of song.
