Under the Radar: A Radio Show that Actually Knows We Exist

by Andrew Peterson

Hey, folks.

A cool new show started up recently called “Under the Radar”, and it features music by a lot of the folks around these parts.  I had the privilege of visiting the producer Dave Trout in November to talk about RLII, and the episode just aired.  There’s a mostly-in-tune live performance of “All You’ll Ever [...]

The Good Things about Jill Phillips New Record

by Jason Gray

Sorry I’ve been AWOL here in the Rabbit Room for awhile – When I haven’t been hunkered down writing for a new record, I’ve been cloistered away from the world to spend time with my family.  But what is it that could call me out of my hiding?  A new Jill Phillips record.

One of the [...]

What Hath Man Wrought?

by Pete Peterson

Remember that great scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey when the apes learn to use tools? That singular event changed the course of history, gave rise to domestication, civilization, and in the fullness of time, even iPhones.  It’s an iconic piece of cinema and an unforgettable juxaposition of sound and image.

It’s 2009 now and civilization [...]

Happy New Year from the Rabbit Room

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin’ Down a Dream

by Pete Peterson

I grew up with Full Moon Fever.  Songs like “Freefallin’”, “I Won’t Back Down”, “Runnin’ Down a Dream”, and “Yer So Bad” could easily be the sound track to my coming of age in rural Florida.  I came from a town too small to have a theater, an arcade, or population of girls that hadn’t [...]

The Secret Chamber and the Afterglow

by Andrew Peterson

I’m in my bunk on the tour bus, which is in some ways like a coffin, in other ways like a berth on a ship.  Some nights it feels more like a bunk bed at a sleep over with a bunch of friends, only your friends have whiskers and wives at home.  To my left [...]

Soul-Audio Interviews Andrew Peterson

by Matt Conner

Hey guys, just wanted to pass along the latest interview over at Soul-Audio with the Proprietor himself, Andrew Peterson. We had a chance to get some honest reflections about the upcoming Christmas tour, the new album and a lot of other topics I haven’t heard Andrew speak on before. Here’s part of the interview:

The Deeper Halo

by Ron Block

“Being in love,” that intoxicating feeling, is sublime, heady. It elevates us, changes our perceptions of the world, of our present, of our future. Our heart sings. Our dreams for ourselves ring with angelic voices.

But it can’t last; it isn’t meant to. It’s like learning an instrument. We hear an acoustic guitar and want to [...]

Eric Peters at SoulAudio.com

by Matt Conner

“Eric Peters is cursed with an inability to settle or to sell out, afflicted with a need to follow his nose musically, lyrically, while spiritually he has falteringly tried his best to follow where God leads.”

Andrew Peterson wrote those words about the Louisiana native for the Square Peg website of which both songwriters are a [...]

Tokens: The Politics of Jesus

by Andrew Peterson

Hey, folks.

You may remember me going on and on about the variety show called Tokens, taped right here in Nashville. I had the honor of performing on the very first show, and have been invited back for their Christmas special on December 9. Check out their website for info on the show, [...]
