Update:

Did not win the overall, but had a blast at AthFest Music & Arts Festival/Flagpole Music Awards. It was really fun to watch Cameron's hard work pay off as the video advanced through all the screenings to the top 3!!!

We lost to a really GREAT video by Lovett:

Had a blast at Film Athens Sprockets 6 Festival last night at the 40 Watt. There were some really great videos, and so many wonderful friends came out to vote and support! So proud of Cameron. What an incredible job she did. Control looked great on the big screen!! Now we wait and see if it makes the second cut into the top 5 which are shown during Flagpole awards at the Morton Theater!

Control

2011-06-03T15:51:00.000-07:00

I seem to start all my records with the paranoia song from my experiences in Athens and abroad. It was Getaway Clean on Carriage, I Wanna Know on AAT, Hidin' Out on Murder of Love, and now we have Control. Ironic Title.

My buddy ( and wife ) Cameron Bliss Ferrelle created this awesome video for "Control" off the new record now due in September. Out of a record number of entries her video has become a FINALIST in the Sprockets Film Festival ( part of Athfest ). So happy and proud of her. She worked really hard on this project. The scenes were hand painted. We need friends to come out to the screening at the 40 Watt to support. June 18

"Turn On Your Light" aka "Sweet Lowland" (with a new cover) is now available as "name your own price"!

"Sweet Lowland is Ferrelle’s labor of love. Devoted to and inspired by Savannah and Tybee Island, the record is yet another example of his expansive and daring songcraft – not to mention his wonderfully warbling gravel – filled voice. And it’s all about us, who we are and Ferrelle’s vision of the Lowcountry.”

-John Stoehr, Savannah Morning News

Wow!! Great crowd. Great Show last night. Great job 3 Penny Cast. My theatre debut was ridiculous fun. Like a regular gig with a lot more talking in between songs. Going again tonight.

A video clip from rehearsal this week.

In case you haven't heard, I got the lead role, Macheath aka Mack the Knife. This is my first time acting in the theater since a fifth grade production of The HMS Pinafore in which I played a sailor holding a mop. I am extremely humbled, honored and excited to be working with such a wonderful cast and crew in the Circle Ensemble Theater's inaugural production of A 3 Penny Opera. It is a ton of hard work, but also fun and rewarding. It is stretching my voice in ways I hadn't thought possible...a whole diferent way of singing!

My costume doubled as a halloween costume this year.

Tybee Pirate Fest with Drivin' N' Cryin'

2010-10-11T06:36:00.001-07:00

David Blackmon, Marcus Thompson and Brad Fowler

The Pirate Festival on Tybee Island was a blast. The show was incredible, the fans were amazing and the band sounded great! I'm really thrilled with the new line-up. I got to experience that cool feeling when a crowded tent full of strangers erupts as you go into a song that has been in heavy rotation on their local radio station. Q105.3 in Savannah has been playing "Carriage on the Hill" for almost a year now and it showed. That felt great. Thank you Savannah and Tybee and all who attended Pirate Fest and thank you Q105.3.
Also pretty cool to get invited up by Kevn to sing "Straight to Hell" with D'nC'. Kevn and Co. have long been one of my favorites. Dodd

Song for a victim and his family. I hope it finds them on this September 11. Pass the song along please.....

Dad, what is a flaw fisherman?
Well son, I guess that a flawfisherman is someone who fishes for flaws. Never heard of that, but why do you ask?
I met one today daddy. A real live flawfisherman. He was standing on the Bonaventure side of the Lazaretto creek where it splits from the Moon River.
What did this flawfisherman look like son?
Well Da. He was dressed up like a Live Oak all brown and green and covered in Spanish moss. Couldn't really see his face. Hmm.
Hmmm. That sounds like someone I used to know.
What did he sound like? How did he talk?
I can't really explain it Dad. He sounded like no one I have ever heard.

Now I'm gettin' serious about blogging. It's a beautiful day. Summer is winding down. It's still hot as hell. I'm having a rare lazy week and 1/2 off from all the projects I've been working on this year. I spent the summer producing my first record in my home studio for some buddies in Athens, which has been a blast! I'm learning a lot about the other side of the glass, and after my lazy week and 1/2, we get back in to wrap it up and mix the record.

2010-06-14T14:40:00.000-07:00

This should be a nice family time. I will be playing an acoustic set with David on cello and Noel on mandolin.

I also have a bunch of indie rockers like this:

So, do I make a very diverse album? Or two distinct ones?
