Hello, and welcome to The Life of a Musician.

Tonight's episode is recorded live from 500 Block on Craghead Street .

Let's step inside and listen.

-Hello, and welcome to The Life of a Musician, house concert edition, with these amazing, amazing artists that are right here behind me.

I'm going to introduce again Mr. Jonah Horton on the mandolin, Ms. Lyndsay Pruett on the fiddle, and Mr. Austin Brown on the Dawghouse bass back there.

So we're just going to sit around pretending like we're back in somebody's living room or on the porch, and try to make as much music as possible.

And we hope that you enjoy it.

You guys having a good time tonight?

So here's one that everybody knows.

And I decided a while back that it wasn't, it wasn't complex enough, I guess, and I decided to make my life a little harder.

So I put this little jazz arrangement to this, and I did it so I knew that one day I could make these guys miserable trying to, trying to read my mind.

But here's a tune called "House Of The Rising Sun."

I hope you guys like it.

[guitar chords] Go ahead.
