Happy Birthday, Nick! There's a special guest in the Basement tonight to help us celebrate - our jammin' buddy, Phil. This is the first time he's ever joined us during a show and you can rest assured, he's doing his part to keep the party going!

Show #599 features music by:

#The Night Gaunts
#Chris Hicks Project
#Ben Reel
#Walker Brigade
#Ty Causey
#Gulf Stream Riders
#TheArmoires
#Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate

Nick's Pick this week is by Starcastle and Something Completely Different is by Gregg Allman. There's also another great tune by Nick at the end of the show!

The Basement Tapes with Nick & Bootsy podcast is reorded in Rolla, MO and is in the lineup at Dark Haven Radio every Wednesday (8pm Central/9pm Eastern) and every Thursday at Power91 (11am Central/12pm Eastern) and BWNR (7pm Central/8pm Eastern).

Nick & Bootsy play music from local, independent bands & musicians from across the world - after all, everybody is local to somewhere!

You can be a part of the show by recording a liner for the show! We've been soliciting liners from the bands we play and the fans who listen. We play a 10-15 second liner between each song on the playlist during the show. If you are so inclined, we'd love to have one from you. All we ask is that you use the following as a guideline:

This is XXXX of XXXX and you're listening to The Basement Tapes with Nick and Bootsy

Feel free to be creative - add a musicbed, customize the message to your band (i.e. include URLs from your Facebook, Twitter or where fans can buy your music). As long as we know who you are and you ID the show, we're happy!

We don’t own any copyrights to the music we play on The Basement Tapes with Nick & Bootsy other than our own original tunes. Those are owned by the artists. If you like what you hear, please buy it!
