Last night some friends and I went to Radio Cafe’ in East Nashville to see several members of the Square Peg Alliance. This was the third time I have been and it was equally as entertaining as the previous times. There is something about cramming into a tiny bar, sipping on Guinness and listening to some of the best songwriters I have ever heard, to make for a good night.

The “Alliance” has been playing shows every Tuesday night for all of August and now stretching it into September. Whoever is in town, is who plays, usually rotating every song or two. Andrew Peterson was there again last night for the second week in a row. He only played one song about a Pope that was really a woman, but his song writing still amazes me. Andrew Osenga played three songs, as well as Sandra McCracken (including one with husband Derek Webb). One of my favorites last night was a guy named Eric Peters who only played one song the week before, but was able to play three this week. The three he picked this week were winners, and made me want to go out and buy his CD.

For the most part a very casual place to hang out (if you aren’t claustrophobic) and a fun place to be involved in some of the best song writing around.
