David Mencarini Nice version. How about "Songs Your Dad Knows And You Should Too"

Randy Schultz You HAD to play the age card huh? Just because I casually mentioned the Traveling Wilburys and Roy Orbison

William Smith You always cover songs from bands that sound pretty obscure (or maybe I dont have my finger on the pulse of indie music) how do you find such bands?! this cover is so killer!

David Mencarini Just catching up on stuff and enjoyed this song for the first time today. Nice job and good choice for a cover. Hard to miss on a Jayhawks song. Great band.

Robert O'Donnell An acoustic (since that's what I'm assuming the show will be?) version of Graceland could be interesting.

Chaz Harris No problem. I liked "Out of Focus"...not sure if pianos will be a part of this presentation? Someone else mentioned Townes; hard to go wrong with any of his stuff if you're doing covers (IMO, anyway). St John the Gambler is a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUnoTTjx9dY Otherwise...FREEBIRD!!!! Someone had to do that at some point...lol

Lauren O'Connell Hey Shawn! Blargh I'm sorry, I forgot to post the download, and I didn't see this comment until now. Posting it right now. Hopefully Patreon will allow me to integrate it in the creation post at some point. I didn't post a download for "Dear Someone" because that creation was for Graham's page.

William Smith There is just something about your acoustic music that really blows me away. It sounded absolutely amazing when you toured with Nataly Dawn. Julia and yourself should do living room shows together!

Lauren O'Connell Hey Timothy, thanks! The tab for Chicken Wire is on this page: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?search_type=title&value=lauren+oconnell So stoked you want to learn it! Most of the tabs/chords for my songs on Ultimate-Guitar were transcribed by me, so they're generally accurate.

Tim Sessanna I love both the Big Star original and Elliott's cover (which I think I heard on the Thumbsucker soundtrack), and this is true to how I imagined you'd do it. :) Thanks Lauren <33

David Mencarini Very nice version. I will have to seek out the Elliott Smith version. Big Star is a very under-appreciated band from the early 70's. Thanks Lauren.
