indie-folk songwriter looking for flute + pedal/lap steel players for recording

Hey y'all, I'm a Houston-based indie-folk singer-songwriter recording some new music and I'd like to incorporate some instruments I can't personally play very well. It will be an acoustic-focused album and I'm particularly looking for someone who can play flute as well as someone who plays pedal steel, or lap steel, although pedal steel is preferred.

You can hear some of my other music here: www.daylighting.bandcamp.com

Trying to strike a vibe that's similar to these albums: Way Dynamic's "Massive Shoe"; Fleet Foxes' "Helplessness Blues"; Midlake's "The Courage of Others"

Something with a progressive folk rock feel like Pentangle or Fairport Convention

Shoot me a message if you're interested, cheers!

Fell in love with this used Martin 000RS1 while looking for an acoustic-electric in the $1k range

I played several other Martins and Taylors more expensive than this used Martin Road Series from 2015, but the latter just felt and sounded much better. The mahogany gives it a nice depth and the Fishman pickups sound great. It's on consignment for $650 with a soft gig bag but I think I'm going to come back tomorrow and offer $500 for it. There's a small ding or two along the edge of the guitar at its base and it's 11 years old.

What do y'all think? I'm surprised by how good this guitar sounds and feels for the price.

I have a Martin D-28 that I plan on keeping at home for recording (and pampering) while this would be my guitar for gigging and traveling. I'm surprised by the weight of the guitar, which I guess is due to the pickups.

Video of Elliott recording/playing Tomorrow Tomorrow in studio?

I can’t tell if this is lost media or perhaps the Mandela Effect taking place, but I seem to remember there being a video file of Elliott Smith recording/playing Tomorrow Tomorrow in studio. I remember reading a description for the video years and years ago on the old Sweet Adeline website but I remember I couldn’t watch the file for some reason.

Does anyone recall this video or know where it is?

Is this legit? What HM model?

I'm looking for a relatively cheap armless desk chair I can use for playing guitar/recording and saw this on Facebook marketplace. I don't recognize the model...does it look legit? Any idea what it is?

Did Elliott ever record acoustic guitar line-in or with a pickup?

Just as the title says — did Elliott ever record acoustic guitar line-in or with a pickup versus using mics? The acoustic guitar on certain songs like “Speed Trials” sound like they’re coming from a line into the guitar.

Best ice cream flavor I’ve had in a long time

Wow — the chocolate is rich and flavorful…the textures: gooey fudge, moist cake and crunchy chocolate pieces. So, so good!

Indie rock duo looking to book shows/meet musicians

Hey there, we’re Daylighting— two guys who write + record jazzy/folky indie rock here in Houston. After a few months of jamming/writing/recording, we just released an EP called “Just to Hear You Sing” (https://daylighting.bandcamp.com/album/just-to-hear-you-sing) and are looking get more involved in the scene here — play shows, meet fellow musicians, etc.

We’re looking to play some shows this summer/fall + add another musician or two (or more?) to fill out our sound for said live performances. A fellow multi-instrumentalist, drummer or bassist with jazz chops would be great…or someone who can play pedal steel. We’re open to exploring different sounds. For now, we're recording/rehearsing in the Montrose area with access to a drum kit. Always a plus if you can also harmonize vocally.

Please check out our tunes and share 'em if you like 'em! Influences run the gamut from Pavement to Elliott Smith to Fleetwood Mac to Miles Davis and beyond.

If you’re in a band/run an event/venue/etc. and like our sound, reach out so we can network and make some cool art happen!
