Creamtastic / Interviews -Tinged Nashville Transplant David Vandervelde Mentions the Scene to American Songwriter
Posted by D. Patrick Rodgers on Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 12:40 PM
So American Songwriter has just posted an interview that took place during Next Big Nashville betwixt a WOXY.com rep and Nashville's very own David Vandervelde. It's a nice little piece that features Vandervelde bragging on the caliber of Nashville's players, talking about his relationship with the late great Jay Bennett and discussing what it took to make his latest record. But guess what! He also mentioned us.
I've been here about a year and a half. I guess it was in the [Nashville] Scene; any time I read something, if I'm in a show, it always calls me a transplant. I'm wondering when they're just not gonna call me a transplant cause I live here now. Is everybody a transplant?
Nice! And yes, everybody is a transplant. Especially you. But honestly, we've only called Vandervelde a "transplant" here, here, here and here. Well, and of course here. But hey, we've also called him both " '60s-tinged summery psych-pop" and "glittery glam-tinged." So I'd say we call him "tinged" almost as much as we call him a "transplant."

Now is a good a time as any to brush up on thesaurus skills. We all should! I'd like to thank displaced lite-élan musician David Vandervelde for pointing this out.

This begs the question. How long must someone live here before they are no longer a 'transplant'? Or are you forever branded 'outsider' if not born at Baptist Hospital?
If you weren't born here, you're a transplant, no matter how long you've been here. Those of us that have lived here our whole lives will never consider these troubadours true "Nashvillians". What does he want to be called? "Nashville resident David Vandervelde"?
Oh, and I wasn't born at Baptist because we didn't have good enough insurance for that. :)
