Hey, everyone..
I'm just sitting here, proud of my good friend (& great Steel player) Clayton Deering aka "Neon Gravel" from Urbana, IL.
He just recently surpassed 1 year of his weekly releases of Lo-Fi/experimental music that features Pedal Steel or Dobro. (Something like 60-65 consecutive weeks!)
The tracks are usually long (5-10min) and he builds the samples in MIDI and plays over em.
Here's a long YouTube playlist to keep on the background - Yule Log style

Here's a link to his BandCamp. If you follow, a new track will be posted every Friday abt Noon Central.

He also plays Country/Cajun/Rock - you name it. We're headed to the Southern IL steel show next wknd just like 20 min from where he grew up, so excited to meet fellow Steelers from the region!
Thanks & hope ya dig,
Nick

Hey, Tom!
Appreciate you checking it out and glad ya enjoy. Even tho it sounds good w headphones/listening closely, it was definitely made with "background music" in mind..good for browsing or doin homework or cleaning house.
Frank, I don't think they are of any relation.
Thx again for listening,
Nick

Digging this the most. Really good steel playing, in my opinion. Beginning a long phrase with a theme (@ 55 min.) that calls to mind
'she left me crying in the chapel'--don't know if that really came to mind, but your themes evoke ones from my past. It's a road trip.
Really nice sonic space. I could surf this.

For me it evokes Leonard Cohen's "Halleluiah". I've really been enjoying this whole piece.Digging this the most. Really good steel playing, in my opinion. Beginning a long phrase with a theme (@ 55 min.) that calls to mind
