Single of the Week: “All Star Breakfast” by Odie Leigh & Field Medic

Odie Leigh might be the artist I found this year that I’ve spent the most time with. Her debut record, Carrier Pigeon, has been on perpetual rotation on my turntable for the last two months or so, and her Outside Lands set continues to eat up important brain space. “All Star Breakfast” is a tender ode to Bob’s Big Boy, a restaurant that I loved in my youth but haven’t seen in real life in quite some time. It’s also a tender ode to love, in general, and is a classic country duet with Field Medic. It’s a nice little ditty, full of warm harmonies and just a wift of fresh coffee eminates through the speakers. 

“All Star Breakfast” is a stand alone single, and can be enjoyed in all the usual places. Her last leg of 2024 hits the west coast soon, and it’s a show that you shouldn’t miss. Those tour dates can be found here

And, yes, a fellow writer recently referred to Outside Lands attendees as “norms” (I saw what you did there, Alan!), but, man, I had such a wonderful, blissful time, dancing with strangers, eating amazing food, enjoying nearly perfect weather, and taking in some amazing music. I honestly can’t wait for next year, and hope I’m able to keep coming to the park for many years to come. Continue reading “Outside Lands 2024: 21 Instant Gig Reviews”
