Django is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who released his first solo album in 1996 and has released seven albums with The Old Ceremony since 2004 plus several more solo releases.

We discuss The Old Ceremony songs “Too Big to Fail” (and listen to “Hangman’s Party at the end) from Earthbound (2024), “The Disappear” from Walk On Thin Air (2009), and “Reservations” from Our One Mistake (2006). Intro: “Beautiful” from Folding Stars (1996). More at theoldceremony.com and djangohaskins.bandcamp.com.

“Too Big to Fail” has a video. Here’s an earlier video (featuring Ed Asner!) Hear all of “Beautiful.” Watch the band live in 2023. Here he is solo acoustic. Hear Django’s new Christmas song. See him singing with the Big Star live project (also with one of my past guests, Chris Stamey).
