Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #816 – 3/3/2018: Steve Barton of Translator interview!
On today’s show, we meet the legendary Steve Barton, founder, singer, and songwriter of Translator! He just released not one, not two, but three albums! That’s no small feat in this age of short attention spans, downloaded singles, streaming, and EPs. This 37 song collection is called “Tall Tales and Alibis, Albums 1, 2 and…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #815 – 2/24/2018: Sarah McQuaid interview, and previewing the Fowl Tone Sampler!
Sarah McQuaid is a legendary folk guitarist, singer, and songwriter. She’s known for all of those things–but to add to that–she’s a big proponent of the DADGAD guitar tuning (my musician friends should know what that is). She wrote the book on DADGAD. Literally–she did write a book about it! She’s about to release her…

On this week’s show, our friends from Texas came through with some great pre-release music! We heard new tracks from Wade Johnson (first time ever played on Woody Radio), The Re-Used Electrics, Victor Erwin’s band (also a Woody Radio debut), and Lannie Flowers. All seriously great rock ‘n’ roll songs that demand a listen, and…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #813 – 2/10/2018: Bill Kopp interview!
Today’s show marks our first ever visit with music writer/author Bill Kopp. I’ve been following his work for several years with his Musoscribe blog. He’s really prolific–since 2009, he’s published over 2000 pieces there. He usually has a new article or review up there every business day. As if that weren’t enough writing about music,…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #8, 2/6/2018
February is here. In the grand scheme of things, it kind of gets the short end of the stick. It’s only 28 days long, and sometimes, in an effort to throw it a bone, the rest of the months pitch in to give it an extra day. People even forget how to pronounce it–yes, the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #810 – 1/20/2018: Twirl Radio 20th Anniversary Special!
20 years of Twirl. It’s hard to believe that it’s gone by this fast, and that we’re still on the air. Access Sacramento first let me through the studio doors on January 17, 1998, and a nervous, shaky me somehow got through it. Playlist from the first Twirl Radio episode, 20 years ago, January 17,…
