On today’s show, we visited with the brothers Cirrone: Bruno, Mirko, and Alessandro. We did a live conversation spanning nine time zones: they’re in Sicily, and I’m in California. We played a track from their Uplands Park Road album, chatted to them about their influences (spoiler alert: Beatles), and learned a bit about their upcoming…

On today’s episode, we attempt to recover from last week’s epic Twirlie Awards show. Last week was a look back at 2016, so today, we featured brand new tracks released in 2017. Artists like Reverse Family, Irene Peña, Mod Hippie, Eric Peter Schwartz, and Matt North are the face of 2017, and we gave ’em…

We’ll learn about his varied palette of musical influences–and they are truly all over the lot–and how they fit into his musical worldview. Due to technical reasons–the big storms…

This legendary musician has not only created an amazing catalog of work over the past 30 years, but she also created the score for the Gilmore Girls television series. Her latest EP, “Human Contact is Never Easy”, is a bridge…

Today’s show was a moment I’ve been waiting for since the late 1990’s: our very special in-studio guest was the one and only Natalie Cortez! She and her band, The Ultraviolets, were one of the top bands on the Sacramento music scene when I started doing radio. This music became the soundtrack of my life…

This show was a rare morning webcast, and unless something special comes up, the last live show of 2016. I broadcasted it live from home, and it was a bit of a marathon, clocking in at 3 hours 45 minutes. We played tons of great indie rock and roll. Happy Holidays to you from Twirl…
