On this week’s show, we get to meet Morgan Geer, a guy who’s kind of an Americana legend. He’s the guitarist for Freakwater, which is a big deal all on its own. But then he got the nod to tour all over the US, and 18 other countries, with The Handsome Family. Well, necessity is…

After a healthy, extended run of shows with interviews–and sometimes multiple interviews, leading up to last week’s interview tripleheader extravaganza, a break in the action was in order. No–not a work stoppage–just a show with no interviews and all all music. So that’s what we did–just music, and my, um, snappy remarks! But we took…

Amazing. I’m out of breath and speechless. I don’t think I’d ever done a show with three interviews–in a regulation-length, two hour format–until today. If I could pick one word to describe the experience, “exhilarating” seems to do it. It all started innocently enough. I was scheduled to chat with Jon Fried, of New Jersey…

Another week, another interview doubleheader. No–I don’t take this for granted–it was pretty awesome to travel all over the country and world, musically speaking, to gather a couple of interviews with some really interesting musicians. And we had a whole bunch of other stuff going on as well. First off–my friend Bill Fuller, who does…

I knew this week’s show would be fun and comfortable. It always is when you’re with friends, and this week, I had two of them on the show. We started with Andrew Curry, who over the past 5 years, has, through his Curry Cuts label, released a quartet of themed compilation tribute albums, all with…

In this still-young year of 2019, I’ve done about a dozen radio interviews. That’s a pretty breakneck pace, so I thought I’d take a bit of a breather this week and not schedule any interviews. Operative word being “schedule”. More on that in a bit. This was a great chance to roll out some more…

On today’s show, we got to meet NYC-based drummer Mark Feldman, of Mark Feldman’s Level5. Their debut, The Sybil EP, gives you more for your money. It’s only 3 songs, but with each song clocking in between 6 and 7 minutes, it’s really like double that. They’re all instrumentals, and they feature funky and jazzy…

On this week’s show, we met North Carolina-based Cole Guerra. He’s the main man behind I Am Casting, a jazzy project, which is the perfect combination of experimental, floating melodies and pointed, topical lyrics. After more than a decade off from making music, Cole, a psychologist, returned to the studio. Interestingly enough, he creates the…

Radio magic. It happened this weekend. I was fortunate to have two amazing, wonderful, friendly musical guests visiting me in person, in the Twirl studios. They both traveled a long way to get here, so it was one of those days where all musical roads lead to Sacramento. Sacramento native, singer-songwriter Gail George, was visiting…
