Joe Algeri has been a favorite presence on Twirl for a long time. He’s one of the more prolific artists I know, playing in and producing such bands as The JAC, The Britannicas, The Outryders, and so many more. Whether it’s jangly and hard-rockin’ originals, skewed covers, or even the occasional “normal” cover, Joe has…

Rick Hromadka’s musical projects have been Twirl Radio favorites for the better part of a decade. He grabbed his rightful place on our airwaves with Maple Mars, and has sweetened the deal with another great band, one which he and his wife, Lisa Cavaliere co-front, Ruby Free. The new Ruby Free album is called Shades,…

Bedfordshire, UK-based Bud Rogers has been “making noise” since he was a little guy–drums first, then guitars. His musical career took the opposite turn of most: he started in rock, then went back to school to get classically-trained! He scored a couple of films and wrote a concerto, but rock and roll kept calling. He…

Cape Cod-based musical provocateur Chandler Travis paid us a return visit on Twirl Radio today. As longtime Twirl listeners know, Chandler leads a rag-tag band of musical misfits/geniuses known as the Chandler Travis Philharmonic (“putting the harm in philharmonic”). You may also know Chandler as a founding member of the Incredible Casuals, who’ve been rocking…

Today on Twirl, our very special guest was Nashville-based singer-songwriter-drummer-actor-comedian Matt North! Just look at all those hyphens–he’s a true Renaissance man. We’ve known each other for about 10 years, but as is the way of the 21st century, we’ve never spoken before today. We’ve been internet “pen pals”, as Matt put it. He’s been…

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…

On today’s show, we welcomed H. Miller and Tom Delfavero of the band Sons of Morning. These guys hail from upstate New York, and are heavily influenced by American and British blues, straight up rock and roll, and even country. Their music alternates between raw garage rock and sophisticated arrangements–but usually with a nod to…
