On today’s show, we welcomed back Eric Peter Schwartz. He’s a great singer-songwriter from the Chicago area, and he just released a new album, “American Disrepair”. 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…

Today’s show featured an interview with one of my all time favorite singer-songwriters, Sam Phillips. 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…

This was a rare non-Saturday episode of Twirl. I had a chance to webcast live during Thanksgiving morning, so we turned it into a bit of a marathon. The show ran 3-1/2 hours, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and we squeezed in 63(!) songs, all great, all indie. Artist | Track | Album Identical…

Cindy Baker, a former Sacramento radio journalist, paid us a visit on today’s show. Back in May, she and I co-hosted the Access Sacramento Big Day of Giving radio marathon. We found that among our common interests of radio (talking into a microphone for 7 hours kind of cemented that bond) and food, we share…
