  • E23 - "Last Song" by and with Sarah McQuaid

    E23 - "Last Song" by and with Sarah McQuaid
    Aug 21 2024
    Taken straight from her bio, "Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.

    Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation.

    All this is abundantly demonstrated by her new live album and video series The St Buryan Sessions — but needs to be savoured in person to be fully appreciated."

    I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful conversation with Sarah about her song, "Last Song", her record, "St. Buryan Session", and anything else we could think of.

    Please look her up and show her support wherever you live, but particularly so if she's coming to a city near you on her Fall 2024 tour of the United States.

    E17 - "Screaming For A Change" by The Iron Roses with Becky Fontaine and Nathan Gray
    Jan 13 2024
    I am honored to have met with Becky Fontaine and Nathan Gray from The Iron Roses to talk about "Screaming For A Change", the first single off their s/t new record that came out October 20, 2023.

    They are an incredibly inspiring duo whether they are co-fronting their amazing band or having an open chat on a podcast.

    I've not had a chance to see them live....YET! That is a priority for me in 2024. I hope it becomes a priority for you too.

    The best way to support them is to listen to them on Spotify, which you can do at this link:

  • E16 - "Bizarre Faith" by Perfect Female Type with Jason Herrboldt

    E16 - "Bizarre Faith" by Perfect Female Type with Jason Herrboldt
    Dec 31 2023
    Grateful to have another chat with my creative and prolific dear friend, Jason Herrboldt, to talk about the Perfect Female Type song, "Bizarre Faith" off of the record "Wet Circuits".

    Jason has at least three active project going on right now between Perfect Female Type, Seven Whores of the Apocalypse, and Thrill Behind Barks. Every other month or more I see on his socials that he's releasing new music. Super stoked to have him on again and go down various rabbit holes from vocal authenticity to the celebration of our derivative influences through current songwriting.

    Be sure to look up Perfect Female Type at the following:

    https://perfectfemaletype.bandcamp.com
