We kick off Season 3 with Joe Gruschecky, front man of Joe Grushecky and Houserockers. With over 20 albums to his credit Grushecky has delivered powerful live performances, spent years collaborating with Bruce Springsteen, and helped raise over 8 million dollars for the Light of Day Foundation to fight Parkinsons and ALS. Most of this was done while maintaining a full-time career as a special education teacher, making Grushecky one of the most unique stories in rock n roll.

Critically acclaimed for over 30 years, publications such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, and countless others have hailed him as one of rock & roll’s most talented singer-songwriters.

Bruce Springsteen produced the Houserocker's 'American Babylon' album, co-writing two songs and performing on most of the tracks. The relationship between the two hard-rocking storytellers has continued over the years, with The Boss winning a Grammy for his performance of a song co-written with Grushecky.

One former review reads...."In a better world, Joe Grushecky would live in a mansion down the road from Springsteen's. Instead, this enormous talent spends his days teaching some of western Pennsylvania's most troubled children....Who do you know who has made back-to-back great albums more than 20 years ago, and is doing the same thing now. There's Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Neil Young, Springsteen, maybe a few more. He's on that level."

Grushceky has been part of the Light of Day Winterfest shows along the Jersey shore since day one, still serving on the Light of Day Foundation Board. The Light of Day Foundation, utilizes the power of music to raise money and awareness in its continuing battle to defeat Parkinson’s disease and its related illnesses ALS and PSP. This year’s shows will take place January 16th through January 20th. Be sure to check out the links below and more information.

Tom Hambridge is a four-time Grammy winning performer, songwriter, and producer. Along with his own bands, he has collaborated with rock and blues icons like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, Susan Tedeschi, George Thorogood, and Keith Richards just to name a few.

Hambridge started banging on pots and pans as a kid and never looked back. Gigs with his older brother at high school dances turned into a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, one of the most respected music schools in the country, and eventually a band of his own. His work garnered many Boston music awards, and caught the ear of other music legends, starting the ball rolling to his accomplished career to date.

Hambridge is also an avid sports fan. Originally from Buffalo, he is part of Bills mafia, and his time in Boston put him there during the peak of the Celtics-Lakers rivalry and the 1986 World Series. His combination of musical talent and sports fandom make him a perfect guest for this podcast. There’s a lot to talk about in this one.
