Episode 173: Kaly Clauss (Singer/songwriter) [Maryland]

Episode 173 features my guest Kaly Clauss who is a Baltimore based singer/songwriter. I first came across her latest EP “Leave Her Wild” because she recorded it with former guest of the show Tony Correlli of The Deep End Studio. I featured my favorite two songs of hers, “Tennessee” and “Pinky Swear," which have a really cool pop/country sound. In our conversation we talked about all the things music, songwriting, playing live, book recommendations, and strategies for staying positive. If you like Kaly’s music you can find her on all the usual streaming and social places. Links below.

Episode 172: Paul Joyce of Megazillion (Indie Rock) [Baltimore, MD]

Episode 172 features my friend Paul Joyce of the Baltimore based band Megazillion. He just released a brand new album called “Triple Phoenix” and I would describe it has having a lot of early (70s/80s) punk rock influences as well as some experimental and psychedelic undertones. Paul grew up in heyday of the hardcore scene in New York which I have to imagine greatly shaped his style of writing. We a had a really fun in depth conversation about all sorts of topics in this episode including music, writing, dreams, bartending, psychology, and books. So if you are friends or fans of Paul’s I think you’ll probably learn something you didn’t know about him before. I featured the tracks “Good Guys” and “Sheep of Doom” respectively. You can find Megazillion’s music on all the usual streaming platforms and also find them socials. Links Below.

Episode 171: Brian Wolff & The Howlers (Indie Rock) [Austin, TX]

This week’s episode features Brian Wolff out of Austin, TX. He is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter who’s musical style draws influence heavily from Classic Rock, 90’s Alternative, and Blues. His playing style has been described as “tasteful, yet powerful.” He led the band Fair City Fire for 7 years as they produced two LPs and embarked on five national tours. When the band split during the pandemic, Wolff narrowed his focus on writing songs and moving forward as a solo artist. Wolff released his debut EP called, “The Punch.” His band, Brian Wolff & The Howlers, features Tim Moen on bass and Joe Valadez on drums (also of Soul’s Extolled). I featured two of Brian’s songs on the episode. One is called “The Punch” and the other is “I love you, Goodnight.” I should also mention that Brian is playing Meanwhile Brewing with his band tonight at 8pm. So if you are listening in from the Austin area definitely feel free to swing by. Links listed in the episode notes.

Episode 170: Nick & Adam of Wake Magnolia (Hard Rock) [Akron, OH]

Continuing with our mini-series focusing on artists in Ohio, I talked to the guys in Wake Magnolia who are a two piece alt rock band from Akron, OH consisting of Nick Galbincea (guitar & vocals) and Adam Miller (drums). They describe their sound as dirty melodic rock with thick guitar tone and loud complimenting drums. They have been releasing music since 2015. In 2022 Wake Magnolia released a new album called "Shadow Cast Light" and was awarded best rock band by the Cleavland Music Awards. I featured their songs “Bruiser” and “Majcher” respectively. They also have a brand new behind the scenes short film on the making of the album that comes out today. So we had a fun conversation talking about that, the new album, and the scene in Ohio in general. The guys will have some shows coming up in 2023 so keep and look out for them and check out their stuff on Spotify. Links below.

Episode 169: Kyle & Nathan of Plastic Lemonade (Indie Rock) [Athens, OH]

This week’s episode features Kyle Willison & Nathan Cain of the Ohio based band Plastic Lemonade. They are a self described folk punk band and I would add that they have more than a fair share of indie rock to their sound as well. The band is playing shows around Athens and is at times up to 7 members. They have a brand new full length album out called “And Time…” I featured a couple songs of theirs, “Strong Words” and “Instability” respectively. So if you like their sound you can definitely find all of Plastic Lemonade's music out on all the streaming platforms. Thanks for listening and supporting local music. Links below.

Episode 168: Kevin McCall of Andorra [Boogie Swamp Rock] (Philadelphia, PA)

This week’s episode features my guest Kevin McCall of the Philadelphia based band Andorra. He also runs his agency called Bad Habits Booking. Kevin booked my band’s last show in Philly and I wanted to finally get him on the show to talk about everything his band has been up to. Andorra has a new documentary out which covers their last 10 years of making music and playing shows. I featured a couple of Andorra’s new singles on this episode, “Guts” and “Leather Jacket” respectively, which you can check out on Spotify or wherever you stream music. Hopefully if you are friends of fans of Kevins you enjoy the conversation. Big gratitude & thanks to everyone in the Philly music scene and to you for listening and supporting local music.

Bonus episode this week with my guest Jeff Campbell of the Philadelphia based band Wisher. This episode is a bit of a recap of a recent show that we played together at The Grape Room in Philly a couple weeks ago. It was really fun night and I wanted to get Jeff on the show for a proper conversation. He’s been touring the the country for about the last 20 years or so and has even made it on the Jimmy Kimmel show. So he had some fun stories to share and also talk about his new songs. I featured “To The Sun” and “The Well” respectively and they are out on Spotify. Thanks for supporting local music. You can check out all things Wisher in the episode links.

Episode 165: Nick Thompson - Surfin’ On The Lake (Chill Rock) [Annapolis/San Diego]

This week’s episode features my long time friend Nick Thompson, also know as Surfin’ On The Lake. This is his third time on the show and I wanted to get him back on because a lot has changed in his life since the last episode. He is still making music but he has also joined the Navy and moved across the the country. A former Annapolis native, he is now stationed in San Diego. He has a brand new song coming out tomorrow called “Good Time Girls” and you'll hear it for the first time on this episode. I also featured another recent song of Nick’s called “Little Tiny Bottles of Beer." I also happened to play the guitar solo on the end of the track which was fun. So whether you are friends or fans of Nick’s I hope you appreciate the conversation. Thanks for supporting local music and art. Links below.

Episode 163: Jackson Vincent (Indie Rock) [Philadelphia, PA]

This week’s episode features my new friend Jackson Vincent from Philadelphia. He is an art student with a brand new album out called Normal Tension. I featured a couple of his songs on the episode. One is called “Happiest” and the other is called “Roving Soul.” We had a real well rounded conversation about film, photography, music, and Jackson’s general philosophies on writing. We also talked about his style of music in particular because he uses auto-tune in a unique way. In my mind his sound is akin to Eilliot Smith (from the Good Will Hunting soundtrack) or something along those lines. Jackson self-describes his music with the tag line “Music For Ghosts.” If you like his stuff you can find it on Spotify or at the links below listed in the episode notes. Thanks for listening and supporting local artists.
