    Episode 666 - The Flips 2017 Apr 10, 2017
    Show notes

    The Flips are: Nick Sintos: Vocals, guitar, Mike Carlson: Drums, percussion, Annette Nowacki: Keys, vocals, Maccabee Kelem: Bass, vocals, and Dustin Martin: Guitar. The Flips came into CAU and performed a stripped down acoustic version of their music. Nick Sintos and the band took us on a journey into the depths of depression and back in an incredibly clear and sensitive portrait. Nick brings us his own experiences on that path of potential destruction and educated the audience by opening our eyes to the realities of depression. This is a very important message for us all. CAU engineer/producer Ellis Clark called me when he finished mixing this show and declared The Flips the best band he has mixed in a year. Click here to see all the videos from this show.

    Show notes

    Nathan XanderWriting songs in the spirit of what Greil Marcus termed, 'The Old, Weird America', Nathan Xander is an Americana/folk singer specializing in hushed songs of tension and regret. Nathan's unconventional finger-picking guitar style and a self-confessed obsession with the storytelling tradition of country music have marked him as an intriguing prospect in New York City. Having previously lived in Union City, PA, Pittsburgh, and Chicago, New York has been his home base since 2011.With lyrics often recalling the spidery narratives of Southern-Gothic writers such as Flannery O'Connor and the offbeat movies of the Cohen Brothers, Xander's unorthodox aesthetic mix of the rootsy and the surreal marks a sound undeniably his own.

    Episode 658 - Will Mackie-Jenkins with Emily McGinn Dec 26, 2016
    Show notes

    Will Mackie-Jenkins is a singer-songwriter in Chicago, IL.Will and the ever amazing Emily McGinn of Baby Shark fame came in and recorded a wonderful set of Will's music. Will's background as a degreed Poet with a book of published poetry was quite evident. The lyrics are creative, inventive, and certainly thought provoking.His debut EP Cherries in Bloom tells a narrative of departure, grieving, and seasoned love over the course of its six songs. Folk rhythms of his native Virginia are refurbished, made unique, and combined with unusual lyricism that is often simultaneously haunting and sweet. Recorded in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago during late summer/early fall of 2015, Cherries in Bloom has a curious urban sensibility to it–as if the speaker of the songs is reflecting upon a very different past life that can never be revisited, but must be made to have meaning. AcknowledgmentsAll music and lyrics for Cherries in Bloom were written and performed by Will Mackie-Jenkins. He played the guitars, the harmonica, the organ, the tambourine, and sang all the vocals on the EP. Derik Kendall performed violin on "Miss Virginia" and "The Dog's Song." Cherries in Bloom was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Rob Ruccia at Uptown Recording in Chicago, IL. Chan Arthur (carthur@saic.edu) painted the album's cover art. Special thanks to Derik Kendall, Lora Mackie, Warren Mackie-Jenkins, the Hewitts, Emily McGinn, and Rachel Sharp for their contributions and support throughout the process.
