Episode 244 - Tom Vollman Dec 28, 2009

Show notes

Tom came in to the studio on a cold wintery day and both of us had head colds. Milwaukee based, Tom put out a hell of a good show even with the cold. It sort of added a Tom Waits flavor to his voice.Certainly one of the interesting parts of the show was the monster big hole he added to his guitar which you can see in the pics from the show.Tom is one hell of a performer and I am sure you will enjoy this show.

Episode 243 - Matthew McKinney aka Wolfman America Dec 25, 2009

Show notes

Greg Combs joined me to listen to this young man's music. As you can tell by both our reactions we were impressed to say the least. Matthew in his guise as Wolfman America is a self described time traveller in the Universe, and ya know what, perhaps he is. You are going to hear the as yet somewhat raw talent of this very creative individual. Good luck trying to catagorize Wolfman America. Early Dylan, Neil Young and perhaps a smattering of Zappa, but mostly he is himself. I believe this is someone to keep track of as he is destined grow and find an audience.

Episode 242 - Julia Easterlin Dec 22, 2009

Show notes

Kat Fitzgerald joined me as co-host and brought me this most amazing young woman. In the audience with us was Nashville ledgend Donna Frost.Kat was right in that I was amazed by this unique use of a loop station. Creating vocal loops and percussion sounds and turning those sounds into songs that are very accessible and exciting. Take a listen and you will see what I mean.

Episode 241 - Danny Schmidt Dec 18, 2009

Show notes

Austin singer.Songwriter joined me for an afternoon of songs and stories.This is one hard working man. Check out his myspace page and you will see that he is booked solid in the US and the EU through May of 2010. As always I recommend that we all support singer/songwriters by buying their music. Please help them out.

Episode 240 - Derren Raser Dec 16, 2009

Show notes

To start with Darren is the winner of the 2008 Hollywood Music Awards "Best Male Vocal Performance"!!!Derren was such a joy to listen to. What a masterful approach to melding his voice and the tone of his guitar. I loved every one of his songs and I am certain that you will also.

Episode 239 - Willowfair Dec 15, 2009

Show notes

Well, let's see, where do I start? In the audience with me are Jeff Brown, Christine Knodle, and Buffy the CAU Dog. Willowfair is Husband and Wife Ryan and Mandy Bibza both on vocals and Mandy on the Keyboard, and twin sisters Priscella Dean on Cello and Joy Dean on violin.As you will hear on the show, I was in heaven. I had tears of Joy and my now famous goose bumps throughout their entire performance. If you don't get the same while listening to their show, you better check your pulse, because you must be dead.

Episode 238 - Venitia Sekema Dec 08, 2009

Show notes

OK, from the moment she walked into the studio I fell in love with this Woman from Galien, Michigan. This is a lady that can belt out a tune or sing like an angel and touch your soul. Those of you that live in Michigan or Indiana will have many chances to see her perform live as she is currently booked through Christmas of 2010. I am going to do my best to bring her back to Chicago for a live performance in 2010.

Episode 237 - Sincerely, Iris aka Todd Murray Nov 29, 2009

Show notes

Todd came in on a sunny afternoon and put on one hell of a show. His openning song "Wrong Time Lovers" got me right up on my feet and dancing.This guyand#39;s music is so damn fine. Enjoy this show. Buy his CD and go see him live....
