Episode 47 - Garrett Lane Jun 24, 2007

Show notes

How can I possibly explain Garrett. He is a gentle wonderful man who on the outside is hardened by what he has done. He is a brilliant live sound engineer. He should be recorded as part of an oral history of the Seventies and rock and roll. But, as you will hear in this show, there is another, emotional side to this man that is expressed by his live performance.\n Enjoy this man, he is a jewel.\n for more info: myspace.com/olgarspace \n

Show notes

Rachanee comes to us from Lansing, Michigan and is our first crossover Christian/Pop singer.\n Rachanee and I talked about CAU being a secular Podcast as I wanted to make sure she was comfortable coming on the show.

Now, I know that I have a tendency to throw around platitudes, but I canand#39;t help it when the talent is so amazing.\n Hailing from Cambridge, MA, Teresa Storch is beyond amazing.

And now for something completely different.\n When I went to Matthewand#39;s myspace page I found this interesting South Wales born musician with songs reminiscent of the music I heard in more than a few pubs when I was touring Wales\n When Matthew arrived at the studio with his Army of musicians, cinematographers, and posse I knew I was in for something else\n Keyboards, bass synth, drums and loud, loud guitars, we completely changed out the studio mics for live performance mics and finally got a balance.\n Are you ready for some punk sea shanties?

I had a blast recording this show and cracking up in between songs.

Episode 38 - Tim Wais May 22, 2007

Show notes

25 years ago songwriter-singer/guitarist Tim Wais was a raw talent performing on legendary Chicago stages. He could be seen at the andldquo;Earl of Old Townandrdquo;, andldquo;Gate of Hornandrdquo;, andldquo;Holsteinsandrdquo; and andldquo;The Bullsandrdquo;, to name a few.\n When Tim arrived at the studio it seemed like a reunion of sorts. I was around during those days and through the foggy depths of my memory I am pretty sure I saw him perform back then.\n Well, that was then and this is now and Tim brings truth and a bit of protest with him. Pay attention to his lyrics and if you get the chance definitely see him live. He is fresh and exciting and at the same time brings lessons learned from the past to educate todayand#39;s activists.\n Tim will be opening for "Undertoad" on June 16th at The Ringside 554 E. Devon Ave. in Elk Grove Village and you should make it a point to go see him. Tim will also be on a future "Best of CAU" live show.\n For more info: www.timwais.com \n
