Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Hop on the Roadcase bus for this informative and important conversation with spectacular Houston-based artist, Kam Franklin. Kam is the vocalist for The Suffers whose amalgamation of sound and explosion of energy has garnered heaps of praise from NPR's Bob Boilen for an amazing Tiny Desk performance, and long before that show, in an amazing twist of fate, The Suffers made their late-night debut on the David Letterman show in 2015. Kam has been hard at work during the pandemic -- she live-streamed from her home every week for the first three months -- and since then has been working on a solo album as well as new material with The Suffers who have an upcoming album scheduled for release this Fall. A victim of sexual harassment and assault, Kam is very outspoken about her experiences and shares with us the challenges she faces on a daily basis along with talking about her relationship with live performance, and the intricacies of managing her solo career.

Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach and Ben Atkind of Goose Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Join us for this exciting and super-fun interview with Rick, Peter and Ben of Goose!! Josh caught up with the band over July 4 weekend for a live, in-person interview before their show at The Pines in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. During the Covid shutdown, Goose found creative ways to keep the music alive, streaming shows and content that encouraged their fans to get involved in a big way, which became a hallmark of Goose's recent success. Goose's popularity actually sky-rocketed since Covid based not only on the strength and power of their playing (and play they did!), but also by virtue of being a constant and comforting presence in their fans' lives. The band's recently released album, Shenanigans, represents even more powerful sonic evidence that these guys absolutely rock. Goose shows, on the other hand, are monstrous demonstrations of the power of LIVE!! Most recently, the band is also producing its own festival, FredFest, at the Lockn Farm site August 20-22 featuring sets by Goose, Dawes, Dr. Dog and Corey Wong. Come on aboard and learn more about Goose: super talented musicians and stellar humans who will also rock your socks off!!
