Narada Michael Walden | Interview

February 21, 2024 08:00 - 34 minutes

Calling Narada Michael Walden a "musical powerhouse" would be a severe understatement. A former member of the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra, he's also a prolific producer, has been the drummer for Journey, co-wrote the classic Aretha Franklin song "Freeway of Love," and now has a new album, "Euphoria," with the single "The More I Love My Life," featuring Carlos Santana, Sting, and Stevie Wonder.

Oteil Burbridge

September 20, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes

You won't find many bass players on the jam band scene more respected than Oteil Burbridge. He's best known for his time in The Allman Brothers Band, where he served from 1997 until the group ended their storied career in 2014. Before that, Burbridge was in the Aquarium Rescue Unit, a group founded by former wrestling manager Colonel Bruce Hampton that was known for blending top-tier musicianship with freewheeling fun.

Julia Cannon

August 23, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutes

Aaron Lee Tasjan, a terrific singer-songwriter who was a guest on the Songfacts Podcast in 2021, turned me on to Julia Cannon, another very gifted songwriter who also produces, sings and plays multiple instruments. Cannon is highly introverted, so her promotion is mostly word-of-mouth. Once you hear what she has to offer, you'll probably spread the word too. "How many issues can I blame on my absentee dad?" That's one of many questions Cannon asks on her new album, How Many. We'll start wit...

Kelsey Warren - Blak Emoji

August 09, 2023 08:00 - 33 minutes

Kelsey Warren, who goes by the stage name Blak Emoji joins the pod to chat about his new album Eclectro, which is available anywhere you listen to music.

Kelsey is a passionate and talented man who not only writes his own tunes but also produces for others. He can be found playing a few shows this year and you can find that linked below! https://www.blakemoji.com/...

Cole Gallagher

July 26, 2023 08:00 - 36 minutes

Our guest today is Cole Gallagher, who has said, "They say that the only way to understand the world around you is by looking within." After our conversation talking about his new EP, The Confluence, set for releasing on Aug 4, I think it is clear that Cole considers his answers before responding and certainly takes the time to observe the world around him. At only 21 his voice sounds as if it's been around much longer. Cole is clearly a gifted songwriter, and for this record he was fortunate...

Raye Zaragoza

June 28, 2023 03:00 - 37 minutes

Raye Zaragoza is our guest today and we are chatting about her new album, Hold That Spirit, set for release on August 11. Listening to the album, I can tell this is an artist who is not afraid to get personal and bare her soul through her art. Beyond talking about these new songs, this episode goes into some of Ray's more personal moments, including breaking off a wedding engagement and using those funds to produce this album, as well as her battles with an eating disorder. I found Raye and...

TikTok sensation ROSIE

June 14, 2023 08:00 - 36 minutes

On the show today we have one of the most fascinating success stories I have heard in a long time! ROSIE (Rosaileen Scher) is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter who got her big break from a viral TikTok post of her song "Never The 1." She gives us the inside look at the days and moments surrounding that event, and it is incredible! ROSIE has a new EP dropping on June 23 called 5 Songs For Healing. Before our interview it was easy to tell that Rosie is a great songwriter, but after speaking with...

Devon Portielje of Half Moon Run

May 31, 2023 08:00 - 28 minutes

Maybe you are getting tired of me saying this, but I am so excited to bring you this episode and this amazing new music from the Montreal band Half Moon Run. Our guest is Devon Portielje, one of the three band members, all of whom sing and play multiple instruments. Their new album, Salt, drops June 2. This album caught my ear and engaged me front to back, so I really enjoyed speaking with Devon to find out how some of these tracks came together. Whether it's strumming a ukulele on the beach...

American Idol winner Phillip Phillips

May 17, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes

It's kinda crazy that Phillip Phillips is just 32. He was 21 when he won American Idol back in 2012 and released his coronation single, "Home," which played during the Olympics that year. Phillips didn't write that song but has written or co-written most of his songs since, including all the tracks on his latest album, Drift Back, set for release on June 9. It's his first album since becoming a dad in 2019. Phillip tells us his son is both strong-willed and amazing, and he's up for the chall...

Harpist Brandee Younger

May 03, 2023 08:00 - 20 minutes

You probably don't think about the harp very often, but Brandee Younger is here to change that. She's part of a new generation of harpists, bringing the instrument to contemporary music while also honoring the heritage of harpists of the past, particularly Dorothy Ashby, who elevated the form from the '50s through the '80s. Younger's harp can be heard on tracks by Alessia Cara, Pete Rock, Jane Monheit, Ravi Coltrane, and a mix of other artists across the musical spectrum. She's also an artis...

The Strip Club Songs Episode

April 19, 2023 08:00 - 50 minutes

This episode is a little different - it really comes from my endlessly curious brain. Now, I am not a regular attendee of strip clubs. Honestly, they really aren't my thing. But, they are a place where music is played, heard, and completely controls the vibe, so I wanted to talk to some experts and ask them the question that was running through my head. Why, when I think of music played in strip clubs, do I only think of two eras: the 1980s and early 2000s hip-hop?  Danny Meyers and Ilan Fon...

The Alice Cooper Episode

April 05, 2023 08:00 - 43 minutes

Today's guest is Gary Graff, author of Alice Cooper @75. Gary's book goes in-depth to explore 75 key moments in the history of Alice Cooper - the man and the band.

Gary discuss some of these moments and also go over a few songs, including "I'm Eighteen" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy." The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Alice Cooper. The "Dying...

Vashti Bunyan

March 22, 2023 08:00 - 38 minutes

Vashti Bunyan didn't know her 1970 debut album Just Another Diamond Day had reached cult status until the '90s, when she first typed her name into a search engine. In those 20+ years, many listeners had not only discovered the album, but found it quite profound. In 2000, it was re-issued on CD. The album is a signpost on the road to "alternative folk" - think Joanna Newsom, Animal Collective, and Devendra Banhart, all of whom have cited her as an influence and collaborated with her. Bunyan g...

Adele Bertei

March 07, 2023 09:00 - 53 minutes

When New York City was its seediest - the late '70s - it was also home to burgeoning artistic scene that would bring some life back into the city that never sleeps. Our guest today is Adele Bertei, who was part of the action with The Bloods, the first all-female openly lesbian band on the scene. Adele later became a songwriter, with songs recorded by Sheena Easton and Thomas Dolby. Here, we discuss her remarkable life and her new book, Twist: An American Girl. Here is a link to Adele's YouTub...

Colin Blunstone of The Zombies

February 22, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes

On the show today I have the great pleasure of chatting with Colin Blunstone of The Zombies, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. If you're not aware of them by name I am sure you are by tune, as they have written some of the most familiar songs of the mid-'60s, including "Time Of The Season" and "She's Not There," which we get a fascinating story about during this episode! Colin and the band have a new album coming out on March 31 called Different Game that we disc...

Matt Ellis of Villages

February 08, 2023 09:00 - 32 minutes

Today's guest is Matt Ellis from the band Villages, a folksy foursome from the nether regions of Nova Scotia. Their new album, Dark Island, comes out February 17. In this episode, Matt and I talk about some of the key tracks and find out the band writes - they are certainly products of their environment. Listening to the album top to bottom, it's clear these guys are pulling inspiration from everywhere, including American folk, Celtic, and obviously from their Canadian roots. Matt and the ba...

Hamish Hawk

January 25, 2023 09:00 - 50 minutes

It's not often that I hear a new artist and get taken back to multiple eras and styles of music, but that is what today's guest did! Hamish Hawk is based in Edinburgh and has been making some noise over the last couple of years. When I put on his new album, Angel Numbers, I was taken back to the new age era of the late '70s and early '80s. Then my wife called out from the other room saying, "This sounds like David Bowie!" Quite the first impression! Today, I chat with Hamish about the album,...

Frances Luke Accord

January 11, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes

On this first show of the new year I am so pleased to have Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers, the duo who make up the singers and songwriters of Frances Luke Accord. They have an amazing new album called Safe In Sound, which is being released for your listening pleasure on February 9th.  Today we get a chance to hear how they came together as a band in college and listen in as they banter about some of their songs and how they came together. Fun fact, they don't always agree! And of course, we...

Third Annual Holiday Songs Special

December 07, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes

Hosts from across the Pantheon network talk about holiday songs - good, bad, and sometimes very odd. One host finds "Wonderful Christmastime" triggering; another found a gem by Loretta Lynn called "To Heck With Old Santa Claus." "The Chanukah Song" also gets a deconstruction, as does "Christmas In Hollis" and "Fairytale Of New York" a rare down-on-your-luck Christmas song. Another surprise: A chestnut from Weird Al Yankovic. https://www.songfacts.com/ https://www.facebook.com/songfacts https:...

"Africa," "God Only Knows," and Other Songs with Multiple Lives

November 23, 2022 09:00 - 47 minutes

In this episode, we take a deep dive into some classic songs with Steve Baltin, author of Anthems We Love: 29 Iconic Artists on the Hit Songs That Shaped Our Lives. Baltin got his stories directly from the artists who recorded the songs, conducting interviews with the likes of Joe Perry, Brad Delson of Linkin' Park, and even had a contribution from the famously elusive Tom Waits. As fellow song investigators, we're very impressed with Baltin's work. He does a great job tracing the trajectory ...

The Prince Episode with Author Arthur Lizie

November 09, 2022 09:00 - 50 minutes

Today on the show we have Arthur Lizie, who has a new book coming out on November 15 called Prince On Prince: Interviews And Encounters. Prince is one of those artists I have loved as long as I can remember but never truly learned much about his story. Through Arthur's book I have discovered why. Prince's relationship with the press was on-again, off-again at best and he did an amazing job at keeping the mystique around his name. I love the way this book reads with chronological interviews th...

Alex Forbes

October 26, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour

We've seen the name Alex Forbes on songwriting credits for years, going back to the '80s with "Don't Rush Me" by Taylor Dayne and "Too Turned On" by Alisha. More recently, she popped up on a great song called "Sugar My" by Jann Klose, who told us about writing it with her. Our curiosity piqued, we invited Alex on the Songfacts Podcast to learn more, and we're sure glad we did. Alex is a student of the game and also a teacher, coaching songwriting at creativesongwriter.com. In this episode, we...

Ayla Schafer

July 06, 2022 08:00 - 52 minutes

Well I am very excited for you all to listen to today's show as we have Ayla Schafer. Ayla is an English singer and songwriter who has one of the most unique journeys we have had on the show to date.   This episode goes in depth about how music can affect us as people. As I record this intro, I am camping in the Wyoming highlands and have had a few days to reset, slow down, and clear my head of all the noise that life brings from time to time.

BJ Barham of American Aquarium

June 08, 2022 08:00 - 50 minutes

Ten years ago BJ Barham and his band American Aquarium were about to call it quits. They'd been touring nationally at small clubs and had seemingly plateaued in their growth as a band. They'd written some new tunes and decided to hop into a studio with Jason Isbell to record what they thought would be their swan song album, Burn. Flicker. Die. It was not.   As BJ describes in this Songfacts Podcast episode, things changed after that album. When I press him on what he thinks happened, he point...

Lester Chambers of The Chambers Brothers, Moonalice

April 27, 2022 08:00 - 37 minutes

Even by the lofty standards of the late '60s, The Chambers Brothers were visionaries, blending rock, gospel and psychedelia into a musical bouillabaisse seasoned with social awareness. Lester is the third of the four Brothers, who were joined by a white drummer named Brian Keenan. The Chambers family is from Mississippi, but they formed their band in Los Angeles after the oldest brother, George, was discharged from the Army and settled there. "He went to California because he no longer wante...

In this episode of the Songfacts Podcast, we discuss the music and life of John Mellencamp with David Masciotra, author of Mellencamp: American Troubadour. Mellencamp has a reputation for being a bit... prickly, but David saw a different side of him when he was invited to Mellencamp's Indiana studio to conduct an interview.

Michelle Willis

March 15, 2022 08:00 - 48 minutes

Michelle Willis... is so startlingly talented. She's probably one of the best singers I've ever heard in my life. ~David Crosby When asked how her 2012 self would react if told she would have David Crosby and Michael McDonald play on one of her albums one day, Michelle Willis would not have been surprised. That's not arrogance, it's self confidence, and Willis oozes with it. She is a performer who knows what she is capable of with her voice, her instrument (keyboard), and her writing. Havin...

Bonnaroo Superjam Producer Paul Peck

March 01, 2022 09:00 - 47 minutes

Today on the show I am speaking with Paul Peck. Paul got his start in the music industry as a student at Tulane University. After an inspiring trip to the New Orleans Jazz Fest, he joined the Superfly team that eventually was involved in organizing the first Bonnaroo festival in 2002. In this episode, we get some behind-the-scenes stories on how that came together, and how he put together "super jams" where artists who ordinarily wouldn't perform together join forces on stage.

The Heavy Hours - Gardens track by track

February 16, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour

A few short months ago, The Heavy Hours came on the show and introduced us to their amazing music. In this episode, we have them back to take us track by track through their new album Gardens, comprised of songs they wrote a few years ago. It's set for release on February 18.

Tristen

February 02, 2022 09:00 - 40 minutes

Teddy Grossman

January 19, 2022 09:00 - 36 minutes

Today, we bring you Teddy Grossman, a singer and songwriter whose first full-length studio album, Soon Come, will drop on March 22, 2022.  Grossman left his 9-5 in early 2020, to pursue his passion. He has a voice that simply must be heard - it reminds me of St. Paul and The Broken Bones and Leon Russell. His lyrics are both relatable and personal, and his story, even at its beginnings, is worth hearing. The process of writing a debut album is long and winding, with many ups and downs along...

Larkin Poe and Nu Deco Ensemble

Hello and happy new year to all of you! Welcome to a new year of Songfacts Podcast, A little over a year ago, I was scrolling Facebook and saw a couple of ladies jamming to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." Well, it caught my attention (to say the least) and I went into a wormhole of all their amazing videos.  The sisters Megan and Rebecca Lovell make up the core of Larkin Poe. They play bluesy rock and roll with sugar-sweet voices and harmonies. Their covers are amazing, but when you liste...
