He’s the thirty-something, dad-bod rocking, acoustic guitar-playing eponymous frontman of the second biggest band in his small town, and his name is Grover Anderson. Raised in the historic gold rush hills of Calaveras County, Grover writes songs that tell stories of love, loss, and frontier mischief. He lives twenty minutes out a decrepit one-and-a-half lane road in the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada foothills with his wife, daughter, and dog, and when he’s not touring he teaches high school Drama and English.

Performing songs from their Little Feat catalogue and more with a decidedly different twist. They first played together on the album ”Dixie Chicken“some thirty-five years ago and since then have played together or individually on numerous recording sessions for Little Feat and countless others including Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Dionne Farris, and the Wallflowers, to name a few.Paul and Fred --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Part 2 of the Ali McGuirk interview.Ali McGuirk has made a career of captivating audiences with her powerful, buttery voice and heartfelt songwriting. Her earliest years as a performer were spent earning residencies across 4 continents, from Santorini to Hong Kong.In 2016, she was recognized by the Boston Globe as an "artist to hear," along with Lake Street Dive, Haim and other notable names. Shortly thereafter, she released her debut, self-titled EP and has been riding that momentum ever since. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Excerpt from an interview with WGBH: "Ali McGuirk was one of Boston’s best-kept secrets. That is, until 2016, when Boston Globe rock critic Steve Morse selected her, along with Lake Street Dive and Haim among others, as must-hear artists. Now the cat’s out of the bag, as they say, and the critical praise has been non-stop ever since. McGuirk’s been riding that momentum, releasing a self-titled EP followed by her full-length album Slow Burn. Both earned her top spots on several music lists, and in 2017 a Boston Music Award Nomination for Best New Artist.But being one of area’s rapidly rising artists doesn’t make performing easier for McGuirk. “Cilla, my bass-playing bestie, often reminds me that this set doesn't define you when I'm freaking out about what to play,” she tells us. “Music is a world of infinite decisions and every choice is usually gone as fast as it's made and that is kind of what makes it so amazing.”The Boston Music Awards recently selected Ali McGuirk to be a part of the 617Sessions, a program that recognizes Boston-based artists who are making great contributions to the local scene, and rewards them with a day of studio recording."In 2018 Ali took home the Blues Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards. She is nominated again this year and the winner will be announced December 11, 2019.

Part 2 of the interview with Adrian explores the ins and outs of her songwriting. Adrian discovered the ballad music of Bob Dylan at the age of 8 and released her first album when she was 14. When Adrian was 14, her life changed forever with the chance to record an album. An open mic, two newly written songs and a little girl who had been playing a pawn-shop guitar for two weeks suddenly realized her life’s purpose. With the help of an incredible couple (Mike and Liz Vanderhoof) from Utah who saw the clear potential, Adrian picked up the guitar and welded pen and paper-like weapons, moving head-on into the career she knows she was meant to pursue to this day. “I realized that I had things to say, a [cowboy] culture I longed to protect, and a spirit that had to wander. It was stumbling into perfection, into the meaning and into something I’ve never regretted for a minute. It was like coming home.”#desertdwellingmama, @buckaroogirlofficial, www.buckaroogirl.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This Front of House interview with Adrian "Buckaroo Girl" Brannon blows the doors off of the NoHo Hideout. Adrian is a heartfelt and passionate singer-songwriter with bluesy and soulful tones. She is known throughout the cowboy and the outlaw music genre. We are sure that she will capture your attention and hold it for years to come.#desertdwellingmama, @buckaroogirlofficial, www.buckaroogirl.comHere is a bit about Adrian that she talks about with Dawson:Growing up in a “gypsy family,” Adrian was exposed to the raw beauty of the Scottish highlands and the Nevada sagebrush, the harsh reality of life in a post-iron curtain Ukraine and the adventures of learning French in Switzerland before returning to life in America and falling in love with the west. “I lived in a 14 ft tipi through middle and high school” Adrian reflects, “I was a wild child with un-brushed hair and out of control riding bareback and wishing I had been born a mountain man from the fur trade era. My family not only tolerated but encouraged my unruly behavior and cultivated my love of the wild places and freedom.”Hard work, books, trapping, opera (another tale in and of itself) and barefoot adventures into the hills filled Adrian’s childhood, and although her family was not always cowboying for a living or based on huge ranches-the love of working horseback learned from her father always stayed with her. “My dad and sister were the cowboys. My mom and I were the free spirit-cowboys” Adrian says with a smile. “I refused to do things like everyone else. I didn’t care if I was weird or the odd man out, I loved the old school – the different – the roads less traveled.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
