This episode focuses on The Infamous Stringdusters. Rob sat down with multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/vocalist Jeremy Garrett for an interview/performance session (he plays a bunch of songs!), and then shortly after the interview his band The Infamous Stringdusters announced the forthcoming release of “Toward The Fray.” Andy Falco kindly joined Seth and Rob for the intro, and talked about the record (set for early 2022 release) and offered some other current Stringdusters tidbits. Rob's chat with Jeremy begins with a discussion of “Wanderer's Compass,” Jeremy's solo record for which Rob has a particular fondness, and about working as a solo artist in general. We learn the intriguing story of Jeremy's fiddle and about how his father went from being a street musician to a touring professional. This interview was conducted on September 11, 2021, which leads to Jeremy remembering his September 11, 2001 experience when he was in the Grasshoppers with his father.

In 2020, wTnS wasn’t able to bring the Annual Col. Bruce Hampton Tribute to you, our listeners. Given this, and the fact that many of you are still stuck at home almost a year into the COVID nightmare - wTnS decided to bring you a li’l Col. Bruce Hampton podcast gift for the 2020 Christmas/whatever holiday you celebrate season. We dug deep into the podcast vault, and unEarthed some previously unheard audio from interviews conducted in Atlanta’s Diamond Street Studios before one of TDawg’s legendary “Holiday Hootenanny” concerts.

Jeff Mosier (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Blueground Undergrass) and Bill Fleming (Hair Of The Dog, Expand Band) help the hosts celebrate The Col. a whole lot, and the Christmas Holiday Spirit a little bit as well. We are treated to four exclusive duet performances mixed with some stunning stories! Jeff and Rob even share one example of how even from the beyond, The Col. continues to mess with his friends. Bruce himself finds his way into this episode cosmically, verbally and musically (the latter thanks to his Live at The Vista Room record with the Madrid Express).

This is the pilot episode of a new Inside Out wTnS series which finds hosts Rob Turner and Seth Weiner focusing on the Georgia music world. The podcasts’ goal is to shine a light on all things related to the Georgia music industry - and the people, artists and supporters who make it all happen. In this first episode, we take a look at how Collectiv and Beware Presents were able to put on large-scale concerts at The Atlanta Motor Speedway during a global pandemic. We focus on the pair of Umphrey’s McGee concerts which took place in October (one of which was almost canceled due to tornado warnings). First, Eric Von Haessler of WSB’s “Von Haessler Doctrine shares insight about the Speedway itself, as well as about how his interest in NASCAR was rekindled when he moved to Atlanta in the late 90s. Then, we dive into the preparation, execution, and enjoyment of this unique event from multiple angles. The Site/Event Director (Kit Blanchard) explains about how many folks had to be on board with each other to make the shows happen, particularly in the immediate wake of tornado warnings on Saturday. We also hear of the experiences of a Social Distancing Ambassador (Nicholas Woodruff), and a long-time music fan who traveled from Colorado to see the Umphrey’s McGee, “Drive-in At The Speedway” concert (Steve Homer). The episode ends with Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee giving his thoughts on the band’s experience, and how it all looked and felt from their position. Sprinkled throughout the episode are thoughts and feedback from the hosts, who attended the first of these two concerts. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The lead guitarist of Umphrey's McGee and Ali Baba's Tahini, Jake Cinninger kindly gave Seth and Rob some time to talk about one of his elite guitar heroes, Eddie Van Halen. Eddie was a pivotal part of Jake's decision to focus on playing guitar to the extent that he did. We hear Jake discuss (and demonstrate with his guitar) how Eddie was an innovator, how he evolved as a player and the importance of Van Halen. Jake also talks about how he first heard Van Halen, and the time he saw them live. Jake also talks about, and demonstrates how Eddie impacted his songwriting.

Seth and Rob sit down with one of Weiner's absolute favorite musical artists, Bahamas. This is the performance name for Afie Jurvanen, a brilliant Canadian (with strong roots to Finland) singer/songwriter. The band's fifth release, "Sad Hunk" is a continuation of this artist's brilliant studio career. Afie shares some insight on specific songs on the record, and elaborates on how his songwriting process has evolved. Conversation flows freely as the topics include his forthcoming webcast series, salmon fishing, scheming/executing strong backing vocals, allowing happiness to happen to you, being a father and how "Half Your Love" is a bit of a reward for him constantly challenging himself to write a better and more compelling love song. We also hear about the Robbie Robertson and others are among his listeners, how his Nova Scotia province avoided COVID and how much he learned touring with more established artists - particularly Feist. Jurvanen even shares with our listeners a revelation he had when while high on mushrooms as a teen, he was confronted with a firearm - and he gives specific hints of what a Jurvanen-curated music festival might be like. All of the music contained in this episode is from the Bahamas' 2020 release, "Sad Hunk." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rob and Seth chatted with Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards shortly after she and her band had released the single, "Revolution." Erika talks about the message of the song, and how it is a part of a record that will be the first full-length release from Heartless Bastards in over five years. We hear the song in its entirety, and we hear Erika talk about how the record was completed just before COVID locked us all in our homes. We include a bunch of music from her debut solo record "Sweet Unknown" because Erika explains to us in detail about how the forthcoming Heartless Bastards release in many ways expands on themes that were a huge part of that brilliant debut solo release. She also shares with us how she has coped with her time during the pandemic. We also go into the Wayback Machine and learn of her early days in Dayton, and why she moved to Cincinnati. We also find out how her persistence there, and her insistence on playing a wildly under-attended gig in Akron would each serve to change her life forever. This episode covers plenty of other territory, and it demonstrates that Erika is a very sincere and thoughtful person beyond her writing and performing excellence.Music From The Episode:Heartless BastardsRevolution (new single)Parted Ways (from Arrow)Erika Wennerstrom Twisted Highway (from Sweet Unknown)Letting Go (from Sweet Unknown)Time (from Sweet Unknown)Be Good To Yourself (from Sweet Unknown)Gravity (from Sweet Unknown)Be Here To Love Me (from Tribute To Townes Van Zandt)Mahalia JacksonGo Tell It On The Mountain (from original 1962 Christmas With Mahalia record)Lhasa de Sala1001 Nights (from 2009 release Lhasa)Osiris Media - www.osirispod.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth - insideoutwtns.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In honor of Como de Allstars, the first studio release from Greyboy Allstars in 7 years, Seth and Rob share a recent a Zoom chat with Robert Walter (keyboards) and Elgin Park (guitar) of the band. We learn a good bit about the ethos that these two and Karl Denson (sax, vocals), Chris Stillwell (bass) and Aaron Redfield (drums) had in mind when recording the seductive new release. They talk about how the initial genesis of the record came out of what was initially unfortunate circumstances, and why they chose to release the record when they did.

We learn how his loss influenced the All For The Song record, and how the band still feels him with them as they move forward a different twist on their live sound. Todd talks about how Col. Bruce Hampton was a big part of them finding bassist Andrew Altman, and how Altman in turn brought into the RRE fold another Bruce Hampton alum, Matt Slocumb. Todd jokes around plenty - but gets serious when he recalls the night he and his previous band From Good Homes opened for Bob Weir and Ratdog on the night Jerry Garcia died. The other two songs performed were "Slipping Away" and "The Great Divide." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode features Rob's interview with guitarist and songwriter John Kadlecik, who comes roaring out the gate with some strikingly candid commentary on previous songwriter collaborations. John talks about how it feels as though "ancient intelligence" takes over during improvisation, about how while in Furthur he was able to find his space between the approaches of Bob Weir and Phil Lesh (from tempo to touring preferences) and playfully speaks of Mickey Hart "raiding" a Hunter lyric John had put to song. John talks about his early days, particularly one early teacher's response to John's interest in learning how to improvise on violin. He also talks about his various pre-Dark Star Orchestra musical outfits, and some of the decision points behind initially committing his musical life to, and the eventual evolution of DSO. John and Rob move through a ton of topics, spending a bit of time on JK's On The Road release in general, with John shedding particular light on the story behind "The Hanging of John Collins" in particular. We even learn of how John attended Phish's Clifford Ball as a guest of the band's drummer Jon Fishman, of how JK was surprised to learn that his own musical ethos was in some part an echo of that of Bach, about his experience playing Radio City Music Hall with Furthur in the immediate wake of Weir and Lesh learning of the death of "Bear" Owsley and about the time John met John Barlow. The episode ends with a skeletal version of "So Blue" which John wrote with Robert HunterwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode features the wildly versatile singer/songwriter/musician Keller Williams, who comes right out the gate with enthusiastic tales from his experiences with his family seeing theater on Broadway. Williams was on the heels of having just released three records (ADD, SANS and SPEED) and he shares insight about each, particularly SPEED, his third with the spirited acoustic musicians Larry and Jenny Keel. Before the first of three exclusive performances, Keller gets inspired to read the lyrics of (and tell the story behind) a piece he is working on in honor of Col. Bruce Hampton.

This episode features Rob's interview with Kellen Asebroek of Fruition from last fall. They discuss the two EP's this band has released recently (Wild As The Night last fall and Broken At The Break of Day early in 2020), how having 14 new songs in play makes writing setlists more fun. Many of the songs are results of the band becoming more collaborative than ever and increasingly able to have open, clear and at times blunt communication with regard to composing and recording songs. Kellen also elaborates on how the members' families encouragement was key to them getting through the very earliest days of the band, how Fruition's music has evolved in the live setting, how he was influenced as a musician and a person by Jack Johnson and KA offers his response to seeing his first live Phish show. These two discuss plenty more, and not only does Kellen tell a nice JamCruise story from the past, but in the episode outro which follows Seth returns to share his thoughts on the 2020 JamCruise. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode features the second part of Rob's lengthy chat with Marc Brownstein, the bassist of Star Kitchen and Disco Biscuits. Marc explains how the initial genesis of Star Kitchen occurred when he chased down guitarist Danny Mayer at Mayer's son's little league baseball game. Brownstein goes on to reveal how the band decided to add keyboardist Rob Marscher and drummer Marlon Lewis and the spices that each continue to bring to the kitchen. We even hear a snippet of a song from Roadside Attraction, one of Rob's first bands. Marc also relates that while they are learning classic soul/R&B music, they for the most part are focusing on deep cuts, and as one fan commented - they are essentially, "taking these classic songs are remixing them live." Marc relates how he became a better musician just by playing and sharing notes with John Kadlecik, shares some insight on modes + scales, explains how "off-time" songs work best when most listeners don't even realize the song's unique tempo and he gives examples of how his approach to songwriting has evolved He also relates his memory of the night that his bandmates Aron Magner and (original drummer) Sam Altman spontaneously came up with the sound that would become a significant part of the band's future. Brownie also points to three things that greatly fueled The Biscuits' growth and tells a fantastic Stanley Jordan story. This episode also offers a good bit of Star Kitchen's performance in Atlanta last fall, opening for The New Mastersounds. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Seth and Rob first speak with Jon Gutwillig and we learn about how Osiris podcasts like Under The Scales, No Simple Road and this one inspired him to begin his own podcast. This podcast, Touchdowns All Day, in turn inspired his Disco Biscuits to return to active touring. Many other recent and past Gutwillig insights are revealed, including the ethos behind the new Biscuit "alter ego" Tractorbeam, and why having Marc Brownstein as a bassist has been pivotal to the continuing evolution of the band. Then we hear's Rob's conversation with Biscuits (and Star Kitchen) bassist Marc Brownstein, who also offers some of his feelings about Tractorbeam. We also learn how some mid-Roggae Mike Gordon arpeggios were part of the encouragement that ultimately led to Marc reassessing his whole approach to playing bass, and how gratified he is that new life has been breathed into the now-iconic Disco Biscuits. This is a fun, and in-depth conversation which traverses many topics and will be continued next episode. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rob also quizzes Seth about his recent trip to be YOUR ROCKTIONEER for the "What The Night Brings" concert in celebration of the life of Jeff Austin at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jay Cobb Anderson, from Fruition, calls in to debut the studio track "Forget About You" from the band's forthcoming Wild As The Night album. He also talks about the track, and shines a little light on his songwriting process in general. The mini-episode ends with the new track, followed by the debut live version of a Mimi Naja song "Playin' On (Words)" which was originally released as part of the Volume 2 of the band's limited release 7" vinyl series. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The majority of this episode features Seth and Rob chatting with the eclectic ace of the keyboards John Medeski about everything from his high school days playing with Jaco Pastorius, to his current days playing in the adventurous Mad Skillet. John talks about why his landmark organ trio Medeski, Martin and Wood's initial choice to hit the road in the 90s was a bold one at the time, and what has motivated him to continue to push the envelope in all of his acts over the years. Medeski shares memories about exploring boundless musical terrain with John Zorn, what was unique about playing with Jack Bruce (beyond how he made ceilings crumble) and of course Col. Bruce Hampton. He also talks in detail about his approach to composition and improvisation, his work with The Wood Brothers and the future of Medeski, Martin and Wood. This episode also contains the first little window into Rob's recent interview with the iconic jazz and fusion drummer Billy Cobham. Cobham here relates some of his experiences with The Grateful Dead. Cobham gets his own episode soon during which he will talk about his entire career, particularly his recently released "Time Lapse Photos (The Crosswinds Project)." wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mental health is a difficult topic, but it is important that it not be an ignored one. There are many musicians (and people in general) dealing with brain disorders, and in this episode we celebrate Nuci's Space. Seth and Rob hope with this episode to shine a light on how Nuci's Space provides a culture free of stigma for anyone who is struggling with mental health issues. This actually started as a conversation Seth had with Anders Osborne's manager Phil Einsohn (7S Management) at the Conscious Alliance auction in Colorado just days prior to the passing of Neal Casal. Inspired by this, and devastated by Neal's passsing, Seth later would reach out to Andy Frasco with the interest of conducting a "roundtable" of sorts on musicians and mental health. Ultimately Rob and Seth traveled to Nuci's Place in Athens, and Bob Sleppy (executive director) and Lesley Cobbs (counseling advocate) joined the hosts on the conversation with Frasco and Osborne joining by phone. This discussion, and the one the hosts have with Nuci's Space founder Linda Phillips in the introduction to the episode, is designed to demonstrate that help is out there for people who need it. Nothing is insurmountable, there is no need to be ashamed and you must never lose hope. You don't need health insurance. You don't have to worry about being treated badly. If you just reach out to Nuci's they will point you in the appropriate direction to find the help you need. Linda lost her son to suicide, but it inspired her to start this organization which has saved so many others from a similar fate. We hope that this episode emboldens you to have similar conversations with those you love and/or those who are struggling. Please remember to look for the signs (as mentioned in the episode) and don't hesitate to reach out for help - whether by calling Nuci's, utilizing the new organization Backline, contacting MusiCares, or just seeking the ear of a trusted friend.

This episode Seth and Rob celebrate WinterWonderGrass. This is a crazy-fun, kid-friendly festival of music, beer, winter and culture which this year once again takes place in Colorado, California and Vermont. They first chat with veteran WWG performer Lindsay Lou. She talks briefly about how she met a traditional bluegrass band called The Flatbellys at an "open mic" event, and how they would come to impact her professionally and personally. She also elaborates briefly on how her music has evolved, what it was like to live on the same street as Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, and the beauty of "tea bag wisdom." Lindsay gets particularly effusive talking about the unique beauty of WinterWonderGrass, and how the festival for her conjures fond memories of skating on makeshift rinks when she was growing up in the upper peninsula of Michigan. She loves being protected from mother nature not only by clothing at WinterWonderGrass, but also by the camaraderie and music-love of all of the boisterous attendees. She also talks about how the festival is highly focused on collaboration, offers a quick story about how breathtaking the "gondola sets" can be and even touches on quantum physics. Then we hear Seth talk with Scotty Stoughton, the promoter, musician and music aficionado who created this festival, and we learn how his experience playing traditional festivals inspired his approach toward creating his own, and his particularly "hands-on" attitude. He also explains how promoting shows for over 25 years (and his relationship with musicians like Mark Vann) inspired him to make the core mission of this festival not just to bring forth great music in an amazing setting, but also to build community around these delightfully chilly events. He also admits that he in large part selects the performing artists based on how willing they are to get into the spirit of the festival by mingling in the crowd, and evidencing a "keep playing even if the power goes out" attitude on stage. He talks about how he is comfortable with the current three-venue version of the festival, and that he isn't looking just to expand the festival just for the sake of expanding. He would at this point rather focus on making the experience better every year at the existing locations.

Kebbi Williams joined Seth and Rob in the Diamond Street Studios a few weeks before the 9th Annual Music In The Park festival. Kebbi talks about how he "accidentally" started Music In The Park, and about how it has expanded over the years (MITP has even partnered with Atlanta Food Banks for food giveaway programs). Kebbi also fills us in on this year's festival, which takes place October 18 + 19 at Gordon White Park in Atlanta. Kebbi explains how he first discovered music while being punished by his parents, and he shares some insight on his bands Wolfpack (who are playing MITP) and Whose Hat Is This? He also talks about how his relationship with Branford Marsalis has evolved, and of course shares a few stories from his work with the extremely successful Tedeschi Trucks Band. Kebbi and Quinn Mason also perform two songs as a "telepathic" duo. Remember to Text musicinthepark to 243725 for your chance to win tickets to several different shows (TTB, DMB, etc...).

This episode is a Portland blowout. First, Rob sits down with Taylor Kingman, principal songwriter of the band TK & The Holy Know Nothings. Taylor explains how blowing his voice out at a young age resulted in a burst of writing for him. The band's debut cd is called, Arguably Ok yet it is actually arguably absolutely excellent. Taylor relates the process behind many of these compelling songs, and maps out his view of the band's future. He also talks about how he met Jay Cobb Anderson, and why he and drummer Tyler Thompson are now members both of Fruition and of TK & The Holy Know Nothings. Then Seth and Rob chat with twin sisters Katelyn and Laurie Shook. The Shook Twins explain how they morphed from music enthusiasts to professional touring musicians. The hosts discuss with the twins about how their latest full-length Some Good Lives represents a more eclectic approach for them, and about the singles they have released even more recently. The sisters tell how Bart Budwig's mixing skills kept their sound cohesive even though they were adding soul, funk and even disco flavors to their classic indie-folk sound. The band recorded it in an old brick library in Southeast Portland with the assistance of engineer Justin Phelps and his vintage gear and sonic versatility. We also learn about why their first gigs were in Virginia even though they grew up in Idaho, their songwriting process, why it takes a strong man to date a twin, their love of Bernie, the significance of the golden egg and a bunch more.

Seth and Rob update the listeners on some of the exciting things that are planned for this fall. For example, there are five releases scheduled for October alone. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Seth and Rob update the listeners about some of their recent live music experiences throughout this episode, but the rest is a Seth Fest! Seth first interviews Ronnie McCoury and discusses his work with the legendary Del McCoury Band as well as his own The Travelin' McCourys outfit. They talk about Ronnie's son's 10-piece Jazz/Funk band, the new wave of bluegrass bands, the importance of being musically versatile and many other topics. Ronnie also speaks for the first time publicly about the tragic passing of Jeff Austin. Then Seth has a brief chat with Ziek McCarter of the lively soul/R+B/PsychRock band Con Brio. Ziek talks about how Con Brio is able to take its music across the globe. Ziek speaks of how having enthusiastic fans so far from home inspires them, how they can turn seated audiences into dancing ones, their tour with Galactic, how they keep the creative juices flowing and more. Con Brio will be releasing music and touring this fall with the groundbreaking Asian/American rapper, Lyrics Born.

Neal Casal is an accomplished guitarist whose interesting career has led him from Blackfoot in the late 80s to the singer/songwriter world in the 90s to Ryan Adams in “The Oughts” and then onto Phil Lesh to his current adventurous band Circles Around The Sun. Seth and Rob spoke with him before Circles took the stage at the Terminal West in Atlanta. The conversation starts with a discussion about the unique way this band came together and how the members push each other to continue to reinvent the music in the spontaneous nature it was initially created. We the jump in “the wayback machine” and learn about how this New Jersey kid ended up being the lead guitarist of what many say is the best incarnation of Ryan Adams and The Cardinals. He also elaborates on the organic genesis of the band, Brotherhood (with Chris Robinson) and the raw beauty of the Hard-Working Americans (with Dave Schools and the ever-enigmatic Todd Snider). The show opens with a brief phone conversation featuring Joel Cummins of Umphrey’s McGee. We learn about his new and wildly informative book, “The Realist’s Guide To a Successful Music Career” which he wrote with author/entrepreneur Matt DeCoursey. Joel and Rob walk through just some of the many pieces of music career strategy wisdom that this book offers. It is a “must-read” for anyone seriously contemplating a dive into the business of music. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com CBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

This episode features two separate interviews. The first of these is from when Rob and Seth sat down with Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan of the wildly successful independent band Dispatch just before the band performed at the 2019 Candler Park Festival. Among the many topics discussed are their Boston farewell show which took place over a decade ago and reportedly drew over 150,000, as well as the strikingly raw documentary "The Last Dispatch" which thoroughly documents the build-up to this show and the show itself. The band has recently returned to regular touring and we learn some of the ways each has changed since the band went on hiatus. They also relate how difficult it was to reform the group when they learned that founding member Pete Francis Heimbold was not yet ready to resume the touring lifestyle. We also get a taste of how this fiercely independent band may have at one point come closer to joining a major label than many of its fans knows. The second interview finds Seth speaking with Galactic saxophone ace Ben Ellman. Ben talks about how his life has become more busy with his production work, and the fact that the band has taken on the honor of being the current caretakers of the legendary Tipitina's in New Orleans. Ben breaks down some of his producing work (particularly that with The Revivalists) and warns of the dangers of "Demo-itis." He also compares playing the baritone sax to playing tenor and speaks about the Walter Wolfman Washington solo release that he worked on (and shared the good news that they are apparently at work on another project). Seth and Rob also update each other on some of each of their own goings'-on, as they cut the segments for this episode after having not seen each other for two months. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com CBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

Rob and Seth sit down with the ever-improving 16-year-old guitarist Brandon "Taz" Niederauer and learn how a performance at a Rock n Roll University event at a Mets game ultimately led Niederauer to Ellen DeGeneres, Gregg Allman, Col. Bruce Hampton and other musical luminaries. Brandon speaks of his teammates in his current band, and about how he has stepped up his own songwriting to provide material for the nationally touring act. Brandon talks about how he still gives a great deal of time to his schoolwork and makes sure to maintain his oldest friendships - yet still manages to find "pockets of time" to work on his music. We learn of his hometown of Dix Hills on Long Island in New York, where John Coltrane once lived. Taz expresses surprise to learn that 50 Cent also used to live there. Brandon talks about how his experience at the Roots, Rock, Revival camp found him enjoying quality time with musicians like Butch Trucks and Oteil Burbridge. Brandon proudly talks about his days at the Broadway musical School Of Rock including auditioning for Andrew Lloyd Webber and the day Stevie Nicks visited and collaborated. He also raves about his moments on stage with BB King and Derek Trucks and talks about his days with Col. Bruce Hampton from when George Porter Jr. introduced them until the Col. began his journey to the next dimension at Niederauer's feet. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com CBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

We were very proud to be given the opportunity to interview Bill Nershi of String Cheese Incident, so even though Rob Turner was on assignment in New England, Seth Weiner was able to soldier on and do what is probably his best to-date solo interview (although we are all confused as to what "taking the realm" means). Bill and Seth wasted no time in comparing Fox's. They also spoke about how, like Railroad Earth's Tim Carbone, Bill is a Colorado transplant from New Jersey. Bill elaborates on this, the ever-growing "New Grass" (aka "Jam Grass") scene and how he went from being a fan of Del McCoury to becoming one of his peers. Nershi also speaks of how his days as an aspiring visual artist led to him creating the band's now-familiar "Pagan Swirl" artwork. He lets us into his thoughts about writing and performing with his wife Jill, Jim Lauderdale and Benny Burle Galloway and speaks of the importance of having a representative of the "lyric police" in the room. The joys of bringing forth new songs to the SCI repertoire, and dusting off old ones (SCI had just a short time before this interview performed the "40 Miles To Tulsa" chestnut for the first time in 20 or so years, and this performance is included at the end). Bill also throws some loved toward key people behind the scenes in the SCI family who plan and execute their most elaborate incidents, and gets a tad emotional when talking about his friend/neighbor Jeff Austin who had passed away shortly before this interview. Seth also speaks with Justin Levy of Conscious Alliance and they briefly discuss how his CA harnesses the energy and passion of the music world to feed hungry people of the wider world. Levy talks about how he found his way to serving others for a living, and gives examples of ways that Conscious Alliance encourages people to participate. The episode ends first with Turner talking about his experience traveling to Philadelphia for a weekend-long Bachelor's Party in celebration of his long-time friend Jefferson Waful (who is the Director of Video at CID Entertainment) and then with a soundboard recording of the aforementioned String Cheese Incident bustout rendition of "10 Miles To Tulsa."

Seth and Rob huddle in a corner of Eddie's Attic with Delvon Lamarr, Jimmy James and Keith Laudieri. These three gentlemen make up the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. We learn many things including how these musicians' considerable talent and the savvy of Delvon's manager/wife Amy Novo were each able to help lead the band's first cd Close But No Cigar to debut at an impressive #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Album Charts. This turned the "Soul Jazz" trio into an internationally touring act, and they remain one to this day. Delvon, who is a master of the Hammond B3, explains why he decided to become a frontman, how his past as a drummer influences his approach to his organ work, who his primary influences are and about how important maintaining a sense of melody is to his playing. Jimmie James talks about how his blues past shapes his playing, and about how his and Delvon's wide musical palette combines with a mutually adventurous approach to produce wild improvisation with great regularity. These great musicians also talk about their enormous popularity in Europe, and the jazz audiences there. Laudieri is a Texas drummer who that night would perform publicly with the Lamarr Trio for the first time. He spoke of how he met Delvon in Austin (Delvon and his wife have since relocated from Seattle to Austin) and about what it's like to join a trio in which the other two musicians know each other so well. We also learn of some very cool encounters these fellas had with Sharon Jones, Greg Errico and other amazing heroes of music.

Rob and Seth have a phone chat with one of Umphrey's McGee's managers, Kevin Browning. They first revel in the joy that is the band's new vape pens, Night Nurse and Day Nurse. Kevin talks about how this collaboration between the band and MedPharm came to be, and some of the specifics about each. They then dive into the 15th Anniversary "redux" release of the band's pivotal record, Anchor Drops. Kevin talks about the decision-making process behind the re-release, the difference between the remix and the remaster and even shares some stories related to the songs. The hosts also discuss Jefferson Waful, who is leaving his position as lighting designer, but Browning speaks of his hope that Jefferson will still offer his video brilliance to the band, as evidenced by the "redux" videos he has this year created for every Anchor Drops song. The folks also discuss Umphrey's McGee's future, including their adventurous destination show in Iceland.

Our regular listeners are aware that Col. Bruce Hampton is essentially the Godfather of this podcast. He was our first guest, and has helped us grow in immeasurable ways, some obvious....others not as much. Every year we honor him with his own episode. This year we celebrate his music, and his spirit of shining a light on other musicians. We are featuring his work with another lost musical icon, Vassar Clements. Vassar's 90th birthday was just days before this episode was released.. We have performances from three different years of Thomas "T-Dawg" Helland's Harvest Festival when Vassar sat in with Bruce's Planet Zambi and Codetalkers bands. We also have a snippet of our Larry Keel and Jason Carter interview (recorded at Diamond Street Studios in Atlanta) during which they each discuss Vassar and they offer a duet performance of Vassar's "Paddy On The Turnpike." There are other musical gems as well including portions of Bruce's 2007 visit to the WNCW Studios in Spindale, NC (with his band The Quark Alliance) and the debut of a poem Kevn Kinney wrote in Colonel's honor.
