    Ivy Insights

    The Mark Stary Music Podcast is a must-listen for any music fan, especially those in the twin cities. Mark Stary's concerted effort to bring exposure to and shine a light on the local music scene is commendable. This podcast provides a platform for local musicians to showcase their talent and share their stories, ultimately helping them gain more recognition and support.

    One of the best aspects of The Mark Stary Music Podcast is the incredible guests that Mark brings on. The interviews are insightful, engaging, and full of great stories. Part 1 of the Don Shelby interview was absolutely mind-blowing. The depth of conversation and the level of comfort between Mark and his guests really shines through, making each episode feel like a genuine conversation among friends. It's refreshing to hear real, authentic voices in a world saturated with superficiality.

    Furthermore, the podcast sounds great and is easy to listen to. The production quality is top-notch, with clear audio and well-balanced levels. The addition of awesome music throughout each episode adds another layer of enjoyment for the listeners. Whether it's showcasing tracks from the guest artists or featuring songs that perfectly complement the topic being discussed, the music selection on this podcast is always on point.

    However, one minor drawback of this podcast is its frequency of release. As a fan, I am always left craving more episodes after listening to each one. Although I understand that producing high-quality content takes time and effort, it would be even more amazing if there were more episodes available regularly. Nonetheless, given the time and dedication put into each episode by Mark Stary himself, I can appreciate that quality comes before quantity.

    In conclusion, The Mark Stary Music Podcast is an exceptional podcast that deserves recognition for its efforts in supporting local talent and promoting great music. From its engaging interviews to its fantastic production quality, every aspect of this podcast contributes to an enjoyable listening experience. I highly recommend this podcast to any music fan, especially those in the twin cities who want to discover and support talented local artists. Keep up the fantastic work, Mark!

    Welcome to this special edition of the Minnesota Music Shakedown. The Twin Cities music scene (and beyond) is morning the loss of a rock n roll legend loved by all, Billy Larson. Billy's Life of the Party concert will be at the Myth Live on Sunday April 7th. Doors at 12:30pm. I've had a podcast interviewing musicians for going on 9 years. Being one of my favorite story tellers, I had tried to get Billy on since the very beginning, but he always dodged me (unless surprising me at a gig saying let's do the interview now, man!) On Nov 5, 2022 after a performance in Breezy Point, mutual friend, Kevin Keen took bass player Brian Johnson and myself to visit Billy at his home since he had been very ill. Although, not making a habit of this, I decided this was my window & I hit record on my iPhone & documented an evening of hangin with Billy as a remembrance for myself & for others. What follows (with some heavy editing for content & permission from Lisa) are some stories and some jamming that I hope helps keep Billy in your mind & in your heart. WARNING: Heavy usage of foul language. Thanks & enjoy!
