Red Wanting Blue met us for “Linner” at a small restaurant in Akron Ohio, to promote their album “Little America.” In the early 2000’s we visited the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio and watched this dynamic rock band just own the stage and the crowd. We were late to the RWB table finding out later about songs like “Playlist,” and although we hadn’t heard any of Red Wanting Blue’s music, their commanding performance, emotive baritone vocals, and stage charisma impressed us none the less. You won’t meet a nicer bunch of well-adjusted rock n rollers which allows them musically to showcase their lyrics and vocals, which they say is a feature their fans like most about their music; however, there are no slouches or inflatable auto-players in this band. My high school band director said something that has stuck with me: “The most musical moments sometimes happen during a rest in the music.” You would know instantly if some of the nearly subliminal guitar melodies and embellishments were removed from the Red Wanting Blue sound-profile, and just the same, while Mark and Dean are not out front; you want solid players like those guys driving the rhythm chassis of your music. Scott Terry has one of those giant voices that has it’s own gravity, and while as a person he shows no sign of megalomania or rock-star ego; it’s impossible to ignore how much of their music revolves around his rich gritty vocals and relate-able lyrics. They’re a great band to see live. Make sure you check them out on facebook or their website to see when they’re playing near you. Special thanks to RWB drummer Dean Anshutz, Josh Bloom, and Sam Buonavolonta from SAM GOODWILL for pulling the strings to make this interview happen. Thank you to all of the guys from Red Wanting Blue for being easy-going and down to earth. In light of Waterloo Restaurant being unaware of the audio aspect of podcast interviews, I would still like to thank the staff for being so accommodating. The recording came out pretty good all things considered. We did ask for a quiet spot in the back but I think they thought we wanted the table closest to the silverware utensil dump-bin. Family restaurant diners are just not the ideal podcast studios they once were. ;) Listen to the entire WTF with Marc Maron / Billy Gibbons interview at WTFpod.com Scott Terry – vocals, tenor guitar, ukulele Mark McCullough – bass, chapman stick, vocals Greg Rahm – guitar, keyboards, vocals Eric Hall – guitar, lap steel, vocals Dean Anshutz – drums & percussion

REVERB NATION BIO Led by singer-songwriter Scott Terry, Red Wanting Blue is proudly based in Columbus, Ohio, but might as well be America's local band. For years, the group had been hiding in plain sight as Terry went about logging thousands of miles on the road throughout the nation's heartland, making fans the hard way - one at a time. With only the aid of word of mouth, hard work and perseverance, Red Wanting Blue has established an exceedingly loyal following in and around the Midwest where the band regularly fills clubs normally reserved for bigger names. Terry's passionate and poetic songs, anchored by his powerful baritone, are the kind of tunes that could only have been written by a man who has lived this kind of life on the road. It's these songs and Terry's moving delivery of them that knocks 'em dead, but leaves 'em talking. Most importantly, it keeps 'em coming back for more. Traveling with Terry are band mates Mark McCullough (Bass Guitar, Vocals), Greg Rahm (Keys, Guitars, Organ, Vocals), Eric Hall Jr. (Guitars, Lap Steel, Mandolin, Banjo, Vocals) and Dean Anshutz (Drums, Percussion, Glockenspiel), who together build the unshakable rock powerhouse that has helped bring Red Wanting Blue to nationwide attention after all of this time. - (Taken from Reverb Nation) http://www.redwantingblue.com More interviews and videos at http://www.Jimmyfro.com

American Authors vocalist Zac Barnett takes time to call in to the show and update us on what's new with the band. Although there was a weird echo with the phone recording, it was a great conversation about their DIY video shoots and their growing popularity with "Best Day of My Life' climbing the billboard charts and being used by the PGA, TV sitcoms, and several movie trailers coming out of Hollywood. Enjoy! More interviews and music features at www.Jimmyfro.com

Although Sean Moeller has a soft spot for barns and horses, he’s no “Iowa Farm Boy.” The man behind Daytrotter is a bearded ex-track star and ex-sports writer from the University of Iowa, who in addition to being a well mannered family man, happens to have a knack for looking into the eyes of a song, wielding his crafty word-sword, and writing incredibly colorful essays about the songs and artists from around the world who pass through the Daytrotter studio. Sean is a down to earth dude who doesn’t take himself or his talent for writing too seriously. He is a living example of his own philosophy about rock stars and famous people..telling me during the interview, he realized early that “they’re just people.” He’s just a person that sits down at the table and has breakfast with his kids, grabs a coffee, and heads out to Rock Island to record potentially the next Foster The People, Dallas Green, Charlie Pride or Naughty By Nature. It’s impossible to write about Sean Moeller without writing about Daytrotter, and that’s not discounting the man.. or the person he is, but to the contrary.. one can attribute the success of Daytrotter to Sean’s loyalty to his vision and poise; even in the presence of musical greatness. Phil, Pat Stolley, Mike Gentry and the entire team, in conjunction with Sean’s high standards that have been baked into the machine that is the Horseshack Studio; all work together in concert to sustain what we know to be the appealing web presence of Daytrotter.com. …”The thing I went to school for was to be a writer.. it’s always been my first love, so I always knew that I still wanted to write; but I wanted to write about what I wanted to write about, instead of being told..what to write about. Obviously music is a big gigantic passion of mine and it would be nice to do both.” - Sean Moeller I bet if you cornered Sean or any die-hard fan of music, you could get them to admit that music was their first love. Music is stirring and like a sensory time capsule, it carves its initials into the tree of our childhood and teen years; with each listen of our favorite song and favorite album.. dropping melodic memory bread-crumbs that today lead us back to the mile-markers of growing up. I remember being 15 making my first mix-tape; fast forward..stop..fast forward, playing and listening carefully.. auditioning every song before deeming it worthy of adding it to the carefully compiled compilation and passing it to a friend on the bus after school. Sure, once in a while you stumble on a complete album that is solid all the way through like a Pink Floyd “Animals,” “The White Album” “Purple Rain” or Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” but more often than not, lovers of music enjoy using our own sonic-art taste gauge developed over the years in our messy bedroom laboratory, to pick the cherries we like to hear, collect, and share. In 2006 I was searching online for music that would be suitable for my summer mix-tape CD and when doing a search for the band Limbeck, my eyes tripped on this website titled Daytrotter.com. The first thing I remember noticing is the hand-drawn cartoon illustrations of the bands, and I believe one of those bands was Dressy Bessy. In addition to providing recordings of live sessions featuring original songs, Daytrotter’s Johnnie Cluney, with every session, draws up illustrations or cartoon drawings of the band members which really brands the Daytrotter product and makes for an authentic bundle warranting at least… 1000+ Fonzi Points. Finding Sean Moeller’s Daytrotter.com was exciting because it was like casting out your Google-rod and reeling in exactly the fish you were hoping to catch. I started downloading every single session and making my own Best of Daytrotter September, October, Daytrotter Summer 07, Daytrotter IKEA Road-Trip Mix, etc. I can recall emailing daytrotter, feeling grateful, explaining that I couldn’t find the donation link and asking them how I can donate. I believe it was Sean Moeller who wrote me back and the email read something to the effect: We don’t really ask for donations but if you want to donate.. you can. It’s been interesting watching little Daytrotter grow into this big popular cult-source for new music and binary audio showcase for the classic artists of yesteryear. In our travels at SXSW, bands commonly reference Daytrotter and in my experience, you don’t find too many artists who haven’t done a daytrotter session or at least have a session scheduled. Sean, being a loyal Alabama fan, doesn’t like his taste in music to be limited to “indie” music, and we have a good exchange about the selective music fan/hipster conflation. Sean explains in the interview “I like all music.” “If there’s a leaning in Daytrotter towards indie music, it’s simply because indie-bands tour the most. They tour the most.. they get into a van and they drive around. ” It’s not that unusual to find a session by a Country artist or a Hip Hop Rap act, but Daytrotter, having a substantial leaning towards textbook “indie” bands, has functioned as a hunter-gatherer of appealing unusual independent music; making it easier for music junkies with eclectic taste to compile enough mixtapes to last 99 lifetimes. Daytrotter.com offers a feature for members to cherry pick their favorite session tracks and compile a virtual mixtape on line, signified by an old school cassette illustration. I continue to reference mixtapes because Daytrotter allows the 8th grade concert T-wearing nerd in all of us..to live on, and I think Sean comes from that nostalgic place and shares the spirit of that adolescent sentiment. Daytrotter fills the shoes of both the BMG Cassette Club and Hit Parader magazine, facilitating a pipeline for the consumption of new bands and new sounds bundled with all the juicy details about the weird bass player or the inspiration behind your favorite song lyric. Daytrotter also uploads their session recordings at 320kb which is very appealing to the modern day audiophile. It’s my feeling that Daytrotter is still.. merely a device to connect Sean to great music and to continue to recreate opportunities to write about what he wants to write about, and the pay-for membership is merely a device to pay the bills and continue introducing great music to the world. Much of Daytrotter comes from a place of a sentiment for vintage times and vintage things. He has a vinyl heart and I look at Daytrotter.com just as I would a friendly gesture; a regenerative artesian mixtape that Sean Moeller and the Daytrotter crew pass to me every day, on the bus of the world wide web. – jm www.daytrotter.com SESSIONS at http://www.daytrotter.com My Brightest Diamond Dawes Pearl and The Beard William Elliot Whitmore
