"Lord Have Mercy" we exclaimed after this duo graced our studio. These two singer/songwriters made us laugh and amazed us with their harmonies; songs and stories abound! Elisa & Bonnie have been playing the circuit together for about 10 years and have multiple projects both together and individually. Elisa came in studio slinging a guitar with "battle wounds.” This in itself was one of the most amazing stories! It turned out Garth Brooks himself gifted this to her. Erin fiddled and laughed her way into our hearts. She amazed us with her talent and her interesting side projects, so check her out at @erinbonniemusic. Great podcast, great people (Elisa Smith Erin Bonnie) and great music. Listen in and check out the three songs and share with all your friends.

"Lord Have Mercy"!! This duo gels like no other ! M&B was graced to have these 2 incredible singer / songwriters in studio with us. We may have laughed more than anything, but we did get some great back stories or lack there of for some of the music. Elisa & Bonnie have been playing the circuit together for about 10 years and also have numerous other projects rolling with or without each other. Elisa came in studio slinging a guitar with "battle wounds" beyond comprehension. This in itself was one of the most amazing stories! It turned out Garth Brooks himself gifted this to her. What a surreal story she tells us about that event. Erin, walked in, lit up the room and giggled galore in between showing off her unprecedented fiddle skills and background vocals.

Author, journalist, music critic Jim Sullivan joined us about his new book "Backstage & Beyond Vol. 2: 45 Years of Classic Rock Chats & Rants. This is a follow up to his volume 1 edition. The difference between the two comes down to a split between eras. Volume 1 covers Classic Rock from the '50s and 60s. Vol 2 picks up where that one leaves off covering the '70s '80s and '90s. Twenty-one of them are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Jim Sullivan — a 2023 inductee into the New England Music Hall of Fame — spent 26 years writing for the Boston Globe and two decades more writing for national publications. He has interviewed and reviewed countless musicians, many of them multiple times. Access to such A-list stars is hard to come by in the first place, but Sullivan got to know many of them well enough to engage on a far more intimate level than journalists usually can or do.Rather than simply collect up previously published articles as they originally appeared, Sullivan combed through his archive to find everything he wrote about each artist and worked them together into a more expansive time-passages view that chronicles their changing situations, outlooks and experiences. Backstage & Beyond Volume 1 includes fascinating, entertaining and occasionally hair-raising profiles of Jerry Lee Lewis, Ian Hunter & Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Nico, Brian Eno, Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music, Robert Fripp & King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Warren Zevon, Pete Townshend, Ray Davies & the Kinks, Dave Davies, Ginger Baker, Leonard Cohen, Marianne Faithfull, John Fogerty, Tina Turner, Neil Young, Richard Thompson, Darlene Love, Alice Cooper, Peter Wolf & the J. Geils Band, Joe Perry & Aerosmith, Lemmy & Motörhead, George Clinton, Tangerine Dream, Joan Baez, k.d lang and Roy Orbison. Backstage & Beyond Volume 2, his music-writing anthology, focuses on artists who came to prominence in the 1970s and '80s: punk, new wave, post-punk and beyond. Eleven of them are already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Chapters on: The Ramones, The Sex Pistols / Public Image Ltd., The Clash, Patti Smith, Buzzcocks, The Damned, The Fall, Joy Division / New Order, The Cure, Stiff Little Fingers, Gang of Four, The Pogues, The Police, The Cramps, David Byrne / Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, The Cars, English Beat, Morrissey, Pixies, Mission of Burma, Feelies, Puff Daddy, Spiritualized, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Swans and U2.For more information about the Musicians and Beyond Podcast with hosts Mark Lawhorne and John Surabian visit ⁠www.musiciansandbeyond.com⁠.

2 Million streams! When you listen to her creations, you will know why. John and Mark gained a new friend today in there enlightening conversation with the amazing Anastasia Elliot. Anastasia went to Nashville 15 years ago for a month to write songs and release her creative flow,.... and never came home! This multi talented singer / songwriter also commands the stage with her showmansship and her eclectic homemade costumes. No 2 shows are alike and Anastasia like to challenge and stump her listeners by hiding "Easter eggs" through out her pieces. Her newly released album is now available and is strategically formatted to tell a story. Anastasias dog "Nala" even had some things to tell our listeners. The stories were captivating and educational. One back story tells of her writings of "Crash Landing" which had endless interpretations but only 2 months later had a definite message after she found herself in a life and death situation when the Northwest flight she was on landed wrong and skidded down the runway bursting into flames, she truly survived a "Crash Landing". Follow her and buy some of her extensive swag.
