Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Xoe Wise over Zoom video! Xoe Wise is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer originally from a small town in NC, now based in Chicago. Her releases have spanned from folk to rock, to electronic.Her forthcoming (3rd) release Air features Xoe’s folk repertoire with lush yet intimate horns by Martin Wenk (Calexico, Nada Surf), string and synth arrangements and production by Wise and Minterm.The record includes love songs like “Park too Close” exploring the difficulties of paralleling parking while finding solace in the kindness of your partner. The first single Cross-Eyed Rose” tells an emotional story of wanderlust and finding out that you are not alone. Her debut record Echo was produced by Ethan Stoller and released in 2010 to critical acclaim. Chicago Innerview recognized Wise as “easily the singer/songwriter and pop counterpart to Columbia native Chaz Bundick’s (a.k.a. Toro Y Moi) laconic chill-wave synth ballads.” The Chicago Tribune’s Redeye described her next single “Dear Sendai” as “spiritual.”Wise's sophomore album Archive of Illusions was written on the road with co-producer and friend Matt Ryd in 2011. The record attracted a sold-out crowd to Schubas. TuneCore called the record "new and noteworthy". Xoe has also been seen and heard in Netflix shows such as Sense8, and Showtimes Work in Progress. Wise was also a NPR Newsong finalist.Wise released the Breakfast EP in 2013 and RacecarO in 2015.

Download here This week, it's a preview of this year's Ribfest Chicago, happening June 14-16. The Mazda lands in bucolic Huntley, Illinois for a visit to BBQ King ( 11706 Coral St, Huntley, IL 60142), one of the many fine restaurants participating in Ribfest. It's a full house this week, as I'm joined by BBQ King owner Jason Szmurlo, Ribfest spokesperson Brad Ball and my radio pal/101 WKQX co-worker Eric Kristensen. Discussed on this week's show: We eat way too much food from BBQ King. We're not complaining. The burnt ends are amazing. The burnt ends rub is surprising... perhaps because of the Italian seasoning. We take the burnt ends bareback. We wore our fat pants for the recording. No regrets. The Pretzel Bomb landed BBQ King on terrorist watch lists. We got wet naps delivered right to the car! The music line-up at Ribfest is awesome. You can likely find a mate at Ribfest. Why are men shamed for cargo shorts? Jason and Eric went to high school together, and talk about what they were like back then. Car Con Carne is presented by The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston.
Our brother in sound Tim Virgin from 101WKQX, talks with John Howell about Riot Fest and the lineup, but also touch on working in radio, interviewing a variety of musicians, and more! Check out Tim's show from 3-7PM on 101WKQX.
