Ramblin' Dan Stevens, Musician, and co-organizer of Make Music Old Lyme. Make Music Old Lyme takes place (6/21/24) Friday evening from 5pm-7pm along Lyme Street. Dan is a blues musician who travels across the East Coast (as well as playing in Memphis recently!) while holding down Nightingale's Acoustic Cafe with his wife Gail Stevens. Nightingale's hosts a Tuesday evening Pickin' Party every week where anyone is invited to bring their string instrument and jam with others.

On today's show, guitar legend G.E. Smith and his multi-talented musician wife Taylor Barton discuss songwriting, censorship, divisive politics, gratitude and more; and G.E. shares a funny never-before-told anecdote involving David Bowie. Also, G.E. and Taylor play live versions of 'Crown of Thorns' (produced by Joseph) and 'What if everybody is wrong?' (unreleased) GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: One of the busiest and best-respected guitarists in the music business, G.E. Smith rarely works as a headliner, but as a session musician, sideman, and musical director, he's worked with some of the most prestigious artists in rock and blues - best known for fronting the Saturday Night Live Band from 1985 to 1995; touring with Daryl Hall & John Oates and Bob Dylan (among others); and playing on sessions for artists such as David Bowie, Tom Waits, and Mick Jagger. https://gesmithmusic.com/ GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Taylor Barton is a multi-talented, singer-songwriter, writer, playwright, poet, dancer, and producer. She has spent over three decades traversing the arts and culminated into a 21st century Renaissance woman. Taylor has performed on Conan, Saturday Night Live, VH1, Bravo's Broadway's Best, After Breakfast, Mountain Stage, BET, World Cafe, Acoustic Cafe, WoodSongs, Westwood One Radio, House of Blues Radio, and ABC radio, WFUV, and more. She was a featured artist at the R & R AAA Summit, as well as the CMJ and Gavin conventions. https://taylorbarton.com/  

For this episode, we got to sit down with Joel Mora. If you're from around the Houston area, you most likely know him as the longtime drummer of punk rock stalwarts, The Hates. If you're from around the Galveston area, you know him from Blunderbuss, Red Cap and Worthless Cause. If you're from anywhere in the country, you know him as the owner of the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe, which he and his wife Angela took over in 2018 from the original owner, Rex Bell. Did we mention he started up Old Quarter Records, as well? Joel has been on all sides of the musical landscape and we were happy to sit down with him to discuss life in the independent music world as a musician, fan, label owner and venue owner. This is our longest episode yet, but there was a lot to cover and we're really excited with how it came out! We hope you dig it! Check out upcoming shows at the Old Quarter on their website: https://oldquarteracousticcafe.com/

In the first episode here I sat down with Wrecks Bell, longtime friend and bass player for Townes Van Zandt and resident of Galveston, TX. Wrecks started The Old Quarter in Houston in the mid 60's then re- opened it in Galveston in the Mid 90's. He's got some fantastic stories about the venue, ZZ Top, heroin deals gone bad, and of course Townes Van Zandt. He's a great guy and has been really good to me over the years. In my search for stories about interesting people down on the Gulf Coast, it was obvious for me to start with him. INSTAGRAM TWITTER FACEBOOK YOUTUBE PATREON

Geoff Michael is owner and head engineer of Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor. Geoff has been a cornerstone of the Michigan music scene for over two decades, working with artists such as Joshua Davis, The Great Lakes Myth Society, Dick Siegel, Peter "Madcat" Ruth, Jill Jack, Laith Al-Saadi, Hot Club of Detroit, and Whitey Morgan. Geoff has also recorded hundreds of live, in-studio performances for Michigan Radio's Acoustic Cafe, featuring internationally known stars like Iron & Wine, Suzanne Vega, Death Cab For Cutie and Dar Williams. We talked in March of 2018 in Big Sky's main tracking room, among his collection of beautiful instruments and classic microphones.

Korby Lenker, Megan Slankard, and Alex WongThese three amazing singer/songwriters stopped by CAU on their way to perform at "Space" in Evanston. That was over a year ago and the files were lost, but now found. Check out the Bio on these artists and you can see just how amazing they areKORBY LENKER: Korby Lenker is a sneaky-good songwriter. And singer. And multi-instrumentalist. An abbreviated list of Lenker's achievements so far includes: a significant amount of airplay on the legendary Seattle indie rock station KEXP; a BBC 2 interview with Bob Harris, which is only about the highest honor a rootsy singer-songwriter touring the U.K. can get; opening slots for acts ranging from Willie Nelson to Ray LaMontagne, Nickel Creek, Keith Urban, Susan Tedeschi and Tristan Prettyman; a successful run with one of the hottest young West Coast bluegrass bands of the aughts; and wins in the Merlefest folk songwriting contest as well as the Kerrville Folk Festival's elite New Folk songwriting competition. Lenker's composition "My Little Life" brought him the Kerrville honors this year. It doesn't seem possible that one song could work so well in such disparate worlds, but it also proved its powers as a galvanizing piece of indie-pop, drawing a small army of likeminded, rising Nashville artists and personalities--Jeremy Lister and Katie Herzig to name two--to make lip-syncing, ukulele-strumming cameos in Lenker's music video. MEGAN SLANKARD: "Nearly everyone who encounters this attractive and sophisticated singer-songwriter agrees that she has 'star' written all over her," says Acoustic Guitar Magazine about Megan Slankard. "She forges a distinctive sound with her smooth and courageous vocal dynamics, intelligent and diverse song styles, and sheer infectious enthusiasm." Slankard, who has sold just over 20,000 copies of her three CDs, self-produced her first CD at age eighteen and her third with help from Counting Crow's guitarist Dan Vickrey, and is currently working on a new project. Last year Slankard formed a new alt-rock band, and is already getting industry attention having been selected as a semi-finalist in Discmaker's 2007 Independent Music World Series and a finalist in the 2008 Musician's Atlas/Borders Books Independent Music Awards - even before the official release of her new band's first album, scheduled for mid-2008. Slankard and her music have appeared on TLC's "What Not To Wear", generating purchases by TV viewers after her first appearance that placed her second CD "Freaky Little Story" on the 5 spot on Amazon.com CD sales charts and on the Top-10 Rock Bestseller list on CDBaby.com. Because of the episode's popularity, the show's producers featured her in a follow-up episode, bringing her back onto the Top-10 with "Freaky Little Story". Upon its release months later, "A Little Extra Sun" also reached the Top-10 sales chart. Her songs have also earned over 175,000 plays on MySpace.com, and "Freaky Little Story" remains a Top-20 all time Rock Bestseller on CDBaby.com to this day. Slankard's music has also been featured on San Francisco AAA station KFOG's compilation CD and has been spun over 500 times on Modesto, CA. She has been featured in Rockgrl Magazine, Owl Magazine, The Synthesis, and online sources Fresh Tracks and Women In Rock, in addition to Acoustic Guitar magazine, whose editors named "Freaky Little Story" one of their top albums of 2005. She was a final selection artist for RPM Direct Presents: Unsigned Artists Volume 3 compilation CD; an A&R Online featured artist; a Song and Film Spotlight artist; and, an Acoustic Cafe featured artist on the "One to Watch" syndicated radio program (sponsored by the USA Songwriting Competition). Slankard also co-wrote and performed on the title track of Dire Straits founding member David Knopfler's new record, "Ship of Dreams". Megan has performed in over 200 cities in five different countries, including at showcases in Boston (NEMO) and Toronto (NXNE), on three tours as support for David Knopfler (Germany and England), and at the international festival InGuitar in Zurich (Switzerland). She will resume touring after the completion of the new CD. ALEX WONG: Alex Wong is a Brooklyn-based producer, writer and performer whose signature sonic style resonates in all he creates-from cinematic pop soundscapes to electronic tinged theater scores to his honest, direct songwriting. He has produced recordings with leading artists such as Delta Rae, Ari Hest, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Melissa Ferrick, Vienna Teng and Grammy nominee Ximena Sarinana. Alex has garnered critical acclaim for his songwriting collaborations with recording artists Amber Rubarth (The Paper Raincoat), Vienna Teng, Paul Freeman, Elizabeth and the Catapult and Alex Berger (Independent Music Award winner). His songwriting has been heard in film and television projects such as "The Last Song" (Disney/Touchstone), "One Tree Hill," and "The Lincoln Lawyer" (Lion's Gate). His solo project, A City On A Lake, is releasing it's debut self-titled album (featuring vocal performances from Ari Hest and Ximena Sarinana) was released in 2012.Click to view all four videos from this Podcast

New Year's Day 2012 Speaker: Kyle Labadie

This material was recorded and mixed live by Marvin Cable at the Acoustic Cafe late Spring 2007. The jam selected wasn't chosen by normal criteria that one would use to chose music for broadcast purposes. The jam was chosen because it had a sweet vibe. Enjoy!
