Gab & Jam Episode 60 Tapsongz.com Video Description This episode is in response to a series of questions sent to us by Eric Rustad from TapSongz @TapSongz www.tapsongz.com . We are going to be featured in his music blog and we thought we’d piggyback on that opportunity by sharing what we shared with him with you. (If you prefer to listen to the podcast, click here: ) Takeaways: • We are a machine. And we do ALL the things (add in Ye Chen link). • We are a band (Bourgeoisie Paper Jam). But since we are a music production company, we are several artists, including bassist Tony Webb, experimental/alternative group The Prejippies, as well as former incarnations of a house music diva Jezebel and a techno group Synthetic Living Organism. • Here is a guest post that tells more of our story: http://bit.ly/2Lshana Overflowing with creativity: • Song a week challenge (follow us on social media to hear weekly clips/songs) • Honey-dipped Acoustic Set (special promotion for Record Store Day; CD release; available after June 1, 2019) • Featured songs are from our “Higher Up. Deeper In.” album (https://apple.co/2YDEeF8 ). Here are the questions we answered for the interview: 1. Where are you from? 2. When did you first begin pursuing music? 3. Who were your favorite artists growing up? 4. What is your latest project that you released? Explain how it all came together. 5. Who is your favorite artist that you have seen live? Why were they so good? 6. Do you have plans to tour in 2019? Where are your favorite cities to perform? 7. What are your goals heading into 2019? Tour? New projects? Relax? 8. If there was one artist you could collaborate with who would it be and why? 9. How do you think the music industry has shifted over the last several years? Explain the pros and cons and how it impacts artists. 10. Is there anything else unique or interesting about yourself that we should include in the feature article?

Show # 117 Originally broadcast live on September 20, 2018 from the storefront of Kinfolk 90 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. Broadcast live on WAXX.fm. (Sorry about the technical difficulties including the sound during the Meridian Lights acoustic performance. Because of the nature of raw radio inside the bar, there was no soundcheck. Also the effect on Bradley's mic should have been reverb, not the phaser-like effect you hear; it was mislabeled on our console and didn't sound like that in the room. Other than that, it still sounds good and the music is great!)

You've probably heard that Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have been playing some wonderful 'duo' shows together this month.. while I'm still contemplating playing one of the audience tapes of one of these gems, I decided to bring you another 'Phil & Friends' acoustic show that started the genre - this took place back on September 24th, 1994 at the Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley CA, a benefit for music in the local schools. It was of course the last 'acoustic' Dead performance, and for the most part is quite sweet and wonderful to hear. I hope you enjoy this performance, and I do envy those of you lucky enough to see Phil & Bob this tour!
