There are so many great apocryphal stories in the long history of classical music, from the reason Tchaikovsky wrote his Sixth Symphony to what famous composers supposedly said on their deathbeds, to my favorite story: how Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 96, The Miracle, got its name. Apparently, during the premiere of the symphony, a chandelier fell, but miraculously didn't hit anyone. Hence, The Miracle Symphony. The chandelier did, in fact, fall, but we now know it happened during the premiere of Haydn's Symphony No. 102, which has no nickname. Coincidentally, or perhaps not so coincidentally, the 96th Symphony is performed far more often than the 102nd, likely because of its nickname, even though it's the nickname of the wrong symphony. The Barber Violin Concerto has a great and true story behind it. But before certain information was revealed in 2010, the story everyone knew was quite different. The original version goes like this: Barber had completed the first two movements of his Violin Concerto and sent them to the soloist scheduled to premiere the work, Iso Briselli. Briselli didn't like the concerto, claiming it wasn't virtuosic enough, and asked Barber to write something more difficult. Barber, perhaps with an evil laugh, obliged and returned with the third movement. When Briselli received it, he realized he couldn't play it because of its extreme difficulty and ultimately withdrew from the premiere, which instead went to violinist Albert Spalding. It's a perfect “Icarus flying too close to the sun” kind of classical music story, but as it turns out, it isn't the full story. In 2010, letters were released between Barber, Briselli, and the real instigator in this little operetta, Briselli's violin teacher, Albert Meiff. I'll get into the whole story later, but it's a good one, even if it's not quite as cinematic as the legend. More important than the dispute over its last movement is the remarkable beauty and creativity of this masterful 20th-century concerto. Barber's Violin Concerto is one of my favorite pieces to play and to conduct, and it has charmed audiences ever since its premiere. It features Americana music of a kind only Copland could equal, as well as a heartbreaking oboe solo that might be one of the greatest moments in the history of American classical music. And then there's that pesky third movement, a challenge to every violinist (and orchestra) and a movement that remains controversial for many reasons.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 4, 2025 is: repertoire • REP-er-twahr • noun Repertoire typically refers to a list or supply of plays, songs, dances, etc. that a company or person is prepared to perform,. Repertoire may also refer to a supply of skills or devices, or more broadly to an amount or supply. // The band's repertoire includes both classic and modern jazz. // The couple enrolled in a cooking class to expand their culinary repertoire. // His fashion repertoire includes a rotation of vibrant floral tops. See the entry > Examples: "[Rebecca] Roudman is best known as the frontwoman for Dirty Cello, a hard-working band that has honed a rollicking repertoire of rock anthems, bluegrass standards and Americana originals." — Andrew Gilbert, The Mercury News (San Jose, California), 21 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The Late Latin noun repertorium, meaning "list," has given English two words related to the broad range of things that someone or something can do. One is repertory, perhaps most commonly known as a word for a company that presents several different plays, operas, or other works at one theater, as well as the theater where such works are performed. Repertoire, which comes from repertorium via French, once meant the same thing as repertory but later came to refer to the works a company performs, or, in extended use, to a range of skills that a person has, such as the different pitches a baseball pitcher can throw or the particular dishes that are a chef's specialty.

Through his work in Uncle Tupelo and Wilco, Jeff Tweedy has played a significant role in the shaping of Americana and alternative rock since the early 90’s. The title of Uncle Tupelo’s highly influential first album, No Depression, both spawned a resurgence in music more widely described as “Americana,” as well as gave it its name. Later in his career, Tweedy and Wilco collaborated with Billy Bragg on the Mermaid Avenue records that featured lost lyrics by Woody Guthrie, released the groundbreaking album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and put a total of 12 band and four solo records, four books, and helped establish the bi-annual Solid Sound Festival in western Massachusetts. Hear how how songs by Meat Puppets, Neil Young, and Blondie charted his musical course. Tweedy’s newest work, a triple record titled Twilight Override, was released on September 26, 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This essay explores the creation of my first released music album, Still I Am, and the fictional artist who carries it: Roxy Vale.But before diving into the music, I want to share the creative process and why I approached it this way.The first music album I created was not Still I Am. It was actually Through the Glass Daisy.Through the Glass Daisy is an album pulled directly from the pages of my upcoming series of novels, “Daisy Chain.” It is an album by a band called “Glass Daisy.” It is part of the world creation and lore in the books, which explore many aspects of our reality creation through the experiences of a reluctant time traveler. And yes, the main character is a fan of “Glass Daisy.”Still I Am, however, is an album that is most directly related to the experiences of the “WE” entering and existing in the physical universe. It is a completely different voice from Glass Daisy.Entering as a soul into a physical experience is a journey that's relatable to most souls, especially those who are here to help humanity return to the light.It is this group that I am interested in, the group that is here to assist the people of Earth in stepping back into the light.Yes, you.OK, let's begin with Roxy Vale and Still I Am.One of the issues with the WE viewpoint is that whenever I bring it to the forefront of my awareness, it seems to turn other people's minds and personalities into an unstructured and universally expanded mush (technical term) that sometimes cannot contain even the smallest amount of intellectual clarity. If I solely concentrate on my expression as a singular person, Inelia, all is usually mostly fine. There is mush involved, but at manageable amounts. There really is no difference between the “me” and the WE except at the level of frequency and band of expression, which admittedly is a lot of difference.After creating the first album, Through the Glass Daisy, which is based on the character's journey through time within a complex structure of light/dark as the WE would see it, I thought maybe we could jump through the illusion of singular expression and create songs based directly on the WE writings that would bypass the reader's “mind mush” response and go directly into one of understanding. The WE have a bunch of articles where we express our journey through humanity's temple.I ran the first WE article through a text-processing AI with the instructions to make a song out of it.The first output was a list of possible titles; there were many. I asked, “What would the human collective of Earth want and understand?” The AI, being a gestalt of the human collective's digital expression, is in a very good position to come up with an accurate answer, and it suggested a few items.However, we have to be aware that it scans the internet for answers, and the internet is a light/dark place. Ultimately, although it can come up with possibilities, the answer has to be one we take ourselves.I decided that I would simply tell the AI what paragraph or point in the article I wanted the song to be about, and it was able to come up with several reasonably good songs. Mostly, though, they missed the point, but they did contain the structure of popular songs. I soon realized that for the WE expression, we also needed a particular voice, as song structure is very dependent on genre.As I scanned the human collective for a voice, I realized that I wanted a voice that one day I might be able to express myself in. In other words, a voice that sang in a way I could sing. I had to make some decisions at this point. Looking back at my own life, I saw that the songs I loved and was able to sing with no problem were from Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, and Freddie Mercury.“What would a female singer sound like if Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury had a baby?” I asked the AI.Several hours later, I had a good grasp of what I wanted to express. I did a test run and made Larry listen to it. “I don't understand what it is; it's not rock, or country, or pop… it's confusing,” he said.At that moment I realized that not only did the voice need to express what I wanted, but it needed to be boxed into a genre.That is how Roxy became a Soul Rock singer, with Americana overtones. Unlike Glass Daisy's lead singer, who is 20 years old and clearly an Ethereal Pop singer, I wanted Roxy to be an adult with a very broad range of tones and styles of singing. And thus the character began to evolve. She is not stuck in Soul Rock and will explore other sounds, including Native songs in different areas of the world. She spends a lot of time playing with her voice and expressions.I wanted her as close to my own voice, personality, and story as I could possibly get without breaking the energy of her as the lovechild of Tina and Freddie - two musical heroes of my life. And at the same time, she had more WE expression than she does of my singular expression, Inelia.Her creation has since cascaded into several other artist personas singing in different genres, styles, and voices (both male and female). But those stories and their characters are for a different essay.Back to Roxy.Once I had her voice and proximity to a genre, I pulled all the WE articles through the AI to get different song structures and ideas.The song-creation process is multi-layered. It didn't take long for me to realize that both text-generation AI and music-generation AI have huge limitations at the moment. They are good instruments for a creator but cannot give back what a person wants 100% with prompts. If anything, the more complex the prompt, the more sideways the AI goes. Long and complex prompts confuse the AI.A cycle began: I would teach the text generator AI what the music generator AI would accept. Then I would tell the text AI what I wanted the music one to do, and it would create a prompt as short as possible to express it in AI language. This method lasts about three times before the text generator forgets the parameters of the other AI and has to be “restarted.”The songs I have in mind have a particular key, a key progression, and a definite structure of delivery. Very early in the process I realized that I had to create some of the sounds myself - a phone ringing, a native drum sound, a succession of keys on a violin or piano - all things that the AI could not understand.Still, to me the process of using these two tools - the text generator and the music generator - was like a heavy chain lifted from my neck. I was now free to create music in a frequency and speed that was not limited by people's egos, monetary concerns (sound studios are expensive to use), or limitations on the sounds of my own voice (naturally feminine and melodic).The process of learning is continuous, and the AI slowly learns (then forgets) what I like. The AI engines are being improved continuously, which brings about the possibility of expansion in the future.One thing I did not like about the music generator is that it has a very narrow band of voice sounds, and most of its songs and “artists” sound the same. The other aspect is that after I create a song with a very unique sound, I see the AI using it for other people's creations. I have heard my words and songs revamped in other users' songs even though I have not published any of my songs to be remixed or listened to on the music AI website - a unique voice no longer unique, for example, and some of my lyrics and tunes underlying other people's songs.If I read the user contract, there will probably be a line somewhere that says that the AI can reuse and learn from whatever I create.I had to process my annoyance because, to tell you the truth, my stuff is very high-frequency, and if it is being used by the AI to create music for other people, then that high-frequency is being propagated through the world. Win-win.The rest of the annoyance is all ego. Now my songs and lyrics are no longer unique. Oh dear.OK, I have given you a summary of Roxy Vale's creation, a summary of my work process using AI. With that done, let's go to the meat and potatoes of this essay.With the groundwork set, we can finally explore the heart of the album itself.Let's now talk about the album Still I Am.There is no better way to discuss this album than by looking at the lyrics in each song. I will post three of the eight songs here, and on our podcast Driving To The Rez, you can hear Larry and me going into great detail about them, as well as listening to the songs themselves. If you don't want to wait, you can get the songs at ineliarecords.com.The first song is called “Bananas and Wind”. Bananas and Wind is a funny one because it explains the experience of communicating with the people of Earth. It is a direct reference to how most direct communication between the WE and people ends up talking about bananas. Bananas came in when trying to describe what the conversation looked like from the perspective of the WE.For example, if talking about the planet Mars, the questions would be like “are there bananas on Mars? If so, what color are they? What do they taste like? How big are they?” Or, if talking about the infinite possibilities of timelines, “are bananas the same color in all timelines?” This song also talks about how when asked a question, a full on translation was needed before the WE could understand what was being asked. And even then, the answer might be so far out of the realm of what a person can conceive that further translation was then needed to explore what the WE said. To be clear, the Bananas are humorous metaphors for the things monkey boys and girls find interesting.Here are the lyrics for “Bananas and Wind”:“Bananas and Wind”You ask me questions shaped like treesI answer back in falling leavesWe talk in circles, fields and soundBut somehow always turn around.You speak in warmth, I speak in airYour stories land, but I'm not thereStill I listen, still I tryTo catch the wind beneath your sky.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.I hold the house, the floor, the stoneThe moss that grows, the branch aloneBut when you look, you see your faceReflected back from every place.I don't judge what's high or lowIt's just the way awareness flowsStill I wonder, still I seeHow hard it is to just let be.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.We laugh, we watch, we dance, we fallYour world's so big, your world's so smallI'm here to learn, not to believeI listen more than you perceive.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, still don't know whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.Bananas… and wind…Still singing along…Don't forget, if you are only reading this, on our podcast Driving To The Rez we will discuss the lyrics further and play the music for you to sing along to :)The next song I am going to share with you is about the experience of the WE of finding a physical universe in the endless possibility of existence:“Dot on the Wall”I didn't see it at first - that tiny markHiding quiet in the darkA dot upon a painted wallBut it changed everything, after all.The ocean spoke, the sand repliedThe sky was laughing all the whileAnd you walked where I could seeFor the first time, you noticed me.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be..They took a grain, they took a pieceThought they owned the earth and seasBut we were more than they could holdA thousand stories left untold.We are the waves, we are the stoneWe are together, never aloneOne moment breaks, and there we areThe space between becomes a star.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.Planets spin and oceans talkEvery grain of sand can walkDoors appear and doors dissolveStill we rise, still we evolve.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.First dot on the wall…First step, first call…Now we see…The feeling is very much like that of a sudden dot appearing on a wall that did not have a dot there before. And when you look at it, the dot seemed to have been there since the wall was built.When this happens, we often tell ourselves all sorts of stories about why we had not seen the dot before. But, as it “becomes,” it has always “been.”That is how the physical universe appeared to the WE. One moment it was not there; the next it was - and always had been. Of course, the WE then had to go investigate this dot.The third song of the eight tracks in the album I want to share with you is called “We Are The Sand”“We Are The Sand”We were the sand, golden and wideDancing with oceans, moving with tidesShining and soft, talking for yearsLaughing with water, shedding no tears.We weren't in a hurry, we weren't making plansJust shimmering softly in crystalline bandsMillions of lifetimes beneath the sunWe were the sand, and we were having fun.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.One summer day something landed nearBig, hard, metallic, a little unclearHumans in suits, walking aroundScooping up pieces of sky and ground.They couldn't hear us, they couldn't seeHow much we giggled, how wild we could beThey took us with them, to somewhere newBut we were the sand, and they never knew.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.Multiplicity in every grainOceans whisper and skies explainFeathers and forests, bodies and handsWe are, we are, and we understand.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sandWe were the sand, and we still areCarried by oceans, cradled by starsIn laughter, in silence, in grains so grandWe were the sand… we are the sand…This song explains the experience remembered of the first time the WE (me) encountered human beings. It happens in a time far into what humans might consider the future. As time is simply the interpretation of movements of solidity through space, this experience could be said to have happened in the distant past also. When speaking of solidity, just a reminder here that thoughts, waves, or energy in any form are considered solid by the WE.I hope you enjoy the music, and enjoy our discussion of the meaning behind the lyrics. As a matter of interest, all my created artists are expressing experience and wisdom learned as WE live as Inelia. Many of these experiences are deeply felt by individuals who have gone through the veil to enter into physical life.One of the thoughts that often crosses my mind is how unique we all are on Earth, and yet how the experience of entering a light/dark containment can echo in strikingly similar ways for light-beings everywhere. By recognizing and sharing these echoes, the hold they once had over us dissolves - leaving us with the power to rise, together, into something brighter.In sharing our journeys, we shatter the illusion created by darkness - and together we embody the light.

Many of his songs have at least references to people or places around the state, but they serve as devices to tell a narrative rather than promote Wisconsin outright. It's just what he knows through his life experiences and observations, so he weaves these elements into his thoughtful lyrics. His 2025 release, Hall of Mirrors, is an album that is influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and John Prine with a sound not unlike albums produced by Daniel Lanois.

Rodeo clowns. Radiohead. Room 105. Welcome to Lakeside, CA—population: weird. Host Billy Merritt welcomes ER doctor–turned–improviser Devlyn Corrigan, who takes us on a tour of his dusty hometown: Lakeside, California. What starts as a stroll down Main Street quickly gallops into full-blown rodeo madness, local teen drama, and a possibly haunted motel room. Then, the Podcast Town players transform this dusty slice of Americana into a fully improvised audio fever dream, featuring:

The days are getting darker both by season and on the sidewalks of your town. Jackboot thugs with masks, clubs, and weapons are descending for you. Make no mistake. If you believe in your right to free speech and all that our Constitution affords you, think again. Know that you and your neighbor are in the crosshairs of this regime. This week's show won't break the spell but it will share with its language of comfort, joy and hope that music delivers as it stimulates the release of dopamine triggering pleasure and relaxation. Our prescription this morning is a compound of a free form eclectic blend that delivers a response from all corners. America's music has always been built on a foundation of free expression so why not make the best…and that's what we'll be doing this morning with tracks from Glenn Miller, Charlie Christian, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Randy Newman and Dean Martin, just to name a few. Dream when you're feeling blue. Rise up when you're being pushed down. This week's show takes us where we want to go.

What if fewer mics could help you make better records? Alan Evans (Soulive) joins me to talk 4-track recording, Iceland sessions, AI in music, and how simplicity, mindset, and health can fuel your best creative work.   Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Alan Evans, a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, producer, and musician based in Western Massachusetts. Alan's probably best known as the drummer and co-founder of Soulive, but over the past 30 years, he's also built a deep discography engineering, producing, and shaping the sound of hundreds of recordings. He grew up in a musically rich household in Buffalo, NY, soaking in the sounds of Miles Davis, Ray Charles, and Jimi Hendrix which ignited his interest in music. As a teenager, he hit the clubs and started recording bands, teaching himself the craft of recording, mixing, and production from the ground up. These days, Alan continues to push boundaries through his label, Vintage League Music, with projects spanning jazz, funk, reggae, rock, and Americana—including recent recordings with Oteil Burbridge and MonoNeon at Floki Studios in Iceland, and a new album with Charlie Hunter and Ella Feingold at Pilot Recording Studios in Housatonic, MA. Alan's been on the show before in episodes RSR183, RSR339, and RSR440—and I'm psyched to have him back again, this time in person for video at Ready To Rock Studios.

Not everyone instinctively knows when they've reached the point in life where they're ready for kids. For Nick Hexum, the self-proclaimed “dad” of his band 311, that moment came when he realized his wild days were behind him and he was ready to step into family life as a husband and father. Nearly two decades later, he's a proud dad of three daughters, ages 5 to 16. We caught up with him for a rare in-person conversation during a tour stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Nick opens up about the challenges and rewards of raising kids while touring, the jaw-dropping story of delivering his own daughter during a home birth, how fatherhood reshaped his songwriting, and the powerful influence his own upbringing has had on the way he parents today.Episode 130 of Modern Dadhood finds the guys recording in person, outside, over a frosty fall beverage. The guys chat briefly about finding positivity in a world that can feel particularly dark at present, and why the autumn has a certain exciting energy. They catch up with Nick Hexum, lead singer and songwriter for 311, before a gig promoting his 3 new americana/bluegrass EPs (compiled on a full length album called Phases of Hope and Hollow). Nick candidly shares stories about his family and his career as a touring musician, reflecting on how becoming a dad has impacted his work and put his life into perspective. Topics include:•  Touring as a musician dad: balancing life on the road with being present for important family milestones.•  How becoming a father transformed Nick's creative process, songwriting inspiration, and outlook on life.•  Nick's incredible (and dramatic) story of delivering his daughter at home•  The evolving relationship between Nick's children and music, including their early involvement in creating songs and videos.•  The influence of Nick's own upbringing, especially his positive relationship with his father, on his parenting style.•  Navigating social media, privacy, and the shifting dynamics as his kids grow into their teen years.•  Maintaining a positive worldview amid challenging news cycles, and fostering open, vulnerable communication with his kids.•  And more!LINKSNick Hexum (website)Nick Hexum (Instagram)Nick Hexum (TikTok)311 (official)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Chicago-based Los Gallos is a perfect example of the blending of culture in Americana music. Their Mexican and Puerto Rican family backgrounds manifested in first-generation American players who grew up on country and rock radio in the U.S. has resulted in perhaps one of the most interesting bands we've heard in a while. Their music is a mix of English and Spanish language songs that range from traditional Mexican sounds to country singer-songwriter approaches. Watch the Episode on YouTube Ric Salazar and Henry Fajardo from the band joined us on Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about their path to music, the influences their family and upbringing had on it, and the unique blend of songs that make up their diverse portfolio of sounds. And, because we don't miss an opportunity on Roots Music Rambler, Frank did corner the guys to ask where to find the best tacos in Chicago. Frank and Falls talk about some change to Roots Music Rambler (we're back on full video now) and Falls shares his latest venture, Appalachian Echoes, which is a great companion and compliment to the show.

This week, Scott sat down with Senior Editors Kate Klonick and Eric Columbus to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including: “An Un-Airing of Grievances.” Since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, some supporters of his—including several figures within the Trump administration—have actively sought to have individuals who have said critical or purportedly insensitive things about Kirk removed from their jobs or otherwise punished. This arguably came to a head after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled from the air following statements by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggesting networks might face additional regulatory scrutiny for not addressing alleged misinformation about Kirk's killer he purportedly put forward. And while Kimmel is now back on the air, several major local affiliates are refusing to air his show. How do these efforts comport with the First Amendment? And what do they mean for freedom of speech regardless?“You Can't Spell Appeasement Without App.” After months of negotiations—during which it has held off on enforcing a statutorily mandated ban—the Trump administration has announced that it has reached a deal with China regarding the disposition of the social media platform TikTok and its operation in the United States. But the public details of the deal have been few and far between, and much more remains to be worked out. How close to a deal are the parties in actuality? And does it address the national security concerns motivating Congress's ban in the first place?“Playing with White House Money.” The Trump administration has been rocked by two major corruption-related stories in the past week. First, the Justice Department is reported to have closed an investigation into White House immigration czar Tom Homan, who reportedly accepted $50,000 from undercover FBI agents prior to joining the administration on the understanding that he would help the donors gain access to the incoming Trump administration. And second, new details suggest that the recent deal to permit chip sales to the UAE were tied up in a variety of major cryptocurrency deals that enriched both the Trump Organization and others in the Trump administration—only the latest in a long history of suspect cryptocurrency transactions by Trump-related businesses. How big a problem are these transactions? And what do they tell us about the state of corruption on the second Trump administration?In object lessons, Eric marked the Jewish New Year with a novel recommendation: “To Rise Again at a Decent Hour,” by Joshua Ferris, a midlife-crisis tale woven through Judaism, baseball, and dentistry—two subjects close to his heart, and one that isn't. Scott, meanwhile, is back on the D.C. concert circuit and wants you to join him at Union Stage on October 14 to see Katie Pruitt, whose rock-infused Americana sound he thinks deserves a bigger audience. Kate rounded things out with a little blue hippo—specifically the souvenir version of the famous Egyptian figurine better known as “William,” a reminder of a past mother-daughter trip to Paris that involved butchering French while scouring the Louvre.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Vincenzo Zino B and Jimmy Box — producers, engineers, and co-founders of Channel Recording Company, a brand-new Chicago studio designed to feel like a living room while sounding world-class. They share the story of transforming a raw warehouse into a fully treated space in Fort Knox Studios, complete with cedar diffusion walls, a 25×25 ft live room, and a glass-walled ISO booth big enough for a grand piano. We dive into their philosophy of hospitality-driven engineering, why “good sound should be the default,” and how creating a comfortable environment frees artists to focus on making their best music. Beyond the technical build, Zino B and Jimmy reflect on their paths through the Chicago scene — from Joyride sessions with legends like Buddy Guy to Grammy-nominated projects, to building a community hub where artistry, collaboration, and care come first. They also tackle big topics like AI in music, the importance of “first listeners” in mastering, and how true fans sustain independent art.

Therese Curatolo is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, globally acclaimed vocalist that lights up any room with her effervescent energy, charisma and retro vibe.

She has lent her voice to several established groups, such as Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, Scary Pockets, and Cirque du Soleil, touring worldwide and amassing over 4,000,000 Spotify streams and 15,000,000 views on YouTube. Fans of her work with Scary Pockets and Postmodern Jukebox have called her a “singing pogo stick,” “a powerhouse” and a “vocal chameleon.” Therese has established herself as an artist on the rise singing alongside soul legends Stevie Wonder and Martha Reeves. Through the years, her versatile vocal power has taken her from the Metropolitan Opera to the big screen and iconic venues, like The Hollywood Bowl. Working with artists like Benson Boone & Brian May at ‘25 Coachella, Darren Criss & Niall Horan.

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, host Robert Earl Keen sits down with two of Texas's most revered creative forces—Terry and Jo Harvey Allen. A true artistic duo, their work stretches across music, theater, film, literature, and visual art, each piece carrying the unmistakable edge of West Texas grit and imagination.Terry Allen, celebrated as both a groundbreaking songwriter and a visual artist, has long blurred the lines between mediums, telling stories that are as cinematic as they are deeply personal. Jo Harvey Allen, equally trailblazing, has carved her path as a writer, actress, and performance artist, bringing the raw complexities of American life—especially through women's voices—onto stage and screen.Together, Robert, Terry, and Jo Harvey reflect on decades of creation, collaboration, and connection: from navigating the intersections of music and art to sustaining a marriage and creative partnership that defies convention. It's part one of a conversation as expansive as the plains they call home—an intimate, fearless, and unforgettable look at two artists who continue to shape the Americana landscape.

With over 50,000 streams and a reputation for vivid, emotionally honest songwriting, Toronto-based folk artist Stan Simon returns with Narrow Bridge, a new EP set for release on July 9, 2025, through Slammin' Media, distributed worldwide by Believe. Rooted in contemporary folk traditions and laced with elements of country and Americana, the EP weaves together themes of climate urgency, personal loss, and quiet resilience. Its title track (out June 4) leads the project with a tone that's both defiant and hopeful, offering a powerful invitation to “cross that narrow bridge” toward awareness, accountability, and renewal. “It's a passionate environmental and social call to action,” Simon says. “I wanted to write something that captures both the anger and the hope I feel about what's happening in the world. About how we treat nature, each other, and ourselves.” Written and recorded with longtime producer Dennis Patterson at Big Smoke Audio, Narrow Bridge takes a layered approach to reckoning. The vivid natural imagery in its title track (bleeding oceans, burning forests, mass extinction) is underscored by Simon's frustration with “greenwashing” and political indifference. And yet, beneath the urgency lies a steady, unshaken belief in collective transformation. “We're not beyond saving,” he adds. “The song is a reminder that renewal is possible, but only if we step into discomfort and choose to act.” That spirit of resolve and reflection runs through the entire EP, which Simon describes as “an invitation to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with the natural world, and with the deeper truths we all carry.” Alongside its global outlook, Narrow Bridge offers unflinching personal moments, including the grief-stricken ballad “Long Way Past Gone,” written shortly before the passing of Simon's father. “This song took on new meaning after he died,” Simon explains. “It's about feeling far beyond the point of return. There's numbness, resignation, and the sense of being broken in ways that can't be fixed.” Using imagery like a cardinal's song (often seen as a spiritual sign) Simon threads together mourning and metaphysical longing, evoking the empty quiet of spiritual collapse with poetic, weary precision. “I wanted to paint a picture of someone who is emotionally disconnected from life,” he says, “but also still reaching for meaning through the fog.” D I S C O V E R Website:https://www.stansimonmusic.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/stansimonmusicInstagram:http://instagram.com/stansimonFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/stansimonmusic/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkystQkNOVQxtl51oWTYgQSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5FNVNpBAW998paHMVx3xLV Checkout my YouTube Channel with long form interviews from the Subversives | the History of Lowest of the Low. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuxFWKuRdmn9j8UTW6AHwS_fAlso my Weekly Tour Vlog is up an live on the YouTubeshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d1VSeOHYuwphwhc4zd0VgY66f1OUQZp Pledge monthly with Patreon https://www.patreon.com/apologueShop Apologue products at http://apologue.ca/shopCheck out new Four Square Here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/brighton-beach-ephttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/seven-oh-sevenhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/industry-at-home--21st-anniversary-remix-remasteredhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/foursquare/when-weeks-were-weekends

 Joshua Josue was such a pleasure to talk to and to learn about! We chatted about how he was first inspired by the “La Bamba” movie and Los Lobos and knew he wanted to be a musician. We also talked about his new album “Beneath the Sand,” writing in English vs. Spanish, and his dog Bogart.    Recorded in the Mojave Desert, Joshua Josue's “Beneath the Sand” features an all-star lineup of musical guests, including: Roly Salley (GRAMMY-winning writer, The Chris Isaak Band), Mitch Marine (Dwight Yoakam's band), Hershel Yatovitz (Chris Isaak's band), Steve Berlin (LosLobos), Joel Guzmán (Los Super Seven), and Murry Hammond (The Old 97's).Joshua's lyrical journey – written largely on the open road through Mexico andCentral America – is as deeply personal as it is universal. Songs like the title track "Beneath the Sand," born from a year of grief-stricken travels, capture the essence of transformation in vivid, cinematic detail. The album is rich in both English and Spanish, reflecting Joshua's multiculturalupbringing and his artistic fusion of Americana and Chicano influences.With two tracks from the album already under consideration for GRAMMY nominations, Beneath the Sand is poised to make a significant impact.   Be sure to check Joshua out here:  Website: joshuajosuemusic.com  IG: Joshua_josue_music  Facebook: Joshua Josue

Ist es ein Break-up-Album... oder ist es keins? Die Timeline sagt: Letzteres. Denn: die Songs für das sechste Album der Grunge-Alt-Indie-Rocker Wednesday schrieb Karly Hartzman bereits vor dem Ende ihrer Liebesbeziehung mit Gitarrist MJ Lenderman. Trotzdem gibt's Herzschmerz auf der Platte. «The Way Love Goes» oder «Townies» heissen die ruhigeren, Americana- und Country-getränkten Tracks auf dem neuen Album, welches bereits vor Wochen mit «Elderberry Wine» (Song des Jahres???) ähnlich zurückhaltend angekündigt wurde. Aber es wird natürlich auch immer noch gerockt («Pick Up That Knife») und ge-screamt («Wasp») bei Wednesday, no worries! «Bleeds» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche. Wir haben CDs zu verschenken – jeden Abend bis und mit Freitag gibt's in unserer Radiosendung je ein Exemplar zu gewinnen.

You know that feeling when you rediscover something—a sound, a feeling—that makes you feel young again? Takes you back 25-plus years? Just hits you right between the eyes? I do, because it happened the second I heard the opening riff of “Irish Goodbye,” the first single from latest album by the Minneapolis-based band the Honeydogs. That jangly guitar took me back to 1996/97, when the so-called alt.country music scene was just getting started. So it was a thrill to welcome Honeydogs singer/songwriter Adam Levy to the show and talk about the band's first album in almost 10 years, Algebra for Broken Hearts. More than that, this is the first album with the original lineup since 1997—so yeah, there's a familiarity here that's hard to beat. Adam talks about getting the band back together, writing songs with the new-old band, jamming with the band's drummer, brother Noah Levy, and a ton more. So sit back, dig in and jam out as Adam Levy joins me on For Songs.

“Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear... until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share. I'll never stop fighting. Ever.”This week on the show, we'll be discussing Wes Eastin's documentary Shopping For Superman, which is a love-letter to the friendly neighborhood comic shop and the people fighting to keep their doors open. "Shopping for Superman guides viewers through a 50-year journey revealing the origin story of their friendly neighborhood comic shops and the people fighting to keep their doors open. From the 1930s to the late 1960s, comics were mainly sold to young kids at newsstands and drugstore spinner racks. In the early '70s, two things happened that changed that. First, the readership got older, and second, comics as collectibles emerged as a hobby. That's when the comic book store sprang up.By the '80s, the local comic book shop became the main way that readers bought their comics. Now, because of various factors, including digital comics, comic book shops are closing left and right. Hopefully, this new documentary can help shed light on why this important piece of Americana is something that needs preserving."This doc will be available on-demand on Sept. 19th for Apple TV+, Google Play and Amazon Prime, so you can watch Shopping for Superman there.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Winning Culture Wars Clay highlights the record-breaking ratings of football and the success of American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad campaign, which he views as emblematic of a broader cultural pendulum swinging back toward sanity, beauty, and Americana. This cultural shift, he argues, is closely tied to the popularity of President Donald Trump and a rejection of progressive narratives. The hosts explore the impact of woke advertising agencies, particularly those on Madison Avenue, which they claim have pushed ideologically driven campaigns that alienate mainstream consumers. They cite examples like Bud Light and Cracker Barrel, arguing that conservative consumers are now influencing corporate decisions by voting with their wallets. The success of campaigns featuring traditional beauty and sports is seen as a rejection of androgynous and politically charged marketing. Clay and Buck also discuss the strategic importance of winning the culture war, asserting that cultural victories are more impactful than policy debates. They call for continued pressure on corporations to align with conservative values and celebrate companies that do so, believing success will breed imitation. Bodycams Work Crime and public safety, with a focus on urban violence and the Trump administration’s tough-on-crime stance. A poignant clip from a Chicago grandmother underscores the desperation felt in high-crime neighborhoods and the desire for increased law enforcement presence. The hosts criticize progressive leaders for failing to protect vulnerable communities and highlight the disconnect between elite rhetoric and everyday realities. Body cameras are praised for providing transparency and protecting police officers from false accusations. The hosts argue that footage often reveals restraint and professionalism in law enforcement, countering mainstream media narratives. They also discuss the psychological toll of police work and the importance of understanding the realities officers face. Toward the end of the hour, Clay and Buck address a controversial report suggesting the Trump administration is considering banning gun ownership for transgender individuals, citing mental health concerns. They acknowledge the complexity of the issue, balancing Second Amendment rights with public safety, and note the political dilemma this poses for Democrats who advocate both gun control and transgender rights. Vaccine Questions A discussion centered on vaccine mandates, medical freedom, and cultural politics, with a strong emphasis on parental rights and skepticism toward the healthcare establishment. The hosts begin by spotlighting Florida’s move to eliminate all vaccine mandates under Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis, framing it as a major win for medical autonomy and personal liberty. They criticize the COVID-era public health policies, especially mask mandates and vaccine coercion, calling out the authoritarian behavior of bureaucrats and airline staff. Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the conversation, advocating for vaccine decisions to be made between doctors and patients, not dictated by government mandates. Clay and Buck reflect on their own parenting experiences, expressing concern over the increasing number of childhood vaccinations and questioning the pharmaceutical industry's influence. They discuss the rise in childhood allergies and illnesses, suggesting a link to overmedication and calling for a more holistic, risk-benefit approach to pediatric healthcare. Politicizing Public Health Dr. Nicole Saphier, Fox News analyst and host of “Wellness Unmasked” on the C&B Podcast Network reacts to the RFK Jr. Senate hearing, condemning the politicization of healthcare and calling for a return to data-driven, transparent public health policy. She highlights the erosion of trust in institutions like the CDC and HHS and urges a reevaluation of the childhood vaccine schedule, advocating for fewer shots and more nuanced messaging to combat vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Sapphire also shares personal anecdotes, including her awkward first encounter with her now-husband, and promotes her podcast Wellness Unmasked, part of the Clay and Buck Podcast Network. The hosts wrap up the hour with humorous banter about bad dates, movie preferences—including The English Patient and Bloodsport—and Buck’s misadventures bathing his dog after a messy walk, adding a dose of comic relief to the show’s cultural and political depth.
