This episode of Unlocked is one I didn't know I needed. Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West joins me and what starts with laughing about The Masked Singer somehow turns into one of the most honest conversations about faith, shame, marriage, and what it actually looks like to live what you preach.We talk about growing up with pressure around faith, feeling like all eyes are on you, and the danger of becoming performative instead of personal. Matthew opens up about being better at talking about God than talking to Him. That one hit me. We talk about grace, about shame, about how easy it is to remember our worst mistakes and forget that God doesn't keep score the way we do.We also get into marriage in today's world, breaking generational cycles, apologizing to your kids when you mess up, and why humility might be one of the most powerful things a parent can model. There's something really beautiful about hearing a man talk about choosing his wife every day and putting faith at the center of his home.If you've ever questioned where God is in the middle of your hardest seasons… if you've wrestled with shame… if you're trying to build something healthy after coming from dysfunction… this conversation is for you. And yes, we also talk about his unreleased song that might just save a few marriages.LET'S BE SOCIAL:Follow Savannah Chrisley:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/SavannahChrisley)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@SavannahChrisley)X: (https://www.x.com/_itssavannah_)Follow Matthew West:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/matthewjwest/)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@matthewjwest)X: (https://x.com/matthew_west)YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs7x1ETqOho69bBQqHCJx7A)Website: (https://www.matthewwest.com/)Follow The Unlocked Podcast:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/UnlockedWithSavannah)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@UnlockedWithSav)About Matthew West:Dubbed “one of Christian music's most prolific singer-songwriters” (Billboard), Matthew West has notched 38 No.1 songs combined as an artist and songwriter and has been awarded RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications.

Joshua 9 | March 1, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithPastor Todd explores the critical importance of seeking divine guidance in all decisions, drawing from Joshua chapter 9. He highlights the Israelites' costly mistake when they were deceived by the Gibeonites because they "did not ask counsel from the Lord." This ancient narrative serves as a powerful reminder of how easily we can fall prey to deception when we rely solely on our own understanding.Discover three biblical ways to seek God's counsel: through His Word, His peace, and His people. Learn how to sharpen your discernment and navigate life's crossroads with wisdom and confidence, ensuring your choices align with God's perfect will.Connect with Crossroads Community Church:Website: https://lifeatcrossroads.orgFacebook: https://facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsGive Online:https://lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonlineLicensing Information:CCLI License #2915685CCS WORSHIPcast License #9466Crossroads Community Church holds a CCS WORSHIPcast License, which grants permission to publicly play, perform, and stream musical compositions controlled by ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in accordance with CCS License Terms and Conditions.

Welcome to the first of hopefully many shorter episodes of Roots Music Rambler, we're calling our Backstage with episodes. These are short interviews Frank and Falls are able to grab backstage (or just somewhere in person rather than on our virtual, longer-form interview episodes) and catch up briefly. Our first such episode is with Josh Mitcham. The Breckenridge County, Kentucky native and farmer has a new solo album coming out in June called Gonna Be Alright. He's dropped a couple of singles from the album already and the sound is a level up from previous work as he brought the Alabama Sound Company to the table to produce the album. Josh is the former frontman for Jericho Woods and a 2026 Kentucky Music Hall of Fame Ambassador.  Falls caught him backstage at the Mercury Ballroom in early February, getting ready to open for Sundy Best. The two talked about the new songs and album, Josh's approach to promoting the music and a lot more.  Find Josh Mitcham online at joshmitcham.com, on Spotify, Instagram and Facebook.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

The day this episode of Roots Music Rambler drops, so does a new album from virtual newcomer to the music scene, Trey Hedrick. But don't let the debut album and baby-faced Hedrick fool you: This guy can write songs and play like you wouldn't believe.  In fact, Hedrick is a rare guest on Roots Music Rambler: Generally unproven with just a few social media followers more than the average bar band. But he's got two things going for him that convinced us he's well on his way to becoming the next big thing: He's spent a few years touring and playing with other musicians many people couldn't keep up with; And, his team sent us the album raw masters early to hear the whole thing. It's good, y'all. Very good. We sat down with Trey back in the fall, well ahead of the album being finished. In fact, you'll be able to tell from the conversation that we didn't even know the name of the record (Sing, Appalachia) or the release date (today, Feb. 20, 2026) when we interviewed him. But we found, and you will discover, Trey has the mindset and maturity few first-album artists ever do. Hedrick grew up on a cattle farm in Southeast Ohio in a family peppered with seasoned musical talent. He's played guitar and mandolin since he can remember and told us his grandmother would call the grandkids in on a hot day and ask them to play songs for her. (Sneaky way of getting them to cool off.) Hedtrick cut his professional teeth in the Athens, Ohio, music scene and sent some acoustic demos of a few songs to Nashville producer Sean Sullivan, who has worked with Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, John Prine and others. Sullivan liked the demos and the two went into the studio and cut the record at the Tractor Shed last summer. Hedrick's storytelling stems from his upbringing in a proud, working-class family. Almost all the men in his family have ties to the coal mines, too, so he's as Appalachian as they come. Our first impression of his songs was that he reminded us of a young Ricky Skaggs. We think you'll agree.  Also in this episode, Frank and Falls chat about a previous guest's plans for new music this year and share our Pickin' the Grinnin' picks for the week. Frank called out Swedish rockers Sabaton. Falls recommended Damn Tall Buildings, whom we interviewed in Episode 66. Trey Hedrick's interview fell before the Damn Tall Buildings one, but we saved it for debut day!  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

If most of us grew up the way Dakota Ray Parker did, we'd have given up a long time ago. But the resilient, friendly Parker navigated his way through a rough and tumble childhood to funnel those traumatic experiences into outstanding songs and singing in his music. Parker joined us on Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about his turbulent upbringing, finding music was a natural escape to distract himself, then to writing and recording music that is now finding its way to a nice audience for the Kentucky native. His music is inspired by everything from Southern Gospel to 90s Country and even hip-hop. He told us his first musical dream was to be a rapper. Parker released two albums in 2025 and continues to knock out singles every so often. His latest single “Clown” has already amassed 150,000 streams on Spotify thanks to his traditional sounding vocals and catchy lyricism. His new single “Freeborn Man” drops the day this episode does (Feb. 13).  We not only got to hear his story and how he approaches songwriting, but we'll listen to snippets of four of his songs on the episode as well.  Frank and Falls also chat about Falls's recent trip to the Grand Ole Opry and rant a little about people who talk at certain types of concerts. The two also have new Pickin' The Grinnin' choices for music recommendations this week. Frank points to multi-instrumentalist and frequent session and guest musician John Calvin Abney. Falls shouts out The Wildmans.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

Show NotesAt NAMM 2026, Sean Martin sits down with Chuck Tennin, the President and CEO of Big Fish Music and Big Fish Music Publishing Group, for a candid conversation about the role of AI in the music industry and why the human element remains irreplaceable. Known as "The Big Fish" and "The Alligator," Chuck has spent more than five decades working as an engineer, record producer, music publisher, and consultant, and he pulls no punches when it comes to the limits of technology in creative work.Chuck draws a sharp line between AI as a tool and AI as a replacement for human creativity. He points to organizations like ASCAP, BMI, and the Recording Academy as allies in the fight to protect the creative process, arguing that AI cannot replicate the feel, the instinct, and the emotional investment that go into producing a record. For Chuck, the difference between producing music and producing a record is everything: a record has to connect with an audience on a level that no algorithm can manufacture.The conversation takes listeners through Chuck's journey from two-track analog recording to the digital era of Pro Tools, exploring how each technological leap brought efficiency but never fully captured the warmth and authenticity of tape. He reflects on the critical distinction between an MP3 and a WAV file, between convenience and quality, and between what sounds good enough and what sounds like a record.Chuck also shares hard-earned wisdom about the business side of music: the perseverance required, the reality that 90% of aspiring artists fail, and the belief in oneself that separates survivors from those who walk away. Drawing on stories from legendary artists he has worked with over the decades, he reminds listeners that every big name started in the same place and climbed out of the same struggle.This is a conversation about what technology can assist with and what it can never touch: the soul of music and the humans who create it.HostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/GuestChuck Tennin, President and CEO of Big Fish Music and Big Fish Music Publishing Group | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-tennin-3468b6105/ResourcesThe NAMM Show 2026 is taking place from January 20-24, 2026 | Anaheim Convention Center, Southern California — Follow our coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/the-namm-show-2026-namm-music-conference-music-technology-event-coverage-anaheim-californiaMusic Evolves: Sonic Frontiers Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7290890771828719616/Keywordschuck tennin, big fish music, sean martin, AI in music, analog vs digital recording, record producer, music publishing, Pro Tools, ASCAP, BMI, Recording Academy, NAMM 2026, music industry, human creativity, songwriting, music, creativity, art, artist, musician, music evolves, music podcast, music and technology podcastMore From Sean MartinMore from Music Evolves: https://www.seanmartin.com/music-evolves-podcastMusic Evolves on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTRJ5du7hFDXjiugu-uNPtWMusic Evolves: Sonic Frontiers Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7290890771828719616/On Location with Sean and Marco: https://www.itspmagazine.com/on-locationITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!

Emily Scott Robinson may just be one of the most underrated singer-songwriters in the Americana space. When folks get hold of her fifth studio album Appalachia her status should rise considerably.  Robinson joined us on Roots Music Rambler for an episode that drops on the very day Appalachia hits stores and streaming services to talk about the album, the songs, her background and so much more.  Robinson, who is originally from North Carolina but now calls Colorado home, wrote the record on the tail end of Hurricane Helene which devastated much of the Western Carolinas and East Tennessee. Her songs elevate the beauty of that land and the people there. She talked about that beauty, especially the neighbors-helping-neighbors response to the flooding and devastation. Robinson also shared some behind the scenes stories of being and Oh Boy! Records artist, the legacy label of John Prine, recommended a Pickin' the Grinnin' choice of her own (Palymra) and a lot more in a fun, engaging conversation well worth the watch or listen. Also in this episode, Frank asks Falls about his new podcast client Katie Combs. Falls, who produces podcasts through his day job consultancy at Falls+Parnters, is now producing Listen, Honey! Combs's new show has already offered up two episodes of particular interest to Roots Music Rambler listeners. She has in-depth and not music-focused episodes out now with Nicholas Jamerson and Tanner Horton (The Creekers) well worth watching. The two also share this week's Pickin' the Grinnin' choices for new music recommendations. Frank raves about King Margo's song “Send Me Out Like Autumn” and Falls raves about Western Kentucky roots rock band Hollerhead.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

Elizabeth Sherman and Ryan Hardison started out as a couple. Then started tinkering with bluegrass music. Then the pandemic hit and they began recording multitracks of cover songs at home.  As you may have guessed by now, that led to another step, then another and the duo heads into 2026 as Brand New Box of Matches, a bluegrass group with no fewer than three studio albums and an ever-growing list of both original and cover tunes in their repertoire.  We sat down with Elizabeth and Ryan recently to learn more about their journey from music lovers to more serious, full-time musicians, their musical backgrounds and tastes, songwriting and a lot more. The Knoxville, Tennessee-based pair just announced a 2026 tour that includes a number of festivals and appearances sure to grow the fan base and get their music out there. Roots Music Rambler was tickled to be an outpost to help tell that story.  Also in this episode, Frank and Falls talk about upcoming Roots Music Rambler “Backstage” episodes that will be shorter, informal catch-up interviews with various artists when the opportunities present themselves. The two also share this week's Pickin' the Grinnin' choices for new music recommendations. Frank calls out Durham, N.C.'s alt-country band Fust while Falls shares his new fascination with West Virginia songwriter Olivia Ellen Lloyd.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

Hunter Park quickly gained a reputation as one of the hottest up-and-coming singer-songwriters when her project She Returns from War made its first full album debut in 2015. Since, the road dogging and networking have done Hunter and the band well. A 2018 album, well-received by alt-country and alternative media, particularly in her native Charleston, S.C., was followed by the amazing Ruthless in 2023.  And, hot off a fall tour opening for S.G. Goodman, She Returns From War is poised to drop a bonafide country album in 2026. Park joined us on Roots Music Rambler to talk about the project's rise from Charleston open-mic group to touring band. We talked about her moving to Nashville, touring with S.G. Goodman, and her brave openness of being a transgendered country music singer.  With the style and sophistication of her writing and the boldness of her position as a deserving artist in the space, we can't wait to hear the new album and see where 2026 takes her and the group.  Frank and Falls also made some music recommendations in their Pickin' The Grinnin' segment. Frank is big on Presley Haile while falls recommended a Kentucky-based rock/blues/country group called The Shelby Lore Band.   Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

When you say you're in a bluegrass band from Brooklyn, N.Y., folks in Appalachia will look at you pretty funny. The reaction is almost like the Pace Picante sauce commercial in the 1990s. “New York City? Get a rope!” But when you dig a little deeper, as we did with Avery Ballotta from the group Damn Tall Buildings, you not only discover some fine pickers and songwriters, but there's a thriving bluegrass scene in the New York City area. And that quality musicians like Ballotta and bandmates Sasha Dubyk and Max Capistran, honed their bluegrass chops during their time at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Ballotta joined Roots Music Rambler to talk about Damn Tall Buildings' new album The Universe is Hungry, which dropped in late October. We explored his background, how the group came together and their “paying it forward” mentality. Dubyk and Capistran run a music education program in Brooklyn. The trio also recently returned from a second overseas trip in conjunction with the U.S. State Department's cultural outreach program. They taught, jammed and collaborated with students and musicians in Saudi Arabia, which only recently legalized music for citizens. They've also toured Ethiopia as a group as well. Avery was such a delight to chat with and we had a lot of fun comparing notes and talking about what seems to be a resurgence of bluegrass music around the country and world.  Frank and Falls also talked about the recent Bruce Springsteen biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere starring Jeremy Allen White, and shared their Pickin' The Grinnin' picks this week which included Snowcaps and Joshua Slone.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

The Year 2025 has been a fairly impressive one in Americana and Roots Music and Roots Music Rambler fans have been there for it. On our year-ender episode, Frank and Falls not only recap their favorite new artists, albums and songs, but recall their favorite concerts and events of the year. And, as a bonus, Falls caught up with Ashton Bowling and Allen Hacker from The Creekers backstage at their recent holiday tour stop in Louisville, Ky. The short green room interview is an added bonus to an episode that celebrates the year we had. What's your pick for Americana Album of the Year? The year 2025 had too many to choose from. Molly Tuttle, I'm With Her, Tyler Childers, Hayes Carll, Nicholas Jamerson, Patterson Hood, Jason Isbell and many, many more all produced great albums this year. And songs? From Kashsus Culpepper's Believe to Molly Tuttle's That's Gonna Leave A Mark and Tyler Childers' Bitin' List to I'm With Her's Ancient Light, there's an entire playlist full of potential best songs of the year to choose from. Frank and Falls also talk about the best new artist for 2025. Depending on your definition of new artist, some names we had on our list include Jesse Wells, Cait Justice, Del Roscoe, Ramona & The Holy Smokes, and even our bonus guests, The Creekers could all be up for that honor.  And in true Roots Music Rambler fashion, Frank and Falls look back on the best live shows they saw in 2025. Their top choices may surprise you. And, if you're interested, Falls actually did a Top Songs countdown on our companion radio show, Appalachian Echoes. You can see his countdown, which includes a heavy bias toward Appalachian artists, on the Appalachian Echoes website.   Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

The Nutcracker: Concert Suite vs. Ballet Welcome back and Merry Christmas Eve. My girlfriend Karen and I partook in a Northcoast Christmas season tradition a week and a half ago for the very first time. And of course, my dad had a record for that.  It's not a vinyl record, but a shellac album set recorded nearly 100 years ago that probably belonged to my dad's dad. And it's filled with music from a US holiday tradition. But if you've ever seen the ballet it's connected to, you'll notice plenty of music missing. I'll tell you why as we go along. In fact, this is going to be a lengthy dive into the difference between the suite and the dance. So, get ready to hear the most notable themes from a fairytale ballet as Stokowski conducts Tschaikowsky in Volume 251: A Cleveland Ballet Christmas Tradition. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - The Philadelphia Orchestra Conducted By Leopold Stokowski – Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a Label: Victor Red Seal – DM 265 Series: Musical Masterpiece Series Format: 3 x Shellac, 12", 78 RPM, Album, Reissue, Camden Pressing Released: in the mid 1940s, I am not sure of the release of this version.

Merry Christmas! My dad had a couple dozen records meant just for this time of year. So I HAD to come back for a Christmas Day music show. I talked a lot in yesterday's deep dive into the music of the seasonal favorite, The Nutcracker. So we're going to do a lot of listening in this one…and thinking about Christmas dinner pasts. This four record box set is filled with lots of holiday hits and some songs I've never heard before. Its source is one of the most beloved TV hosts and orchestra conductors from my youth. So get ready to hear that effervescent music from holidays past complete with a longed-for litany of my family's favorite holiday food items in Volume 252 A Champagne Christmas.

Americana music enthusiasts and concert-goers are constantly in search of the “next big thing.” We all want to be in on the ground floor of watching and artist's rise to fame so we can say we were a fan from “the beginning.” Whether it's seeing Tyler Childers with 20 other people at a dive bar in 2017 or standing next to Wyatt Flores at Laurel Cove watching Jesse Wells play, the undiscovered are always discovered by those who remember running into them along the way. On more than one occasion in the last six months, the “next big thing” label has been said in the same sentence with Emily Jamerson. The younger sister of Sundy Best founder and underground country godfather Nicholas Jamerson, Emily has emerged with songs and stories as moving and thoughtful as her brother's. She has yet to record a full album, but a strong set of singles and some live sessions have made their way to the streaming services. They're consistently good with each new one revealing more of the Prestonsburg, Ky., native's promise. Emily Jamerson joined Jason Falls for an interview with Roots Music Rambler back in late September. Since that time she has continued to build a strong road presence, expanding to a full band for many shows, and her duet with her older brother, “Sunday Dinners” (which she talks about in the interview) started getting radio play. It's on Nicholas's latest album, The Narrow Way. Emily shared more reflections on growing up in the Jamerson household to compliment her older brother's stories he shared with us back in the summer. She also shared the formal and informal advice and encouragement Nicholas has provided along the way, including a book (Michael Singer's The Surrender Experiment), he gave her that helped push past self-doubt and finally write and share her music. And we talked about and listened to some of her latest music like ”Dried Paint” and “Run, Run Baby.” Frank and Falls also chatted about Christmas plans and traditions, plus each shared their Pickin' the Grinnin' pics for recommended music this week. Frank kept with the holiday theme and shared the music of Ottmar Leibert, whose 1990 album Poets & Angels is one of her favorites for this time of year. Falls calls out upstart honky-tonkers Jason Scott & The High Heat who he saw open for The Mavericks and Dwight Yoakam last April.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

It's no secret that at Roots Music Rambler we love music  with that old school country sound. We've raved about previous guests like Kimmi Bitter, Logan Ledger and others. The latest episode reinforces our appreciation for the simpler tones of bygone eras as perhaps the queen of the sub-genre joined us. Melissa Carper's blend of country and western, blues, gospel and even ragtime sounds has made an imprint on the country and Americana spaces since her earliest  releases in 2015. Her latest regular, full-length studio album, Borned In Ya, was one of our top records of 2024. Carper recently released a new record, A Very Carper Christmas, which is an album of all original holiday tunes, and kicked off a holiday tour in Louisville, Ky., opening for J.D. McPherson, to support it. She joined us a few weeks back (so long ago she even “announced” the Christmas album to us during the recording) to talk about her journey growing up in a musical family, traveling the country on an adventure after deciding college wasn't for her, and ultimately becoming one of the most unique sounding artists in the country and Americana space. We also talked about her recent collaboration with Theo Lawrence and her involvement with the super group Wonder Women of Country with Kelly Willis and Brennen Leigh.   Frank and Falls also chatted about music venues they would like to see shows in and each shared their Pickin' the Grinnin' pics for recommended music this week. Falls calls out Frankfort, Ky., based singer-songwriter Jeri Katherine Howell while Frank recalls a visceral reaction to discovering The White Buffalo.

The hour opens with Senator Eric Schmitt criticizing Claire McCaskill's comments on military orders and discussing healthcare reform, budget concerns, and potential legal actions against political figures. Jimmy Failla joins next, sharing behind-the-scenes humor about Fox News' holiday party and media personalities' antics. Taylor Riggs then breaks down the market outlook and the potential impact of the Fed's expected rate cut, connecting economic shifts to affordability and wage trends. Finally, the conversation shifts to Gene Simmons and the American Music Fairness Act, exploring artist royalties, the role of ASCAP and BMI, and the evolving landscape of the music industry.

This week, we're celebrating two timeless soundtracks with the legendary Paul Williams, the award-winning songwriter behind Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and The Muppet Movie, including the beloved classic (as well as my favorite song of all time) “Rainbow Connection.” Paul shares the stories behind these unforgettable soundtracks & the films they're connected to, his creative partnership with Jim Henson, and what it's like bringing heart, humor, and hope to generations through music. We also dive into his work as President of ASCAP, his collaborations with Daft Punk, Portugal. The Man, Willie Nelson, Jason Mraz, and more, along with stories from Phantom of the Paradise and another Muppet holiday classic, The Muppet Christmas Carol. If you grew up loving The Muppets, know every step of Carrots the Dancing Horse's routine, or find yourself rocking out to the Riverbottom Nightmare Band every holiday season, I promise this episode is as sweet as honeysuckle on the vine, ma!

This week on Truth to Power, we are thrilled to share a community conversation with two brilliant artistic minds who were awarded the 2025 Spalding Prize for the Promotion of Peace and Justice in Literature on November 11th at the Brown Hotel's 16th Floor Gallery. This year's winners are Irene Sankoff and David Hein, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics for the award-winning Broadway musical Come From Away. This remarkable, moving, and award-winning comedy is based on true events in the Newfoundland town Gander. Immediately after the 9/11 attacks on the United States, dozens of commercial aircraft with approximately 7,000 passengers aboard were ordered to land at Gander International Airport. The airport's impressive name belies the fact that Gander was and is a small town in Newfoundland; nonetheless, Gander residents scrambled to feed, shelter, and, most importantly, welcome thousands of passengers, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religious or sexual preference, or nationality. The compassion and kindness of the citizens of Gander and their generosity toward stranded passengers created enduring friendships and connections among people who were recently complete strangers. Come From Away highlights the many occasions for human compassion even in the midst of a global tragedy. After the play's immense success, Sankoff and Hein wrote the screenplay providing international access to the staged performance of Come From Away. Irene Sankoff is a Canadian Tony- and Olivier-nominated, Grammy-nominated writer for theatre, film, and television. A writer and actor, Sankoff has received a Meritorious Service Cross of Canada. She is a member of the Dramatists Guild, Writers Guild, and ASCAP. David Hein is an Olivier Award-winning, Tony- and Grammy-nominated writer. He and Irene Sankoff created My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding based on his mother's true story, earning Best Musical awards across America. The Spalding Prize is awarded by the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing at Spalding University.

Most independent artists have thousands of dollars in unclaimed royalties sitting in four separate collection systems—and a four-year window to recover this money before it's redistributed to major labels.   In this episode, I break down the systematic framework for conducting a personal royalty audit. You'll discover why being registered with ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC isn't enough, and learn about the three additional systems most artists don't know exist: SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing administration services for worldwide mechanical collection, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective for streaming platform royalties.   I'll walk you through the five-step implementation process: auditing your current registrations, gathering documentation, registering with missing systems, claiming historical royalties, and creating an ongoing management system to prevent future losses.   This framework builds on insights from music business educator Amani Roberts in Episode 339, where he reveals how artists consistently leave money on the table through incomplete registrations and missing split sheet documentation.   Topics Covered: The four registration systems required to collect all your royalties How unclaimed royalties are redistributed to major labels after four years How to verify you're registered correctly with your PRO (writer AND publisher sides) SoundExchange registration for Pandora, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM royalties Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) free registration process When publishing administration services are worth the cost Split sheet documentation as the foundation for royalty collection Metadata management across all four systems Common mistakes that cause royalties to go unclaimed Step-by-step audit process with time estimates Creating an ongoing system to prevent future unclaimed royalties   December is the perfect time for this year-end financial cleanup—start recovering money you've already earned.
