Podcasts about big head todd

You may not know the name, but you know his sound. From his work as a member of Lipps, Inc, to producing with Prince to bands like Fine Young Cannibals and Big Head Todd and the Monsters, David Z has created a sound that, literally, everyone has danced to. For more information on David and his fascinating career, check out his website.

This week, to celebrate the 100th episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I am creating The Ultimate Mixtape by asking 65 different people (previous My Weekly Mixtape guests, friends of the show & the amazing Patreon Mixtapers) the same question: If you had to choose one song for the ultimate mixtape (any song / any genre), that would be locked away in a time capsule for others to discover years or decades for now…which song would you choose and why?  Now, I'm not lost on the fact that the question is just a spin on the “desert island song” question that a lot of my guests have been asked countless times. The twist for the next few episodes is: I am taking those 65 song choices (all of which are from various bands, artists, decades, genres and tempos), and curating them into what I hope will be a properly sequenced playlist from a musical perspective!  At the very least? This was a fun & unique twist on a question as old as interviews themselves. But at its best? Congratulations, you're listening to The Ultimate Mixtape!!  This ep. includes the final 25 responses! Be sure to also check out Volume's 1 & 2 to get the full experience!   Guests appearing in Vol. 3 (in no particular order): Guy Fletcher of Dire Straits, Joe Bonamassa, Desmond Child, Ed Toth of The Doobie Brothers, Walter Trout, Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Nick Niespodziani & Peter Olson of Yacht Rock Revue, Billy Sheehan of Mr. Big, Kevin “Sonny” Gullage, Emily Wolfe, Jax Hollow, Sean Faust, Wolfgang Valbrun, Carrie Cunningham, Jesse Jackson of Set Lusting Bruce, Eric Senich of the Van Halen News Desk / Booked on Rock Podcast, Jessica Ann Catena of Music Notes With Jess, Bobby Schultz of Effin' Cultured, Mac Wolf of The Ugly American Werewolf In London Rock Podcast, Jason Whissell of It's Not That Bad & There Can Only Be One Podcasts, friends of the show Jimmy Mitchell & Bob Spear, two more incredible Patreon Mixtapers: David Lee Smith & Philip Bergman, and last (but certainly not least!) a guest appearance from Paul Williams!

Send us a textWhat happens when your trusty co-host bails on you last minute? Well, you embrace the chaos and steer the ship solo! Join me, Scott McLean, as I embark on an unexpected adventure through the global soundscape without my usual partner-in-crime, Jack. Our "dysfunctional podcast relationship" takes center stage with a hearty dose of humor and a touch of introspection, as I dive into the world of music genres, from the electrifying riffs of metal to the rhythmic beats of reggaeton. You won't want to miss the nostalgic laughter over my classic Cadillac Eldorado tales and the quirky banter with our loyal listeners like Big Head Todd and Patty.Ever wondered what unites salsa dancers and metalheads? It's the universal language of music, and we're charting it all—a melodic journey through ten genres that shape our world. Take a sonic tour that kicks off with metal's thunderous allure, glides into alternative and indie's eclectic vibes, and sways to the Latin and reggaeton rhythms. Whether it's the storytelling soul of country or the infectious energy of EDM, each genre is a chapter in the global playlist, and we're here to celebrate it with personal anecdotes and a bit of comic relief.As we crescendo into the top spots, witness the transformative power of hip-hop and rap, and revel in the catchy dominion of pop music, the reigning champ. I'm here to share not just the music but the memories and stories that give each note its heartbeat. With Morrissey's words echoing, "the pleasure, the privilege is mine," this episode closes with gratitude and anticipation for our next rendezvous. So, tune in for a mix of music, humor, and heartfelt connection that promises to strike a chord with every listener.

Celebrating his 30th anniversary in the music industry with his band “The Nadas”, singer/songwriter, and founding member Jason Walsmith joins us in the studio to talk about his career. Jason has spent his adult life as a career musician, storyteller, photographer, traveler, and adventurer. The celebrated folk-Americana act The Nadas have amassed a loyal and dedicated following over the past three decades for their engaging live shows and distinctive 70s-meets-90s sound. Blending twangy, Stones-era “country honk” with raw, alt-rock energy and wistful, folk-leaning melodies, their music is as alive as it is authentic. Over 30 years of making music together, The Nadas have shared the stage with The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Big Head Todd and Barenaked Ladies, been inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame, sold over 300,000 albums (even in a time when you can't buy a CD player), earned praise from a wide range of major publications, and written the theme song for their hometown—twice.  During his musical journey, inspired by the case of an old family heirloom that has stood the test of time, Jason has taken the elements of the design to create the heritage designed, soft-sided guitar case created to protect your favorite guitars through all of life's adventures: heavy dry waxed cotton duck material that is naturally water repellent and durable, a quilted cotton felt interior and features high quality leather and brass zippers. Interesting tidbit of information here… Jason's band “The Nadas” was named “The Best College Band You've Never Heard Of” by Playboy Magazine in 2001. www.guitarsatchel.com www.thenadas.com www.jasonwalsmithstoryteller.com Songs heard on this episode include: Song: “Other Side of The 45” (ASCAP) Artist: “The Nadas” Songwriter(s): The Nadas   Song: “Come Along For The Ride” (ASCAP) Artist: “The Nadas” Songwriter(s): The Nadas   Song: “Campervan” (ASCAP) Artist: Jason Walsmith Songwriter(s): Jason Walsmith   Creator and Executive Producer Emeritus: Tom Sabella Showrunner and Host (the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender Management Representation: Chuck Thompson for Thompson Entertainment Group, LLC Co-Producer - Audio/Video Editor (the man behind the curtain): Mark Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Marketing and Social Media (all knowing): Sarah Fleshner for 362 Entertainment Recorded inside what could be an old beat up Airstream Trailer located somewhere on what's left of Music Row in Nashville TN (Man we sure do miss Noshville, and the Longhorn Steakhouse) Mixed and Mastered at Music Dog Studios in Nashville, TN Editing and Post at Midnight Express Studio located in Olian, NY Production Sound Design: Keith Stark Voice Over and Promo: Lisa Fuson Special Thanks to the creator and founder of the podcast, Tom Sabella, along with Traci Snow for producing and hosting over 100 episodes of the original "Business Side of Music" podcast and trusting us to carry on their legacy.

What if you aren't supposed to know what you're supposed to do next in your career until your path shows it to you!? I'm Chris Webb, joined by my co-host and the guy who I never know what he'll say next, Dave Tamkin. Today we are joined by the kind, dedicated and driving creative that is Stolie, also known to youngin's as Super Stolie. We discuss everything from how to make useful merch to how to know when to lean into opportunities that arise.Quote:So much of my music career has been influenced by just what life has happened along the way - StolieJust last summer, Governor John Hickenlooper accumulated local musicians, community leaders and financial backers to give life to his music initiative, in the form of Take Note Colorado. The aim of the initiative is to make music education and musical instruments more accessible to K-12 schools in the state. Back in May, the 1st Bank Center hosted Take Note the Concert, a fundraiser for Take Note Colorado. The star-studded evening included performances from an entirely local lineup — Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Isaac Slade of The Fray, Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Bill Nershi of the String Cheese Incident, Tracksuit Wedding and comedian Josh Blue. https://takenotecolorado.orgStolie and alter ego, Super Stolie is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and loop-pedal artist based out of Chicago, Illinois, USA. Working in the music industry for over 25 years now and performing on stages internationally, she's a seasoned pro. A constant road-warrior and absolutely fearless, Stolie immediately turns strangers into friends through her captivating, humorous and versatile live performances. We hope you find as many nuggets about life as a musician in here as we did!Action: Take 5 minutes to ask yourself this question. What has happened recently that is a new opportunity that you feel reluctant or nervous to take? Consider why it makes you feel the way it does and identify if the reason is because you're scared. It might very well be the exact thing you need to say YES to inorder to open that next door.Stolie.com

My guest today is singer-songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica dude, Nic Clark. Nic is the "chairman" of the Middle Class Rock Star guests. He's been on the show more than anyone. Five times to be exact. Three times as a guest, and twice as a co-host (17. David Dondero and 68. Mickey Raphael). His accomplishments include playing harmonica with Big Head Todd & The Monsters at Red Rocks, being a finalist in the International Blues Competition, and being the best cheerleader for all of his musical friends. His new full-length release, Love Your Life: Songs for the Whole Family, is the "Shrek" of children's albums. It's made for kids, but the parents will enjoy it just as much. It's quality music that will make you smile. What more can you really ask for in life? The record includes many special guests ranging from famous people like Charlie Hunter, to not-so-famous people like me! Nic is one of my closest friends, and I think it's obvious in our conversation.

My guest today is gospel/blues/pop singer and Colorado music mainstay, Hazel Miller. I don't know a hometown music scene without Hazel Miller. I've lived in Colorado pretty much my whole life, and she's always been at the center of the scene. She's performed worldwide with her band, played with Big Head Todd & The Monsters, backed up Al Green, James Taylor, and James Brown, and sang for four sitting presidents. In 2008, Hazel was even recognized as one of the 150 people who make Denver a better place to live. During our conversation, we chat about how she first came up in the Louisville, KY music scene, how she ended up in Denver, how she firmly believes that everything happens for a reason, and what she still hopes to accomplish in her already illustrious career.

Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Felix Jose. Top 5 hottest PGA golfers? Top five hottest listener wives? Dear Deidre.

Fair warning, this is probably my longest monologue yet. I try to keep 'em short and sweet, but I had a lot to say this week. If it's not your thing, skip ahead to about the 10 minute mark. Nic Clark is my first repeat guest on MCRS. His first appearance was in episode 5. We tired not to repeat too much, so feel free to go back and check out that interview as well. Nic was also a co-host when I interviewed David Dondero (on NPR's list of best living songwriters) in episode 17. Nic has enjoyed success as a singer/songwriter, fingerpicking guitarist and world class harmonica player. At just 24, he has performed and recorded with many popular artists including Big Head Todd & The Monsters. He also has a few records under his belt as a producer. In this episode, we talk about all that, his big move from Denver to San Jose at the end of this month, and his long battle with health and weight loss. Nic at one point weighed in at almost 400lbs. He's living in a new, much smaller body now, but still has a lot of work to do to get where he wants to be to feel healthy.

Nic has been one of my best friends since I met him six years ago. He is an acclaimed harmonica player who has sat in with the likes of Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Jason Ricci, John Nemeth and Ronnie Baker Brooks. He also is a brilliant songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist who is influenced by artists like Daniel Johnston, David Dondero and Ray Bonneville. We had a fun conversation that hit on all sorts of random musical topics, one of them being what to do when you feel stagnation.
