Podcasts about birds of chicago

Nick & Helen welcome renowned Canadian singer and songwriter, Dallas Green, who performs under the moniker City and Colour. He has an unmistakable sound, both instrumentally and vocally, he's wildly popular, and we're excited to have him with us for his first visit to eTown. Also joining us for the first time is the dynamic duo Birds of Chicago, which consists of talented musicians JT Nero and Allison Russell (two emerging artists gathering a following in American Roots music). There's of course an inspiring E-Chievement Award story, this one from California; and a lot of great conversation, too. Be sure to join us!

Allison Russell is a singer and songwriter from one of my favorite cities in the world, Montreal. Her 2021 record Outside Child is nominated for three Grammys including Roots Performance, Roots Song, and Americana Album of the Year. This recognition has been a long time in the making. Outside Child is Allison's first solo record after two decades of making music with Po' Girls, Birds of Chicago, and Our Native Daughters. The result is one of my favorite records in a long time. It was such an honor to sit down with Allison for what was a magical conversation. 

This week, we launch season 4 of the show with a bilingual banjo-slinging singer-songwriter originally from Montreal and now based in Nashville: Allison Russell. After two decades of quietly creating heart-on-her-sleeve roots music in hard-touring groups like Po' Girl, Birds Of Chicago, and recently the supergroup Our Native Daughters - playing the guitar, clarinet, banjo and singing in English and French - the spotlight finally fell straight on Russell in 2021. With the help of her husband and longtime creative partner JT Nero, she released her visceral debut solo record Outside Child which confronts her traumatic childhood head on. Rarely has an album struck such a nerve in the Americana community, as songs like “4th Day Prayer” use the slippery soul of Al Green's best work and Mahalia Jackson's gospel inspiration to paint in white-knuckled detail how she escaped the abusive home of her stepfather for the graveyards and streets of Montreal. As she tells us in the intense conversation from her home in Tennessee, it was her songwriting hero Brandi Carlisle who went to bat for her (a bold Instagram DM set fate in motion,) helping get her raw, unreleased songs to Fantasy Records. Thankfully, they wanted to take a leap. Even President Obama noticed after the songs began to circulate and he put her ominous radio standout “Nightflyer” on his favorite songs of the year list. The album has since been nominated for three Grammy awards.  While Allison may feel like an “overnight sensation” to those just discovering her on AAA radio, hearing her soaring voice shining on stages from Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she's been playing hundreds of shows in small clubs and festivals around the world for twenty-two years and counting. It hasn't been an easy road, as she often had to her young daughter on the trail with her. With a new book deal in the works continuing her story where Outside Child left off, there is much more to come from Russell. A champion for the often forgotten victims of domestic and sexual abuse, listening to Russell speak reminds one more of a fiery community organizer than a singer. Did your host try and convince Russell to run for office? Maybe.Stick around to hear her dive into one of her favorite tracks from the new record, the hopeful clarinet shuffle “Poison Arrow."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-show-on-the-road-with-z-lupetin1106/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

SUMMARYOn this episode of Songcraft we're joined by three-time Grammy nominee and two-time Americana Music Awards nominee Allison Russell. She'll discuss her debut solo album, Outside Child, her long journey in the music industry leading to this moment, and her escape from childhood trauma to find resilience, joy, and healing through the art of music. PART ONEPaul and Scott discuss the worst songs they love, pay tribute to the late songwriting legend Dallas Frazier, and revisit the idea of musical discovery's happy accidents. PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with three-time Grammy nominee Allison RussellABOUT ALLISON RUSSELLCanadian-born singer-songwriter Allison Russell released her debut solo album Outside Child in 2021, but has been part of the music world for many years. She formed the band Po' Girl with Trish Klein of The Be Good Tanyas in 2003 before launching the duo Birds of Chicago with her partner JT Nero in 2012. In 2018, she joined the musical collective Our Native Daughters, which also includes Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, and Amythyst Kia. Outside Child is a highly personal album chronicling Russell's formative experiences as a survivor of physical and sexual abuse, while highlighting themes of hopefulness and resilience that have resonated with fans and critics. The project earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album, while the single “Nighflyer” earned Allison nominations for Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song. Additionally, she has been nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards, two Americana Music Awards, and has performed on stages ranging from the Grand Ole Opry to the National Museum of African American Music to Jimmy Kimmel Live! alongside Brandi Carlile. Allison recently inked a deal with Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan, which will release her forthcoming memoir. 

THE PROLOGUEThe 1898 Wilmington Massacre was a violent attack on the city's thriving African American community, one of a series of coups that took place after the Civil War. Through interviews with local historians, OA contributor KaToya Ellis Fleming investigates the backlash to Wilmington's Black leadership and the legacy of the Wilmington Massacre.IN SESSIONA performance by American folk duo Birds of Chicago from the 30A Songwriters Festival.

VICTOR WAINWRIGHT & THE TRAIN features the high-octane boogie piano and big soul sounds of vocalist and blues man Victor Wainwright, backed by one of the tightest smokin' bands on the scene. Victor's star is definitely on the rise, having won the coveted BB KING Entertainer of the Year in 2016 at Blues Music Award as well as “Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year” in both 2013 and 2014. With the release of ‘Boom Town', the band's latest record, they're poised to ignite blues/roots fans with a sound that's infectious and impossible to ignore. BIRDS OF CHICAGO is a collective built around husband and wife duo JT Nero (Chicago, IL) and Allison Russell (Montreal, QC). Since forming in 2012, they've toured internationally 10+ months of the year. Their brand of rock and roll poetry can be a little hard to categorize, for people that insist on categorizing... their voices are undoubtedly the centerpiece - Nero's fractured country soul croon is wrapped in Russell's silver and gold tones for a harmony blend that is like nothing else in music today. ‘Real Midnight' is the band's poignant new Joe Henry produced album. WoodSongs Kid: Mikaya Taylor is talented bluegrass singer from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This 12 year old is being called ”Kentucky's Singing Angel.”

Tune in as Allison Russell and JT Nero discuss their song writing process and the life experiences that inspired upcoming album, Outside Child (produced by Dan Knobler). Russell’s startlingly honest and endearing premiere solo album, to be released this Spring on Fantasy Records, allows us to imagine the beauty of possibilities and to envision the promise of an ultra-bright horizon.

Allison Russell is one half of the acclaimed roots music duo Birds of Chicago, alongside her husband JT Gray. Born and raised in Quebec, Russell survived a traumatic childhood, teaching herself various instruments as a way to cope before eventually finding her voice within the Vancouver music scene. On this episode, Russell talks with host Beth Behrs about that childhood trauma, the healing power of music and artistic community, the history of the banjo, the intersectionality of the honest conversations currently being had in our culture, and much, much more. A word to our listeners: This episode contains intense and honest descriptions of the guest's childhood trauma that may be triggering to some listeners. While there is nothing directly explicit in the content, listener discretion is advised.

Something powerful is in the air. While we may have said that after similar unrest in the past -- after Rodney King in LA, Trayvon Martin in Miami, Freddie Gray in Baltimore, and countless others -- something about what is happening now feels deeper, heavier. Maybe it's actually sinking in. From host, Z. Lupetin: I normally try to put out a new episode of The Show on the Road podcast every other Wednesday. This week, that simply wasn't possible. It was time to stop giving my endless opinions, to stop waxing poetic about harmony, to shut up about finding the meaning in every lyric and just be quiet, listen and learn. I've been lucky to talk with truly amazing Black artists, songwriters and performers in the two years I've been creating The Show on the Road. I ask you to go back into our archives and listen to these voices, including Sunny War, Bobby Rush, Birds of Chicago, Dom Flemons, Liz Vice, and The War and Treaty.

Allison (“Alli”) Russell is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in Birds of Chicago and Our Native Daughters. She is also a mother and describes herself as a “connection seeker.”I recently sat down with Alli in New Orleans, and I was so grateful to spend this hour with her. Alli has an incredibly powerful story. To me, she is a shining example of someone who has walked through darkness and come out on the other side beaming with warmth and beauty.In this episode you’ll hear Alli speak about her time in foster care, finding the strength to escape an abusive home at such a young age, on creating community, motherhood, finding love in chosen family, how music changed her life, and more.Alli is an extraordinary artist and human.

Birds Of Chicago / Americanafest 2018

Built around the electric energy of husband and wife duo Allison Russell and JT Nero, Birds of Chicago cook up a special brew of soulful rock n roll and goosebump-raising secular gospel music that is a much needed shot of pure and positive energy. The Show On The Road host Z. Lupetin had them over to his place in Los Angeles a few months back to talk about Allison's wild childhood in Monreal, their slow motion story of falling in love back in the windy city of Chicago, and how they now balance marriage and touring schedules with their adorable four year old daughter in tow. Presented by Nomad Goods.

The husband and wife folk/soul duo now residing in Nashville talk vocal maintenance, plumbing subconscious depths for material, and learning to tour smart.

This week is SOCAN reporting week. Can't believe they only monitor us twice a year! They really should monitor Campus and Community Radio FIRST, and commercial radio twice a year, IMHO! :-) So loads of Canadians featured today. Even more than I usually play. There were also mini-features on Paul Simon, Kathy Kallick, Tony McManus, and Pharis & Jason Romero - who all play in Vancouver this week. Plus music from new releases by Steve Dawson, Loreena McKennitt, Ben & Anita, Leftover Salmon, David Francey, Birds Of Chicago, and Galician singers Ialma. I also honoured Bonny Black Hare Day (May 14th)!

The amazing musical duo JT Nero and Allison Russell from Birds of Chicago join me to talk about their musical and artistic roots. Allison talks about growing up in Montreal in a strict music household, and the albums she used to get in secret from her aunt Janet. JT tells me about who has inspired his songwriting throughout the years and why he fell in love with Allison as a songwriter. They talk about the early days of the early days of their love story and why they were "afraid of being a couple," so as to not mess up their musical chemistry, and we get to hear a few of their beautiful tracks.

Bruce Cockburn, Leif Vollebekk, Mark Eitzel, Birds of Chicago and Allison Pierce perform on NPR Music & West Virginia Public Broadcasting's Mountain Stage. Episode 898 recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV.

There was a festival atmosphere in Liberty Hall on Wednesday night and not just because the crowd was large and loud (though that helped). There was also that ineffable flow and unspoken dialogue among the four bands, softly conveying the spirit of roots music in all its complimentary forms. The timeless but mysteriously innovative folk/gospel flavor of Birds of Chicago gave way to the pure mountain-tinged songwriting of Jill Andrews. The bluegrass second half paired young and hungry Billy Strings with one of his heroes, the sixtysomething but unaware of it Jerry Douglas. His band came with a jazz/grass/rock fusion mode that tickled my every musical nerve ending. Keep on the grass? Good luck with that.

JT Nero (of JT and the Clouds) and Allison Russell (of Po'Girl) " now Birds of Chicago - had been friends and mutual admirers of each other's work for years before that friendship evolved into a musical and life partnership. They released their first studio album as a duo in 2012, and then followed up quickly with a live recording in 2013. Now, they've just put out their sophomore studio recording, 'Real Midnight' produced by Joe Henry. It's the last album recorded in Henry's acclaimed Garfield House studio in South Pasadena, CA, and it showcases beautifully the pairing of JT's songwriting with Allison's powerful yet understated vocals. During their recent Northeast tour, the Birds of Chicago dodged a few blizzards and rolled into Saranac Lake, NY for a Folk Alley Session taping at Beehive Productions studio. Here, they're joined by Joel Schwartz on guitar and Chris Merrill on bass.
