A #1 New York Times bestseller, Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year, and soon to be a major motion picture, this unforgettable novel of love and strength in the face of war has enthralled a generation. France, 1939 - In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France … but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive. Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can … completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others. With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France―a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

On every home game day, tens of thousands of baseball fans filter into the San Francisco Giants’ ballpark. Many of them will buy beer, and thanks to Brian Carriveau, their options now include more than the predictable lineup of macro lagers. Last season, after convincing the eco-conscious ballpark managers to allow him to sell aluminum cans, baseball fans found they could buy 16 ounces of locally-made craft beer by nearby breweries — some of which weren’t available elsewhere in the city. Carriveau is the Director of Catering at Bon Appétit Management Company, which handles food and drink menus at Oracle Park — formerly known as AT&T Park — as well as the attached Public House restaurant and a posh, members-only bar inside the park called the Gotham Club. After beginning his career in hospitality at the famed Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite, he took to San Francisco. Now with Bon Appetit, he handles concessions for an average of 40 thousand people every home game during the baseball season. It’s a busy, exciting job, not just because the Giants have won three World Series titles since he began working at the park, but also because it gives Carriveau a major league platform to share his love of craft beer with a huge audience. That’s not without its challenges. Buying alcohol for a bar is one thing; buying beer for a literal stadium full of people is quite another — and it’s Carriveau’s job to do both. Can a ballpark cater to every kind of drinker? I don’t know, but Bon Appetit is sure going to try. This is Brian Carriveau, Director of Catering at Bon Appétit Management Company for the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park. Listen in.

Packers blogger and podcaster Brian Carriveau traces his journey from teaching to sports writing to opening a new tavern and eatery in Madison. Carriveau also reflects on his book about Wisconsin's amateur baseball scene in the Home Talent League.

Nazareth is an amazing band, in from Scotlant to play a live show Friday, June 7 2013 at The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL.  Tickets start at only $29. In this conversation with the lead singer Dan McCafferty you will find out the only country on the planet that Nazareth has never played, his whiskey recommendations and also the backstory on two of the greatest rock songs of all time: Love Hurts and Hair Of The Dog.

Wow, for the second time in 6 months....a conversation with pop culture/music icon Adam Ant!  His new album "Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar In Marrying The Gunner's Daughter" has been released (in fact a double-vinyl edition came out just this week).  He is currently on tour.  He played Chicago back in October but in this conversation spills the beans about coming back! Listen to find out who Adam would like to play him in a movie about his life, how he suprised everyone (including himself) by moving to Tennessee, who he idolizes, if/when his documentaries (yes, there's TWO) will be released, if he'd get plastic surgery, and more.  One very lucky fan, Sandy Maxx, even got to sit in on this interview. I must apologize for the poor sound of my mic (technical issues arose but I didn't want to cancel this interview!).  Adam sounds fine, though!  :)

Cougar Town is back!  The season premiere is Tuesday night, 1/8/13, at 10/9c on a brand new network...TBS Very Funny. This is a show where you'll want some wine and your girfriends nearby to share the laughs.  Courteney Cox plays Jules, who newly remarried mother who has the craziest and most awesome neighbors ever.   These interviews took place in Napa Valley, where the cast and writers of Cougar Town hung out and pounded grape with DJ's from all over the country.  It was an amazing weekend...see pictures HERE.

John Taylor - founding member of  Duran Duran - just released a brand new autobiography: "In The Pleasure Groove: Love, Death & Duran Duran". Wow.  Such a great book.  If you are a Duranie you will get a more indepth peak inside the mind of one of the wisest and most honest rock stars of our generation. Besides great writing, there are a ton of rare photo's in this book. Be sure to come to the reading/signing by John Taylor at City Winery Chicago on October 30 at 5:30pm!

Adam Sandler was in Chicago for the premiere of "That's My Boy" on Thursday, June 14, 2012.  He stopped on the red carpet to chat with Cara Carriveau from 101.9 WTMX "The MIX" about what it was like to work with Andy Samdberg, who plays Adam's son in the movie. That's My Boy opens June 15, 2012.  Rated R.

American Idol just crowned Phillip Phillips the winner, and he couldn't be any more modest about it.  He's got it all...talent, drive, and even humility.  He's very humble in this interview which is refreshing from such a hugely popular artist.  His current song "Home" sold 278,000 digital copies its first week, setting an AI record...that's more downloads than any other coronation song (the official single celebrating the winner's victory) in American Idol history. Yay for Phillip!

Alanis Morisette is releasing her first album in four years.  "Havoc And Bright Lights" will be released in August, but you can already download Guardian from iTunes.  In this quick conversation she talks about the meaning of that song and album title, attatchment parenting, and how quickly she is able to write a song.

Boy, Dee Snider has done it all.  Lead singer of Twisted Sister.  Sitcoms, reality TV, broadway, father, husband...and now author.  His new book "Shut Up And Give Me The Mic" is a great read.  You'll realize how a positive attitude can get you through anything - sure worked with him! He has two book signings soon in Chicago May 13: Costco, 2745 N. Clybourn, Chicago 1p-4p May 14: Barnes and Noble, 55 Old Orchard Center, Skokie 7p Get more information at www.DeeSnider.com

Happy Holidays!  Here's is my gift to you: a rarely heard conversation with Adele before she hit it big with her album 21.  Since she can't do interviews at the moment while she continues to heal from throat surgery so this is the only audio interview with her you'll get to hear for a while. This interview was done way back in 2008.  Her first album was doing okay at time and she had recently appeared on Saturday Night Live on what turned out to be their most watched episode (thanks to an appearance from Sarah Palin during the 2008 presidential election campaign), so folks in the USA were just starting to hear about Adele. Some key moments of this conversation is very foretelling of the future.  For example, Adele jokes about how she's far too happy at the moment to write her next album because she doesn't write happy songs, so she'll need to experience life for a bit.  Eventually she went through a heartwrenching breakup that spawned her current hit album 21 which is up for several grammys!  And keep in mind that Adele is only 19 years old at the time of this interview.  Clearly she was already a very grounded, intellegent woman with globs of talent.  It's no wonder she became the international success that she is today!

Material Issue is one of my very favorite bands. It was a very sad day in 1996 when lead singer Jim Ellison took his own life.  Such a tragic event for his family and friends.  It put an instant end to a band with a very bright future.  Now, 20 years later, their infamous "International Pop Overthrow" album is being re-released and there will be a full-on concert this weekend! You can catch Material Re-Issue this Saturday, April 23rd at the Abbey Pub in Chicago. Original bassist/vocalist Ted Ansani talks about how the band got together, what it was like to lose Jim, future prospects, and even the joys of album cover art...

Holy cow...   New Kids On The Block is touring with Backstreet Boys!  They play the United Center in Chicago on June 17.  Jordan Knight describes what to expect - a total collaboration between the two bands and an amazing stage set-up.  He also chats about NKOTB's influence on the "boy band" craze and much more...

The song Love Like Woe has well over 6 million downloads on youtube (so far).  The Ready Set is actually a one-man band.  Jordan Witzigreuter writes the songs, plays the instruments, sings, etc (though he does have a band he tours with).  Besides having the worlds greatest hair Jordan also has the worlds greatest work ethic.  In this conversation he describes how he became so successful...it most certainly wasn't by luck.

According to Geoff, "after you've done so many records and so many tours, it's nice to experiment with things and kind of challenge your audience and yourself". He also talks about his wine business, comparing the process of making wine writing songs.  "Wine is kinda like making music.  You have notes that your put together that you weave into a song and you hope it's pleasing to the ear.  And with wine, you have a bunch of different grapes that you blend together to form a taste that's pleasing to the tastebuds."

Wow...Creed is back!  They split up about 6 years ago at the height of their fame.  Scott Stapp & Mark Tremonti chat about their new album, tour and how having kids brought them back together as a band.One very funny part is when Scott Stapp describes their concert history in Chicago, referring to the infamous night where he was allegedly (I wasn't there so I can't say for sure) so incoherent he couldn't remember the lyrics to any songs as a "not-so-great-night".I only had about 6 minutes with them and didn't get a chance to ask Mark Tremonti about the future of Alter Bridge...but I'm under the impression that Alter Bridge is NOT breaking up, though there's a strong rumour that their singer Myles Kennedy may be fronting the Led Zeppelin reunion tour. 

It's been a life long dream to have one-on-one conversation with Bono from U2.  This is pretty darn close!!Daniel Burrow is Bono in the greatest U2 tribute band, Elevation.We recorded this interview on a day when the real U2 was in Chicago for an intimate, private appearance.  I walked around the city with Danno and witnessed people doing double takes since he looks & walks so much like Bono...in fact, a few people asked for his autograph.  NBC5 in Chicago even filmed us.  Fun day!This is a VIDEO episode.  If you are having trouble seeing the video please click HERE to see it on youtube.

Randy Jackson is one of the most amazing performers. Not the judge from American Idol...this is the Randy Jackson from Zebra who also performs amazing concerts with an Orchestra interpreting Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Pink Floyd & The Doors.  OMG...amazing! FYI - he'll be in Milwaukee performing songs from Led Zeppelin with a full orchestra this Thursday, February 26, 2009.  Check out his full itinerary HERE. Here's his websites: www.TheDoor.com www.TheMusicOfLedZeppelin.com

Kelly Clarkson is the very first winner of American Idol and her massive success continues to grow with her current number one single, "My Life Would Suck Without You".She chats about what it was like to hear Steve Carrell scream "Kelly Clarkson!" when he got his chest waxed in 40 Year Old Virgin, she talks about not catering to the gossip blogs, and much more...

I had the pleasure of moderating the press conference for Fall Out Boy prior to the Nike+ Human Race at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL.  They talked quite a bit about their new album FOLIE A DEUX.  At the time of this press conference the album was set to be released on election day - they've since pushed back the release until 12-16-08.This is my first VIDEO podcast (vidcast?)...

The Steepwater Band is based in Chicago and they're releasing their new album "Grace and Melody" on December 2.  The new record is produced by former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford and I love it!  I had the pleasure of chatting with drummer Joe Winters in this episode of Cara's Basement.To celebrate the release of their new album, The Steepwater Band is putting on a FREE show at the Double Door in Chicago on Wednesday, November 26th (the night before Thanksgiving).

Andy Taylor wrote a new tell-all book called "Wild Boy" and shares plenty of juicy stories from his crazy history of Duran Duran.  It really was a wild time.  His book is fun to read and it was a pleasure talking to him.

This interview took place in the summer of 2008, just after Josh Kelley played a packed gig at the Taste of Chicago.  He opens up about songwriting and his musical influences.  He's a very down-to-earth guy and a fabulous singer/guitar player/songwriter!

I had the pleasure of introducing The Plain White T's for WTMX when they performed an acoustic set at Best Buy (in Downers Grove, IL) on 9-26-08.  They were fantastic and attracted a huge crowed!  Before they played I spoke with band members Dave Tirio & Tom Higgenson just before they played.  This is that conversation...(By the way, the "D" word I refer to is "Delilah" as in their hit song "Hey There Delilah")

The first 11 minutes is Duffy. We chatted on the couch in the SPIN Magazine Press Lounge backstage at Lollapalooza.  The publisher of SPIN joins us - quite fun!Next, it's Tally Hall.  I met them while in line for a porta-john.  We discovered we are both from the same home town (West Bloomfield, MI) and when I heard the name of their band it brought a smile to my face - you'll hear why in our conversation.I also interviewed another Lollapalooza artist - Dierks Bentley - a few days prior to Lollapalooza. That interview is not part of this podcast episode but you can hear it HERE.See all of my Lollapalooza pictures HERE.

O.A.R. is such a great band to see jam live. It was my pleasure to chat with lead singer Marc Roberge and get his take on what it's like to make music and why he thinks it's way cool to record his live shows.NOTE: Normally, all of my podcasts are "clean", but in this rare instance Marc let's a few "s_ _ t" words slip out - I was not able to edit them out because of temporary technical difficulties in my home studio.  This interview is virtually unedited.

Original Shooting Star member Van McLain and new lead singer Ronnie Platt are in Cara's Basement.  Van shares a lot of fun stories from the band's long history.  "Last Chance" is one of Cara's favorite songs and he explains the meaning behind it.  There's also a bit of similarity between Shooting Star and Spinal Tap...you'll hear why in this episode.The best is saved for last...please don't leave early because at the very end of the podcast you will hear the exclusive world premier of "George's Song" with Ronnie Platt on vocals!

It's impossible to pigeonhole this band's musical genre.  And you certainly cannot underestimate their wide range of songwriting abilities.  Each of their albums are so completely different from one another.  Linkin Park is simply a remarkable groups of talented individuals.  One of the best bands to experience live, too.I recently had the opportunity to participate in a press conference call (representing the Chicago Music Guide) with two of those members - Chester & Mike.  Both guys were very forthright with their answers.  Linkin Park has been touring the world promoting their current album "Minutes To Midnight" .  Their North American leg of the tour begins Febuary 12, 2008.  You'll hear a lot of juicy details about this tour, also their view on collaborating, songwriting, what it was like to work with legendary producer Rick Ruben, and much much more!
