Podcast appearances and mentions of claude coleman

Rahm Mandelkorn has been playing music in Western North Carolina and beyond for the past 23 years. Rahm Squad is his project that includes some of the best players in/around Asheville, NC. He was also the guitarist that Claude Coleman, Jr. of Ween chose for his solo project, Amandla (also with Yahzay on drums). I've been a fan of the Monday night crew at 5 Walnut Wine Bar in downtown Asheville for a while now. In fact, I've had each of those players on the podcast. Go back and listen to Jaze "Yahzay" Uries on episode 1, Caromia on episode 5, and Danny Iannucci on episode 12.  I was lucky enough to play with Rahm during the early funk jam at One Stop in Asheville a few weeks ago. It was a blast.Go see Rahm Squad at Eulogy in Asheville with Sugar Bomb and balm. on February 3rd, 2024 at 7pm!  GET TICKETS HERE!Links:His album, Sojourn, on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0pWmKwQKrlPnpuSyixy9xD?si=STk68pRCR-eke3_QqDuo_wClaude Coleman, Jr's project supported by Rahm: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6ntFg3SNXDIEfnUXGnG7f5?si=krELQunMSVm5bauSR5fUXQIG: @rahmsquadFB: RahmSquadYoutube: Rahm Squad Live WNCW Studio B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMJXkiX-MEYRahm Squad Live I Am AVL at Salvage Station 2/10/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-u6VPYnZzA

Adam Chase has been playing music all his life. He and his brother, Matthew Chase, headed the band Black Eyed Susan from high school through college that caught the attention of so many ears. This allowed them the opportunity to play with artists like Aerosmith, Crosby, Still & Nash, Wyclef Jean and many more.  Since then he developed talent as music director, composer, and band leader and continues to create incredible tribute projects like Jazz is Phish, The James Brown Dance Party, and A Family Affair (tribute to Sly & The Family Stone). He also created Dab Sessions to celebrate improvisation.  These projects have allowed him to collaborate with some of the best musicians of our era including Jeff Sipe, Adam Deitch, Domi and JD Beck, Jonathan Scales, Jeff Coffin, Felix Pastorius, Clyde Stubblefield, Dennis Chambers, Billy Martin, and Claude Coleman, Jr.  The list goes on.After sitting down to talk with him it became clear to me that he has been able to work with so many greats, not just because he's a great musician (and he is), but also because he has focused on developing and cultivating relationships. It's clear he's not just in it for himself. Check out his latest band, Chess Club, where he and Danny Darress inject humor into well crafted melodies and rhythms.

The drummer of Ween is also the co-founder of SoundSpace, a former motel converted into a band rehearsal studio.

Click here This episode of The Five Count featured an exclusive interview with musician Claude Coleman Jr. Claude is best known as the drummer for the band Ween. Playing on albums like The Mollusk, White Pepper and Chocolate and Cheese, Claude has been a member of Ween for nearly 30 years. During the show he discussed his years in Ween, the various other bands he plays with, and his studio SoundSpace@Rabbit's in Asheville, North Carolina. Swing by if you're in the neighborhood! During the rest of the show we discussed setting up our own 1-900 number, Ton told us how he uses Dungeons & Dragons for dating purposes, and we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Ween's The Mollusk album. We played the whole damn thing! https://youtu.be/ssxSc2ABQn8

There's so much more to the Ween world than just Ween, and this episode is the first in a new series about all the various Ween side gigs and solo projects. To kick things off, we're diving deep into Claude Coleman's solo project Amandla. Claude got his start in music as a teenager back in the 80's with a band called Skunk, and has played in a myriad of bands and projects, most famously as the drummer for Ween, but also in Eagles of Death Metal, Chocolate Genius, with Angelo Moore in Brand New Step, just to name a few. His drumming skills are near mythical, but what many don't realize is that Claude is a multi-instrumentalist, and is nearly as comfortable on a guitar or bass as he is on his kit. He also is one helluva songwriter, and this is where this episode comes in! You see, Claude also has his own solo project, Amandla, where he literally IS the band. For Amandla, Claude does it all, with just a smattering of help from various musicians. For this episode, we talk about how Amandla got started, with songs written as far back as the late 80's, to the “formation” of the band in ‘99, when Claude finally got access to a quality studio, as well as the impact his accident had on his solo work. We then talk about each of his three solo albums, Falling Along (2001), Full Catastrophe (2006), and the more recent Laughing Hearts (2018). Yes, there's been some time between each one, but Claude puts a lot of work into Amandla, and the results are definitely worth listening to! I don't want to say too much here because you really should listen to the episode! Enjoy! PS: We did a lot of research for this episode, and didn't come up with all this shit on our own.

Join us, Weenheads, as we rundown our episodes from 2020! 2020 has been one upside down year for sure, with the pandemic, election anxieties, racial injustice and civil unrest, and so a third of the way through the year, we had no idea what to expect out of the podcast. Well, we both were fortunate to not get laid off or out of work as a result of the pandemic, and it turned out being stuck at home all this time provided plenty of time for remote podcasters such as ourselves to practice their craft. So we are happy to look back, and see that we pulled off a hell of a year. We produced more episodes in a year than ever before, had several amazingly awesome and unforeseen interviews, expanded our Patreon offerings patreon.com/weencastpodcast ,and had our highest listenership ever. If 2020 was a bronco buck at a Wyoming rodeo, then we took the bull by the horns and rode it for all it was worth! First and foremost, we want to say thank you to all our fans, patrons, and contributors. And thank you to Ween, without whom we wouldn't be doing this podcast at all. Extra super duper thank yous to: Claude Coleman, Mike Maronna, Fred Moore aka August Forming, The Reverend B'ill, Tomato Eleven, Kenny from Earfloss, Brian for the awesome digital artwork, and Travis at West Brandywine WoodWorks. Also, huge shoutouts and thank yous to the following patrons and contest participants: Mike, Miles, Daniel, Spencer, Dan, Corrine (Rin) aka Rin the Red, Cody, Michelle, Rich, Ben, Andre/Matter, Laura, Helen, Shawn, Rick, Sonya, Eli, and Jim. Thank you and dog bless! In 2020, we covered four ween shows: 5/27/2000, The Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA; 7/21/2000, Metropol, Pittsburgh, PA; 03/23/2001, The Tradewinds, Sea Bright, NJ, and 04/06/2001, The Norva, Norfolk, VA. The first two were from a post White Pepper spring tour in 2000 featuring the quintet at the height of their powers, while the latter two were from a brief Glenn-free tour in 2000 that showcased the hard rocking, heavy metal side of Ween. In the category of rockumentary, we put out a double episode of our interview for the podcast Earfloss by Kenny, and as 2020 was the 20th anniversary of White Pepper, we also rocked out an episode covering the story of its creation, behind the scenes, influences, discussions of the songs, and the albums place in the annals of Ween. We rarely actually plan interviews, but in 2020, interviews kind of fell in our lap. We interviewed Fred Moore, aka August Forming, taper legend and member of Bill and Fred's Excellent Adventure, Claude Coleman, who needs no introduction www.soundspaceavl.com, and Michael C. Maronna, former actor and huge Ween fan. We are incredibly honored to have interviewed these guys. Check them out, the episodes speak for themselves! For the first time ever, we ran a contest and it concluded in our Summer Spectacular Fan Story Contest episode in September. What a blast! It was gratifying to have so many submissions that we actually had to be selective. And it was awesome collaborating with West Brandywine WoodWorks to offer an amazing handcrafted, Boognish emblazoned cutting board to the winner. Congratulations Helen, aka Ween Lebowski! I guess that just about covers it. What a crazy year. Thanks again for listening. Here's to a great new year!

Rory and Shane are humbled, excited and quite frankly, honored, to welcome “Jimmy Wilson” himself, Claude Coleman Jr., to the show!! Claude is not only the amazing drummer and backbone of Ween, he is also an amazing writer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. Over the past few years he has not only released another amazing record for his own project Amandla, amandlanet.net, but has started his own music rehearsal space business in Asheville North Carolina, Soundspace@Rabbit's. soundspaceavl.com Soundspace@Rabbit's is a renovated, historical motel originally known as Rabbit's Tourist Court and was a popular stop among black artists on the 'Chitlin' Circuit' as it was black owned and part of the Green Book since the 1930's. Claude explains how he and his business partner and have worked tirelessly to obtain and renovate this once glorious property back to its original luster and then some. When fully completed, Soundspace@Rabbit's will not only be a music rehearsal space, arts studio and mural gallery, but will also feature a re-created soul food kitchen (as Rabbit's Tourist Court originally had) headed by Chef Clarence Robinson. facebook.com/CookingComedyCatering/ Claude tells his story of moving to Asheville, the need he found for a functioning rehearsal space, learning the history of the property and how the project grew and changed from its inception to opening. We also discuss the Black Lives Matter movement, issues surrounding intergenerational wealth throughout the black community, and about the feeling related to the statues and monuments of the South. Claude and the guys also get into chatting about Donovan, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and the Rolling Thunder Revue documentary. There is a part 2 to this conversation which is available on our Patreon at patreon.com/weencastpodcast where we discuss Amandla on vinyl, playing with Angelo Moore and Brand New Step, his take on switching from drums to bass, his approach to songwriting, one of his original bands “Skunk”, and how he joined Ween!

In the 1950s and '60s, the Rabbit Motel in Asheville's South Slope drew touring black musicians to the four tiny rooms out back and the soul food restaurant facing McDowell Street. On Saturday, the motel launched its new life as SoundSpace , with the four motel rooms converted to rehearsal studios for bands to rent by the hour or month, with plans to refurbish and reopen the soul food restaurant in about a year. "Every single side, all faces and all square areas, are going to be covered with murals kind of depicting the history of rabbits here, depicting the history of South Side and the other Black Asheville communities," said Claude Coleman, longtime drummer for the band Ween and a co-developer of SoundSpace. "We're creating a cultural landmark with this property." The opening of SoundSpace follows the launch in October of Citizen Vinyl , a vinyl records pressing plant in the former Citizen-Times building downtown. These are uplifting developments for a local music scene beset by

Dave Dreiwitz was born in NY to traditional jazz musician parents, Richard and Barbara Dreiwitz. His father plays trombone and his mother plays tuba. In 1983, at the age of seventeen, Dave joined the Hoboken, New Jersey based psych rock band Tiny Lights, his first professional band out of high school. In 1986, while attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, he met fellow schoolmate and drummer Scott Byrne and through a love of similar music, they started the rock band Instant Death in 1991. Instant Death dissolved with the passing of Byrne in 2005. In 1997, Dave joined Ween. Dave also performs in The Marco Benevento Trio, Joe Russo's Almost Dead, The Dean Ween Group and the Led Zeppelin instrumental tribute band, Bustle in Your Hedgerow. He occasionally plays bass with Chris Harford and the Band of Changes, Old Rugged Sauce as well as in his own drum and bass duo, Crescent Moon, which features Dreiwitz on bass and vocals alongside various guest drummers. Crescent Moon drummers have included Claude Coleman of Ween, Tomato from the Sound of Urchin, Eric Slick of Dr. Dog and Joe Russo of Furthur.  

“It’s very difficult for black music artists to play around, and try different genres and styles of art, because they are very regimented into one kind of close minded idea… especially for musicians. There is only a handful of black guys playing guitar that you can think of who are popular,” states Ween’s Claude Coleman, jr. in this incredible conversation featuring two local music legends, who are now business partners. Brett Spivey of Inspected by 13 and Claude are seeking funding and donations, opening the first music rehearsal facility ever in Asheville. Once the mission is complete, Brett plans to open Holy Spirits Brewing, converting an old church into a nano brewery. At the 38:53 mark, Ben Survant of Natural Born Leaders can be heard artfully singing and playing his acoustic, saving our listeners from complete and utterly boring chat. Alas, Rick Rice and Keith Laguna keep the conversation spirited, as Tommy Green stumbles his way through hosting the 63rd installment of Drink Local Now.

Mountain Ale and Lager Tasters (MALT) meets at Sierra Nevada’s upstairs play room for good times and really good home brew drinking. Founded in the late 20th century, the group exudes the essence of our vibrant and often weird Western North Carolina community. Discussed in yet another scintillating podcast hosted by Crowler Chris Power and Tommy Green, is the fine art of making home brewed craft elixirs. Guests include pharmacist Joe Rafferty, Trevor Gwillim of CARZ, sour brewer Justin Breitzke, and international welder Erich Seigler. And…… (drum roll) least we not forget Ted Clevenger of Asheville Brewers Supply? He’s become a regular! Our theme song is by Electric Gremlin, featuring Jay Armant, jr. of Fishbone fame.

Rick Rice crossed the 100 minute mark, without breaking the seal, setting a new World record. A seasoned veteran of broadcasting UNCA basketball, and Asheville Tourists baseball, he often sits for hours without relieving himself. Rick lasted 104 minutes, 34 seconds, never leaving the podcast to whiz, pounding delicious craft beer from Catawba Brewing the entire time. Rick’s dedication to performance and our show was truly admirable. Elk hunter Ben Wiggins graciously hosts the Drink Local Now team at the SoSlo tasting room, keeping the conversation lively and the craft beer flowing. Listen up to our longest, and dare say, most entertaining podcast to date.

The sign is hanging in French Broad River Brewery and dates back to before The Green Man buy out by Dennis. Green Man started in the back of Jack of Wood, but they weren’t the only ones who started there. Born around the same time, French Broad River Brewery started there, as well. In episode #0060 of Drink Local Now we are honored to be drinking craft beer with head brewer Aaron Wilson of French Broad, and Ted Clevenger of Ashevile Brewers Supply. Chris and Tommy are humbled by the knowledge of these Asheville craft beer legends, whose brewing relationship dates back a decade. Lots to be learned by listening, as Tommy points out, “I need to learn to shut the f*ck up!”

Fantasy Crime novelist, Matt Broadway, and Hendo guitar legend Eric Congdon join us at Monte’s Taproom for Homeplace Beer Company pint night. Tommy Green is an emotional mess, having fallen prey to social media reckoning. Chris Power takes the helm and artfully guides the dialogue. Matt brought us craft beer from the newly opened Triskelion Brewing Company, where Jonathon Ayers of Drink Local Now lore, is the master of brewing.

In this podcast I talk to Claude Coleman who is best known for his work with ween, who he’s played for since the band’s inception in 1984.  Although Ween has been a steady gig for most of career, Coleman has branched off to compile an impressive studio and touring career over the past 25+ years.
