Together with American Songwriter and Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Kat Edmonson over Zoom video! Edmonson’s new album Dreamers Do is out now via Spinnerette Records.Dreamers Do reached the #1 spot on Billboard’s Traditional Jazz chart, and the album debuted #1 at iTunes Jazz, #2 Most Added at Jazzweek and was named Deezer’s Album of the Week upon release.The album combines mid-20th century Disney songs (from Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Bedknobs on Broomsticks, Mary Poppins, Babes in Toyland), with familiar classics (“What A Wonderful World” as well as “All I Do is Dream of You” from Singin in the Rain), and features two new original songs from Edmonson (“Too Late to Dream” and “Someone’s In The House.”)“Dreamers Do takes place in a single night, from bedtime till morning. It's about our concepts around dreaming- all of the wonderful things and the fearful things, the things that keep us awake in the middle of the night,” Edmonson explains of the new album, “It's also about the quiet power of merely having a dream. There are interludes between the songs indicating different points in this nocturnal journey and if someone wants to listen to the entire record as an experience, it's available to them.”The LP follows the release of 2018’s Old Fashioned Gal, which Billboard calls “an intimate journey from doubt to resolve and implied triumph.” NPR Music raves the album is “a handsome showcase for her songwriting, which has grown ever more confident over the last decade,” while the Associated Press says the record “sounds like an alternate soundtrack to an Audrey Hepburn film.”In 2014 Edmonson released The Big Picture, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers, #1 on Contemporary Jazz Chart, and #2 on Total Jazz Chart. Her 2015 performance on “CBS This Morning: Saturday” garnered the program’s highest rated viewership since 2006. Her 2012 LP Way Down Low was described by The New York Times as “fresh as a spring bouquet,” and her performances at WNYC’s Soundcheck and Daytrotter were included in “Best Live Performances” and “Best Sessions of 2012,” respectively.The Texas native began crafting her signature sound while performing in Austin’s local club circuit for years before releasing her debut LP Take To The Sky in 2009. She went on to tour worldwide with high profile acts including Lyle Lovett, Chris Isaak, Gary Clark Jr., Shawn Colvin, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson, Nick Lowe and more.We want to hear from you!

Tis’ the season, y’all; this week the Buds welcome accomplished engineer, musician, studio owner, and all-around swell cat Danny Reisch to the show. Good Danny’s Studio outside of Austin is a beautiful musician’s studio that has hosted luminaries like The Zombies, The Animals, Lizzo, HAIM, 3EB, and so many more.An “analog guy ’til I die” we talk with Danny about making deliberate choices on format/medium/microphone, spending years recording Daytrotter sessions, being inspired by Back to the Future, a recently acquired MCI tape machine from Dan Duzynski, the holy trio of firsts (a studio, weed, and Ween), dreaming about Woodstock (not necessarily but maybe 99), and windows in the control room. No spoilers, but this episode contains the secret to life somewhere around the back half. AND Dave does falsetto.Also discussed: Hornet Plugins Freqs, Craigslisters selling more than drugs, buying an SVT from Uphill Recording Services, the new Bee Gees documentary Can You Mend a Broken Heart, BrandNewNoise’s Krankie, and the importance of Pet Sounds. We also take a moment to celebrate the life Josh Shapera, a man the world lost too soon.Step outside for five (even if you don’t smoke).

Sarah Slaton is a songwriter that expresses pathos both poignant and relatable (Denver Westword). An Arkansas native, Slaton taught herself to play guitar in the shadow of the Ozarks before making her way out West to Denver. Slaton founded and fronted the Colorado trio, EDISON, recognized for their tireless touring efforts. The band traveled over 150,000 miles between 2014-2018 and with a relentless DIY approach signed with Rhyme & Reason Records. Edison toured with Iron & Win, Jared & The Mill, and opened for Nathaniel Rateliff, Gregory Alan Isakov, Andrew McMahon, and Shakey Graves. The band saw national acclaim with their debut LP, Familiar Spirit, with positive reviews from Consequence of Sound, No Depression, and features on Daytrotter, Jam In The Van, and Relix Sessions. Slaton stepped out with her first solo single with a summer-ready tune, Dance In The Sun. The song channels Fleetwood Mac with its multi-layered vocals and vintage guitar tones. The Colorado artist flew to Los Angeles to work with Lewis Pesacov (Local Natives, Nikki Lane) who produced and engineered the co-write. His neighbor, Garrett Ray (Vampire Weekend), swung by to lay down the drums. The Colorado artist heads into 2020 with collaboration on the mind after assembling a band of friends who join Slaton on stage. Mainstays are Sarah Joelle (of Lola Rising) on the keys, Lief Sjostrom on the cello, Matt Fink on the drums, and Kind Dub, a socially conscious hip-hop duo, joining festival sets featuring their collaboration tracks, "Water In The Well", "Limited Time" and "Elevated Life”. Bobby is joined by Sarah & her dog Copeland to discuss, Touring, Colorado, Music, Red Rocks Amphitheater, outdoor life, Covid-19 & much more.

Today is the first episode of a new mini series I will be doing where we will be featuring some of our artists during this time of quarantine. My first guest is Kat Edmonson and we actually had Kat on the show almost exactly 2 years ago so if you like what you hear today then please check out that interview which is episode 34 (http://www.speakingofthearts.com/episode34/). Today, I speak with Kat to learn about some of the unique things she is doing from home to stay creative and active as an artist. For example, Kat has created a new live show that she streams from her apartment in NYC every Sunday night at 7PM Eastern. You can tune into Facebook to catch that and you can also check out her new website http://www.kat.live where she is archiving each episode as well as other new content. Our conversation is wide ranging and covers a lot of topics and emotions that I would imagine many artists are going through right now so I hope everyone finds this helpful. On a side note, I wanted to update everyone who listened to our last episode with Brice Rosenbloom where we highlighted the Jazz Coalition Commission Fund (https://www.jazzcoalition.org/). As I record this, the fund has raised over $25,000 so thank you to everyone who is supporting it. More on Kat: Dreamers Do, Kat Edmonson’s 2020 record, explores the common human struggles around daring to dream, including a range of emotional and psychological consequences. The album begins with a promising invitation to settle in for the night and dream. Joy and magic are revealed before an eventual left turn is taken, and a wild night ensues. A question gets raised in Kat’s vulnerable original, “Too Late to Dream”: “Are the messages we receive as children about following our dreams relevant through adult life?” Self-despair is explored, however all doubts are ultimately laid to rest in a stunning duet with guitarist Bill Frisell on the song “Age Of Not Believing.” Dreamers Do follows the release of 2018’s Old Fashioned Gal, which Billboard calls “an intimate journey from doubt to resolve and implied triumph.” In 2014 Edmonson released The Big Picture, which debuted at 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers, 1 on Contemporary Jazz Chart, and 2 on Total Jazz Chart. Her 2015 performance on “CBS This Morning: Saturday” garnered the program’s highest rated viewership since 2006. Her 2012 LP Way Down Low was described by The New York Times as “fresh as a spring bouquet,” and her performances at WNYC’s Soundcheck and Daytrotter were included in “Best Live Performances” and “Best Sessions of 2012,” respectively. The Texas native began crafting her signature sound while performing in Austin’s local club circuit for years before releasing her debut LP Take To The Sky in 2009. She went on to tour worldwide with high profile acts including Lyle Lovett, Chris Isaak, Gary Clark Jr., Shawn Colvin, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson, Nick Lowe and more.

Raye Zaragoza (pronounced ray zay-rah-GO-zah) is an award-winning singer/songwriter who carries an acoustic guitar and a message. Her quiet yet powerful song “In the River,” written in response to the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota, garnered half a million video views, national media coverage, and a Global Music Award and Honesty Oscar. Her forthcoming sophomore LP recorded with Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, First Aid Kit) will be released in 2020.  Raye’s debut album, Fight For You (independent, 2017), displays her compassion, dedication to justice and equality for all, and keen eye for the seemingly small daily moments that become our most meaningful memories.  Raye performs her music all over the United States and Europe. Her music has been featured on Billboard, Popmatters, Earmilk, Democracy Now! and on numerous lists of the best modern-day protest songs, including those by Paste Magazine, What Culture, and Overblown. She has also performed live sessions for Paste, Daytrotter, and FNX. Raye shares how she used to be ashamed of herself for being mixed race but when she started seeing other women of color stepping up and owning their true selves, Raye became inspired to do the same and is proud of who she is.

Acid Dad first appeared in the New York scene at the outset of 2015. After spending the year self-releasing demos recorded at their studio in upstate New York, the band garnered local praise from the likes of Oh My Rockness, Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence of Sound and Stereogum. After releasing their debut EP “Let’s Plan a Robbery” in February of 2016, followed by their first sold out show at Baby’s All Right, Acid Dad embarked upon a two month tour of the United States. Fresh off their first tour, which included numerous SXSW performances as well as appearances on Daytrotter, Audiotree and Jam in the Van, the band headed straight back to work in their upstate New York recording studio. While recording, Acid Dad continued to play one-offs alongside their contemporaries including Thee Oh Sees, Diarrhea Planet, Night Beats and White Reaper. At the outset of 2017 the band began writing, demoing and recording with the intention of creating their debut full length. Now part of the Greenway Records family, the album is slated for a Spring 2018 released followed by a world-wide tour. •••• The B-Side Podcast is produced by Charlie Hoxie, Kecia Cole, Ro Johnson and Sachar Mathias; recorded by Onel Mulet and Steve de Seve; and edited by Emily Boghossian and Khyriel Palmer.

Three new festivals debut in the Quads this weekend — Alternate Currents and the OMG Becky Fest in downtown Davenport and Top Rock in Rock Island — and Sean has the lowdown on all of them as well as the Smoking Popes at Daytrotter, Moonlight Fest in Silvis, Little Conductors Day and more in your […]

On the cover of his breakthrough album Silver Tears, Aaron Lee Tasjan is a zen looking rhinestone cowboy, blazing with light in a mirror ball suit. On the stereo, his music blazes with quirky observations, lush romanticism and psychedelia. He's one of the most fascinating country rockers in Americana music, and this hour he sits down with a Nashville DJ who knows him well. Since moving to Music City in 2013  Aaron Lee Tasjan has grown in stature and renown in two simultaneous, mutually reinforcing ways. In traditional fashion, he's been praised by critics and curators, landing media spots like Daytrotter sessions and NPR. And on the inside track, he's become a beloved enabler of the EAst Nashville music renaissance, collaborating and supporting lesser-known artists and side musicians. People just really really like the guy. He's self-effacing and mellow. So it's almost shocking when you see him on stage, his mirrored suit sparkling, making moody, sensuous, tuneful country rock and roll. The album's uptown artsy qualities become a lot more comprehensible when you learn that Tasjan came to Music City after many years establishing himself in New York, where he was in several well loved bands, including - as a sideman anyway - glam punk icons the New York Dolls. And that's all after turning down a scholarship to study jazz guitar at the Berklee College of Music. This is one multi-faceted musician. This week, I cede the microphone to my friend and Nashville radio colleague Gina Frary Bacon for an in-depth conversation with Tasjan. She's a DJ on independent radio station WXNA and a career TV producer who's had plenty of experience herself with the New York music scene.  Also, Berklee College of Music's Panos Panay on the latest in Music, Money and Metadata.   

Sean talks about Skellington Swerve, a trio of great bands playing at Daytrotter, the new video debut by Kalispell, cajun cook-off at Figge, WWE at the i wireless and a lot of other great events going on in the Quads this weekend!

With over 25 shows on record, Many Places fields an energetic set of indie folk rock. In addition to local Chicago venues including the Empty Bottle, Schubas and Lincoln Hall, they’ve been featured on Daytrotter, WXRT’s Local Anesthetic and performed at an unofficial SXSW Brooklyn Vegan day party during their time together since 2010. These long-time friends gather every week to write and rehearse in their practice space in Logan Square.

Sean looks at the various Oktoberfests, 5Ks, comedy shows and other cool stuff going on this weekend, including the local debut of perhaps one of the coolest bands he’s ever seen, Magic Sword, at Daytrotter.

Me with Brandon and Justin of The Rocketboys and their Golden Fork AwardBrandon Kinder and I go back quite a few years. Not only did we attend the same university, but we helped cultivate a growing indie music culture in Abilene, Texas. In 2005 the music scene here was on the verge of really exploding. Over a decade later, the music culture continues to expand in my West Texas town. Brandon took his band The Rocketboys to international indie fame, and relocated to Austin. There the band has shifted members and created some outstanding new music, including The Appetizer Radio Show Golden Fork Award-Winning album 20,000 Ghosts.Brandon isn't just the frontman for the band who has played Austin City Limits, Daytrotter, and other prime indie spotlight gigs. He also has a solo project called The Wealthy West, which is the result of years of songwriting for The Rocketboys with music that never made it to light. The story behind the creation of the Wealthy West (as well as how he came upon that great music brand name) is in this podcast episode.With his side project The Wealthy West releasing a brand new album this year, and with the growing success of The Rockeboys, Brandon was an ideal candidate to bring on the podcast. He's a fantastic songwriter, and proof that you can create great music in a small town and go on to do very big things. Our conversation in the podcast dives into stories behind the songs, including his obsession with ghosts real and figurative, what it takes to get good band managers, and why songwriting has to remain pure to be effective.I encourage you to also dive into the newest album by The Wealthy West, which is currently being showcased across the country on a variety of great indie music platforms (including my own). The album Long Play is available for streaming here.

Recorded live on September 2, 2015. “I was born on the side of the mountain” — sings the opening line of Carl Anderson’s new album Risk of Loss. Born at home in rural Virginia’s Wolftown and raised in Charlottesville, Carl grew up at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. Son of a wandering, freighthopping father and a mother who worked two jobs to support the family, Carl understood the importance of hard work at an early age. His house was full of music, with parents who sang old folk songs and kept Joni Mitchell, Stephen Foster and Jim Reeves on the stereo. Carl has quickly become a staple at Virginia festivals, logging two appearances each at Campout East and The Festy Experience in addition to Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Misty Mountain Music Fest, Red Wing Roots and Crozet Music Festival. He was selected as a finalist for Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s “Telluride Troubadour” songwriting contest and thereafter recorded a Daytrotter session. Twenty-seven years old and living in Nashville, Tennessee, Carl often performs as a duo alongside his wife Ellen. The couple hopes to tour extensively throughout the country and share songs with whomever is willing to listen. Carl’s evocative ...

Sat 07.18.15 Soul Circle Radio Presents Diggin in the Crates Vol.2 with special guest AM #128 AM is an American songwriter, musician, composer and producer born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, raised in New Orleans, and currently residing in the Los Angeles Echo Park neighborhood in California.

Known for his seamless fusing of pop, soul, funk and world music, recording artist AM has released several critically acclaimed albums and toured the world. His newest collaboration with London artist/producer Shawn Lee, has been described by Rolling Stone as "hypnotic" and by Daytrotter as “intricate, groove-filled dreamscapes that are every bit organic and every bit mad genius."

I am extremely excited to bring you this conversation I had with Sean Moeller, the creator of Daytrotter, one of the most prolific and important sites in documenting independent music. We discuss individual music tastes, small town living and the curation process. This episode is brought to you in conjunction with Propertyofzack.com and is part of the How We Are Podcast Network (howweare.org).

Although Sean Moeller has a soft spot for barns and horses, he’s no “Iowa Farm Boy.” The man behind Daytrotter is a bearded ex-track star and ex-sports writer from the University of Iowa, who in addition to being a well mannered family man, happens to have a knack for looking into the eyes of a song, wielding his crafty word-sword, and writing incredibly colorful essays about the songs and artists from around the world who pass through the Daytrotter studio. Sean is a down to earth dude who doesn’t take himself or his talent for writing too seriously. He is a living example of his own philosophy about rock stars and famous people..telling me during the interview, he realized early that “they’re just people.” He’s just a person that sits down at the table and has breakfast with his kids, grabs a coffee, and heads out to Rock Island to record potentially the next Foster The People, Dallas Green, Charlie Pride or Naughty By Nature. It’s impossible to write about Sean Moeller without writing about Daytrotter, and that’s not discounting the man.. or the person he is, but to the contrary.. one can attribute the success of Daytrotter to Sean’s loyalty to his vision and poise; even in the presence of musical greatness. Phil, Pat Stolley, Mike Gentry and the entire team, in conjunction with Sean’s high standards that have been baked into the machine that is the Horseshack Studio; all work together in concert to sustain what we know to be the appealing web presence of Daytrotter.com. …”The thing I went to school for was to be a writer.. it’s always been my first love, so I always knew that I still wanted to write; but I wanted to write about what I wanted to write about, instead of being told..what to write about. Obviously music is a big gigantic passion of mine and it would be nice to do both.” - Sean Moeller I bet if you cornered Sean or any die-hard fan of music, you could get them to admit that music was their first love. Music is stirring and like a sensory time capsule, it carves its initials into the tree of our childhood and teen years; with each listen of our favorite song and favorite album.. dropping melodic memory bread-crumbs that today lead us back to the mile-markers of growing up. I remember being 15 making my first mix-tape; fast forward..stop..fast forward, playing and listening carefully.. auditioning every song before deeming it worthy of adding it to the carefully compiled compilation and passing it to a friend on the bus after school. Sure, once in a while you stumble on a complete album that is solid all the way through like a Pink Floyd “Animals,” “The White Album” “Purple Rain” or Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” but more often than not, lovers of music enjoy using our own sonic-art taste gauge developed over the years in our messy bedroom laboratory, to pick the cherries we like to hear, collect, and share. In 2006 I was searching online for music that would be suitable for my summer mix-tape CD and when doing a search for the band Limbeck, my eyes tripped on this website titled Daytrotter.com. The first thing I remember noticing is the hand-drawn cartoon illustrations of the bands, and I believe one of those bands was Dressy Bessy. In addition to providing recordings of live sessions featuring original songs, Daytrotter’s Johnnie Cluney, with every session, draws up illustrations or cartoon drawings of the band members which really brands the Daytrotter product and makes for an authentic bundle warranting at least… 1000+ Fonzi Points. Finding Sean Moeller’s Daytrotter.com was exciting because it was like casting out your Google-rod and reeling in exactly the fish you were hoping to catch. I started downloading every single session and making my own Best of Daytrotter September, October, Daytrotter Summer 07, Daytrotter IKEA Road-Trip Mix, etc. I can recall emailing daytrotter, feeling grateful, explaining that I couldn’t find the donation link and asking them how I can donate. I believe it was Sean Moeller who wrote me back and the email read something to the effect: We don’t really ask for donations but if you want to donate.. you can. It’s been interesting watching little Daytrotter grow into this big popular cult-source for new music and binary audio showcase for the classic artists of yesteryear. In our travels at SXSW, bands commonly reference Daytrotter and in my experience, you don’t find too many artists who haven’t done a daytrotter session or at least have a session scheduled. Sean, being a loyal Alabama fan, doesn’t like his taste in music to be limited to “indie” music, and we have a good exchange about the selective music fan/hipster conflation. Sean explains in the interview “I like all music.” “If there’s a leaning in Daytrotter towards indie music, it’s simply because indie-bands tour the most. They tour the most.. they get into a van and they drive around. ” It’s not that unusual to find a session by a Country artist or a Hip Hop Rap act, but Daytrotter, having a substantial leaning towards textbook “indie” bands, has functioned as a hunter-gatherer of appealing unusual independent music; making it easier for music junkies with eclectic taste to compile enough mixtapes to last 99 lifetimes. Daytrotter.com offers a feature for members to cherry pick their favorite session tracks and compile a virtual mixtape on line, signified by an old school cassette illustration. I continue to reference mixtapes because Daytrotter allows the 8th grade concert T-wearing nerd in all of us..to live on, and I think Sean comes from that nostalgic place and shares the spirit of that adolescent sentiment. Daytrotter fills the shoes of both the BMG Cassette Club and Hit Parader magazine, facilitating a pipeline for the consumption of new bands and new sounds bundled with all the juicy details about the weird bass player or the inspiration behind your favorite song lyric. Daytrotter also uploads their session recordings at 320kb which is very appealing to the modern day audiophile. It’s my feeling that Daytrotter is still.. merely a device to connect Sean to great music and to continue to recreate opportunities to write about what he wants to write about, and the pay-for membership is merely a device to pay the bills and continue introducing great music to the world. Much of Daytrotter comes from a place of a sentiment for vintage times and vintage things. He has a vinyl heart and I look at Daytrotter.com just as I would a friendly gesture; a regenerative artesian mixtape that Sean Moeller and the Daytrotter crew pass to me every day, on the bus of the world wide web. – jm www.daytrotter.com SESSIONS at http://www.daytrotter.com My Brightest Diamond Dawes Pearl and The Beard William Elliot Whitmore

On Sundays I don't do anything useful until noon.  I read the paper, listen to music, read a book, sort & catalog my mp3's, sit out on the deck, etc. This mix is a soundtrack for Sunday mornings.  Some instrumental tunes, some vocal tracks.  All of it mellow & laid back.  Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. When I did my first Sunday morning mix I wasn't really sure if I even liked it.  Then it turned out to be the most listened to mix I've ever had at Mixcloud.  Go figure. Vol. 2 starts with one of my favorite songs of all time, John Martyn's "Small Hours".  I think that was the tune that got me into John Martyn in the first place.  There are several covers in the mix.  The most unusual being Evan Chapman's percussion cover of Bon Iver's Holocene.  Evan has a bunch of videos up on his youtube channel that are worth watching.  One of my favorites is "Opening" by Philip Glass.  I'll definitely have to work some more Evan's covers into other mixes. Speaking of Bon Iver, there's another cover in the mix with Peter Gabriel doing "Flume" and then Gabriel gets covered by Twin Shadows doing "Here Comes the Flood."  And we have another Bon Iver tune, this time done live by Justin Vernon & Sean Carey for 4AD sessions. There are two other tracks also taken from live sessions, Daughter - In The Shallows from a Daytrotter session and Iron & Wine - Tree by the River from a 4AD session.  All three live tunes are cool because they are so organic & intimate. Enjoy volume 2 in the Sunday morning music series.

Landon and Greg from the Omaha band Little Brazil join me in the studio and bring along some songs from their upcoming album "Son". We talk about how that band has grown from 4+ years of playing and touring together. Now signed to Anodyne Records, Little Brazil is set to embark on press and touring behind what seems to be their strongest material to date. Listen in as we talk about the songwriting and recording process of "Son", how the band has evolved over the years, facial hair, and exactly what NOT to do as a band on tour.

Duster Knuckle was moved to the ends of the earth at the last Phosphorescent show at Schubas, especially by the band’s opening song, Wolves. This is our cover of that wonderful song. We’re not going to pretend that it does the original any justice, it was something we felt like trying. Check out Phosphorescent’s Daytrotter sessions

We have covered the events of Standing Rock in many ways, interviewing filmmakers, historians rally marchers, and water protectors on the front lines. But today you will hear from a woman who’s music has cemented a moment in history and created a reverberation of action on a global scale. Raye Zaragoza is a young, multi-talented activist at the forefront of the movement for indigenous rights and environmental justice. Her music has redefined the “protest song” and sparked meaningful dialogue around empathy for the earth as well as empathy for each other. Raye’s music has been featured on various outlets like Daytrotter, Jam in the Van, Indian Country Media Network, and most recently by Cyndi Lauper on Spotify. In this episode you will hear clips from some of my favorite tracks as well as Raye’s words on the ties between culture and land, and finding strength in womanhood through the power of song.
