We are so excited to talk with Americana Showcase Artist Pi Jacobs. Pi has her own roots-rockstyle that she is compelled to share, she doesn't feel like it's a choice, she has to “get it out”.  Pi Jacobs is a lifer. Born in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, she's spent two decadesonstage and on the road, creating a rhythmic, rootsy sound that's every bit asdiverse as her own upbringing.     Pi Jacobs draws inspiration from her unconventional upbringing in “The Land of Weed and Wine” aka Northern California. Blending roots-rock swagger and storytelling soul, hermusic has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, Dolly Parton, and Lucinda Williams. She has been heard on NPR, DittyTV, Austin Music TV, Americana Highways, American Songwriter Magazine, and regularly on tastemakers KCSN, WFUV and stations across the nation.     Check her out here:  Website: Pijacobs.com  Facebook: Pi Jacobs  IG: Pi Jacobs  YouTube: Pi Jacobs  

Today on The Arwen Lewis Show - Arwen welcomes Pi Jacobs! Pi Jacobs draws inspiration from her unconventional upbringing in “The Land of Weed and Wine” aka Northern California. Blending roots-rock swagger and storytelling soul, her music has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, Dolly Parton, and Lucinda Williams. Armed with an old Gibson, a “sultry” (Claremont Courier) “explosive” (Glide Magazine) voice, and a thumping homemade stomp box, Pi creates a show that is a fun, high energy, affair. Glen Starkey (New Times SLO), writes: "You'll forget your problems for a few hours” Pi's music has been heard on NPR, DittyTV, Austin Music TV, Americana Highways, American Songwriter Magazine, and regularly on tastemakers KCSN, WFUV, and stations across the nation. https://pijacobs.com The Arwen Lewis Show Host | Arwen Lewis Executive Producer | Jeremiah D.

Amy Wright sits down with acclaimed singer-songwriter, much-admired activist, and champion of civil rights and progressive thought, Mary Gauthier. Mary made a breathtaking collection of songs that she recently released as a studio album titled, Dark Enough to See the Stars, and you'll get to hear all about the inspiration behind and making of the record today. It's her eleventh album, the follow-up to the profound, Rifles & Rosary Beads, her 2018 collaborative work with wounded Iraq war veterans. That record garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, as well as a nomination for Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association, so that should give you an idea of the caliber of artist Mary truly is. We're honored to host her on the show today and excited to hear what she has to say.Part of Pantheon Podcasts 

Amy Wright sits down with Kam Franklin, powerhouse vocalist, fashionable frontwoman, and beloved bandleader of The Suffers, one of Houston, TX greatest contemporary bands. The Suffers just released a new full-length studio album titled It Starts with Love, their third and arguably best LP to date.

Amy Wright chats with brothers Michael and Kevin Bacon, aka The Bacon Brothers, all about their brand-new five-song EP, Erato. As multi-faceted artists with a ton of creativity in their DNA, Michael and Kevin have been actively creating music together, well, since they were just kids. They call the genre-bending sound they make “Forosoco” - a blend of folk, rock, soul, and country influences. And that makes sense, considering it's the continuation of sounds heard long ago in Philadelphia, where the two siblings were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul singers, and classic rock bands."We're a songwriting band, and the songs lead the way," Kevin explains. "We're not beholden to a specific sound. We just write the songs and let them point us in the right direction. That's how we've done it since the very beginning."Part of Pantheon Podcasts 

Today Amy Wright gets to chat with Bill Payne, the Waco, Texas native who, along with Lowell George, co-founded the legendary and incomparable rock band Little Feat. When it comes to piano and organ work and the mix of genres that are rock, blues, funk and jazz, no one does it quite like Bill Payne. Outside of Little Feat, Payne has also recorded and worked with J.J. Cale, Jimmy Buffett, The Doobie Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Pink Floyd, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and countless others. A shockingly impressive list of artists, for sure. He's a true creative, with a distinct voice and perspective, with great skills. Reaching into photography, writing and other realms.Part of Pantheon Podcasts 

Today we're excited to welcome California native and now Nashville-based singer-songwriter, the always delightful Nicki Bluhm. “My perspective on life and love has made a shift, for the better,” shares Bluhm, the acclaimed artist behind Avondale Drive, her newest studio album out now on Compass Records.Bluhm pointed out in a recent Q&A that one silver lining of the pandemic was that all musicians were grounded at home and had time on their hands and were jonesing to be creative. With no touring happening, there were so many artists who decided to set up little home recording rooms. Because we were all physically isolated, she points out, sharing tracks and flying them to musician friends was a way to commune and collaborate, giving each musician the freedom to interpret, express and add to the songs in their own unique way. That's how Bluhm's new record came together, and you'll learn all about this hour. Part of Pantheon Podcasts 

Today we're truly honored to welcome Americana music icon and trailblazer, Delbert McClinton, whose latest record Outdated Emotion debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

The album offers listeners a backstage pass to some of the most significant musical moments in American history. The 4x GRAMMY® Award-winner chats with Amy Wright this hour all about the album, as well as his formative years and what his lifelong journey as a musician has consisted of for the last 60 years.Part of Pantheon Podcasts

Thanks for checking out our podcasts here on YouTube. I'm here for just a second to help introduce our guest this hour, the always spirited and always creative, Patty Smyth, who first made waves in the 1980s with the rock band Scandal, and who has since gone on to enjoy a successful career as a solo artist. One interesting note to make is that Patty was a huge star on MTV in its hay day, and DittyTV draws a lot of inspiration from those early MTV days, so it's kind of a full-circle affair, which we love to see. With that in mind, I'll hand it over to Amy Wright, who caught up with Patty over video call to discuss her 2020 LP release, It's About Time. Enjoy it, and thanks for listening.
