Mike Gonzales is the drummer for Kill Tony Band. He has played with Keith Urban, Gary Clark Jr, The Peterson Bro's, Gina Chavez, Charley Crockett and many more. In this episode we learn that Mike got what many would call a "late start". He pursues his passion with unparalleled work ethic (we get in to the details of what that looks like). He tells many rad stories and is one of the hardest workers in every room -- who does so with humility. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Mike. His journey will continue to be one to want to support and stay tuned in to.   Follow Mike on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/mikeagonz13?igsh=dnZ0Y3M1aHg3OWN6 Follow Claire on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays?igsh=cDEzZ3VvdGcxZ2xj&utm_source=qr Check out Claire's Coaching HERE: https://www.clairebayscoach.com

General Directive College Launches Road to 2024 General Convention On April 29, 2024, the first General Convention of the Regnum Christi Federation will begin.

In this letter to all members of Regnum Christi, the General Directive College urges each and everyone to pray, participate, and contribute their experience and vision of Regnum Christi throughout the process. 7:05 Gina Chavez, New General Secretary for the Regnum Christi Federation Gina Chávez is originally from Mexico City, and she has been Consecrated for 21 years.

Developments in the Uvalde school massacre: Conflicting and still-unclear reporting seems to show that school security and responding law enforcement barricaded the shooter inside a fourth grade classroom for as long as 40 minutes, during which most of the killings took place. The shooter is believed to have bought his two AR platform guns just after his 18th birthday and just days prior to the shooting. Governor Greg Abbott offers no specific solutions, saying new gun restrictions are "not a real solution" and that the assault that killed 19 children and two adults "could have been worse". "Red Flag" laws are being mulled as a potential way to curb access to guns by criminals or people experiencing mental issues. In addition to crowdfunding and blood donations, legal services are needed by the families of the victims - attorneys are implored to volunteer. Meanwhile, protests are expected at Friday's NRA event in Houston. The Uvalde event is the deadliest school shooting in state history, and Texas is now an national outlier for mass shootings, with five of the ten deadliest - four in schools - having occurred within our borders. Austin ISD is responding with a buildup of security at its campuses. New details in the Anna Moriah Wilson murder case indicate that Austin Police had arrested the suspect, Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, days prior to a warrant for murder being issued. Armstrong was released, however, because her date of birth on record did not match the date of birth on the warrant. Armstrong remains at large and is now believed to have traveled to New York City. Yelp has revealed its Top 100 Places To Eat In Texas list, and 18 establishments in Austin and the surrounding area made the cut, including #1 Paper Route Bakery. Speaking of lists, Austin has made high marks on two new ones: we've been named the 16th most bike-friendly city in America, as well as the nation's best place for new college grads to find first jobs. Look for actress Regina Ting Chen on the new season of Stranger Things, playing a guidance counselor at Hawkins High School - she's a UT graduate, and grew up in San Antonio. Texas Baseball gets revenge in the opening game of the Big 12 Tournament, shutting out Oklahoma State 4-0 - they face TCU today at 4pm, after the Horned Frogs beat Baylor on Wednesday. Texas Football legend Ricky Williams has officially changed his name to "Errick Miron". Live music for the weekend: the 50th Kerrville Folk Festival begins, and continues through June 12. Willie Nelson plays a three night stand Friday through Sunday at Whitewater Amphitheater north of New Braunfels.

Her music blends cumbia, bossa nova, vintage pop, reggaeton, and folk combined with dynamic vocals and sharp social commentary. She is the 2014 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize Winner for her song “Siete-D,” a rock-cumbia-rap mix that explores the delights and dangers of El Salvador from a window on the 7-D, the bus route she rode as a volunteer there in 2010. An eight-time Austin Music Award winner, Chavez and her band swept the 2015 awards, winning Musician of the Year, Album of the Year(Up.Rooted), Song of the Year (“Siete-D”), Best Latin Band, and the Esme Barrera Award for Music Activism and Education, while placing in six other categories. A new Gina Chavez single from her upcoming intensely personal EP, Lightbeam. "Heaven Knows" is a love letter set to lyrics dedicated to her wife, Jodi Granado. Chavez has received national recognition from NPR’s “All Songs Considered” and “Alt.Latino” for her debut SXSW performance (2012) as one of the new Latin artists to watch, and the Austin American-Statesman calls her “a true Austin music treasure — angelic vocals and a devilish treat on guitar.” Southern Living Magazine named her one of 11 “southern iconic women who have left a beautiful footprint across the South,” for her volunteer work in El Salvador. This will be her second appearance on Music Friday Live - her first interview was so much fun, we decided to ask her back.

Texas-based singer/songwriter Sarah Pierce was musically influenced by her family’s heritage in the cattle business and she sings about the long line of women who get things done on the ranch.  Writing and playing classic country from a woman’s viewpoint and from a place firmly rooted in the land, she combines heartfelt story telling with an honest message in the 9 albums spanning her career.  Pierce released her newest CD, Barbed Wire, on the Little Bear Records imprint. Produced by Merel Bregante, Barbed Wire was recorded at The Cribworks Digital Audio in Liberty Hill, Texas, and she is launching her support tour this month in Texas. Gina Chavez is a bilingual Latin-folk singer/songwriter from Austin, Texas, who blends the sounds of the Americas with tension and grace. Her latest independent release, Up.Rooted, is a collection of bilingual songs traversing cumbia, bossa nova, vintage pop, reggaeton, and folk combined with dynamic vocals and sharp social commentary. The album topped the iTunes and Amazon Latin charts and was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered. She is the 2014 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize Winner for her song “Siete-D,” a rock-cumbia-rap mix that explores the delights and dangers of El Salvador from the bus she rode as a volunteer there in 2010. She is currently on tour and will be onstage in Los Angeles at the Hotel Café, Oct 10 with Mitre and Irene Diaz.  But she stops in at Music FridayLive! this Friday.

We are pleased to bring back Jimmy Lafave and a secret mystery guest, lover of Barton Springs in from Vermont. (See videos of Jimmy here) The last few years we’ve been in the studio with Jimmy, recording a cut with him on his Jackson Browne Tribute album, and two songs on his most recent album release.  Back in the 80’s my high school best friend and I would take our strings downtown and sit in at the Chicago House open mike frequently hosted by Jimmy Lafave.  Years later I ran into Jimmy at a live KGSR radio tribute to Bob Dylan; from that radio show the first season of  Strings Attached was born.Here are a few songs I arranged for that first show back in 2001:Never is a MomentWhen It Starts to Rain (KUT Radio Appearance)Jimmy LaFave was born in Wills Point, Texas, a small town 30 miles east of Dallas. He began school down the road in Mesquite and by Junior High was making music perched behind his Sears & Roebuck drum kit. It wasn’t long before his mother traded a drawer full of green stamps for his first guitar and the switch to singer–songwriter was in progress. His family later moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he finished high school. Although he has lived in Austin for over 20 years, many people think of him as being from Oklahoma, because of his strong musical ties to the state and what he often refers to as its “red dirt music.” It was in this landscape that he began to define his sound and soak up a combination of his experiences among authentic songwriters from the tradition of Woody Guthrie. Before leaving Oklahoma for Austin, Jimmy did some independent recording and toured the southwest with the first version of his band Night Tribe.
