In Part 1, Taraleigh and Leah sit down with musician Reed Mathis and dive deep into the healing potential of live music. The three discuss the role of the nervous system and early attachments on a person’s experience and how live music could affect these aspects later in life in therapeutic ways. Psychedelics as part of the mix are also mentioned as a way to cover a lot of ground really quickly. Reed goes on to say, “if you are looking for a place where you can retrain your nervous system to feel safe, it is hard to find a better set of circumstances than a live band, especially a live band that improvises.” Leah gives a brief overview of the nervous system and Taraleigh leaves listeners with a fun way to practice their own improvisation.Reed Mathis is a bass player and the genius behind Electric Beethoven. Reed’s experimental and experiential philosophy has led him to use well known artists such as Beethoven, Paul Simon, and The Grateful Dead to lead to exploration and healing. His latest projects include Bone Diggers and Golden Gate Wingmen in addition to Electric Beethoven. Perhaps most notably, Reed was a founding member of Tulsa progressive jazz band Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.This podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In Part 2, Taraleigh, Leah, and Reed come back to finish the conversation about live music as a potential for trauma and grief resolution and insecure attachment. Reed gives a specific example of his own healing through live music and how he uses Beethoven as a means of healing for others. Leah discusses many reasons people use music in their lives and Taraleigh shares her latest ritual involving music for well-being that listeners can use in their daily lives.

We've got a special and unusual episode for you this time around. I had the great fortune to join my good friend and head of Osiris, RJ Bee, at a Golden Gate Wingmen show late last month. The show, at The Hamilton Live, was the kick-off for a short tour and it was a blast. To make things even more exciting, we got to meet and interview the band. Jeff Chimenti (keys, vocals), John Kadlecik (guitar, vocals), Jay Lane (drums, vocals), and Reed Mathis (bass, vocals) were friendly, forthcoming, and entertaining. You'll hear our interview with the band and about an hour's worth of tunes from the show in this episode. Thanks to RJ Bee for making the interview happen. Thanks also to DC Music Review for allowing me to share a couple of Jason Herman's beautifulphotos from the night. Thanks as well to taper Alex Leary for making and sharing his excellent recording with us.

Rochestergroovecast@gmail.com Donate through paypal!: paypal.me/BenAlbert --- Appalachian Gypsy Tribe began playing together in July of 2012. Since then, AGT has exploded into Pennsylvania venues and festivals; gaining momentum and expanding their family base with a wide range of music styling and infectious songwriting. With each song, AGT brings a fresh and new atmosphere to the table. Their compositions are carefully layered with thick harmonies, intricate musical movements, deep rooted stories, and uplifting lyrics. Improvisation moves one song into the next, leaving a surprise around every corner. There is a strong sense of “family” in the group which helps drive their art and inspire one another. AGT has made many transformations since the beginning, always growing and moving forward with their music. The band is fronted by vocalist Emily Newman. Her powerful voice gives life to the lyrics and propels the music for the band. Guitarists Asa Wilson and Travis Mason steer the jams with their innovative lead/rhythm guitar work. Andrew Bodogh lays down the atmosphere with psychedelic synth swells and catchy keyboard lines. Bass guitarist Josh Tacker digs deep to release his grooves while the beats flow effortlessly from drummer and percussionist, Jose Teran. With a little over four years under their belt, Appalachian Gypsy Tribe has found themselves on many festival bills (Bear's Picnic, Some Kind of Jam, Boogie in the Bungalow, PA Sound Summit, Peace of Mind, Celebration of Life, Zucchini Moon, Carpe Noctem, Jam Along the Creek, Woodstock Reunion) as well as on the stage of numerous popular night clubs and venues (The Sherman Theater, River Street Jazz Cafe, The Abbey Bar, ArtsQuest Center, Chameleon Club, Tellus 360, North Star Bar, The Legendary Dobbs, The Holy Hound, The Funhouse, Pearly Bakers, Pickering Creek Inn, The WInner's Circle, and The Depot). AGT has sharred the stage with acts including Golden Gate Wingmen, The Heavy Pets, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, The Schwag, Ryan Montbleau Band, Consider the Source, The Mantras, The Breakfast, Splintered Sunlight, The Underwater Sounds, Flux Capacitor, Dr. Slothclaw, Still Hand String Band, Out of the Beardspace, Swift Technique, Nik Greeley & The Operators, and Mysterytrain... as well as bringing in the 2015 New Year with Melvin Seals and JGB & The New Riders of the Purple Sage! With the release of Appalachian Gypsy Tribe's second studio album, "Gypsy Wind," and the successful accompaniment production of the GYPSY WIND FESTIVAL, the members of the band are full of energy and excitement. AGT is ready to follow wherever the music may lead.
