On this episode of Inside MusiCast, we're joined by three amazing musicians whose pedigrees in the music industry speak for themselves. Former Inside MusiCast guests, Gregg Bissonette and Andy Timmons, along with Matt Bissonette are here to discuss The Reddcoats, a band that was formed in 2019 and also includes Wally Minko and Ron Pedley on keys, and Mike Medina on percussion. The Reddcoats sound explores a lot of musical territory, with a mix of power pop, jazz, rock, and even a little funk. While the approach to their music is free-spirited, the performances are air tight, with a great blend of instrumental compositions, along with songs that deliver great vocals and vocal harmonies. The band recently released a brand new album titled The Reddcoats 2, and we're honored to have Gregg, Matt and Andy here to chat about it. Hey guys, welcome to Inside MusiCast.

Brought to you by The Publicity Works Agency specializing in authors & musicians Remember We shine only when We make you shine! Call us today at 941-567-6193 for a free PR evaluation! Bass Icon Jeff Berlin To Release New Tribute Album To Legendary Jack Bruce “Jack Songs” Bass icon Jeff Berlin has recently released a new tribute album to legendary Jack Bruce titled “Jack Songs”. Jack Bruce, best known for his work with classic rock group Cream as well as his critically acclaimed solo work passed away in 2014. Jeff Berlin, who has been called “the greatest bass player in the world”, was a personal friend of Jack's and wanted to record his songs in remembrance of how Jack helped Jeff to find his own musical path. Says Jeff, “Recording the music of Jack Bruce has been the most emotional recording project of my career.” ‘Jack Songs' isn't a cover CD, not in the literal sense. Except for a couple of tunes from his Cream period (arranged in ways that should surprise people) most of the songs on this CD come from other periods in Jack's musical life after Cream. Jack's solo career represented a multitude of musical styles. This recording is a new revamp of some of those songs, some of the best music that I heard from one of the greatest musicians of the last fifty years. Please welcome legendary Bass player & educator Jeff Berlin to Interviewing the Legends … PURCHASE ‘JACK SONGS' By JEFF BERLIN Features guest performers Sammy Hagar, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, Gregg Bissonette, Gary Husband, Eric Johnson, Bill Frisell, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Alex Ligertwood, Scott Henderson, Marcus Miller, Ron Carter, Tony Levin, Michael League, Nathan East, Mark King, Bruce Guttridge, Billy Sheehan and Johnny Hiland!

In this episode, John remembers the great Jeff Porcaro whom we lost August 5, 1992. Joining John is a legendary group of Jeff's friends and contemporaries and a literal “who's who” of the drumming community, including Jim Keltner, Vinnie Colaiuta, John Robinson, Rick Marotta, Stan Lynch, Gregg Bissonette, Gary Mallaber, Jody Cortez, David Garfield, John Good, Rich Mangicaro, Robyn Flans, Harry McCarthy, Ross Garfield and Paul Jamieson. They discussed Jeff's incomparable body of work, his incredible time and feel, and the deep love and respect he had from everyone. John also read messages from Jeff's brother, Steve Porcaro, “Toto" keyboardist and co-founder, David Paich, and legendary session bassist, Bob Glaub. Some heartwarming and funny stories were shared by all, with the common thread being Jeff's sense of humor, and his incredible generosity, both as a musician, and as a person.

John's guest was Donn Bennett, drummer, educator and founder of Donn Bennett's Drum Studio in Seattle, WA. Donn talks about how he went from a teaching studio to opening his retail store, how he got into collecting vintage drums, creating “Donn's Drum Vault” - his incredible collection of rare and vintage drums and his "Artist Collection" of celebrity gear.

Ringo Starr finally made it to Boston on Thursday, June 2, to receive his honorary degree from the Berklee College of Music. The school originally announced that The Beatles drummer would receive a doctorate in music at commencement ceremonies in May, but Starr was unable to attend then and instead addressed the graduating class in a recorded statement. But with Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band in town for a show, the school held a special ceremony to honor his lifelong contributions to the music scene that featured performances of Starr's hit songs, arranged and performed by Berklee students. Starr, 81, told the story of how he picked up drumming when he was 13 and very ill and someone brought some percussion instruments to the hospital to keep him busy. He was hooked. “I just wanted to be a drummer from that moment on," he said at Thursday's ceremony. “It was my big dream and it's still unfolding. I get to play with great guys, like the band here. It's just a great life I lead." Gregg Bissonette, the drummer in the All Starr Band, and Berklee President Erica Muhl provided opening remarks. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In a multi-episode series, Harris and Brodeur look back at the last twenty years of Brodeur's career. Starting out under the NewYorkDVD brand, Brodeur found success in the Music Education market, working on projects for Music Sales (Wise Music Group), Carl Fischer Music, Hal Leonard Publishing, Fender Guitars and Hudson Music.

Darren and Steve discuss David Lee Roth's recent appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, what was said and what wasn't, the soon-to-be-50th anniversary of Dave and Alex Van Halen "ragging on each other," and will Dave be in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve? Then, Darren talks with the amazing Billy Sheehan, discussing the new 30th anniversary edition of Mr. Big's "Lean Into It" album, coming up in Buffalo, New York, his years with Talas, Harvey Weinstein, writing and recording the new Winery Dogs album, almost making the ill-fated "Eat 'Em and Smile" movie, getting together with Steve Vai and Gregg Bissonette, some thoughts on the "Skyscraper" album, and Darren's year is made as Billy talks about the making of "Sonrisa Salvaje!"

We're back this week with another great conversation as Billy Sheehan & Gregg Bissonette reflect on Eat 'Em & Smile. This legendary album by David Lee Roth was released July 7, 1986 and peaked at #4 on the US Billboard charts. More importantly, it was an absolute statement being put forth by the former Van Halen front man that he could still swing for the fences. With a powerful backing band including the rhythm section of Sheehan and Bissonette combined with the guitar acrobatics of Steve Vai, the Eat 'Em & Smile album is loaded with hooks, precision, and the patented tongue-in-cheek lyrics of Roth. It's a true example of rock's dominance in the 80's.This interview was recorded live on-stage at the ROCKNPOD Expo in Nashville, TN on Saturday August 7, 2021. In this discussion, Billy & Gregg give the full backstory of how they hooked up with David Lee Roth, the audition process, album recording and much more. Their stories are incredibly entertaining and we think you'll get a kick out of these two legends reconnecting with each other.We hope you enjoy Albums Unleashed Eat 'Em & Smile with Billy Sheehan & Gregg Bissonette and SHARE with a friend!Decibel Geek is a proud member of the Pantheon Podcasts family.

Recorded sometime in the last decade, featuring John 5 on guitar and bass, and Gregg Bissonette on drums, upon release DLR dedicated it Eddie Van Halen.

It's with Gregg Bissonette who might best be known for his work on David Lee Roth's Eat ‘Em & Smile Record, with Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan. But as 3 or 4 people know, I have always preferred the album Skyscraper. I actually have it framed above my desk, so I didn't waste much time in making that almost 30 year old record the topic of this interview. Also, this is my first MINI episode I'm releasing. It's only about 15 minutes long, as I caught Gregg in the hallway of a hotel before he went in to start his drum camp. Apologies that this is the lowest quality episode I've released so far, because it was all recorded on a handheld Zoom recorder with built-in stereo mic passed back and forth between us. There's only so much I could do to improve the quality. Sorry!
