On this episode of Tent Show Radio, Rock n Roll recording artists and globetrotting journeymen, Devon Allman & Donavon Frankenreiter perform a career spanning set, showcasing songs off their collaborative EP Rollers. For nearly four decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. With over a dozen albums under his belt, Frankenreiter has worked it on the touring trail worldwide for three decades. Donavon is a brand ambassador for Flying Embers as well as Sanuk Footwear and also co-owner of Humble Brands, Caddis Eyewear and several other companies.   Blues Music Award-winning singer, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Devon Allman (son of Rock legend Gregg Allman) has appeared at the world's biggest festivals and has co-founded the supergroups Royal Southern Brotherhood and The Allman Betts Band amassing a recording catalog of 11 albums. He writes a column for Guitar Player Magazine, is endorsed by Gibson guitars, and serves on the board of directors for the National Blues Museum.   In June of 2023, Allman & Frankenreiter released their collaborative EP, Rollers, a 6-song collection, produced by Luther Dickinson of the multiple Grammy-nominated North Mississippi Allstars and mastered by Brad Sarno at Blue Jade Audio, featuring previously released singles “Calling All You Riders” and “See It All” as well as a guest appearance from Maggie Rose on the track “We Belong.” The songs on Rollers serve as the soundtrack for the duo's world-record breaking See It All Tour, where Allman and Frankenreiter set the Official World Record for fastest time to play a concert in each of the 50 states. The execution was brutal, but the rock ‘n' roll recording artists and longtime friends, along with their talented band mates – Matt Grundy (bass), John Lum (drums), David Gomez (percussion, sax), Jackson Stokes (guitar), were successful in breaking the previous record, playing 50 shows in 49 days in the summer of 2023, one of those dates being under the tent at Big Top Chautauqua.   EPISODE CREDITSMichael Perry - Host Phillip Anich - Announcer Keenan McIntyre - Engineer Gina Nagro - Marketing Support FOLLOW BIG TOP CHAUTAUQUA https://www.facebook.com/bigtopchautauqua/ https://www.instagram.com/bigtopchautauqua/ https://www.tiktok.com/@bigtopchautauqua https://twitter.com/BigBlueTent FOLLOW HOST MICHAEL PERRYhttps://sneezingcow.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sneezingcow https://www.instagram.com/sneezingcow/ https://twitter.com/sneezingcow/ 2024 TENT SHOW RADIO SPONSORSAshland Area Chamber of Commerce - https://www.visitashland.com/   Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau - https://www.bayfield.org/   Bayfield County Tourism - https://www.bayfieldcounty.wi.gov/150/Tourism   The Bayfield Inn - https://bayfieldinn.com/   Cable Area Chamber of Commerce - https://www.cable4fun.com/   Kylmala Truss - https://www.kylmalatruss.com/  SPECIAL THANKSWisconsin Public Radio - https://www.wpr.org/  

From CHRISTINA AGUILERA and 2PAC to SISQÓ and FRANK OCEAN, guitarist/composer MICHAEL “FISH” HERRING can be heard with a wide range of superstars. On this episode, we “land the ‘copter” on Fish's front lawn, head into his amazing home studio, plug in some Yamaha guitars (Fish into a Line 6 Helix running though studio monitors, yours truly into a BOSS Katana combo), and do a little jamming. And, of course, we dive deep into what it takes to become one of the most in-demand lead guitarists in the challenging Los Angeles music scene. Bonus: Fish reveals who is the better billiards player — him, or JONI MITCHELL. This episode is presented by GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE. Enjoy!

6:[10:35] You know, with Crooked Rain probably would would have been the first one i would have bought if i if i did it at the right time right and i would have absolutely i mean this wouldhave been my favorite band and then i mean they are now i i, consider them in the they so it's pre-pandemic they were going to play a show in barcelona, right and we i mean we weretalking about it um because it just felt like i i felt like i missed out.This is a band I could have seen several times.And you're going like, well, they've already done a reunion tour.There's a good chance we'll never get to do this. So maybe we go. Maybe we check it out.Track 3:[11:21] And then.Track 6:[11:22] Of course, that all went away. And then we went and saw them in Kansas City a couple of years ago, I think, a year ago, two years ago. And it was wonderful.Track 3:[11:33] It was great.Track 1:[11:34] Yeah.Track 6:[11:35] You lucked out because that 2010 Renewed Tour, although it was very special to me, I saw them in Central Park in New York City and that was really special.They didn't look like they were having the best time. That's what I understand.But this tour, they seemed like, like SM in particular, just seemed like he was having fun.Right. And yeah, that's interesting too, because yeah, now my perception of them is like, wow, what a great live band.Yeah. But even in their heyday is the wrong term, but I guess pre-Breakup, right?Sure. Even then, people were kind of like, oh, they're sloppy.That's like their whole thing.Yeah and i you know that's not something i ever experienced yeah the kansas city show was just a great band oh yeah so much fun so do you have any um any favorite tracks or a favoritefavorite record at this point is it still wowie zowie yeah i think so um.[12:38] It was interesting well so that was you know i i probably listened to that for a year or two before i started going like okay i'm a i'm a join the subreddit guy and uh it was reallyinteresting for me to learn that that was like uh not well received initially um and even the later stuff too i i i think twilight is great i think bright in the corners is great and you know Imean, I know that I'm getting all this stuff at once.There's no like, oh, I love Payment. I love the sound of Slanted and Enchanted.Can't wait to see what's next. And then you get this kind of polished record, and maybe that would be a disappointment.But to me, it's all at once. So I don't know.I really love it all. It would be really hard for me to rank.Track 1:[13:34] Like.Track 6:[13:35] Well, and also, I mean, I did listen to, like, started listening to the top Spotify plays, and then I would listen to some, like, other people's like my favorite tracks or whatever deepercuts or whatever and right and so like part i don't necessarily even know like what's from terror twilight bright in the corners without like thinking about it um so for effort and you knowslanted change is a little easier to just discern that sound from the later stuff but even Even Crooked Rain is a fairly slick record.So yeah, a lot of those tracks, I don't really... Like I said, unless I go, oh, what is that on?It's all just like pavement songs. Wowie Zowie, I know the best.That I could do. But yeah, they're all just kind of like...It's just a bunch of good songs. I agree. I so agree with you.And I discovered them in a similar way. I discovered them late.I discovered them after Terror Twilight.So I got the same gift that you got, which is like five records at once.Yeah. And to hear people say like Carrot Rope, I've seen people say like.Track 3:[14:55] Oh.Track 6:[14:56] But that one, that one's a toss off. That one's a joke, stupid song.And I'm just like, I don't... Sure.Track 3:[15:02] I guess.Track 6:[15:03] But I like it. And I think, yeah, fun songs like that, there's room room for that again if you were so stoked for the next 10 pavement songs and one of them you felt, was a silly gooftrack maybe i could see being a little more disappointed but i don't know i think it sounds like uh sounds like animal crossing music um which was another big part of the pandemic for usyeah and i enjoyed it tied it all in a bow you just tied it all in a bow you You are a master storyteller.Track 1:[15:36] Well.Track

1:[15:52] And I'm excited to do it.Track 6:[15:54] Excellent.Track 3:[15:55] Well.Track 5:[15:55] We'll talk to you right after this. Hey, this is Bob Mustanovich from Pavement.Thanks for listening. Now on with the countdown. 45.Track 3:[19:55] So this is song number 45 on the countdown and it is our first track from terror twilight on the the list so far it is you are a light what do you think of this track matt personally andhey you know not trying to be controversial i like it i think it's great oh that's not controversial i guess you're right i guess everybody wrote in i didn't like i saw you talking about peoplewrite in for your top 50 and i went i'm not qualified i'm i shouldn't oh i should let the the real guys do this um so far i i agree i've i've been i've been keeping up with the pod and i'm i'mthere there's not which there's only been a couple but there's not yet been a track that I've gone.Track 6:[20:52] You people are insane. And you are a light. I'm right there with them.Sure, this could be a top 50 for me.Yeah, I think it's a lovely song. I think his vocal tone is maybe one of the best that we've heard of performances delivered vocally.It's so clean and so smooth um i love all the atmospherics in this song nigel has.[21:19] Created like a soundscape you know for the rather sparse band arrangement which we're used to with this band you know sort of uh filling in the gaps really nicely i love how thesong opens with that almost it almost sounds like you're turning something on yeah like a flick of a switch or something doesn't it oh yeah yeah yeah uh for sure old electronics remindsme of or something yeah in a in a movie i don't know if old electronics really make that sound but i feel like they do yeah yeah yeah.[21:57] Um yeah i think i think you know that's a a thing about um like his vocals like sometimes, uh i'll listen to vocal takes of the pavement you know and be like i wish i was boldenough, to be okay with that uh and this isn't one of those right like this he sings very like like, on key and everything, which is cool, too, to have those differences.And then to, like, know that, like, on other songs, and of course I'm not thinking of any right now, but he does it a lot, right, where it's not necessarily on the correct pitch or with greattone.Track 2:[22:44] And so songs like this.Track 6:[22:45] Right, are just kind of like, well, yeah, he could have done it perfect, but it feels better, more fun to...To do it um more fun i guess or uh whatever and um and right here randy jackson being like you're a little pitchy dog yeah right and that's it that you know i mean like i said like if i'mever recording a song like there's no way i i would i would i'm very self-conscious about things like that and uh it's it's nice to have someone to look at and go it's so it's okay you You canhave fun with it, or you can do it more like you're a light and nail it and make a very pretty song.But then I do like how this song is almost cut in half, right?There's the first chunk, and then there's the second part, half.[23:40] Dynamically, there's tons of shifts. And that's another songwriting thing that I appreciate in this song. They don't go back to the first part.And I think in songwriting, I don't know.I feel like that's a tough thing to do, to go like, nope, it's just this and then this and then we're done.We don't need to overdo it.There's no reason to come back to even like a chorus, which I don't know.I mean, the song would be difficult to kind of say what is a chorus.Yeah. Yeah. yeah i suppose you are the you know like you are the light the the calm in the day you're the light the calm in the day um like i suppose that scores but you're right there's no,There's no pavement blueprint. We've heard six songs so far on the countdown, and they're all remarkably different.Track 4:[24:35] They're all remarkably different from a structure standpoint as well as just like a finished product.Track 6:[24:42] I love that too. I'm glad you pointed that out because it's like verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and then weirdness, and then sort of a bridge, and then sort of out. But none of it is...Songwriting 101 no and right like it is interesting i think because you could take a lot of these songs in this this top 50 and pretend well what if there was a band that was this like this wastheir entire thing uh and you know you'd be like oh that's they're cool uh, But right, pavement does do a lot of different things.And to me, that's more interesting. I think I get the impression from some of the diehards, which again, I'm not saying anyone's doing it wrong or anything, but I think sometimes peoplewill get sort of stuck on their idea of pavement, or maybe the version of pavement they like.And it can be annoying to them when they diverge from that too far in their minds.But I think I look at it like.[25:58] Well, I only have to listen to one band. I don't have to get into five or six other bands.It's making it easy for me. That's great.[26:12] What do you think this song is about?Do you think it's about anything, or is it just word salad, or what's the deal? Man, I'm not a lyric guy.No, okay. I guess I'm more of a connotative lyric person, right? Okay, expand on that.These words feel a certain way together.It's not like a story. It's not like a linear tale, right?Track 4:[26:42] Right.Track 6:[26:43] And I'll do that even with songs that maybe are... like someone will go oh that song that's about him riding on a train and i'll be i'll almost be disappointed when someone tells methat right i'm like oh i guess it is yeah okay i see um i i like lyrics that just to me my interpretation was like well that makes me feel this way and And all of these words kind of like cometogether to elicit an emotion.And that's sort of the vibe I get from pavement lyrics.I think you're right. I think you're bang on. People talk about it like.Track 4:[27:26] Oh.Track 6:[27:26] It's just nonsense.And I think maybe in like a, oh, it's about this. It's this.I'm talking about these things.Maybe that's true, but I do think that they always seem to me to be pretty carefully selected things.[27:46] Elicit uh an emotion a specific like vibe and feeling and uh yeah i mean i i did i so like i said i'm not really lyric i don't really like pour over lyrics um and i did for this because ithought that would be a good thing to do and then that's when i learned well i am bad at it i have no idea what this is about i but i like them all i do like cool i like cool words and these arelike I read these and I go, well, this is cool.I like how this makes me feel.And they all are neat words together.Yeah, and some of them connect. I think You Are a Light, The Calm and The Day, I think that fits together. That may be about somebody, but maybe not.I love, lyrically, it almost reminds me of David Berman.[28:37] I Drive a Stick, Gotta Love It, Automatic. like that's the the vocal delivery of that is really cool so i think you're right there's there's almost as much like a michael stipe sort of yeahthing going on where it's like this word sounds good with the melody i'm going to use that in lieu of uh writing something heartfelt and uh, linear or or something along those lines i don'twant to say this song isn't heartfelt or other pavements no but you know what i mean i know you mean and i think sometimes when you write a song, you might you know you say wellyes this song is about the way I felt when this thing happened.[29:21] But I'm not it's not about that thing you know what I mean it's more about the emotion and, like I said I don't really enjoy story songs that much or I feel like you're sort of likestripping away a layer for people to enjoy it.Because, you know, you're going like, well, I don't have a red truck, so I can't...You're making me do more work, right? Because now I have to go, okay, that's the way you felt about your red truck.What could I feel that way about instead of just talking about the emotion and then, you know, whatever.I'm getting above my pay grade on talking.But yeah, I'm sure like maybe old mouth missed, could say, oh, yeah, this is about, like, Lethalizer Slingshots is about the time that we did this and this and this, but I don't know what thatmeans. Yeah. Yeah.Track 4:[30:31] Swallow propane.Track 6:[30:32] I just know, hey, as much of a fan as I am, not going to do that, Steve. Not going to do that.Track 3:[30:40] No.Track 6:[30:40] I don't think I will. I don't think I will. Where do you think this fits?Do you think it's a good spot at 45, five or do you think it should be uh like is it properly rated do you think or would you have it would you have it higher up or would you put it lowerdown for for yeah i mean i think for me i i think i'm gonna have more issues myself with the with the top because i think sure with people who are perhaps better fans than i know it there'sno such like it would be hard for me to not say a.Track 4:[31:16] Oh.Track 6:[31:17] Cut Your Hair should be top five. That's a, what a great song.And I think, I feel like it's going to get deeper cut, less pop song toward the top.And this, I don't know, this kind of.Track 3:[31:33] To me.Track 6:[31:33] This would probably maybe go higher for me, but I think...Man, they got a lot of songs. They got a lot of good songs. You have a lot of songs. 120 were selected for this process. 120 songs.I guess really, right? This is sort of a fool's errand from the start.It's just kind of a fun way to talk about a bunch of songs. I think you've mentioned...Track

Today we plug in with session king and bandleader MICHAEL THOMPSON — “MT” to his friends — who is one of the most recorded guitarists in history. Thompson has worked with everyone from Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, Ray Charles, Fleetwood Mac, and Beyoncé to Lionel Richie, Bob Seger, Neil Diamond, Michael Bublé, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, and Earth, Wind & Fire, to name just a small fraction of the staggering roster of superstars he's tracked with. The L.A.-based guitarist has also released multiple Michael Thompson Band solo albums over the years, including 2023's “The Love Goes On.” Hosted by JUDE GOLD and taking place at MT's home studio, this episode offers a deep dive into Michael's life, career, gear and signature sound — the shimmering, melodic, funky and fully rockin' guitar approach that made Thompson an A-list session cat for such super-producers as David Foster, Babyface and John “Mutt” Lange during the peak of the session guitar era. Presented by GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE and GUITARPLAYER.COM.

Podcasters note: I mistakenly called this podcast, episode 18. It is in fact episode 19.I first became aware of writer, producer and author Bill Milkowski back in the mid to late 70's, when, as a young up-and-coming rock guitar player, I started buying Guitar Player Magazine. As my pursuit shifted to Jazz Guitar, Bill's writing was right there with me in such publications as Downbeat, Jazz Times, Guitar World and other top-shelf publications. Not to mention countless album liner notes. Suffice it to say, his writing is just as impactful today as it was when I was 17.In this podcast, Bill and I talk about Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Jaco Pastorious and much more. He is definitely full of surprises and has a vast wealth of knowledge in both the Jazz and Rock worlds.It's a fun, insighful, informative and entertaining interview and is definitely worth checking out! I think you're really gonna enjoy this one!As always, I'd love to hear or read your feedback so don't be shy!And for more Jazz Guitar related content including interviews, reviews and more, please visit Jazz Guitar Life at www.thejazzguitarlife.com.

SecureIt Founder and CEO Tom Kubiniec had planned to be a rock star – literally. He started playing guitar at 12 and was performing regularly in local nightclubs by the age of 16. He moved to Hollywood to pursue a music career. Guitar Player Magazine has just done a feature article on Tom when he developed tendonitis, ending his guitar career. He took a job marketing computer printer supplies and then started his own company. He branched into selling racks to store computer tapes and built the company into one of the largest in the country.  In 2002 he got a phone call asking if he could make racks to store MP-5 machine guns. The caller was with the FBI. He did some research and found that armories across the country were failing – they had not kept up with the changes in weapon systems.  Tom called his partner that was making the computer racks and found the HE had just received a similar request from the Canadian military. He became aware of a government solicitation to review the status of their armories so Tom arranged for a meeting with a commander at Fort Bragg. Tom says that even though “None of us knew what we were doing”; he introduced himself as the leading authority in small arms storage and armory design. They won the contract and he spent the next 18 months visiting Special Forces armories all across the country. He launched his open architecture system in 2008 and by 2011 SecureIt was the largest supplier to the US military. Government budget sequestration hit his company hard and convinced Tom he had to diversify into the consumer market as well. Tom shares some of the most common misconceptions about gun safes and the importance of what he calls “decentralized storage”. TAKEAWAY:  “No matter how good we were, if Congress turned off the faucet, we were dead in the water – we were not in control of our own destiny.”

What You'll Learn In today's episode, join us in a captivating conversation about the intricate tapestry of sync placements, the power of diverse music genres, and the incredible potential they hold in shaping the modern music landscape. Things We Discussed Sync music is a type of music that is created or licensed for use in media, such as movies, games, or commercials. It is also called production music or library music. Sync music can be very diverse and creative, as it has to match the mood and tone of the media it accompanies. Some famous examples of sync music are the James Bond theme, the Star Wars soundtrack, and the Halo theme. Hans Zimmer is a famous composer who has created music for many movies, games, and shows. He is known for his epic and dramatic style, which often combines orchestral, electronic, and ethnic elements. He has won several awards, including an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe. He is also one of the few composers who performs his music live in concerts around the world. Wacken Festival is a famous rock music festival that takes place every year in the village of Wacken, Germany. It is also known as Wacken Open Air or W:O:A. It is one of the largest and most popular heavy metal festivals in the world, attracting thousands of fans and bands from different genres and countries.

In the accompanying photo, he was captured holding a number of Roy Nichols-era Haggard albums, and cradling a number of vintage Telecasters, including a blackguard. In the article, Redd promoted his new "Telewacker" album and professed his love for Nichols, and I knew that this was the man that was going to bring the Telecaster sound back to the Hag's lead guitar spot. As much as I had loved the 1980s-era Roy and later Clint Strong with their Les Paul and Peavey Session 400 rigs, I had longed to hear the tunes played with a Tele and a JBL-equipped Fender amp. I soon learned that Haggard was playing nearby and I immediately bought a ticket to see Merle and the Strangers for their show on September 4th, 1998, in Corpus Christi, Texas. For the entire show, Redd was on-fire, as he paid homage to his predecessors, yet put his spin on the guitar parts to Merle's incredible catalog of hits. It was one of the best shows I have ever heard.Today we look at Redd Volkaert and his huge influence on Telecaster players over the last 30 years.

The series covered Blues, Rock, Jazz, Classical, and Country. I picked up vol 1 & 2 of the Country series, and my eyes were opened to the founders of the style. These albums launched me down many rabbit holes, gaining a greater appreciation for cats like Chet Atkins, and Albert Lee, and a new appreciation for lesser-known players such as Junior Barnard, Roy Lanham, and Jimmy Colvard. These 2 albums have been in constant rotation in my car for 30 years, hence an episode to spotlight their importance.

Today is Sunday, April 16th, 2023 and I'm probably more excited about releasing this episode than almost any other I've ever been able to record up to this point in my journey as a podcaster.    This episode marks a full-circle moment in my life of music so indulge me for just a second while I take you down memory lane a bit.  On July 4th, 1999 I was a twenty year-old wannabe musician.  Several college friends and I had made the trek from North Central Kansas all the way to Luckenbach, TX for Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic.    That day I got to see many well-known and legendary musicians, and most of them for the first time in my life.    But about 4pm on that hot hill-country Texas day, an absolute freak of a guitar player took the stage.  What I witnessed over the next 20 minutes or so left me with my mouth gaping wide open.  That was the first time I'd even heard the name Monte Montgomery, but I knew what I was witnessing was other-worldly; it was almost like seeing something from a different dimension.  What Monte could do on an acoustic guitar seemed unhuman.  His ability was incredible but the sounds he could get out of that guitar we're unlike any I've ever heard.  I've been a big fan of Monte's ever since then and today, nearly 25 years after seeing him play that first time, Monte Montgomery is our guest today on The Troubadour.   As you'll hear in the interview, Monte has an interesting backstory from picking up a guitar for the first time when he was about 13 years old, to now, being known throughout the world as one of the best acoustic guitar players alive today.  Guitar Player Magazine named him as one their “Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitar Players” and he can often be seen sharing a stage with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel or playing All-Star Guitar Player showcases at NAMM.  Fact is, he'll be playing on May 5th at the Dallas International Guitar Festival.  He can often be seen at the legendary Saxon Pub in Austin and for our Oklahoma listeners, Monte will be doing a two night stand at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City on May 12th and 13th.   Links for everything and some embedded YouTube videos of Monte shredding his Alvarez can be found in the show notes for this episode at thetroubadourpodcast.com   And also, if you can find it in your heart to throw Carly and I a bone, we would love to have you sign up as a supporter on our Patreon page so we can continue to bring you interviews with these great artists like Monte.  You can sign up for as little as $3.00 per month and we'll even send you some podcast swag for doing so  So take action now and go check the “Support The Podcast” tab at thetroubadourpodcast.com.   So let's get into it!  Here comes Episode #172 of The Troubadour and our visit with one of the greatest guitar players to ever live, Monte Montgomery.

With her signature glitter dresses and black knee-high boots, Venable comes off of the ropes swinging dazzling crowds on tour or throughout the festival circuit. "Venable pulls off a stunner of gritty and/or sultry blues rock tunes embellished with lots of tasty guitar solos." - Guitar Player Magazine.

Acoustic Guitarist Mark Kroos is a phenomenal musician, and a great example for men to follow "Mark Kroos is one of the most intelligent musical forces of the new guitar generation." - Randall Williams In this conversation with Mark Kroos on the Manlihood ManCast, we talk about his music, the challenges of life on the road, overcoming adversity, and more. Double-Neck Guitarist Mark Kroos plays an Ovation guitar with two necks at the same time. His shows are energetic, magnetic, and Mark's personality is as welcoming as his playing is spectacular. In 2011, Mark competed in Guitar Player Magazine's International Guitar Superstar Competition in Nashville for host Larry Carlton and renowned judges Muriel Anderson, Reeves Gabrels and Carl Verheyen, taking 1st place out of 5 invited competitors and thousands of others who had submitted online. Facing hardship “like a man” In this episode of the Manlihood ManCast, one of the things that Mark talks about is the things he learned when covid shut down his ability to tour with his music. That experience deeply affected the way he processes things as a man. I see a guy on the street, and I think, ‘that dude has his act together!' But I've had a lot of really great moments over the past few years and realizing that, nobody has their act together. It feels really freeing and incredible to see that. We try to appear hard, walking with our shoulder back, and chests out, and so much of this work over the past year has been about softening, and not taking myself so seriously. Because I really felt for a long time my guitar career was the most important thing in the world to me. Then I saw the world without my guitar career. The world was doing just fine.

June Millington “one of the hottest female guitarists in the industry”(Guitar Player Magazine) has been making music since she was a child playing ukulele in her native Philippines. Having moved from Manila to California in the early sixties, she and her sister, bassist Jean, turned in their folk guitars for electric guitar and bass and formed a succession of all-girl bands. By 1969 they were in Hollywood with their band Fanny, one of the first all women's rock bands to be signed to a major label (Reprise). Through five successful albums and extensive touring of Europe and North America, Fanny served notice that women could do more than simply sing, they could write and play passionate rock ‘n roll. As David Bowie said of the group in an interview with Rolling Stone:“ They were one of the finest f***ing rock bands of their time ... They were extraordinary: They wrote everything, they played like motherf***ers ... They are as important as anyone else who's ever been, ever ...” (RS, January 2000). In 1975 June played on Cris Wiliamson's “The Changer and the Changed” which launched her involvement in the genre of women's music, and which led to being a co-founder and Artistic Director of the Institute for the Musical Arts [IMA], a non-profit organization for women and girls. IMA [www.ima.org] has been hosting Rock ‘n Roll Girls Camps each summer since 2002, and has grown into an internationally known teaching, performing and recording facility supporting women in music and music-related business. The founding board included activist/writer Angela Davis and acclaimed engineer/producer Roma Baran (Laurie Anderson, Rosalie Sorrels). June released her autobiography “Land of a Thousand Bridges: Island Girl in a Rock ‘n Roll World” in 2015; Bobbi Jo Hart's documentary, “Fanny: The Right to Rock” is currently being released amid much excitement. June's latest album, Snapshots was just released via IMA on her label Fabulous Records (all proceeds support programming).

Inspired by everyone from Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Pass, and Mike Stern to his late, great guitar buddy, Allan Holdsworth, ALEX MACHACEK is a spectacular voice in the world of jazz fusion guitar. I had a blast “flying the ‘copter” over to his home studio, plugging in a couple of his signature-model Strandberg guitars, and having him demonstrate for us several inspiring soloing techniques and compositional approaches. In this interview, Alex also shares his life story — how, after years of musical study in Vienna (and a year at Berklee in Boston) he and his wife, Sumitra, ultimately ended up in the Los Angeles region. Catch Machacek on tour in Europe starting this week! This episode is presented by GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE. Enjoy! — JUDE GOLD, host and creator, No Guitar Is Safe podcast.

Occasionally, the world produces one of those rare thinkers that alter the course of history. Disney reinvented entertainment, Edison lit up our lives with the light bulb, … and Leo Fender revolutionized the sound of music. If you think about it, Leo Fender has influenced every person on earth today – at least everyone who has ever heard a song. Guitar Player Magazine declared that Clarence Leo Fender is the father of the solid body guitar. Not only did he invent it, but Leo's guitars were used by everyone from Elvis Presley to Eric Clapton and from Jimmy Page to Jimmy Hendrix.  Indeed, Rolling Stone Magazine published a list of the world's top 100 guitarists, and 90 of them used one of Leo's guitars on stage, and the others used guitars that copied Leo's inventions and concepts. The highest price ever spent for music memorabilia was not for Michael Jackson's glove or Elvis' jumpsuit. It was for a Fender Stratocaster, which sold for over $4 million. Our guest today is Dr. Randall Bell, we're going to get a rare look into the world of Leo Fender, The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World.

How cool would it be if Django Reinhardt jammed out on some Nirvana? Well, unless you get to heaven and find Kurt Cobain and the aforementioned Gypsy jazz legend jamming together, the closest you may come to hearing that all-star duo is listening to the amazing GUSTAV VIEHMEYER performing on today's episode of this show. Gustav may be just 26 years old, but he swings like a veteran jazzer. And he has guitar chops that will thrill jazz fans and rock/metal/shred fans alike. And yes, you will hear Gustav stretch out on Nirvana's biggest hit (that one about “Teen Spirit”). Based in Sarasota, FL, Gustav is a full-time musician who gigs all over the place — including, as you'll find out, all by himself in St. Armand's Circle, busking with a hollowbody guitar, a looper, and a guitar amp. Presented by GUITAR PLAYER Magazine and guitarplayer.com. Hosted by JUDE GOLD.

This week, Mike talks with artist, educator, and journalist Nikki O'Neill. Nikki shares how her evolving story from growing up in Sweden to interviewing amazing guitarists for Guitar Player Magazine have shaped her musical style.
