Jon Gindick released his debut album, When We Die, We All Come Back As Music, back in August and it has garnered him a lot of notice.  A world-renowned harmonica instructor, Jon holds his Harmonica Jam Camps throughout the year in Clarksdale, MS.  Jon and I will talk about his music, the new album and the mentoring he does so well. Sean Chambers, has a new album which drops on March 17th.  Circumstances* have given us the opportunity to be first to speak with Sean about Trouble & Whiskey.  We'll listen to some tunes, and talk to Sean about his life and music since he was last here back in 2013.  THANKS Sean for jumping in. Jim Koeppel has not released an album since 2009.  This new EP, RSVP To Paradise contains 5 tunes, three compose with Cash McCall.  A bandleader since the late ‘80’s, Jim has performed internationally and opened for some of the legends.  He and I will talk about his career and life, while we listen to tunes from the album. Lisa Biales returns to The Couch to talk about her new release, The Beat Of My Heart.  A sensational singer, songwriter and performer, I always love sitting and talking with this incredibly talented woman. *Popa Chubby was scheduled, but his European Tour date changed and he had to leave earlier than expected.  We will work on rescheduling in the future
