Greetings Dead Freaks!BrokedownPod returns with new music, a great guest, and some good old Grateful Dead. Andy Logan, founder of the Grateful Guitars Foundation and steward of Jerry Garcia's Alligator guitar joins me to discuss the mission of the foundation, the magic within these special instruments, a new benefit album, and the upcoming show to support the foundation. The new album, which benefits Grateful Guitars, is called "Grateful: The Music Plays The Band" and features Oteil Burbridge, Dave Nelson Band, Dark Star Orchestra, Afro Dead and more. It's out now and can be found in physical and streaming outlets via this link.The benefit concert is on August 13 at the Great American Music Hall (an auspicious date to be in that room) and features Melvin Seals, John Kadlecik, Pete Sears, Barry Sless, Dave Hidalgo and a bunch of other great players. Tickets are on sale now and you can learn more at the Grateful Guitars website. Please do check out the mission of the Grateful Guitars foundation and consider offering your support.Also in this episode, I spoke about a few new albums that I'm enjoying. From Elkhorn, I raved about the fuzzed out explorations on their album "Other Worlds", out now from Sunrise Ocean Bender/Feeding Tube/Cardinal Fuzz/Deep Water Acres. I didn't mention that the joint release is a tribute to the founder of SOB, Kevin McFadin who passed last year. I had some interactions with McFadin myself and enjoyed a number of SOB releases. He will certainly be missed.You can grip "Other Worlds" via Sunrise Ocean Bender's Bandcamp Page.You can grip the other Elkhorn release, "The Red Valley" from VHF records; also on Bandcamp.If you're on the hunt for some more new music, take a minute to peruse my Bandcamp collection. This is just stuff that I have picked up on the site over the years and I don't get anything from it other than the satisfaction that I've helped someone find something awesome.Last but far from least, the latest from Seawind of Battery, "East Coast Cosmic Dreamscaper" is available for your own dreamscape accompaniment via Warhen records.

Welcome back!#1—John Heilemann and Bob Crawford talk politics and music. This podcast is just getting going, and it's really cool so far. On the second episode of the podcast, Bob speaks with John Heilemann, the best-selling author of Game Change, co-host of Showtime's The Circus, MSNBC contributor, and former staff writer for Wired and New York Magazine. Bob and John discuss where the Democratic primary race stands with Iowa and New Hampshire in the books, and assess the state of the top contenders' campaigns as the race moves to Nevada and prepares for Michael Bloomberg's entry. #2—Trey is everywhere! In addition to being able to see Trey play with Oysterhead last week in Denver, sitting in with Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at this resort and streaming the Mexico shows if you didn't make it down here, you can also see TAB this Spring, including one show with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. So, here's the question I have—does Trey ever sleep? Want dates for TAB, Oysterhead and more? Check out JamBase.#3—John Kadlecik on Inside Out with Turner and Seth. Covered by our friends at JamBase, John Kadlecik appeared on Inside Out With Turner and Seth podcast. Hosts Seth and Rob talk with John about his time with Dark Star Orchestra and Furthur, attending Phish's Clifford Ball as well as improvisation and songwriting. He also talks about his belief that “ancient intelligence” drives improvisation. As with every Osiris podcast, you can stream this episode on JamBase's website. #4—Last episode of Freak Flag Flying released. We've heard a lot about Crosby this week, including a Rolling Stone article talking about his upcoming appearance at Kent State for the 50th anniversary of the shootings that happened there in 1970. On the last episode of Freak Flag Flying, Tom Marshall talks with host Steve Silberman about his path from diehard music fan to bestselling author, the influence of the Beat poets on both David Crosby's generation of musicians and on Steve personally, and a whole lot more. As usual, we play some very rare music that you can only hear on this podcast.#5—Jon Barber talks Tractorbeam on Touchdowns All Day. E023 of “Touchdowns All Day w/ Jon Barber” is all about Tractorbeam, featuring Coaches Derek Van Scoten of Cloudchord & Adrian Santos aka Space Cookie. We leave you with some Tractorbeam music and discussion. The Drop is brought to you by Osiris Media, hosted, produced and... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This episode features Rob's interview with guitarist and songwriter John Kadlecik, who comes roaring out the gate with some strikingly candid commentary on previous songwriter collaborations. John talks about how it feels as though "ancient intelligence" takes over during improvisation, about how while in Furthur he was able to find his space between the approaches of Bob Weir and Phil Lesh (from tempo to touring preferences) and playfully speaks of Mickey Hart "raiding" a Hunter lyric John had put to song. John talks about his early days, particularly one early teacher's response to John's interest in learning how to improvise on violin. He also talks about his various pre-Dark Star Orchestra musical outfits, and some of the decision points behind initially committing his musical life to, and the eventual evolution of DSO. John and Rob move through a ton of topics, spending a bit of time on JK's On The Road release in general, with John shedding particular light on the story behind "The Hanging of John Collins" in particular. We even learn of how John attended Phish's Clifford Ball as a guest of the band's drummer Jon Fishman, of how JK was surprised to learn that his own musical ethos was in some part an echo of that of Bach, about his experience playing Radio City Music Hall with Furthur in the immediate wake of Weir and Lesh learning of the death of "Bear" Owsley and about the time John met John Barlow. The episode ends with a skeletal version of "So Blue" which John wrote with Robert HunterwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode features the second part of Rob's lengthy chat with Marc Brownstein, the bassist of Star Kitchen and Disco Biscuits. Marc explains how the initial genesis of Star Kitchen occurred when he chased down guitarist Danny Mayer at Mayer's son's little league baseball game. Brownstein goes on to reveal how the band decided to add keyboardist Rob Marscher and drummer Marlon Lewis and the spices that each continue to bring to the kitchen. We even hear a snippet of a song from Roadside Attraction, one of Rob's first bands. Marc also relates that while they are learning classic soul/R&B music, they for the most part are focusing on deep cuts, and as one fan commented - they are essentially, "taking these classic songs are remixing them live." Marc relates how he became a better musician just by playing and sharing notes with John Kadlecik, shares some insight on modes + scales, explains how "off-time" songs work best when most listeners don't even realize the song's unique tempo and he gives examples of how his approach to songwriting has evolved He also relates his memory of the night that his bandmates Aron Magner and (original drummer) Sam Altman spontaneously came up with the sound that would become a significant part of the band's future. Brownie also points to three things that greatly fueled The Biscuits' growth and tells a fantastic Stanley Jordan story. This episode also offers a good bit of Star Kitchen's performance in Atlanta last fall, opening for The New Mastersounds. wTnS Sponsors: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As always, Rudi Greenberg of the Washington Post Express will join us to talk about his favorite shows from November and run through upcoming December shows you won't want to miss.
John Kadlecik has been on the show before and we always enjoy welcoming such a talented guy. We were absolutely blown away by his new solo record On The Road, not only because of the tunes but because the time and care John put into tracking the record. The whole record is tremendous, and I would encourage you to grab it at johnkmusic.net.

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.

When I sat down with John Kadlecik, I wasn’t entirely sure how the conversation would go, and certainly wasn’t sure how he’d respond to some of the questions I had. There is no doubt he is an extremely talented guitar player and vocalist, but stepping into the shoes or at least performing the work of Jerry Garcia on a regular basis is no easy feat. Couple that with the ferocious tour schedule and constant playing, I suspected John was going to be a touch ornery. Turns out, he was awesome, and had lots to share. For the uninitiated, John founded Dark Star Orchestra along with several other bands, and was the lead guitar player for Further with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. You can learn more about John and his tour schedule on his website here!
