The granddaughter of Academy Award winning actress Loretta Young and the daughter of Peter Lewis, a founding member of ‘60s psychedelic cult heroes Moby Grape . . . Arwen's EP is available on the OMAD RECORDS . . the imprint of Oscar-winning singer/songwriter John DeNicola. . . While Arwen's self-titled debut, features her interpretations of her father's songs, this time out she's flying higher, as both producer and writer. Self-penned tunes include the layered, wistfully longing “Man on the Moon” and the beautiful heartbreak of “Winter,” showcased in two arrangements—once with gently growling guitar and again accompanied by piano and cello. Not that Arwen could resist digging into her dad's archive, with a lilting, countrified cover of his “Black Moon.” Plus, she brings her earnest, unaffected gift to a pair of iconic tunes: a trumpet-driven version of Jackson Browne's “Doctor My Eyes” and a frankly folky take on Joni Mitchell's “I Think I Understand.” The EP came together organically, at first just she and a friend—guitar impresario Jonathan McEuen—“scratching out ideas in my living room,” Arwen says. Jonathan mentored me,” Arwen candidly admits. “He also arranged everything perfectly—truly the musical director for this project.” A select few recruits from the deep end of the California talent pool came aboard next, including rock and roll “space traveler” Jason Achilles, Los Angeles film composer/all-around scene staple George Adrian, and trumpeter Jeff Elliott. Plus, yes, Peter Lewis is present as well, slinging a Strat on one track. The recording was finished at Surprise Studio with Graham Palmer as the engineer. “While I had complete creative control,” says Arwen, who also plays guitar on the record, “I was lucky enough to get together with amazing musicians who were in sync with the way I hoped to express these songs.” “The songs I wrote as well as the ones I chose reflect the music I was raised on: Joni, Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, Nina Simone,” she says, noting that embracing the music of others, adding your unique twist, and the putting it out there is “basic to the communal tradition of folk, passing the songs from person to person, generation to generation.” That's why, while she has no big tour plans, Arwen will play live, here and there, from South X Southwest to the local West Coast venues she loves. Indeed, she might well be singing about the importance of performance on “Man on the Moon” when she promises: “Believing in the stars that I cannot see, I know there's a way to where you are.” Arwen's talked about her famous grandmother Loretta Young hosting episode on her TV Show THE LORETTA YOUNG SHOW...here are a couple from youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MhWK6o306Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVX0tkfWRN8https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2Ua5T9t7qPY

THE ARWEN LEWIS SHOW Today, Arwen welcomes the prolific music artist Jonathan McEuen to the show! Jonathan McEuen is a guitar virtuoso with a voice that sings directly to one's soul. He's spent his life on the stage and in recording studios, creating and performing music in country rock, bluegrass, Americana, rock and roll, and more. By age six, Jonathan was on stage with his father at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, performing for sold-out crowds. Jonathan has recorded a vast array of solo materials, collaborated and toured with his father, John McEuen, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dave Mason, and many more. You could compare Jonathan to Elvis Presley with a shimmer of Jimmy Hendrix, but he is most certainly unique and in some ways, incomparable in his masterful talents as a musician.

An archive favorite featuring the multi-talented Johnathon McEuen. He is the son of Nitty Dirt Band Founding Member John McEuen. Jonathon not only has played guitar and sung with his family, but he has also worked with such renowned artists as Dwight Yoakam, Dave Mason, and Robben Ford, to name a few. This is a great program. Enjoy.
Crazy fun with Alvino M. Bennett who's played with everyone from Muddy Waters, Minnie Riperton, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Bryan Ferry, LTD, to Dave Mason, and so many more along the way. Starting as a 10 yr old in inner city Chicago, playing in the drum and bugle corps, club gigging at 12, say what?!? Having a manager and playing pro by 14, Alvino told great stories, and included so many of the players beyond the front men and women he hit the stage and studio with. He listed his favorite drummers, starting with his soulful biggest influence, Buddy Miles, Talked of how he found his groove at the super Dome with LTD, when given direction during a sound check, what it felt like to play the first song he wrote for 100K people with Bic lighters, how the dancing of the Four Tops and the Temptations influenced his style to this day, how he learned to read music, play piano, and guitars, write music, and produce. Playing The Tonight Show with Stevie Wonder, who gifted Johnny, and with Sheena Easton, and what touring with her was like…. likewise with Chaka and Bryan Ferry. How he met Dave Mason and that journey 16 years later. The dream to play with Clapton, live. He played a few great original tracks, Dream Lover, an instant favorite, with the great Jonathan McEuen, he shook his thang, his bling is a whole other thing. #Want ~ Loved every minute. Alvino’s music can be found on iTunes. Check it. His special thanks to GRETSCH Drums, PAISTE Cymbals, and VATER Sticks.

JONATHAN McEUEN has spent two decades of working with an astounding array of artists like Dwight Yoakam, Dolly Parton, Wynonna Judd, and others. He recently realized that if he was ever going to make the artistic impact he envisioned with his music, he would need to declare his independence once and for all. McEuen's new release, ‘Through The Sun Gate', is a symbolic illumination as he steps into a world of total artistic control with a collection of songs that chronicle his journey from Nashville to Ventura and back again. Drawing from a deep well of musical influences that range from The Flying Burrito Brothers to Buck Owens and Earl Scruggs, McEuen has crafted a true California-meets-Nashville gem. THE TROLL SMASHERS are a folk trio playing funky and fresh roots music with fiddles, mandolins, fingerstyle guitar, and decadently layered harmonies. Chalk it up to folksmash. This Austin, Texas trio has just released a debut EP. WoodSongs Kid: Georgia Turpin is a 15-year-old actress, singer and dancer from Harrodsburg, Kentucky. She performs the Edith Piaf classic “La Vie En Rose”
