Podcasts about kelcy mae

A native of North Louisiana, Ever More Nest's Kelcy Wilburn (“Kelcy Mae”) is as equally influenced by the gospel, country, and blues of her Bible Belt hometown as she is by the emotional rawness of the artists that consumed her generation: Cranberries, Counting Crows, Tori Amos, Radiohead, et al. At 18, she moved to New Orleans, where open-mindedness and acceptance gave her the freedom to be herself and to find her voice. As a student of creative writing, she fostered a love of language evident across her early releases as Kelcy Mae and across Ever More Nest's debut and sophomore albums. (evermorenest.com) Kelcy and I met at FARM (Folk Alliance Region Midwest) near Chicago this past October. I immediately took a liking to her music and personality, and was excited to get to speak with her on my show. The two of us are also connected through our mutual friends, Louise Baker and Bruce Swan of Baker Booking. (Bruce was on episode 89 of MCRS) Our conversation delves into Kelcy's childhood and roots in music, her new album ("Out Here Now" - Aug 19, 2022), and her extraordinarily written website bio. EMN is also releasing a single, "Happy New Year" on December 2.

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Ever More Nest (specifically lead singer/songwriter Kelcy Mae). Ever More Nest's new album, "Out Here Now" was produced by Neilson Hubbard. With contributions from multi-instrumentalists Will Kimbrough, Fats Kaplin and bassist Dean Marold, it's hard to go wrong. I really love this new album. It's so soulful and emotive. I highly recommend it as well as Ever More Nest's 2018 album, "The Place That You Call Home." I loved getting to learn more about Ever More Nest, their story and their music and I hope you do too. As always email me at jack@jackbarksdale.com for any questions or show ideas.

Join your host Will Payne Harrison as he interviews New Orleans songwriter Kelcy Mae of Ever More Nest as she talks about her new album The Place That You Call Home.

Linda Seabright and James Arey have a lot in common. Linda is a radio personality on KRCB, one of the NPR stations in San Francisco. James is a radio personality on Classical 104.9 in New Orleans, and you might have heard him in his previous incarnation as an announcer on New Orleans NPR station, WWNO. How James jumped ship and ended up back on the same ship is a pretty interesting tale. How Linda ended up teaching mindfulness while still contemplating her previous 6 boyfriends going all the way back to the guy she toured Europe with for a year on 800 is an even more interesting tale. While all that s going on, Kelcy Mae has a new band, called Ever More Nest, a new spirit guide, and a new record coming out, called The Place That You Call Home. And perhaps what might be the biggest revelation to come out of today s show you can get Quaaludes legally in South Africa. If you don t know what a Quaalude is, we ll be selling them at Happy Hour as soon as C Rock hooks us up. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon.

Even in a town like New Orleans where life is often lived in public on the street and stoop, singer songwriter Kelcy Mae's heart is on her sleeve. And in her adopted city. At prestigious festivals across the country and in more intimate gigs at home, Kelcy's lyrics reveal her background as a published poet as Kelcy Wilburn and her melodies come from a blend of genetic Americana and church growing up in rural Shreveport Louisiana singing hymns. A long way from church, in this edition of Milo's Music Parlor, Kelcy tells Kim about the drama that seems to open up before her and naturally cry out for her pen and voice like moving to New Orleans, falling in love and finding herself living on the same block as a murder.

Arthur Meek is a New Zealander who sounds like stepped out of Flight of the Conchords but actually he stepped out of his car mere minutes after driving into New Orleans from visiting Graceland and blowing the head off of a guy at point blank range in Mississippi and joined us on Happy Hour. Arthur has been in the United States trying to drum up support for his campaign to have sex with Hillary Clinton. He makes a pretty convincing argument on this show. If Hillary is the Democratic candidate for President in 2016, screwing Arthur could conceivably make more sense than screwing over whomever else she s up against. Alex Beard has a whole other way of figuring out what the hell s going on in the universe. It s called the Divine Proportion. If you re thinking that s maybe the name of the pie at Camellia Grill,it s actually 1.618. Entirely without the aid of pot, Alex is able to explain the relationship between the world s only known unicellular organism and your eye looking at a Jackson Pollack painting. This whole consideration of the unifying elements of the universe starts when Lucy Cordts is badgered into admitting she could read music and play Bach by the age of 8 years old in Peoria, Illinois. Today Lucy plays banjo, mandolin, and sings in the Kelcy Mae band. If you re a fan of this show you may also remember Lucy as "Puddin ." In her waking hours when she s not playing music Lucy is the Social Services Supervisor at the NO AIDS Task Force. Lucy s take on what s going in the local health scene in general and the HIV world in particular might surprise you. Actually, that s a guarantee. Andrew Duhon tries out a new song, The Spirit Lives On. And, yes, it sure does. Photos on this page are taken at Wayfare by the pride of Lafayette, Alison Moon.

Joaquin Emiliano moved to New Orleans with the plan of killing himself on his 35th birthday as a publicity stunt for the publication of his novel, Suicide Notes From A Wedding. Discovering that, like everything else he s attempted in his life, he d failed again, Joaquin finds himself not only living dammit but living near Tulane University in a neighborhood surrounded by "obnoxious students" in a city that has been seriously over hyped and in which he can see little mystery or magic. It s hard to tell what s real and what s merely an extremely funny and beguiling persona with Joaquin, but falling anyplace on the continuum between Woody Allen and a lounge lizard makes for an awesome Happy Hour guest. Danielle Burrell is either the Joaquin antidote, a piece of clever complementary guest booking by producer Graham daPonte, or proof that God and Satan are fighting it out for control of the city. Danielle is the founder of Treux North Fitness, a Zumba dance exponent, a mom, and a bride to be. Danielle tells an awesome story of her first date which includes non existant comedy and whipped cream after meeting the love of her life over a board game. Danielle s fiance Jeremy showed up at Happy Hour and joined the party. Hazy Ray are one of Happy Hour s favorite music guests. Today Joshua Ray and P. Michael Hays II the Hays Ray core of the group bring along Ryan Patrick to play some of the coolest, jazz inflected riffs we ve heard in some time. Joshua sings the band s new single, "Superman," which turns out to be about the unrequited love of an old girlfriend. Songwriters, here s an interesting observation. Apparently it doesn t matter how in love you are with your wife nor how much in love she is with you, the ex girlfriend you wrote a song about however many years ago before I met you can still be a problem. So Joshua digs himself out of having that conversation at home by singing a beautiful and danceable love song called "Linda" for his wife, Linda. Andrew Duhon is roaming around the nation playing guitar and so Kelcy Mae is sitting in for him today in the sidekick chair. Kelcy s knowledge of teenage alcoholics and Atlanta preachers assures her of a return invitation. The photos on this page were taken at Casa Borrega by fab photographer Cheryl DalPozzal.

New Orleans is a small city. People refer jokingly to "one degree of separation." But what happens on this Happy Hour is beyond any coincidence you could imagine. If this was in a movie you d dismiss it as being insanely implausible. Without ruining the revelation of the conversation, here s what you need to know. Sarah Arcenaux and Beau Ross have never met each other before sitting down across the table this evening on Happy Hour. Sarah is a bartender at Ralph s On The Park in Mid City. She s moving soon to be a bartender at the newly renovated Brennan s on Royal Street in the Quarter. Sarah didn t start out to have a career in the service industry, though she discovered she s a natural at it and now she loves it. Sarah set out to be a writer. She still dabbles in writing. Beau is co owner and wine afficianado at Bacchanal in the Bywater. Beau didn t set out to have a career in the service industry, though he discovered he s a natural at it and now he loves it. Beau set out to be a writer. He still dabbles in writing. Okay, so now you re thinking Sarah and Beau have similar backgrounds, similar occupations, and similar life trajectories. Big deal. There are probably hundreds of people in New Orleans who are writers of some description working in bars. And you re right, there probably are. But that s not what Sarah and Beau have in common. Their similarities are merely evidence of what they might have in common that s much deeper than any of these details. Saying any more here would be a total spoiler. All we can say is, no matter what you re thinking Sarah and Beau s connection might be, there s no way you can see this one coming. Kelcy Mae makes a more than welcome return to Happy Hour, this time bringing Sam Cords, the brother of her partner and banjo mandolin player, Pudd n, to join her on guitar. Kelcy is spearheading an all star fundraiser for the Apex Youth Center in Central City, and plays two songs on this evening s show. By the way, Kelcy is also a writer and likes to pour a drink, but she doesn t share any deeper coincidences with Sarah and Beau. Sarah cements her candidacy for Best Guest Ever by bringing her own home made booze, and bottles of it as gifts The photos on this page are taken at Wayfare by Douglas Engel. You can see even more photos here. And that s Max Cusimano shooting video. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Lisa McKenzie takes a plane to or from her New Orleans home and a man sits next to her on the flight, more often than not he ends up touching her. Do you find that unusual If you re a woman, when was the last time some strange guy next to you on a plane touched you, and you thought it was acceptable If you re a guy, when was the last time you reached out and touched a strange woman s bra strap It s the bra strap that does it. Lisa is the creator of Ooh La Bra, the designer bra straps that are meant to be seen, and apparently touched. The stranger touching the leather straps that Lisa is wearing today is Keith LeBlanc. Keith is the co founder of MHM Urgent Care, of which there are now 11 around New Orleans and vicinity, or 14 if you got up to get a drink and sat back down a minute later. Keith will also tell you if you have diabetes for free and if you think you don t, don t be so sure. Keith s already found 200 diabetics in the past two months so many that he s Diabetic Father of the Year, or something very similar. If you ve been wondering who is New Orleans preeminent intellectual, political, professorial Loyola University , Swahili, spiritual hip hop artist, we ve got your Truth Universal right here. Truth makes his second appearance on Happy Hour and does a couple of tracks from his new album, Invent The Future, live. In an extremely unlikely turn of events cocktails Grant, Lisa, Keith, and Kelcy do back up vocals. Yes, Kelcy Mae is back, sitting in for the troubadouring Andrew Duhon. The pictures on this page were taken by the bi pedal Douglas Engel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robin Rosemond started early. She left home at 13 and for her 18th birthday got thrown in jail for fighting a cop. A couple of kids and a long marriage to Herr Hoffmeister later, Robin found herself having an existential crisis at The Nutcracker Ballet in Anchorage Alaska and spending the next few years alone in the never ending Northern night "where the odds are good but the goods are odd." Don t ask Jedd Haas where he went to school. Unless you ve already decided you don t want to be his friend. He s a good guy to be friends with though if you stay off of the education question you ll get to sample some his award winning booze. Jedd is the founder of Atelier Vie distillery, where he makes Absinthe, whisky, and the award winning Euphrosine 9 Gin that he brought with him to this show. We don t like to give anyone free commercials but without a word of exaggeration this is the greatest gin you ve ever tasted. Jedd describes it as "Gin for people who don t like gin" and he s right it s in a class of its own. Which is why it won a gold medal at the distilling olympics. Even Casa Borrega s Hugo, an avowed tequila monogamist, was won over. Google changed Kelcy Mae s partner s name. It started out as Lucy but Google, like Kelcy, preferred Pudd n and so that s how it goes now Google is running the universe. As if that isn t enough to deal with, Kelcy s dad wants to be Elvis and her ex is crazy. Thank God Kelcy is an awesomely talented songwriter and singer and can weave all these experiences into elegant, smart, witty songs and wash it all down with some slick guitar playing. Is Happy Hour producer Graham daPonte dancing On a sad note, our fabulous Happy Hour photographer Douglas Engel is living with the fishes. He s not dead or snuffed out by the Mob, he s literally taking care of some fish ponds. Hey, it s New Orleans our photographer is also an aquaculturist.
