Our guest this episode comes from the other side of the business. Diana Cox is the Vice President of Kessler Presents, the managing company behind The Kessler Theater, The Heights Theater, and the newly reopened Longhorn Ballroom. We had a fascinating conversation and Diana had some really great insight and advice for younger musicians trying to get booked at these storied venues. She also had a few great stories about some of the stranger musician rider requests. As well as what it was like getting some classic and historical music collectibles delivered to their offices.
Greg is an SMU professor who hails from Pumpkin Bend, Arkansas. He's also the lead singer for Beekeeper Spaceman and the editor of the Southwest Review. It is under the auspices of the latter that he is launching a new literary festival. Frontera runs April 12 and 13 in three Oak Cliff venues (Wild Detectives, the Texas Theatre, and the Kessler Theater). So we talked with Greg about how you stage a lit fest that feels less like homework and more like a party. And we talked about one of the most amazing physical feats ever performed in the city of Arkadelphia (by him). If you have a minute, throw us some stars and write a review of the podcast.

Maaaan hold up! This week I got to sit down with a man who has been a friend and a mentor to me for like 30 years, Jeff Liles. This man has stories and I think just about anyone would enjoy listening to this one. I first met Jeff when he was a member of the group Decadent Dub Team, an experimental, electronic, hip-hop group from Dallas. The man has literally done it all and has always looked out for me in my journey through the music world. I was like 19 years old maybe 20 when we met and soon after noticed that he was thanked on the back of the NWA and the Posse record. I was floored for real. Like how the hell did that happen? Dude from Dallas thanked on the back of one of my favorite records of all time??? Well listen and find out just how that happened. The stories on this one are amazing. His musical knowledge and experience is unmatched, Jeff is a truly unique individual who has always stayed true to himself and his mission and the music. We got to talk at the Kessler Theater (where I also did Episode 1 with Money Waters) about the history of Deep Ellum, NWA, his time in Los Angeles, Decadent Dub Team, his solo project Cottonmouth, TX, The Buck Pets, The Axiom, tripping balls at a Grateful Dead concert as a teenager, man we just went in. As always thank you for checking out Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala and tell a friend to tell a friend to tune in on all platforms!

He is a Pastor's kid that went “awry” and pursued one of the toughest markets in the country: music. Nate has been active in the music scene since he was 14 years-old specifically as a drummer. He's been apart of many incredible bands, numerous records and tours over is 24-year music career. Not only as a drummer, but as a producer as well. Throughout episode 34, Nate and the guys also discuss his time spent between Nashville and Dallas and how the music scenes compare. He talks about that "Woah" moment where he said, "Dear mom, I made it," and that story was incredible. Lastly, Nate is also an avid sports fan specifically to the Dallas Cowboys. I know they don't typically get a lot of love on our show, so we gave Nate the chance to have a little sports segment. We hope all of you Cowboy fans enjoy it while it's here.
