In this one, Cody talks to Mr. Whitekeys. He's a showman, a performer and a musician, and for over 50 years he's been entertaining Alaska with his music, his shows and his books. He started playing music in Anchorage in the 1970s at Chilkoot Charlie's. In those days, the bars didn't close until 5 am. So, a band could play for as long as 7 ½ hours — from 9 pm to 4:30 am. Keys says that for a musician it wasn't about the entertainment, it was an endurance contest. From those years spent playing at Koots, he learned how to read an audience, to understand what entertains them. Then in 1980, he opened The Fly By Night Club. It featured long-running shows that parodied Alaska like “The Whale Fat Follies” and “Christmas In Spenard.” They had original songs, costumes, props, sets and slideshows. You could even get a meal of Spam there. The goal was to provide Anchorage with a cheap laugh, some infectious music and a good time. Alaska, as it existed in the ‘70s, continues to influence Keys' idea of Alaska. There was a renegade spirit to it back then, he says, and there wasn't much influence from the Outside. There were no food chains, no big box stores and people lived how they wanted to live. That's why he came to Alaska and he never left. It was unpretentious, just like Keys. In fact, at one point, he had a rule that he would never go to any entertainment-related event if they didn't serve nachos. So, he laughs when asked what he thinks his legacy will be because he's just a normal guy looking for a good time. Not someone to be put on a pedestal. But he says that if he did have one — if he did have a legacy — it would be that he spent his life telling Alaska's story.

It is basically a song expressing the desire to actually be in a relationship with someone, with all the perks that come with that.”Until “Cuff,” he also hadn't written a song where the theme is wanting to be in a relationship — to cuff.That said, this song doesn't have any double entendres.“No double meanings,” he said, and that applies to the clean, radio cut as well as the explicit one.Kiss on them lips be how I make you wetterCrossing the finish we'll do it togetherBody a canvas I'm painting it vividTalking is cheap so I paid you a visit“Cuff is like a slang for getting together. It doesn't even have to be on a sexual level, it could just be personal, having to do with wanting to set expectations and walk into something official,” he said.In either version, “Cuff” is an easy listening, swinging R&B number in which Penny puts his smooth voice to a soulful melody that is very different from his previous work, which was a lot of streetwise hip-hop and rap — more edge than R&B.His earlier output had the pounding beats and flow of the street. “Cuff” has the soft, rhythmic melodies of the bedroom and the interaction between lovers.Penny is a Coloradoan transplanted to Anchorage, Alaska, where he moved to be near family and for opportunity.“I've been doing music for a while. I officially started releasing music on platforms with professional engineering, and mixing in 2019, but I was learning myself as an artist, trying to find my lane and what fits me the best, and I think with ‘Cuff' I found it. This is the version of me that's ready to be out there worldwide. I regard this as my first official release.”Even in his edgy days, his work had some unique touches. The love-gone-wrong motif of “Favorite,” for instance, also had some Christian themes of forgiveness, which he said is a big part of his music.“I would say my earlier self was more of me having fun being confident and whatever it is that I was trying to do.”But, he said, he turned away from that route in favor of a more R&B vibe“I'm more in touch with the R&B side because it is just so relatable. Everybody goes through some sort of relationship, and things aren't perfect — ever. I felt like there's a chance for me to speak on things that may be hard for other people to put into words.”“Cuff” represents yet one more milestone in his career. “I'm proud to say that I wrote it all myself, and it blows me away that people who have had a chance to hear it are really impressed by the structure and the writing,” he said.The video also drops on June 5. His previous catalogue, which has a lot of fine hip-hop, will stay up as a kind of history of his music.“Cuff” will be the lead single on another six-track EP he will release sometime in the next year. The working title is The Butterfly Effect.He is working hard toward his goal of gaining a million listeners by the end of this year or in early 2025. He and his production team spend about six or seven hours on every song, playing with various mixes before mastering, working toward having something to show to big labels.He had a show recently, in May, and will be doing shows throughout June. In October, he will be the headline at one of Anchorage's premier entertainment clubs, Koots.He wants his music to reach a mass audience, and, he said, “I want ‘Cuff” to be heard by everyone. I want it to be reached by masses of people. That's why I put it out in a clean version as well as an explicit one — just giving the option.”He said that, as an artist, “you have to gravitate toward what you are, who you are.”And with his sound, he said, “I am ready to grow.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with Mike Gordon, the former owner of Chilkoot Charlies, a famous bar along Spenard road in Anchorage, Alaska. They talk about Mike's travels—the ones he did for work and the ones that have made the biggest impact on him — he explains the early days of Koots, the prevalence of cocaine in Alaska during the 70s and how the late night scene has changed since then. They also discuss how bars are unfairly judged and the feeling of responsibility when people got hurt on Koots property.
For Cameron Wenaus and the team at Retreat Guru in Nelson, a fairly mundane act of renting out a spare desk in their office was the spark for a runaway wildfire of co-working success. The concept is all the rage, a growing trend around the globe and has long been thought to be one of the key’s to unlocking the Kootenays creative, tech and knowledge based industry potential. A number of efforts around the Koots have had varying results. With the new Jam Factory space, run by, and the home of Retreat Guru, Cam and his team have figured out the magic formula to make it work. Start renting a spare desk in your startup’s office space, grow your tech company from 4 to 12 people, take over a massive old heritage building in downtown Nelson, renovate it into a successful co-working space and fill it with a mix of energetic and exciting small, largely tech and mindfulness based businesses, all while spawning collaboration and growth in a new industry and maybe even helping launch new start-ups from your space? You Can Do That Here!
