Bryan Adams is a rock music legend. With 16 albums under his belt, he's estimated to have sold between 75 million and 100 million records and singles during his 45 year career. His most recent album, ‘Roll with the Punches', harkens back to his earlier releases, with the rock sound that's made him so popular over the years. And off the back of an extensive string of international dates, Adams is bringing his ‘Roll with the Punches Tour' to New Zealand next March. Adams has seen major success, but his drive to create has never waned. “I'm not one of those people that sort of, rests on my laurels and is just sort of quite happy to go back and do the same thing over and over,” he told Jack Tame. “I enjoy the creativity and I really like, you know, putting songs together.” “I've still got the melodies in my head, so I gotta get them out.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard died today in a motorcycle crash in Ireland at the age of 56. We sat down with him in April to talk about his storied career and his final album, "Don+t Settle – Transmissions East and West." Here's what we wrote about that conversation at the time.–The song “Falling Slowly” first debuted in the 2007 indie romance film “Once” starring Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard and Czech-Islandic singer-songwriter Markéta Irglová. It tells the story of a dramatized version of their own musical partnership.That song won an Oscar for best original song and the musical duo became a hit in the U.S. when they recorded and toured as The Swell Season.But long before any success stateside, Hansard was a fixture of the Irish music scene, first busking on Dublin streets at age 13. And in 1990 he formed the Irish rock group The Frames.Today, Hansard is reflecting on his decades of music-making and looking ahead. His new two-part album is called “Don+t Settle – Transmissions East and West.” He sits down with us to talk about the first part.Find more of our programs online.

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music. Along the way, they might be engineering the recordings, picking the songs, guiding the singers, picking the best takes of songs, balancing egos, fixing the lyrics, booking the studio time, buying lunch, playing instruments, pushing artists further, writing or cowriting the songs, selecting the musicians to use, overseeing the mixes, and many other tasks. Making records is always a combination of many skills and goals, and the producer needs to have what it takes to make the session productive and the music compelling.In this book, interviewees include people who have worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, P!nk, U2, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Wu-Tang Clan, David Bowie, T.Rex, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, the Replacements, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, and Sabrina Carpenter, plus more. And that's just the beginning of the credits these producers―Brian Eno, Finneas, Glyn Johns, Hank Shocklee, Jack Antonoff, Joe Boyd, Jon Brion, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Linda Perry, Mark Ronson, RZA, Sasami, Steve Lillywhite, Susan Rogers, T Bone Burnett, and many others―collectively hold.All of these interviews come from the pages of Tape Op magazine, founded in 1996 by editor Larry Crane. Over the last thirty years, along with publisher John Baccigaluppi, Tape Op has become the world's deepest archive of conversations about the art and science of recording music, and is still an active, print-based magazine with the highest circulation of any recording magazine in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

What happens to tradition, personal identity, and creative freedom when an artist decides to completely rewrite the rules of the musical game in real time?  In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with the phenomenal award-winning Indian singer and musician, Rashmeet Kaur. Known widely for her boundary-pushing fluid artistry, Rashmeet has carved out a completely unique sonic footprint by effortlessly bridging centuries-old traditional Punjabi root music with contemporary house, techno, hip-hop, and Afro beats.  Rashmeet pulls back the curtain on her creative philosophy and what keeps her deeply in love with the limitless nature of music. She explains why she actively practices spiritual detachment from her studio work to protect her creative sanity, and why chasing safe commercial "hit records" is a dangerous trap that completely kills artistic experimentation.  We also dive deep into what the modern music industry must urgently unlearn to create safe and empowering spaces for independent creators, the divine raga-driven origin story behind her debut hit "Kahaan," and how she is fiercely connecting with her live audiences to genuinely live in the moment.  Rashmeet shares insights on:• The Power of Detachment: The harsh realities of Bollywood playback singing and why learning to let go of creative attachments anchors her independent career.  • The "Hit Song" Trap: Why she refuses requests for sequels to hits like "Ishq Nachaawe" or "Bajre Da Sitta" in order to keep her artistic intimacy fresh.  • The Divine Roots of "Kahaan": How she channelizes Sarang Raag to build an emotional environment that transforms a deeply personal journey into a live pop community.  • Vocal Cord Preservation: Bouncing between high-energy stage extroversion and entering a strict, isolated "mute mode" to protect her instrument.  • Unlearning the Hustle Trap: Why industry gatekeepers need to stop replicating past hardships and instead build safe, accessible community spaces for the next generation.  Whether you're an aspiring artist trying to navigate the modern digital music landscape, a fan of cutting-edge global fusion, or someone looking to practice deep mindfulness in a hyper-connected world, Rashmeet's masterclass in creative conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.  If you enjoyed this deep dive, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to scale their own vision!  --------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome02:35 Backstage Rituals and Introversion/Extroversion05:29 The Early Training: Learning from the Gurus and Finding Endless Limits07:55 Unlearning Playback Attachments & Finding Independence in Songwriting10:17 What the Music Industry Must Unlearn to Provide Free, Safe Spaces12:11 Escaping the "Hit Song" Trap: Embracing Imperfection and Experimentation15:02 Sponsor Break: Lotus Lane Coffee and Travelopod16:01 Preserving Musical  Intimacy 21:12 Storytelling, On-Stage Comedy, and the Heavy-Light Balance22:46 The "What's Next" Mindset & Reimagining the Kaura Live Sessions23:32 Singing for Her Pets: The Eager Listeners and Longest Companions24:52 Allowing Your Audience to Live in the Moment26:51 Conclusions and Shout Outs

In this special bonus episode of the Film Photography Podcast, co-host Owen McCafferty sits down with Film Photography Project founder Michael Raso to discuss an entirely new creative journey — music composition and electronic sound design. Michael shares the story behind his debut album Synth Waves From Space, a nostalgic synth-pop and retro-electronic project inspired by the eerie atmosphere and imaginative science fiction worlds of Nigel Kneale's classic Quatermass films and television serials. The conversation explores how decades of filmmaking, podcasting, analog media preservation, and vintage electronics ultimately led Michael toward creating his first full-length music project. Blending pulsing synthesizers, vintage-inspired melodies, and cosmic mood pieces, Synth Waves From Space channels the spirit of 1950s sci-fi cinema through a modern DIY electronic music lens. Owen and Michael also discuss creativity when taking on a new art form, the crossover between film culture and music production, and why it's never too late to begin creating in an entirely new medium.

When kids can't afford an instrument Music Matters Ohio helps.

Hello, music lovers!  Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.  I'm your host, musician and music journalist Jeff Miers. Recording today's episode was a real treat for me. Having Alex Khoury, Cody Tarbox, Seth Bykowski and Colin Gray - who are known collectively as Witty Tarbox - in the studio with me, with instruments in hand and plenty of stories to tell, felt like one of those cool spontaneous backyard hangs around the fire-pit. A moment you didn't see coming, but that arrived with an air of familiarity. Like, we've all been here before, even though we just met.  As you'll hear, these four musicians are a band of brothers, a group of guys who found their musical tribe when they met each other, and allowed a unique, rootsy, rustic, and rockin' sound to develop organically. They come from different backgrounds, and possess widely varied skill sets, but when they lock in together, something magical that is well beyond the sum of its parts emerges.  The band recently travelled to the fabled Dreamland Recording Studios, just outside Woodstock, NY, to track what became their new album, Midnight Sun. We talked about that experience, and the guys performed some of the material that emerged from those sessions live here at 678 Main Studios. What emerged is one of my favorite episodes of the podcast to date.  So make yourself comfortable, pour yourself a cold one if you're so inclined, and come hang with us for a little while.  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Witty Tarbox…

By choosing a path of docility, prayer, and sacrifice, we allow the Paraclete to turn our individual urban lives into a symphony of divine music. A meditation by Father Philip Moss.

#DaveBaker #PunknHeads #TopShelfProductions #GraphicNovel #IndieComics #ComicsPodcast #NicoleGoux #PunkRockStories #HorrorPunk #BandDrama #ComingOfAge #QueerStories #ComicCreators #BookTalk #Storycomic   Dave Baker is back on the show with a new graphic novel from Top Shelf: Punk'n Heads, co-created with Nicole Goux. It lands April 7, 2026, and it's a raucous, heartfelt story about making art, making mistakes, and trying to figure yourself out while the volume is turned way up. The book follows Hannah Lipsky, an art-school dropout reeling from a breakup who finds herself living in a flophouse and getting pulled into singing for a campy horror-punk band—costumes included. From there it's band dynamics, creative ambition, relationship mess, and that early-adulthood feeling of “I have no idea what I'm doing… but I'm doing it anyway.” We talk about building a full-length graphic novel (216 pages), how Dave and Nicole shaped the tone, what punk lets you say that other genres don't, and what Dave hopes readers walk away with when the last chord hits.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

For nearly 40 years, Ziggy Marley has built a legendary career across music, writing and philanthropy. Now, the eldest son of reggae icon Bob Marley returns with Brightside, his ninth studio album, which was produced entirely by him and his brother Stephen. He chats with Q's Tom Power about what happens when he records with instruments tuned to a lower frequency, the spiritual place he seeks out when he makes music, and the first song he ever dedicated to his late father.

What happens when a musical pioneer finds himself and his artistic voice after a period of disillutionment? In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with musician, composer, and producer Karsh Kale to discuss his latest album, DUST, and the 'silent war' of staying creative in a world driven by algorithms. Karsh opens up about feeling lost after the pandemic and shares what he had to 'unlearn' to find his way back to music—not through a studio, but through a canvas and a paintbrushWe dive deep into:  • The Creative Reset: Why Karsh started painting for "no one" to rediscover his childish curiosity.  • The 10-Year-Old Rule: How he stopped chasing trends and decided to make a record specifically for his younger self.  • Lessons from a Legend: What he learned about "permission" and identity while performing alongside Zakir Hussain.  • The Anatomy of Dust: The symbolism of the end of an era and the rebirth that follows.  Whether you're an artist feeling the weight of the "dopamine cycle" or just someone looking to find more joy in your work, Karsh's journey back to his "honest truth" is a blueprint for us all.  If you enjoyed this deep dive, please subscribe and share it with someone who may need  a creative spark.--------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction 03:16 The Evolution of Artistic Expression05:55 Finding Personal Meaning in Music08:37 The Symbolism of 'Dust' and Rebirth11:19 Creating a Mirror for Listeners14:13 Letting Go 15:46 Sponsor Break: Travelopod17:28 The Importance of Authenticity in Art20:21 The Lost Art of the Full Album Experience24:23 Translating Moods into Live Performances27:20 Optimism in the Independent Music Industry29:49 Sponsor Break: Timberdog Ruffrest30:59 The Role of Mentorship and Legacy35:34 Knowing When a Song is Finished36:59 The Intersection of Art and Music38:14 Music as an Escape and a Place to Be FoundLearn more about Karsh Kale:https://www.instagram.com/karshkale/Big shout outs to Yashraj Akashi for connecting and building trust through Tedx and EDGE, and to 7-year-old Ishank Singh for becoming the youngest and fastest to ever swim the Palk straight between Sri Lanka and India.

To better prepare her for increased exposure because of her music, Minister Diane was compelled to study and ask, What does the Bible say about Music?

Five weeks before her wedding, Danni Hoshino was lying in bed next to her fiancée when something shifted. She asked herself a question she had never quite let herself ask — and then she knew.In this episode of Coming Out and Beyond, host Anne-Marie Zanzal sits down with Danni, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who creates music under the name Light Bird. Her debut album, See Her, is a ten-song collection that moves through the uncertainty before transition, the fallout of coming out, and the unexpected beauty of finally living as yourself. They talk about what it felt like to come out fast — unapologetically, and all at once — and why Danni had no other way to do it. They talk about grief, about the relationships and houses and nine-to-five lives we leave behind, and about how sometimes an ending is also the only door forward.They also talk about music. How Danni set aside her artistic life for the security of a corporate career, and how coming out gave her back not just herself — but her voice. Her perspective. Her reason to create.The album's second single, Alright, releases on March 31st, 2026, in honor of Trans Day of Visibility. It's a bittersweet folk-country duet about the love that brought Danni to the moment she needed — and the grace it took to let it go.This one is for anyone who has ever asked a question they weren't sure they were allowed to ask, and found the answer change everything.Listen to Light Bird's single Alright, out today in honor of Trans Day of Visibility, on all major streaming platforms.

Send us Fan MailMike and Doug sit down with the legendary Brady and Meg Parks from The National Parks to talk about writing and recording a new album on their own—late nights in a backyard studio, kids asleep inside, and songs coming together in a chaotic mess until something clicks. They get into co-writing as a couple, dropping ego, and letting the music be less polished and more real—crickets, mistakes, and all.The conversation also moves through faith transitions, band changes, and the feeling of everything you thought was set in stone starting to erode. From the dark night of the soul to becoming goo before transforming into something new, this one is about creating through hard times and remembering that even when everything changes, "still the river flows." About The National Parks:The National Parks is an American indie folk-pop band based in Provo, Utah, formed in 2013, known for their nature-inspired "adventure pop" sound. Founded by Brady Parks, the group often features themes of the outdoors, love, and growth in their five albums, including Young and Wild Spirit.Their next album releases on August 28, 2025!Want more?

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflifeBelieve us, there is a big difference between doing music and making music. We are still refining this fresh hot take, but it applies to anyone who has dabbled in the impossible way of life. One thing we know for sure...it's all about balance. 

Send Steve a Text MessageFeeling stuck even with endless lessons, tabs, and shiny gear at your fingertips? We dig into the surprising reason progress stalls for so many players: overload. From preset chasing to YouTube grazing, we unpack six traps that quietly drain your focus and lay out a practical framework to turn short, daily sessions into real, measurable growth.We start by calling out the biggest culprits—gear distraction and information bloat—and share simple ways to reduce friction: limit tone-tweaking to a scheduled window, cap your lesson sources, and keep a living “Now, Next, Later” list so today's work is obvious. Then we build a clear practice structure that fits real life: technique for clean mechanics, fretboard fluency to connect shapes and keys, and repertoire that serves your goals instead of just your playlist. You'll hear how to choose songs that strengthen the exact skills you're training, and how just a few constraints can elevate phrasing, dynamics, and time feel.We also talk about protecting depth by shutting down device distractions and using focused, intentional minutes. The “new thing trap” gets a spotlight too—why that fresh lick feels amazing at first and how to balance it with review so older gains do not fade. By the end, you'll have three anchors to guide every session: clarity about what you want, structure that turns goals into drills, and consistency that compounds, even when you only have 15 minutes.If you're ready to trade scattered effort for steady progress, hit play, build your plan, and start seeing movement in your hands and ears.

In Episode 359 of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei sits down in Shibuya, Tokyo with Eric from Blackcat Whitecat Music, a music agency working across advertising, film, TV series, games, and publishing. The conversation offers a rare inside look at how brands and agencies actually choose music, and what producers need to understand if they want to land real commercial placements.Eric breaks down how music is sourced for advertising in Japan, including how creative decisions are made, why relationships matter more than cold pitches, and how Japanese and Western expectations around sync, licensing, and royalties can differ. He explains the concept of “tie-ups,” upfront fees, and why some advertising music deals function very differently than traditional backend royalty models.They also get into practical pitching advice for producers and composers, including what makes an outreach email worth opening, why personalization matters, and how professionalism, reliability, and communication often outweigh raw talent. Eric shares his strong stance on not delivering full stems at the final stage, explaining how protecting the approved mix helps preserve the original creative intent.The episode explores cross-cultural communication, Japanese business etiquette, and the role of trust when working with clients. They also discuss AI in advertising music, where automation may increase, and why taste, branding, human judgment, and imperfection still hold real value.This episode is a must-listen for producers, composers, and engineers interested in sync, advertising, international music work, and building sustainable creative careers through relationships rather than hype. The episode closes with a recap on outreach, research, and telling a clear story when you pitch, along with a direct contact point for producers who want to reach out: info@bwcatmusic.comSUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.
