Podcasts about michigan music

I'm psyched to have @michiganrattlers on the show this week!! Friends from childhood, Graham Young, Adam Reed, Christian Wilder and Tony Audia all grew up together in Petosky, Michigan playing music, and dreaming of taking it out on the road. Now over a decade of touring later, they're on their third studio album, Waving From A Sea, and are known for deep lyricism, a rich sonic quality, and a killer live show. This latest effort is produced by @dominicjohndavis (Jack White, Greensky Bluegrass, Willie Nelson) and represents a turning point in Michigan Rattlers young career.I was happy to have the entire band on the show and we talk about their early development and long days spent on the road. We also discuss what it means to be “of a place and time” and still be together doing what they love. We have a great time chatting — these guys know how to bring the high energy both on and off stage — and I'm super excited to share this action-packed interview!!   For information on Michigan Rattlers, head to their website here. For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In this episode, WYCE Station manager, Phil Tower speaks with Nik Thomasma, the Executive Director of The Michigan Music Alliance.The Michigan Music Alliance is presenting the Music Econ Summit at the Grand Rapids Center for Community Transformation in partnership with Monk Recordings LLC., Push the City Cipher and Triumph Music Academy.The Music Econ Summit was founded in 2024 by Monk Mattheus, founder of Monk Recordings LLC.,  and is happening again this year, April 11-13 at The Grand Rapids Center for Community Transformation.The Music Econ Summit brings together music industry experts and professionals for 3 days of educational workshops, panel discussions, networking and showcase opportunities all focused on sustainable income strategies and upward economic mobility for the Michigan music community. Scholarships are available.Registration and details are at The Michigan Music Alliance.

Michiganders Keith Hlavacs and Marlin Wilson belong in their own music collection time zone. Hlavacs not only collects artifacts of early music from 78s/cylinders/diamond discs and phonographs, but he touches upon some of the most sought after music from the earliest days of recordings--with some rare Michigan Music thrown in for good measure. Wilson was the first-call for Dr. J to help assemble some pieces in the Michigan Rock Legends Hall Of Fame and has one of the most extensive deep collections of Michigan Rock, primarily from the earliest heyday of Mid-Michigan.    One of the biggest feedback joys we get is the depth of our podcasts, the spoken word documentation. We decided to wrap Season 4 with a round table on ultimate music collecting, with a focus on Michigan pieces. Yet there is SO much more than Michigan in this episode. Sir Fred tosses in the dirty earliest printed music, Mr. Mike talks of his massive archives, and Dr. J waxes ecstatic on his collection and why he is into specifics. All of the collectors share the love of music and the desire to find the next rare, cool, unknown thing. It's not just a Michigan thing, but our state has a slew of collectibles as we will find out along the way.    Thank you for listening to Season 4--Season 5 is two weeks out and this episode is a tribute to you music lovers. Dig in!

Music festivals - highlighting multiple artists at a single event - are all the rage. Lansing's college radio station Impact 89FM referred to the last installment of the show we're about to discuss as “A collection of talent sought to destroy the boundaries of genre, to make a new statement on the beauty of local music, and to testify to the joy and benefits of artistic collaboration.” That intrigued Crhis enough to discuss the upcoming Amalgamation Project II with drummer and show promoter, Bryan Knickerbocker! 

In this episode, Chuck is on vacation but has left a couple of album reviews featuring the new record by Room 101 called Apostasy and the new Carbon Decoy called Superstition Plagues the Purity of All. Each of these are incredible albums that you'll want in your collection. Chuck also chats about a monster three day event called GIG - The Art of Michigan Music which is coming up on November 8, 9, and 10th at ART 634 in Jackson, Michigan. GIG - The Art of Michigan music shines a bright spotlight on the artists who bring you the concert photography, gig posters, album artwork, and t-shirt art. Over the three days there will be food, beverages, and a lot of great Michigan Music in addition to the art exhibit.

We were blessed to finally land one of the greatest DJ/Michigan Music History LEGENDS to our show. After two attempts, Ric made a visit to our new MMHP digs at the Michigan Rock Legends Hall of Fame in Bay City, this past July 3, 2023. Sadly, we lost Ric to a stroke on Sept. 5, 2023. Ric shared his music passion with us, as he did many others via being a go-to DJ in the state of Michigan, as well as in Canada.  WSAM, CKLW, WKNX, and so many more had the golden microphone, as Ric was involved with radio from a passionate prospective, breaking some 30-plus hit singles over the years. Ric took to Facebook with a partner to form the Michigan Music History page on Aug. 4, 2011, which continues to some 16.9 thousand subscribers. Self-described as a 'face for radio' Ric hung with the hit-makers, broadcast with the best of the best, and over the past few years, deeply enjoyed his family and friends.    Our deepest condolences to Ric's Family. This is for Ric, you and all the listeners. Thank you for stories and wisdom, Ric. We will miss you, Friend.

Back when the LEGENDS of Michigan Music were brand new, before all the concert venues, they would play dances, clubs, schools and the popular Bay City Roll-Air Rink. Then the Battle of the Bands began. Names like Bob Seger, MC5, Amboy Dukes, The Bossmen, SRC, ? & The Mysterians, Alice Cooper and The Rationals were top tier regional acts. One half of the team creating this Mid-Michigan destination was Bob Darbee, who visited us from Florida last Fall. You know it was good when you can hear the music from the midst of State Park in Bay City, all the way across the Bay to Oscoda and even Port Austin where the noise complaints hailed from! Here is his story...

Rich & Johnny return in 2021 with a lengthy chat with Michigan poster/flyer historian legend Jack Bodnar. Intense insight to a heavy scene! Here are some post scripts from the talk via Jack himself: Jack Bodnar talks more about The Brewery days in LansingBy Jack Bodnar, January 18, 2021   I don’t know about you but when talking about the past, especially personal events that happened nearly 50  years ago, I often walk away wishing I had said this or that instead, and that I had been clearer. In my conversation with Rich and Johnny, I think I got most of it right but what follows are additional insights that  might clarify a few things.   Terry O’Connor was the (brilliant and whimsical) Brewery graphic artist…he died of cancer in the Florida Keys a few years back. Even though he spent his career as a graphics artist, mostly for Michigan State University, his three-year Brewery and Brewery-related output (1972-1975), which came at the end of the Classic Rock Art era (1965-1976), easily puts him in the Top Four pantheon of Michigan superstar rock artists, joining Gary Grimshaw, Carl Lundgren, and Ozone (Chris Frayne, Commander Cody’s brother).    O’Connor created 30-35 Brewery concert posters. No one knows for sure how many, not even Terry when he was still alive. Many of the posters were printed in ridiculously small print runs of 50-100, which is why most people at the time and post-1975 have never seen them. This was compounded by the fact that shortly after The Brewery changed concepts to the Silver Dollar bar in April 1975, Terry’s basement, where he stored his Brewery original art and “reference” posters, was flooded and all was lost. A true tragedy.     Terry never realized how great his Brewery art was. It was just a blip on his radar, something he did for a short time in his youth. Even though his output was low compared to the likes of Grimshaw and Lundgren, Terry’s consistent, eye-popping creativity and use of vibrant color would rank him high on the national rock art scene if people could see his work. Hopefully, this will happen eventually, thanks to the twenty-some-odd O’Connor posters that are part of my collection at Michigan State University.   I referred to Sloe Gin and Blue Motorcycle (the latter sometimes called Blue Hawaiian) drinks at The Brewery. The latter was basically a blue Long Island Iced Tea…blue curacao, gin, vodka, and rum. Many of the female patrons ordered them and they were deadly. On Tequila Nights, The Brewery sold a lot of Tequila Sunrises, yet another powerful drink that was ordered predominantly by the ladies. The guys tended to order straight tequila shots, as well as Tequila Sunrises on Tequila Nights.   In our conversation, we kept referring to “Goose Lake.” Hopefully, most people know we were referring to the 1970 Goose Lake International Music Festival (7-9 August) in Grass Lake, MI, which attracted more than 200,000 mostly-stoned fans. It is recognized as the last great rock music festival of the Sixties Rock era.    During our conversation, I offered a couple of unfortunate exaggerations when referring to multiple items in my collection. For the sake of hyperbole, I said I might have 5,000 Goose Lake Festival poker chips, which were the festival entry tickets. This is not true, though my collection does have close to a thousand of them, which is still a lot given they don’t turn up very often.    Also, when referring to multiples, I said I had 30-40 copies of some underground newspapers (like the seminal and tough-to-find Warren-Forest Suns), which is true, but many of my underground issues number only in single digits. For instance, my collection has only one of Creem #5 (only a handful exist for some reason), plus the original cover art by Detroit artist Matthew (Matthew Radofsky).   Rich referred to a Brewery Seger poster at East Lansing’s The Curious Bookshop, something he had mentioned to me when he interviewed me for a Lansing City Pulse article on the Brewery a few years back. However, I think at the time Rich said it was a Brewery Iggy/Stooges poster. I assumed Rich were homing in on it, so I butted out, which is what I normally do/did when somebody mentions something to me and they are still “working on it.” I wonder what became of that poster, Rich?    Rich also told me about some other Brewery posters that were on display for a short while at East Lansing’s Flat, Black & Circular record store. Because Rich said he was not in pursuit of these posters, I was able to acquire seven Brewery posters, six of them I did not have. Two of the posters were badly wrinkled from a poor mounting job, so I sent them to a reputable poster restoration house in Brooklyn, NY. Of course, shortly after receiving them, the restorer went belly-up and it took me a year of pleading to get them back. The posters were indeed restored (nicely) when returned, thankfully.    And yes, in hindsight, The Brewery did do a lot of very effective print advertising, especially in The State News, Michigan State University’s campus newspaper. Among other ad placements, Brewery co-owner Paul Kacer and Terry O’Connor somehow came up with the brainy idea of running vertical 2”-wide one column ads (white Brewery-logo typeface on distinctive black background) that ran the entire margin of a page. These ads absolutely popped off the newsprint.    Also, in our conversation, I said that word-of-mouth was the most effective form of advertising for the Brewery once it hit full steam but Kacer never relented on covering all his bases through print and radio. I just wish he had let O’Connor create more posters with bigger press runs. Paul didn’t realize how significant these posters were and that it would have cost only a fraction more to print 200-500 posters instead of a paltry 50-100. No one is brilliant across-the-board.   After their three-year Brewery stint, two of the three Brewery owners, Paul Kacer and Bruce Wahlin returned to their “straight” restaurant business roots for the rest of their careers, where they were quite successful (again). Pre-Brewery, they had been partners in the very profitable Grand River IHOP and not-so-profitable Stables bar/restaurant operations across the street. Then post-Brewery, they created the Pantree breakfast-centric restaurant in the old East Lansing post office building on Abbot (now Dublin Square Irish Pub) and at a second location in Ann Arbor on Liberty Street, before finally going their separate ways out-of-state.    The third Brewery partner was Rick Becker, who bought out Kacer and Wahlin in April 1975 and repurposed The Brewery as the Silver Dollar bar, which ran for 20 years. The building was demolished by 2000, replaced by a bagel store.   Dave DiMartino and I split The State News concert review scene in 1973-74. Dave would go on to be editor of CREEM magazine and has been a legendary music writer for decades. I also made writing my career after I left East Lansing but not in the entertainment field. I gravitated to public relations, advertising, and training instead.   It was daunting to cover all the great acts that came through East Lansing on a weekly basis while I was at MSU. DiMartino covered most of the big venue rock gigs and did the record reviews, while I covered most of the blues, jazz, and folk acts, as well as the exploding bar scene. The Brewery alone usually brought in one to two name bands a week. I wound up having an “On Tap” column at The State News and moonlighted at the Lansing State Journal, supplying local entertainment coverage.   Sonny Terry (harp) & Brownie McGhee were the two bluesmen I couldn’t remember when talking about East Lansing’s Alley Eye bar.

If you were to jump in the time machine with Uncle Dave and travel back to episode 25, You'd hear us lay out plans for what we're calling "Ingredient Songs", which means we pulled a bunch of song element options from a hat (e.g. theme, tempo, mood, instrumentation) and had to use them to create a new song. This is the second installment from the results of that idea. Recipe: I've Got Great Love For YouMake sure you're a little angry before attempting this recipe, but also make sure you are prepared to end up sweet. Pound out some pre-prepared dough to a tempo of 135, then spread thin onto a baking sheet. Spoon in a generous amount of nostalgia laden fuzzed guitar and coat the entire doughy area. Take two fists full of straight up high school bullying, and then sprinkle with hindsight and growth. Bake at 375 for about 20 years, and let cool in the bathtub for 20 minutes.

Welcome back BSrs, and hello to anyone new! This week we listen to a new track by our very own Bradley J, and this one is an excellent example of why we started this project, and what we intended for it to do. Why? Because this song greatly benefits from critical feedback and the collaborative process. This one goes from day to night, errr, night to day....not really sure how that works, guess it depends if you're a morning person or a night owl, but either way, this song changed for the better!Send us a message! bs@belongingsongs.comVisit our website! www.belongingsongs.comThere you can listen to the before and after versions of all our songs.Check out our Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/belongingsongs/Follow us throughout the week for your latest BS news.

Welcome back BSrs! This week we listen to and talk about 5 tracks off of Wade's first solo album "Better This Way". These "look back" episodes are a fun way for us to revisit some of our past work and to examine how we've evolved as artists over the years. This era of songwriting was also when we were actively playing our music out live, and listening to these songs now brings some of those memories out for us to share with you.

Welcome back BSrs! This week we visit another of Brad's songs that was recorded as part of a group a few years back. It's looking very much like these songs will end up together in the form of an EP, and it's becoming evident that the revision process for all these songs are developing a pattern: heavy edits to the arrangement to condense the song into a more compact and listenable product. Tune in to hear this song go under the knife and to hear the results of us cutting the fat from this recording.

On this episode, Amy Sherman chats with Elle Lively the executive director of Michigan Music Alliance about what her amazing organization does for musicians - especially right now.

This weeks song was born of quarantine. The arc of this episode takes us from when the song was written during the first days of pandemic lockdown, through to it's revision process just days after the Murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police. The world is a fucking mess, and this song reflects some of that.

We're traveling way back in time with this one, nearly twenty years, to when Brad originally recorded this week's song. We're going to sneak into his house, steal the cassette tape out of his 4-track recorder, then blast back here to the present so he can do a total re-record. The results are quite drastic, and the theme of the song lends an interesting view of the shift in perspective the author undergoes between the two snapshots in time.

Buckle up BS'rs, we're heading to court. Yep, we're jumping in the ol' time machine again and visiting the year 1985 to sit in on the Senate hearing instigated by The Parents Music Resource Center that culminated in letting every kid know exactly which album they wanted to buy because of the resultant "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" rating system. The theme of this week's song relies heavily on the idea that some people just think they know better than everyone else what is good for not only themselves, but the rest of us too.

This week, an older song by Brad gets wrestled with. The recording is simple, and raw, and the boys learn that it can sometimes be rather difficult to deal with a stripped down song. When should you try to improve things, and when should they be left alone? We ask these questions, and more, as we attempt to maintain the captured vibe of this track, while at the same time improving on the overall quality of the recording.

Get ready BSrs, because today our host Patrick brings his first song to the podcast!

Today we have a short special episode to help bring awareness to a bunch of awesome fundraisers going on in Michigan in an effort to support the Michigan music scene! Please listen and stay healthy.

This week's episode features a song by our host Wade, and is all about having to do things most people love, but he doesn't. We also visit a revamped bonus song called Job Brigade, which reminds us that "life is hard when you don't make the money".

Welcome back BS'rs! This week Brad brings us a demo, but there's a catch; the original files have been lost to time, so he has to completely re-record the song from scratch, which makes for a super fun demo-to-done comparison. Please join us as he takes us through the process of trying to recapture the vibe of the original, while, at the same time, improving on the overall quality of the recording.

This week features a real pick-me-up of a song by Harnol Slin (Wade Dana) about depression, and feeling worthless. It'll be a gas! Plus, a bonus song to lighten things up, and an example of 3 grown men (sort of) not being able to pull it together after a record scratch moment.
