Making a Scene Presents an Interview with a ProMick Kolassa - Endless Blues Records Endless Blues Records is a different kind a record company. We started as a “personal” label for Mick Kolassa and have expanded to work with other artists. Our goal is to help independent artists get their music recorded in a quality way and made available broadly. We work with artists in several different ways from simply providing logistic help and advice to help with get the recording released and promoted to fully financing the production of an album.We’re a small firm with limited resources so we’re going to be selective in the folks we can help and do more with it. We are not seeking new artists at this time but are actively evaluating potential future partners.In a age where the bottom is falling out of the market for "recorded music" starting an indie label can be an expensive decision. Mick Kolassa has taken on the task and we talk to him about his decision to open his indie label and his plans on how he expects to make it successful. If you want to learn the music business from the ground up, this is a great interview to begin with.

Midsouth musician Tullie Brae spent an evening in the Booze & Blues studio with her brand new album Revelation. She made this disc with some help from another Radio Memphis friend, Mick Kolassa. While she was on the air, she tells the story about how the record was made with stories from the studio. Also, she talks a bit about her songwriting process. By the way, this preacher's daughter knows her way around a keyboard as you will hear in this episode. She gave a heartfelt performance on the air and you will hear it all in this Radio Memphis On Demand exclusive.

"Free Range Blues" is a term you will hear about in this episode as Mick and the band demonstrate that very notion. You've heard Mick before, now hear the band. These guys are a lot of fun and you'll probably learn a few things along the way. Also in this episode, Ric discovered what one local radio station decided to do on Halloween. It involves the despicable act of celebrating one day in December at the end of October. A little rant is in this episode. NEXT WEEK: Andrea Staten

ANTHONY GERACI – COUCH KID NEW MUSIC Anthony’s new album, Why Did You Have To Go, just dropped on September 21st, and it is already sitting at #5 on The Roots Music Report Blues Album Chart. Meanwhile, Anthony’s summer has been a whirlwind of festivals from coast-to-coast both as himself and also backing others.  We’ll talk to Anthony about all that is happening while we listen to the tuneage.   MICK KOLASSA TAYLOR MADE BLUES BAND – COUCH KID NEW MUSIC The newest Mick Kolassa project is The Taylor Made Blues Band, and the first album under this name is 149 Delta. Mick has written 9 new songs and uncovered three others.  He has a new team around him and we’ll talk about the album, the songs and what is next.   WHITNEY SHAY We’ve been waiting to speak with Whitney, whose album, A Woman Rules The World was released in August and is currently sitting at #47 on the RMR Blues Album Chart. We’ll find out more about this powerful vocalist from San Diego, while checking out the songs.   REGINA BONELLI – COUCH KID NEW MUSIC Regina released the single Put Your Hands On Me/A Little Rain Must Fall and both songs have received airplay including on Rack Of Blues.  She comes by to talk about those songs…and IF WE ARE LUCKY…she will have sent us a few others which we can World Premier for y’all…fingers crossed!

An old friend of Radio Memphis, Mr. Mick Kolassa steps into the studio this time around with a brand new CD. You'll hear a couple of songs from it and learn how you can add it to your library, which is highly recommended. Also in this episode, Ric takes a shot at all of the so-called "experts" plying their trades on Facebook. He has made an interesting comparison between what happens away from the social media to what is happening on social media.  NEXT WEEK: Ms. Zeno

For the final Preview Show, we begin with a conversation with Joe Whitmer.  Joe is COO of The Blues Foundation and he is THE MAN when it comes to making sure the entire IBC Experience is the best it can be.  Joe will give you the MUSTS and the MUST-NOTS which will make your week in Memphis stellar. Then we bring four long-time IBC Judges together for a Roundtable discussion.  You will have three judges rating your perfomance at each step of the Challenge.  Do each of these folks have the same feelings about the different genres of the Blues? Probably not.  Do all three hear the music you will make the same? Probably not. Do all three want the best acts to move on at each step? ABSOLUTELY.  This will be an interesting discussion with KBA Recipient, Suzanne Swanson, Mick Kolassa, Julia Magness & Ricky Stevens.  Our final guests for the Preview Shows is the band The Delgado Brothers.  These guys won the Band Challenge last year and have been having a year like they have never had before.  They'll talk about their entire IBC Experience.  

Mick Kolassa and Eric Hughes stop in to for COUCH KID NEWS to chat about the new acoustic album of Beatles tunes they are working on.  And Eric will also talk about his Go Fund Me Campaign for the next Eric Hughes Band Album.   Jeremiah Johnson takes his seat on The Couch to talk about his thrilling journey.  From St. Louis to Houston to St. Louis, over the last 17 years, Jeremiah has built his sound and it is displayed in full on Heart Attack. I’ll chat with Jeremiah about his time in Houston, coming to Memphis for the IBC, his documentary Ride The Blues and much more. Dylan Wicken and his band The Grand Nationals come at The Blues full force as any power trio would. The band has just released it’s sophomore effort, Hi Lo-Fi, and it is a long time coming for their many fans.  I’ll talk with Dylan about his path and the efforts behind the new album, released 6 years after his debut. Matthew Skoller has just released Blues Immigrant, and I will have a chance to learn about this talented musician. We’ll dig into his travels from NY to Chicago and getting to perform with legends such as Jimmy Rogers and Deitra Farr to name two. The new album is deeply entrenched in the notion of cultural appropriation and we’ll discuss that with Matthew.

SHOW #329 Honored to be able to WORLD PREMIER the brand new Mick Kolassa album, Taylor Made.  This is another collection of original songs mixed with some tasty uncovers.  Mick and I will discuss the album, and the recording sessions filled with friends, but missing one. Dave Allen and “Little Laura” Lamun each took different journeys until they met in 2007 and formed a musical and life bond. Maybe It’s A Good Thing, their third release, is a collection of 12 originals, showcasing their duet vocal sound. We’ll talk about their careers and how they came together and where they are heading. Katy Guillen & The Girls (Claire Adams and Stephanie Williams) woke up the Blues world with their 2014 performances at the International Blues Challenge.  Since then, they have toured and won fans wherever they performed.  The new album is Heavy Days and I will chat with Katy about the road she has taken to get where she is today. Alexis P Suter returns to The Couch with her new album, All For Loving You.  We’ll talk about the album, her BMA Nomination in 2015, and what she has been doing since she appeared back in August of 2014.
