Cassandra Lewis: The Radicalization of Vulnerability

Tales from the Green Room

What happens when an artist stops trying to be perfect and starts trusting exactly who she is?Cassandra Lewis joins Only in the Green Room for an unfiltered conversation about cosmic Americana, heartbreak, psychedelics, creativity, and learning to trust her own voice.She takes us through the wonderfully strange mix of influences that shaped her music, the relationship that inspired Lost in a Dream, and what it means to take the driver's seat by producing her own record at Nashville's RCA Studio A.But this conversation ultimately becomes about something bigger: vulnerability.Cassandra talks candidly about letting go of perfectionism, giving everything she has onstage, and accepting the mistakes and imperfections that make live music—and all of us—human.In her words, vulnerability can be a “radical act.” And in a world increasingly shaped by AI and technology, maybe being imperfectly human matters more than ever.Only in the Green Room — Where Artists Remain Human. #CassandraLewis #OnlyInTheGreenRoom #CosmicAmericana #AmericanaMusic #HighSierra #SingerSongwriter #LiveMusic #WomenInMusic

I loved this conversation.Nancy Shear is one of those people you meet and immediately want to know more about. She is smart, funny, curious, completely engaging, and she has lived an extraordinary life surrounded by some of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.Her story began when she was just fifteen years old when curiosity led her through a stage door and into the world of classical music. What happened after that is an incredible journey.Nancy spent decades behind the scenes, getting to know the people behind the music, their personalities, their passions, their struggles, their brilliance, and their very human sides. She worked with legendary figures, including Leopold Stokowski, and experienced a world that most of us have only seen from the audience.Her memoir, I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms, brings those stories to life, but our conversation went far beyond music. We talked about following your instincts, finding your place in a world that wasn't always ready for you, the unexpected turns a life can take, and what we learn when we have the privilege of looking back.Nancy has so much to share and I came away from our conversation inspired by her curiosity and her spirit. And especially the beautiful way she has continued to embrace life.I think you'll understand exactly why I loved talking with her.Tune in!

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles welcomes Jennifer Edwards, the creator and host of the YouTube channel Jen's Addiction, where she shares her passions for music, vinyl collecting, comic books, art, and classic horror. A self-described nostalgic with a deep emotional connection to vinyl, Jennifer explains why records are more than just a listening format — they're art you can hold, display, and collect. She and Charles dive into the perennial debate of vinyl versus CDs versus streaming, with Jennifer making the case that the warmth and nuance of a record — the fingers on the strings, the imperfections, the artwork — create an experience that digital formats simply can't replicate. She also shares her adventures in bulk collecting, including purchasing a collection of 3,000 CDs, and offers practical advice for collectors navigating Discogs, first pressings, and the sometimes-murky world of limited-edition numbering.The conversation then turns to Jennifer's lifelong concert-going journey, starting with her very first show — The Romantics at the Long Center in Lafayette, Indiana, when she was around 14 years old. That experience was transformative, igniting a passion not just for live music but for playing it, leading her to pick up the bass guitar at 16 and briefly front a band called The Llamas. Jennifer recounts some of her best concert moments, including seeing The Damned from the front row at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, catching The Cure on the Disintegration Tour, and watching Neil Peart's drum solos with Rush. She also shares an unforgettable encounter with Ogre, the singer of Skinny Puppy, at a monster convention — a conversation that lasted over an hour and ranged from music to horses and left her feeling that meeting an idol later in life, when both people are in a better place, can be far more meaningful than a fleeting interaction in the chaos of youth.Jennifer opens up about her most disappointing concert experience — the Jane's Addiction reunion show in Indiana, which was canceled just a few shows before the end of the tour, leaving her heartbroken after looking forward to seeing both Jane's Addiction and Love and Rockets. She also describes her most surprising concert: the 1995 Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek, where the crowd turned unruly, fans broke through the back fence during "Desolation Row," and the band kept playing as the situation spiraled — an eerie precursor to the end of the Dead era. The episode wraps with Jennifer sharing cherished pieces of her concert ephemera, including a Power Station T-shirt from a legendary teenage adventure in Cincinnati (where a photo lab worker handed her extra prints from John Taylor's personal camera) and a pair of drumsticks caught from Jesus and Mary Chain drummer Zach Alford. She also discusses her approach to album reviews on her channel — favoring enthusiasm over critical jargon — and encourages listeners to find their passion, engage with creators, and be part of the conversation.

Chuck Klosterman joins Booked On Rock to explore a fascinating question: What if rock history happened differently? In his new book, Rock: A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music, Klosterman imagines an alternate musical universe where the Velvet Underground become one of the biggest bands in the world, the Beatles fade from prominence, Led Zeppelin become critical favorites instead of arena superstars, and the familiar story of rock and roll is completely rewritten.We talk about how timing, critics, commercial success, failure, and cultural consensus shape the way we remember music. Chuck explains why KISS is his favorite band to think about, why Led Zeppelin and T. Rex make such an interesting reversal, how MTV changed our relationship with rock stars, why Lenny Kravitz becomes the ultimate rock icon in his alternate universe, and whether albums by artists like Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix possess an inherent greatness—or whether history teaches us what is supposed to be great.It's a funny, thought-provoking conversation about rock history, classic rock, music criticism, fame, artistic legacy, and why certain bands become legendary while others disappear.Purchase a copy of Rock: A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music----------

UK-based producer and DJ Lloyd Barwood joins the Super Progressive podcast for an in-depth conversation about one of the most exciting rises in the progressive house scene right now. Fresh off landing the number one spot on Beatport with "Nothing Like It Was" [0:11], released on Sasha's Last Night on Earth label, Lloyd opens up about the journey behind the track, how it was written specifically for a set where he handed the decks over to Sasha [1:23], and how it ultimately became one of the most-played tracks in Sasha's sets over the past six months [2:12].Lloyd shares the inspiring reality that his number one hit was made in his spare bedroom [3:55]. He reflects on the surreal experience of going back to back with his all-time favorite DJ, Sasha, for the very first time [28:53], and describes the unforgettable moment at Balance Croatia 2026 when Hernan Cattaneo walked out of a meet and greet mid-set just to come say hello and raise his hand to the crowd [10:12].The conversation also dives into the creative advice Sasha gave Lloyd about locking into his signature sound [26:09], the pressures of balancing a full-time day job with a rapidly accelerating music career [14:45], and the tight-knit crew of friends and family who travel with him every step of the way [32:54].Videographer David Lovas also joins the episode to share behind-the-scenes stories about filming some of the most memorable clips of Lloyd's music being played by the world's top DJs, including a standout continuous clip of Anthony Pappa and Dave Seaman dropping the Lloyd and Medway collaboration at Balance [21:57].Looking ahead, Lloyd discusses his signing to the Analog agency, upcoming releases on Selador, and his ultimate goal of going full-time as an artist [37:42].

What if some of rock history's biggest personnel decisions had gone the other way? What if Eric Clapton had joined The Beatles, Slash had landed the gig with Poison, Richie Sambora became a member of KISS, or Sammy Hagar never joined Van Halen?Author Mike Garam joins Booked On Rock to discuss Near Miss: Alternate Histories of Rock's Greatest Personnel Decisions, a fascinating exploration of the auditions, offers, lineup changes, and near-misses that could have completely rewritten rock history.We explore alternate timelines involving The Beatles, Van Halen, Poison, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, and more. Could George Lynch have replaced Randy Rhoads in Ozzy's band? What if David Coverdale had joined Black Sabbath? Could Rory Gallagher have become a Rolling Stone? And what might have happened if John Bonham or Bon Scott had lived?Along the way, Mike examines more than who might have joined which band. We follow the ripple effects—the albums that might never have existed, the songs that could have sounded completely different, the careers that might have taken another path, and why musical chemistry and personality can matter just as much as talent.It's a trip through the crossroads of classic rock history where one decision could have changed everything.Purchase a copy of Near Miss: Alternate Histories Of Rock's Greatest Personnel DecisionsWatch/Subscribe Backstage Pass: All Excess channel on YouTube----------

How do we tell stories of past voices through a cello, the voice of its player? This lecture explores what it means to be separated from your voice, and to find it again.Dr Kate Kennedy traces a journey she took across Europe with her cello, to uncover the stories of instruments and their players. The result was a host of eccentric, sometimes tragic, always extraordinary accounts of silencing and survival, from the Auschwitz orchestra to a shipwreck, and even a cello full of bees.This lecture was recorded by Kate Kennedy on the 9th of September 2026Dr Kate Kennedy is a biographer, cellist, and broadcaster. She is one of the foremost critics of twentieth-century music, and lectures in Music and English at Oxford University, and is a regular presence on BBC Radio 3. Kate is the Director of the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing and a Supernumerary Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford, having previously held Research Fellowships in English and Music at the University of Cambridge. She is also Director of the Centre for the Study of Women Composers, Director of the Museum of Music History, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her most recent book Cello: A Journey Through Silence to Sound was published in August  2024 with Head of Zeus / Bloomsbury.

Lynyrd Skynyrd became one of the most influential and enduring bands in Southern rock, powered by the songwriting, vision, and uncompromising leadership of Ronnie Van Zant. In this episode of Booked On Rock, author Chris Salisbury joins me to explore the story behind Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic albums and songs, from their difficult early years in Jacksonville to the creation of “Free Bird,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Simple Man,” “Saturday Night Special,” and more.Chris shares fascinating stories about Ronnie Van Zant's leadership and songwriting, the development of Skynyrd's legendary three-guitar attack, Al Kooper's role in shaping the early records, Billy Powell's distinctive piano work, and the arrival of Steve Gaines. We also dig into the conflicting stories behind the famous ending of “Free Bird,” what “Sweet Home Alabama” was really saying, and how a band with relatively little formal musical training created arrangements of remarkable complexity.We also examine the tragedy surrounding 1977's Street Survivors, Ronnie's eerie predictions that he wouldn't live to see 30, and the question of what Lynyrd Skynyrd might have become had the plane crash never happened. Finally, Chris discusses the band's return with Johnny Van Zant, the music of the post-1987 era, and why defiance may be the single quality that best explains Lynyrd Skynyrd's lasting appeal.Chris Salisbury is the author of Lynyrd Skynyrd: Every Album, Every Song, part of Sonicbond's On Track series.Purchase a copy of Lynyrd Skynyrd: Every Album, Every SongVisit SonicBond's website for more books from the "On Track" series----------

Nashville-born singer-songwriter Maisie Owen joins Only in the Green Room at High Sierra for a conversation about finding her own voice, making music without hiding behind production, and the unexpected influences that shaped her sound.Growing up in a musical family, Maisie initially gravitated toward painting, writing, photography — and classical music. Years of playing viola ultimately shaped the way she approaches guitar and songwriting today, from unusual time signatures to melodies that follow instinct rather than rules.Maisie talks about discovering Nick Drake's Pink Moon, falling into the music of Bert Jansch and Mazzy Star, writing from dreams and journal entries, and why she wants her recordings to feel almost indistinguishable from hearing her perform live.We also get into her debut festival experience at High Sierra, growing up in Nashville without necessarily sounding “Nashville,” the unexpected ways listeners interpret her songs, her love of Gordon Lightfoot, and why she's perfectly happy making music alone.It's an intimate conversation with an emerging artist committed to keeping the imperfections, breaths and quiet moments intact.Where Artists Remain Human.Subscribe to Only in the Green Room for more backstage conversations with the artists, musicians and creative people keeping human connection at the center of music.#MaisieOwen #OnlyInTheGreenRoom #HighSierraMusicFestival #SingerSongwriter #Americana #IndieFolk #NickDrake #NewMusic #MusicPodcast #BehindTheMusic

“Fourteen years of conversations. The people who made my journey matter.” In this special 14-Year Celebration episode of Vigilantes Radio Live, Dini reconnects with longtime friend and Mississippi DJ veteran DJ 2TALL—“Da 6'8” Wonder”—for a conversation about music, longevity, friendship, Mississippi hip-hop history, and more than two decades of staying committed to the culture.Their connection goes back to 2005, when Dini was performing as Whodini Blak with the rap crew Cash on Demand alongside Young Mighty, Lil Chucky Da Cequel, Cristylez, and the late Maddog Blo' the Smoke. DJ 2TALL quickly became the crew's first “unofficial official DJ,” helping soundtrack an era filled with competitions, performances, travel, and the ambition of young artists trying to make their mark throughout central Mississippi.DJ 2TALL reflects on beginning his DJ journey at just 14 years old, building respected club and casino residencies, hosting independent mixtapes, working around major artists, touring as a DJ and road manager, and watching the role of the DJ evolve from the mixtape and club era into today's streaming and social-media landscape. The conversation also revisits the early Jackson music scene, the importance of DJs to independent artists, the connections and personalities that shaped their journey, and what it feels like to look back more than 20 years later at the people, places, and experiences that became part of their shared history. This episode is about more than spinning records. It is about staying relevant, reading people, taking the scenic route through the music business, and realizing that sometimes the people present during your beginning become part of your legacy long before you understand why.Connect with DJ 2TALL:Instagram: @68wonder_dj2tallX: @68WonderDJ2TallFacebook: DJ 2TALL / Dasixeight WonderWebsite: 68wonderdj2tall.comBooking: 68Wonder@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2026Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com
