Jamie James, guitarist, singer, and songwriter, joins Charles on Seeing Them Live to discuss his musical journey and new album Straight Up, released on Oglio Records.Jamie reflects on his early musical influences, growing up in Woodstock, Ontario, and his transition from aspiring hockey player to musician after a knee injury. He shares how he taught himself guitar on a damaged acoustic and recalls receiving his first real guitar as a Christmas gift in 1966. The conversation turns to Jamie's formative concert experiences, including seeing Tommy James and the Shondells, Deep Purple, Sly and the Family Stone, The Who, and an early performance by Queen in a small London club. Jamie describes how these shows influenced his approach to live performance. He recounts his time in the 1970s rock scene, playing with various bands before joining the New Steppenwolf in 1977. After leaving the New Steppenwolf, Jamie formed The Kingbees, an ‘80s rockabilly trio that gained a cult following.A favorable review in LA Weekly helped them gain popularity, attracting large crowds to their shows. He discusses their unique rockabilly-inspired style, which predated the Stray Cats and MTV, and his personal shift toward a Buddy Holly-influenced guitar approach. Jamie also shares anecdotes about the LA music scene, recalling interactions with The Blasters and Blackie Dammett, father of Anthony Kiedis, who became an informal emcee for The Kingbees. Additionally, he recounts signing with RSO Records in 1980, initially seeing little success until their song My Mistake gained radio traction in Detroit. This newfound exposure led to major performance opportunities, including a replacement slot at the Toledo Speedway Jam alongside ZZ Top, AC/DC, and Sammy Hagar; a wild gig that took an unexpected turn involving a whiskey bottle that injured an audience member.After the Kingbees disbanded in 1981, Jamie pursued a solo career, but his EP failed to resonate with him. A chance encounter with actor Harry Dean Stanton at a July 4th gathering led to a close friendship and musical collaboration that lasted for years. Jamie formed a band with Stanton, regularly performing at The Lighthouse and The Mint. Later, he connected with actor Dennis Quaid, leading to the formation of The Sharks, a band that endured for nearly 20 years.A severe health scare in 2020 prompted Jamie to recommit to songwriting, leading to the creation of new music during the Covid pandemic. Despite financial challenges, his bandmates were eventually drawn in by the strength of his songs, paving the way for his latest album, Ain't No Big Thing (https://oglio.com/).Jamie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and an enduring love for making music.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Melodies of Rebellion: The Musician who Chose the Streets Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/melodies-of-rebellion-the-musician-who-chose-the-streets Story Transcript:Sr: Калидриска киша, лептири у стомаку и жага у душиEn: Rain poured, butterflies fluttered in his stomach, and a longing burned in his soul.Sr: Марко Петровић је заставио свирање у сред Калемегданског парка.En: Marko Petrovic had brought his playing to a halt in the middle of Kalemegdan Park.Sr: Мелодија на његовом виолинчелу рађала се из дубине његовог срца, вибрирајући у драгоценом корену древног тополе.En: The melody on his cello was born from the depths of his heart, vibrating in the precious roots of an ancient poplar tree.Sr: Марко није био само један музичар, он је био дете Београда, створено из кабела и кобалта, храбро створено од воде и ветра са Белеј баре.En: Marko was not just a musician; he was a child of Belgrade, created from cables and cobalt, bravely formed from the water and wind of Lake Bela.Sr: Али, уместо да звижди у златним залама, он је изабрао улице, али и парк Калемегдан, да би поделио своје мељодије.En: But instead of whistling in golden halls, he chose the streets and Kalemegdan Park to share his melodies.Sr: Он је био жедан славе, али не и славе коју доводи похлепа. Он је желео да бар један људски живот учини мало светлијим помоћу своје музике.En: He thirsted for fame, but not the fame driven by greed. He wanted to make at least one person's life a little brighter through his music.Sr: Усред бетонске џунгле, његова музика била је тихи бунт.En: Amidst the concrete jungle, his music was a quiet rebellion.Sr: Маркови дани били су испуњени са пролазницима који су стајали и слушали. Већина је бацила коју пару, а неки су му чак и аплодирали.En: Marko's days were filled with passersby who stood and listened. Most threw in a few coins, and some even applauded him.Sr: Али постојали су и они који нису разумели. Они који су се смејаши, казали да је његова музика само бучна надмашивања људске улуде.En: But there were also those who didn't understand. Those who laughed and said his music was just noisy indulgence of human folly.Sr: Ти гласови су били као опаки вукови у ноћи, покушавајући ухватити његов стражањ.En: Those voices were like wicked wolves in the night, trying to catch his spirit.Sr: Али један дан, када је свирао у парку, појавио се један човек. Брамер, директор престижног оркестра. Чуо је Маркову мелодију која је танцала као ветар у љетњој ноћи.En: But one day, while playing in the park, a man appeared. Braemer, the director of a prestigious orchestra. He heard Marko's melody dancing like the wind on a summer night.Sr: Брамер је био особа која је могла да узме Марка из парка и стави га у златну залу. Али Марко је одабрао да остане.En: Braemer was the person who could take Marko out of the park and put him in a golden hall. But Marko chose to stay.Sr: За њега, свирање на улици не беше једноставно понижавајуће. Већ је било премостивање празнине између размаћућег и рађања, али је било и додирање душе Београда.En: For him, playing on the street was not simply demeaning. It was bridging the gap between indulgence and birth, and it was touching the soul of Belgrade.Sr: На крају је Марко наставио да свира по свом. Свирка на улицама и парковима модрог Београда, и покушао је да додирне душе пролазника.En: In the end, Marko continued to play on his own terms. He played on the streets and parks of blue Belgrade, trying to touch the souls of passersby.Sr: Његов сукој, као у већине музичара, је бил језгровит: бирање између престижа и страсти. И он је изабрао, па одустао од припремљених стаза златних зала, на корист улица и паркова Београда који су више напуњени животом.En: His journey, like that of most musicians, was jagged: choosing between prestige and passion. And he chose, giving up the prepared paths of golden halls, in favor of the streets and parks of Belgrade that were bursting with life.Sr: Такав је био Марко Петровић, дечак којем је више значило да свирау једноставности, него у слави.En: That was Marko Petrovic, a boy for whom simplicity carried more meaning than fame.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: The Melodic Resilience: A Street Artist's Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/the-melodic-resilience-a-street-artists-journey Story Transcript:Zh: 晨色还未完全的褪去，霓虹灯的余晖一直闪到白天，在混乱的城市的一隅，张伟举着他最宝贵的萨克斯风，独自站在寂静的街角。这条街道上的每块石砖都淬炼着他的梦想，即使沉寂，即使困顿。En: The morning colors had not completely faded, and the glow of the neon lights continued into the day. In a corner of the chaotic city, Zhang Wei held his most precious saxophone, standing alone on a quiet street corner. Every brick on this street was tempered with his dreams, even in silence, even in hardship.Zh: 张伟这一天早早起床，只为能在街头的最长的黄昏中找到身心的共鸣。他吹奏的旋律像风一样悠扬，带着早晨的清醒和冷静，穿越忙碌的街头，绕进了街头巷尾，让人无法忽视。En: Zhang Wei woke up early that day, just to find a resonance of body and mind in the longest dusk on the street. The melodies he played were as melodious as the wind, carrying the clarity and calmness of the morning. They traversed the busy streets, winding through the alleys, impossible to ignore.Zh: 然而，这个城市忙碌的人群似乎并未注意到他。他们脚步匆匆，面孔冷漠，无暇听这个街头艺人的诗歌。张伟的心沉重了起来，他的萨克斯风演奏渐渐地失去了力度，成了仅仅穿越街头巷尾的轻微声响。En: However, the busy crowds of this city seemed to pay no attention to him. They hurriedly walked, their faces cold and indifferent, too preoccupied to listen to the poetry of this street artist. Zhang Wei felt his heart grow heavy, and his saxophone playing gradually lost its strength, becoming just a faint sound traversing the streets and alleys.Zh: 然而他坚持不懈，坚定地吹奏着他的萨克斯风。他的旋律藏着故事，它们充满了希望和悲伤，充满了生活的苦涩和生命的坚韧。他知道，他的音乐与这个城市，与他的人生一样，只要有坚持，总有一天会被人听见。En: Nevertheless, he persisted, steadfastly playing his saxophone. His melodies hid stories, full of hope and sadness, filled with the bitterness of life and the toughness of life. He knew that his music, like this city and his life, as long as he persevered, would be heard by someone one day.Zh: 正当他吹奏出更加激烈的旋律时，一个小男孩竟然在他的身边停了下来。他静静地听着，清澈的眼眸中充满了对音乐的热爱和对这个世界的好奇。他没有金钱，但他赠给张伟的是他一直渴望的认同感。En: Just as he played a more intense melody, a little boy unexpectedly stopped beside him. He listened quietly, his clear eyes full of love for music and curiosity about the world. He had no money, but what he gave Zhang Wei was the sense of recognition he had longed for.Zh: 眼看着夜幕降临，张伟改变了吹奏的方式，他轻挑萨克斯风弯曲的金属体，共鸣出为小男孩独奏的曲子。音乐如水流淌过街头，洗涤了这天的疲惫，亦弥漫着温暖与安慰。小男孩望着张伟，眼眸中闪过的是对音乐的敬畏，便知道那是他生命中最美的瞬间。En: As night fell, Zhang Wei changed his style of playing. He gently plucked the curved metal body of the saxophone and resonated a solo piece for the little boy. The music flowed through the streets like water, washing away the fatigue of the day, filling the air with warmth and comfort. The little boy looked at Zhang Wei, and in his eyes flashed awe for the music, knowing that it was the most beautiful moment of his life.Zh: 这个城市世俗繁华，人们三千疾走，只有张伟和小男孩在街头，享受这个陷入夜色的华灯初上时分，低声吟诵着城市的赞歌。最后，小男孩离开了，但留给张伟的，是信任，是认同，也是他演奏下去的动力。En: In this bustling city, people hurriedly walked, but only Zhang Wei and the little boy were on the street, enjoying the moment when the night descended and the city lights first lit up, softly reciting the anthem of the city. Finally, the little boy left, but what he left with Zhang Wei was trust, recognition, and the motivation to keep playing.Zh: 张伟知道，他的音乐，和他的生活一样，都需要时间的熏陶。童年的梦想，成了他的力量，推动他在这个城市边缘的街头艺人生涯中依然坚守。那个街角的陌生小男孩，就是他音乐旅程中的一盏灯火，在黎明前的黑暗中指引着他。En: Zhang Wei knew that his music, like his life, needed time to mature. His childhood dreams became his strength, propelling him to persevere in his career as a street artist on the edge of this city. The unfamiliar little boy on that street corner was a guiding light in the darkness before dawn, guiding his musical journey.

Your daily update on new releases, tours, and business news from MusicIndustryCity.com Face to Face announce new LP ‘No Way Out But Through The new album will be released on Fat Wreck Chords on September 10th. It was produced by regular collaborator Siegfried Meier, and they've released the first single and title track. Face to Face will be touring this year and next, including a stop at the sold-out Furnace Fest and other festival appearances in the United States and Europe. Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monae Pull Out of Bonnaroo Festival Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have withdrawn from the Bonnaroo festival, organizers revealed on social media.

Pachelbel's CanonPachelbel's Canon is an accompanied canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel in his Canon and Gigue for 3 violins and basso continuo. It is sometimes called Canon and Gigue in D or Canon in D. Neither the date nor the circumstances of its composition are known, and the oldest surviving manuscript copy of the piece dates from the 19th century. Like his other works, Pachelbel's Canon went out of style, and remained in obscurity for centuries. A 1968 arrangement and recording of it by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra gained popularity over the next decade, and in the 1970s the piece began to be recorded by many ensembles; by the early 1980s its presence as background music was deemed inescapable. From the 1970s onward, elements of the piece, especially its chord progression, were used in a variety of pop songs. Since the 1980s, it has also been used frequently in weddings and funeral ceremonies in the Western world.
