Brad Skistimas of Five Times August stops by to join host Patrick Henningsen under the palapas in the Anarchapulco podcast lounge. Five Times August is the solo act of singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas. Skistimas has appeared on the FOX Business channel as an expert "Do-It-Yourself" indie artist and featured in Billboard Magazine, Performing Songwriter, Guitar Player, PeopleMagazine, and USA Today. He was the first completely unsigned act to have an album distributed in Walmart stores nationwide with 2007's "The Independent." The music has been featured on many popular TV shows, commercials, and films and tour dates have supported some of the nation's top acts. https://www.fivetimesaugust.com/ https://21stcenturywire.com/ https://anarchapulco.com/    

On today's show, Five Times August's Brad Skistimas shares his newest song - a collaboration with Joseph Arthur! Namely, a hauntingly beautiful, re-imagined version of Joseph's classic IN THE SUN. Later in the show, Joseph is joined by legal and governance advisor Libby Klein - who is speaking at the ASF's Inaugural "Progress through Science & Freedom" Conference in Sydney - to discuss the World Health Organization's power grab. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Five Times August is the solo act of singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas. Skistimas has appeared on the FOX Business channel as an expert "Do-It-Yourself" indie artist and featured in Billboard Magazine, Performing Songwriter, Guitar Player, PeopleMagazine, and USA Today. In early 2021 Five Times August began releasing a series of protest songs taking aim at Covid-era regulations, the Biden administration, Justin Trudeau, as well as Anthony Fauci - the hit track SAD LITTLE MAN soared to the top of multiple charts, captivating the attention of millions. In November 2022 Five Times August released the full length album SILENT WAR a compilation featuring all of the recent protest singles - the album reached #1 on Amazon and Apple Music's singer/songwriter and alternative charts. ​In 2023 Five Times August signed with new record label Baste Records to release the brand new single AIN'T NO ROCK AND ROLL, calling out all the mainstream musicians and bands that didn't speak out against government tyranny in recent years. Despite encountering suppression on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, the music videos been viewed millions of times and prominently featured on Glenn Beck, Chad Prather, Del Bigtree's The HighWire, The Federalist, The Post Millennial, RebelNews, and many more. https://www.fivetimesaugust.com/   GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Libby Klein is a lawyer, company secretary and governance advisor, working mostly with Not-for-profits and charities. In 2021, Libby was incredulous – and then incensed – to learn that doctors in Australia were being gagged from talking about early treatments and risks/benefits of vaccines. This led her on a path of discovery, and she now spends most of her spare time researching the World Health Organisation, having figured out that the proposed new powers for the W.H.O., combined with Australia's emergency laws, will mean the end of functioning democracy in Australia: the W.H.O. will tell us what we need to do in the case of a public health emergency, and we will be legally obliged to comply, with little or no role for our parliaments let alone individual citizens wishing to make their own medical choices. Her conclusion: we must Exit the W.H.O. immediately. Libby has honours degrees in Agricultural Science and Law, and a background in financial services. She is a fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia, a Graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, a member of the Law Council of Australia Charities and Not-for-profits Committee, and honorary legal adviser to the Australian Medical Network. She is the founding principal of Social Impact Legal and a director of Brightlight Impact Holdings, a global leader in impact investing. Libby has also previously served as a director of Christian Super, and of Churches of Christ Financial Services. She writes at her substack Reclaiming Ethical Medicine. https://libbyklein.substack.com/ https://australiaexitsthewho.com/ https://australianmedicalnetwork.com/

Jeff Tuohy is a Billboard Award-winning Americana artist based out of New York City. Hailed by Writer's Bone as “one of the best up-and-coming songwriters in North America,” Tuohy brings a style of music known as Hudson Delta to produce “a high level of musicianship and pop songwriting expertise” (Amplifier Magazine) with "a little bit of grit and a whole lot of soul" (Newport Mercury). A “daring and multifaceted” performer (Hartford Advocate), his debut album, BREAKING DOWN THE SILENCE was featured on radio across North America and ranked a D.I.Y. Pick of Performing Songwriter magazine. Tuohy's upcoming, early 2021 release, HUDSON DELTA follows the success of his sophomore record, COCOON which featured the New Orleans-themed, under- ground favorite, BOURBON STREET. HUDSON DELTA injects New York City grit into the New Orleans/Texas sound, taking the listener through a genre-bending, audible road trip.

Rachael Sage is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, poet, and visual artist  She is the founder of indie label MPress Records. Sage has released fourteen solo studio albums. Her performances combine music with between-song banter. Sage was named one of the Top 100 Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years by Performing Songwriter magazine.  She joins host Michael J.  Arbouet once again to talk about her new album Poetica.Sage said the album “was an opportunity to create new work with a fantastic group of musicians, with no creative boundaries. The language itself and imagery therein has led us to places musically that traditional songwriting never would have. There are pieces that fall into a more classical vein, and others that skew more blues, and if you believe it, Americana and even jazz.”Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/quidditasfactor)

Julie Rust grew up in a house where there was a lot of music; her father played trumpet and her mother was a big band singer, and Julie grew up with a piano in her room! She realized that she wanted to play piano at age seven, and was writing songs by the time she was sixteen, majored in Music at college, and ended up playing coffee houses all over the country. She says that she writes songs by listening to her heart; her music is like a thread of love that flows through her and helps her stay connected. She says music healed her and taught her that she is love, and she hopes her music can help other people realize the same thing. She also says that even if a musician is just playing at home, even that music makes a difference and is changing the world. Julie says things really started happening for her when she stopped trying to force her career.

Can an artist find happiness without finding success? Wanna Be Rock Star, Songwriter, and unwitting comedian Doug Robertson thinks so and shares his story with us on this episode. He got into the business because he liked the idea of girls screaming after him when he performed, an idea he got after seeing the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show when he was a young boy. At the age of nine, Robertson was ripping off and re-writing Beach Boy and Beatle songs. “That's how I learned how to structure songs,” Doug says. Upon moving to LA, his writing education continued under Oscar winner Al Kasha and songwriting guru John Braheny. His roots in '60's music led to the “New Vintage Acoustic Rock” style he presents today.  Whether in bands or solo, Doug developed an engaging audience-centered performing style full of humorous stories and guitar-driven rhythms. If Doug has other performers with him you are going to hear some amazing harmonies.  Doug enjoyed various solo and combo incarnations like 1975's formation of Christian band SHELTER, recording his tune "Bridge Builder” on the compilation album "Come Back Soon”.  In 1996 Robertson recorded his first solo album "New Clothes”. When released, a radio personality introduced the title song saying “Here's something by a songuy named Doug Robertson”. The “Songuy” nickname stuck.  The New Millennium saw Doug's Salute to the Woodstock era with his band “mAX YASGUR'S FARM” recording the ”Salute” CD in 2006.  Performing credits include opening appearances for Johnny Rivers, Leonard Nimoy, Len Chandler, and Al Jarreau. He has been a featured act as a soloist and with his bands.  Doug enjoyed 14 years as co-coordinator of Nashville Songwriters Association International's Reno, Nevada workshop.  After founding his production company Nostrebor Music, he produced his own  albums “New Clothes” and  “Salute” and the self-titled debut CD for the band ZERO THEORY  (With top 40 placement on national indie charts)  Returning his focus as a Performing Songwriter, Doug has emerged from the studio with a new 6 song EP entitled “Epiphany” which is expected to be released in November 2020. Singles from “Epiphany included “Portola”- a '70's light rock tune about a lonesome railroad worker and “Why Are Armadillos In Nashville” - a Texas Swing explanation for the critters being found in Tennessee that is accompanied by an animated music video of cute armadillos.  Robertson's new tunes are filled with delight and insight. “The Bla Bla Cafe” (60's Calif. Rock) portrays life in a gay cafe; “Like Don't Always Mean Love” (Joe Walsh Rocker) is about the only guy in the room who doesn't know he's falling in love. “And The Life (Ballad) is a tender look at a roadside memorial; “Hey Boss, You're Fired” (Bar-room Rock & Roll) tells off the boss. Taking your life back!  Live appearances are jovial and engaging. Robertson has developed a live show entitled “Retrospective of a Western Hippie” where Doug and his band perform original and cover tunes that chronicle his life as a musical wannabe. “There are more people out there who tried and failed to become rock stars than the folks who actually made it.” Says Doug, “I relate to being the wannabe.” The Business Side of Music ™ © 2020 Beyond the Music Co-Produced & Hosted (by the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender  Co-Producer, Creator & Technical Advisor (the man behind the curtain): Tom Sabella Director of Video & Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Editor (the “ums' and “aahs' removal guy who makes us sound good): Mark Sabella Marketing & Social Media: Kaitlin Fritts Executive Assistant to Bob & Tom, and editor for the Blog: Meagan Droke All Around Problem Solver: Connie Ribas Recorded at: The Bunker in Franklin, TN (except during the Covid 19 pandemic, then it's pretty much done VIA Skype or over the phone, with the exception for those fearless enough to come to Bob Bender's living room… and this is one of those episodes!).

Founding band/soul mates Jen and Rob Slocumb met in 1996 with a twist of fate inside a Houston, Texas, coffee shop where Jen worked booking bands. Rob was home to see his parents after a music venture fizzled. It started as a simple bond over music. Time led them to realize it was something much more. The two fell in love and were married. They continued to write and play music, building up enough of a repertoire to start producing albums and touring around the country and the world.Their work has not gone unnoticed. Some of the most influential and well-respected music critics of our time have paid tribute to the duo. They have been listed and featured in Billboard Magazine, USA Today, AOL Music, XM Satellite Radio and Performing Songwriter. Their songs have received awards and have been featured in made-for-TV movies shown to national audiencesIn 2016, Jen and Rob bought a historical home (built in 1907) in Downtown Opelika, Alabama and converted it into The Sound Wall, a multi-purpose creative space featuring a state of the art recording studio, a chefs kitchen, and artist residence.

This week I'm chatting with Charlotte Martin. Charlotte is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the release of her record Stromata.   Over the course of her career, Charlotte Martin has recorded both major label and independent releases, performed sold-out shows to audiences around the world and shared stages with the likes of Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, Damien Rice, Jason Mraz, and many others. Her music has been licensed for a plethora of television shows, including “So You Think You Can Dance,” which regularly features her song “The Dance” during the show's open. Details magazine called her “a seductive performer” and “a skilled lyricist who writes with surgical precision” and Performing Songwriter praised Martin as “a born storyteller and affecting vocalist.” In addition to taking a deep dive into discussing some of the tracks on the record, this conversation is full of lessons and insight about navigating a career in music business. Contrary to popular belief, it's not all rainbows and unicorns after you sign a record deal.   Links  charlottemartinmusic.com Brassy Broadcast interview with Lisa Lombardo

Steve Coffey of the Rockin' Pontoons came by the Gumbo Show with Joe and hung out with us on Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Steve and the Pontoons have accumulated an impressive following around the Atlanta area and we've been fans ever since we first heard "Hank" (which is also the first song heard during the interview below). Critics have raved about the Pontoons' debut album Faith in a Happy Ending, and we'd go right along with them. Performing Songwriter magazine even selected it as a “Top-12 DIY” national pick! Steve is a very funny and entertaining guy, and we enjoyed hearing some of his hilarious stories as well as his fine music.

Where do songwriters find things to write songs about? For Janis Ian, a great source was the newspaper.You can check out Janis Ian's music and more at www.janisian.com. Janis is a legendary and extraordinary songwriter. She's also written a lot of great articles about songwriting and being a singer-songwriter including a column in Performing Songwriter magazine. (You can read many of these article on her website - click on "Prose".) In fact, she's written about lots of things - she's very smart, compassionate and interested in almost everything. (She'd probably say that these are qualities that help in her songwriting too.)And you can hear some of the music I've written at my music website: www.ChocolateStrawberryStudios.comThanks again for listening. And please comment - I look forward to hearing what you think!

The Performing Songwriter Magazine features musicians and artists along with their songwriting. They recently held a party at the Nashville office to mark the special occasion of 15 years of publishing.

Murphy's Saloon #4 Show Notes: • Almost Heaven by Tommy Z. Tommy infuses his songs with a mix of jazz, R&B, rock and funk, tinged with spirituality. His latest CD, Universal Love, was produced by Nick Blagona (Bee Gees, Nazareth, Moody Blues, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Police, Chicago) He also appears on a recently released solo album Gillan's Inn by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Tommy's personal Web site (where you can buy his CD) is here. • Talk Is Cheap by The Shades of Gray. The Shades of Gray are four young guys out of Salt Lake City who've been playing together for 2 years. They list Herbie Hancock, the Allman Bros. and Jimi Hendrix as influences. The band's site is here. • Your Heart by Anne Heaton. Heaton has been based out of New York in recent years, but is considering a move back to Chicago, her home town. She was an opening act on Jewel's Spring 2005 tour, and lists Fine Young Cannibals, Peter Gabriel, Tom Petty, 10,000 Maniacs and the Indigo Girls as influences. Heaton's debut album, Black Notebook, was chosen by Performing Songwriter magazine as one of its Top 12 Independent Releases. All three of her independent release are available at her site. • Take Your Shoes Off by Janet Ryan and Straight Up!. As Murphy's Saloon listeners may remember, I found Janet Ryan and Straight Up! over at GarageBand.com. This is their second appearance at Murphy's Saloon. After I played them the first time, they added my logo and a link to Murphy's Saloon at their site. Thanks, guys! • Three Chords by (The Rev.) Jimmie Bratcher. Bratcher is another return visitor to Murphy's Saloon. Although he sorta downplays the fact he's a Rev., Bratcher uses music to help reach people, and it's absolutely killer blues. His personal site is here. • Church of the Electric Soul by the Robert Farrell Farrell, a resident of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has been playing guitar since he was five years old (he's now in his 30s), and has been described by Billboard Magazine as "arguably the greatest undiscovered guitarist in Canada." Among his kudos, Farrell's got three New Artist Radio (N.A.R.) Awards: for "Musician of the Year" (2002 and 2003) and "Male Rock Artist of the Year" (2002). I'd suggest visiting his site and doing your part (by buying his CDs) to lift the public profile of this superlative guitarist. • And, as usual, the Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit, and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast.
