Send us a textWhat happens when a buried pop gem finally gets its moment to shine? Stella Soleil joins us to share the fascinating 14-year journey of her song "Hello" – from its unexpected birth in a hard rock band to its powerful 2025 revival.Stella takes us behind the curtain of her remarkable career, revealing how she championed Slipknot before they became global metal icons. "I always insisted we play on the same show," she explains, describing her early conviction that the masked musicians would "take over the planet" when others couldn't see past their unconventional image. This thread of recognizing potential runs throughout her story, especially with "Hello" – a song she created with members of Slipknot in their side project Dirty Little Rabbits.The conversation delves into the creative rebirth of "Hello" with legendary producer John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode), where Stella spent an incredible 52 hours recording vocals to create the song's distinctive harmonies. "It went from a single line vocal to 72 tracks," she reveals, describing the transformation from quirky original to anthemic 2025 version. We explore the making of the music video with director Jeffrey Panzer, filming in natural light with genuine human connections that perfectly capture the song's message that "all good people find one another." Stella's authentic personality shines throughout – from her fear of flying to her signature friendship pins adorning her Adidas Superstars. Listen now for a master class in musical perseverance, the power of timing, and how sometimes the most meaningful songs take the longest journey to find their audience.

country superstar Sammy Sadler. Who continues to honor the legacy of '80s and '90s country with the release of his latest single, “If I Had A Cheating Heart.” Originally a Top 10 hit for Mel Street in 1978, the song was later re-recorded by Ricky Lynn Gregg in 1993, reaching the Top 40. Written by Wayland Holyfield and Al Turney, “If I Had a Cheating Heart” has become a favorite among country traditionalists. Sammy Sadler's take on the classic track proves that his timeless style continues to resonate with fans of authentic country music. With a career shaped by determination and raw talent, Sammy Sadler has carved out a story all his own in Nashville. He first gained national attention in 1989 with his charting rendition of Aaron Neville's “Tell It Like It Is,” followed by “You Made It Easy.” But his momentum was cut short when he was seriously wounded in the same shooting that took the life of Cash Box chart director Kevin Hughes—an incident that became known as the “Murder on Music Row.” But Sammy Sadler is excited to be doing select shows with singer-songwriter Dave Gibson on their ‘Hits & History Tour. #countrymusic #countrymusiclover #countryradio #musicrow

London recording artist Samantha Hooey talks about her return to making music.

Send us a textEver wondered what it would be like to completely reinvent yourself after a successful career? Christopher Wyze's remarkable journey from advertising executive to blues musician proves it's never too late to follow your passion.Growing up in Indiana, Christopher's introduction to blues came when his college-aged brother brought home BB King and Bobby Blue Bland records. Though the music resonated with him, life took him in a different direction – building a career in marketing, running an advertising agency, and writing books. Music remained a distant memory until a chance encounter at a church wine dinner twenty years ago led to an impromptu performance that changed everything.When invited to front a local band, Christopher embraced the opportunity despite having been away from music for decades. Feeling he needed to contribute more than just vocals, he taught himself harmonica and eventually found his way to Clarksdale, Mississippi – the heart of delta blues country. There, he met Ralph Carter, former musical director for Eddie Money, who became his producer and collaborator. Their partnership led to recording sessions at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios and a record deal with Big Radio Records, a company with direct ties to Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis and Howlin' Wolf.What makes Christopher's story particularly fascinating is how his life experience shaped his music. Unlike genres where youth dominates, blues benefits from the authenticity that comes with age. As Christopher puts it, "This music doesn't happen without experience." His background as a writer and marketer gave him unique tools for songwriting and promoting his music. Perhaps most remarkably, his song "Three Hours from Memphis" – written while driving to meet his producer – unwittingly predicted his own journey before it fully unfolded.Ready to be inspired by a second-act success story? Listen as Christopher shares how embracing the blues led him to find joy, purpose, and unexpected friendships in the later chapters of his life.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comVirtually You: https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/Christopher Wyze: https://christopherwyzeandthetellers.com/ Support the show

Send us a textFew artists bring a perspective to country music as unique as Chris Erasmus. Growing up in a game reserve in Zimbabwe before relocating to South Africa, Erasmus developed an authentic connection to rural life that most country singers can only romanticize. On this captivating episode, he shares stories of herding buffalo on horseback, working as a genuine cowboy in Montana, and how these experiences naturally translated into a country music career based in London."I didn't set out to do country music," Erasmus reveals with a laugh. "I wrote music and everyone was like 'oh, this is country.'" This organic evolution speaks volumes about the authenticity underpinning his work. Drawing inspiration from storytellers like Johnny Cash and Bruce Springsteen, Erasmus brings a global perspective that challenges conventional genre boundaries while honoring country music's narrative traditions.What truly sets Erasmus apart is his multidisciplinary approach to performance. A former national-level decathlete who studied business at the University of Queensland, worked as a stuntman, and performs in musical theater, he applies the discipline from these varied pursuits directly to his music career. "If you stop practicing guitar, you're going to get worse. If you stop singing, you stop writing," he explains, drawing parallels between athletic training and musical development. "When you're not working is the time you've got to be working hardest to be ready."Currently working on a new album featuring collaboration with diverse musicians and producers, Erasmus offers fascinating insights into his creative process, alternating between starting songs with lyrics or exploring melodies on various instruments. From his resonator guitar to experimenting with cello instead of traditional fiddle, his willingness to push boundaries while respecting tradition creates a sound that's both familiar and refreshingly different.Listen now to discover how Chris Erasmus's extraordinary journey across continents has shaped a musical perspective that stands out in today's country music landscape. With a new single dropping this month and album on the way, this is the perfect time to familiarize yourself with this rising global talent.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comVirtually You: https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/Chris Erasmus: https://www.chriserasmus.com/ Support the show

Dani Bacon brings us the answer from rural Washington, where she's forged a musical identity that transcends easy categorization.Dani's story begins with family singing in church and early fascination with the Dixie Chicks, but quickly develops into something uniquely her own. Despite living eight hours from the nearest major music scene in Seattle, she's crafted a sound that blends country storytelling traditions with Americana sensibilities, creating music that feels both familiar and refreshingly authentic.The conversation takes us behind the curtain of independent music production as Dani shares her studio experiences with producer Kyler at Den Studios in Boise. Unlike the assembly-line approach of major Nashville studios, Dani enjoyed days of focused, collaborative creation resulting in music that reflects her artistic vision rather than commercial formulas. We're treated to fascinating insights about how modern artists can build meaningful industry connections despite geographic isolation—like how Dani discovered fiddle virtuoso Chelsea Parker through social media and eventually brought her into recording sessions.Throughout our discussion, Dani's refreshing perspective on the advantages of distance from industry hubs emerges. "I probably wouldn't fit in the Nashville box anyway," she reflects, acknowledging how her remote location has preserved her authentic voice while discussing songs like "Northern Pines" that explore the tension between dream-chasing and rootedness.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.com Support the show

In this powerful and personal episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach sits down with Meredith Andrews to talk about what it really means to worship through suffering. Known for her anthems of faith and honesty, Meredith opens up about her journey of learning to praise in the valley, not just the victory. Together, Zach and Meredith unpack what it looks like to choose worship as a response — even when emotions are raw and circumstances don’t make sense. They explore why worship is often most powerful in the valley, how praise helps us anchor to God's character in the middle of pain, what it looks like to remember God’s faithfulness when you're tempted to forget, the beauty of raw, real worship that doesn’t fake it — but presses through it, and the stories behind some of Meredith’s most vulnerable songs. This episode is for anyone who feels like lifting their hands is the last thing they want to do — but who’s ready to experience the healing power of God’s presence again.

Send us a textUncovering the musical evolution of Gradients, this episode takes listeners behind the curtain with a Minnesota rock band crafting their sound somewhere in the gradient between hard rock, alternative, and metal. The conversation reveals how a college talent show in 2019 sparked what would become a serious musical endeavor, bringing together musicians with surprisingly diverse influences.What makes Gradients fascinating is their authentic approach to creating music. Three of the members hold audio production degrees and live together, allowing for a constant creative environment where songs emerge organically—sometimes from structured writing sessions, other times from spontaneous late-night jams. The band discusses how their influences range from the Beatles and 70s hard rock to more modern acts like Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys, creating a unique sonic fingerprint that defies easy categorization.The episode dives deep into their recording process, with the band handling all aspects of production themselves using Logic Pro and carefully planned microphone techniques. We learn how they've evolved from quick demo recordings to more sophisticated production approaches, while maintaining the raw energy that defines their sound. Drummer Trevor, who joined more recently, shares his perspective on learning songs that were already recorded and how his punk-influenced style complements the band's sound.Throughout the conversation runs a thread of friendship and camaraderie—from elaborate pranks (including fully carpeting a bandmate's bathroom) to their shared commitment to high-energy live performances. The band emphasizes how showmanship matters as much as technical skill, with the goal of creating memorable experiences for audiences. With upcoming performances at the Red Carpet in St. Cloud and a new album "Come What May," Gradients represents what happens when musical passion meets technical skill and genuine friendship.Want to experience Gradients for yourself?

Send us a textWhen Stephanie Rabus sits behind a microphone, magic happens. The Nashville country artist brings a rare authenticity to her music that cuts through the noise of formulaic radio hits. On this episode, Stephanie takes us behind the curtain of her musical journey, revealing the bittersweet path that shaped both her sound and her soul.  Stephanie's story begins with family—specifically, joining her father's band "40 South" at age 21, where she injected contemporary hits into their oldies repertoire. This early experience planted seeds for her versatile musical approach that refuses to be boxed into just one sound. "I wanted to incorporate a little bit of all my influences," she explains, discussing her album "My Time Now" which seamlessly blends country, pop, blues, and rock elements while maintaining a cohesive heart.What makes Stephanie's music stand apart is its emotional depth. Her latest single "Pray You Down" emerged after profound personal losses—a close friend and band member, followed by her boyfriend's mother. The raw vulnerability in her performance transforms grief into something universally healing. "I know everyone can relate to just wishing they could talk to that person again," she shares, highlighting how music bridges our deepest human experiences.The conversation ventures into the realities of navigating music as an independent artist—the creative freedom balanced against financial challenges. Stephanie candidly discusses her collaborations with producers Justine Blazer and Brandon Heneger, opening for established artists like Lee Brice, and how childhood struggles with self-image and health issues ultimately strengthened her connection to music. "When I got to sing in school, people started complimenting me... it felt like there's something good here, something I can be confident in."Stephanie's father emerges as her unsung hero, championing her talent and handling behind-the-scenes work without compensation. His unwavering belief reflects what makes Stephanie's musical journey so compelling—authenticity always finds its audience. Whether you're a longtime country fan or just discovering her music, Stephanie Rabus delivers songs that feel like conversations with an old friend who truly understands your heart.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comStephanie Rabus: https://stephanierabus.net/ Support the show

Send us a textThis week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am proud to welcome Josh Christina, Recording Artist, scene-stealing, piano-wielding frontman, and veteran headliner of several cruise lines. Listeners know I am as passionate about music and comedy as I am about cruising so when I get a chance to have a conversation with someone who has performed on cruise ships, I am in my glory. Josh Christina is a dynamic and passionate musician whose love for piano rock has taken him on an incredible journey. His musical story began at the age of 7, inspired by the iconic sounds of Elvis Presley in Disney's Lilo & Stitch. It wasn't until age 15, after seeing the Broadway show Million Dollar Quartet and discovering the electrifying Jerry Lee Lewis, that Josh began playing piano, igniting his path as a pianist and performer. Josh's talents caught the attention of Grammy-nominated producer Kent Wells, who has worked with legends like Dolly Parton and Reba McIntire. Kent describes Josh as “such an old soul,” praising the way “the music just pours out of him.” This connection led to Josh recording in Nashville, creating music that resonates with the soul of classic rock and boogie-woogie. His single “Kayla Ann” topped several independent radio charts, and Josh's album Instincts (recorded at the historic Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN) was a testament to his mastery. Produced by Josh and Grammy-winning pianist Jon Carroll, Instincts received high praise, with Jon calling Josh a performer who “does it real well and means every note.” Josh's high-energy performances have taken him across the globe, including a UK tour where he graced the stage of Ireland's Late Late Show. He's headlined major cruise lines, bringing his piano rock show to fans of all ages worldwide. He's also shared the stage with some of the world's top boogie-woogie and rock ‘n' roll pianists, earning admiration from both peers and fans for keeping the genre alive. His latest album, UFO's Over Phoenix, recorded live at Stages Music and Arts in Maryland, has already captured attention for its unique sound. Daryl Davis, former bandleader and pianist for Chuck Berry, describes the album as striking “the perfect balance of a scent of the familiar while being creatively and refreshingly new.” Josh Christina's infectious energy, undeniable talent, and deep respect for rock and roll history have earned him a dedicated following. His music is a celebration of the past, present, and future of piano rock.Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Send us a textWhat happens when a Broadway performer steps away from the stage for a decade to raise children, then reemerges as a recording artist? In this candid conversation, Ann Kittredge reveals the unexpected twists in her artistic journey from theater to acclaimed vocalist.The heart of Kittredge's approach lies in her commitment to storytelling above all else. "I don't ever want it to be about my voice," she explains, detailing how she molds her vocal style to serve each song rather than imposing herself upon it. This chameleon-like flexibility allows her to move effortlessly between genres - from jazz and swing to country and folk - creating albums that defy easy categorization but maintain emotional authenticity.Kittredge shares a particularly moving story about her determination to record Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" as a love letter to music itself, despite her team's initial resistance. After bringing the song to planning meetings four separate times, she finally issued an ultimatum: "I have to do this song...if you really don't like it, you have my permission to not be involved." The song eventually became one of her most requested numbers, illustrating how creative conviction can overcome collaborative doubt.Perhaps most revealing is Kittredge's honesty about returning to performing after a decade-long hiatus to raise her children. "Confidence has been a big challenge," she admits, describing how she initially knew she "wasn't good" but recognized that improvement required persistence through discomfort. This vulnerability transformed into strength when her pandemic-inspired debut album - originally intended just for her children - unexpectedly garnered over a million streams on Spotify.Whether discussing caring for her mother with Alzheimer's, navigating her marriage of nearly forty years, or reimagining classic songs, Kittredge demonstrates that artistic growth often emerges from life's complexities rather than despite them. Her story offers powerful encouragement for anyone considering a creative reinvention at any age. Listen, be inspired, and then seek out the extraordinary work of independent artists like Kittredge who deserve your support.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comAnn Kittredge: https://www.annkittredge.com/ Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when a 19-year-old vocalist joins forces with seasoned musicians spanning six decades of life experience? In this riveting conversation with Awaiting Abigail, we discover how musical chemistry transcends age barriers and conventional wisdom.The Dallas-Fort Worth hard rock band shares their remarkable origin story - from guitarist James finding vocalist Abby through a "musician dating app" to their first high-profile gig at Trees in Deep Ellum. Abby reveals how she turned instrumental tracks into fully-formed songs from her home studio, delivering one powerful composition weekly to increasingly impressed bandmates who initially worried about the 42-year age gap between their youngest and oldest members.Behind their powerful sound lies a fascinating recording process with producer Alex Gerst at Empire Sound. The band details their transition to modern gear like the Quad Cortex for silent-stage performances while maintaining authentic rock energy. Their rapid ascent includes upcoming performances with LA Guns at the legendary Whiskey a Go Go in Hollywood, Lillian Axe's Texas tour, and a biker rally alongside Texas Hippie Coalition.Most compelling is how this self-described "island of misfit toys" functions as a cohesive unit despite their generational differences. As Abby puts it, their diversity "gives us different genres and time periods and mixes it together really well." What began as an uncertain collaboration has evolved into a musical family united by shared passion and mutual respect.Want to witness this unique rock phenomenon yourself?
