This week we are thrilled to be joined by seven-time All-American and rising senior on the Utah gymnastics team, Ella Zirbes. Ella is known not only for her beautiful gymnastics but also for being an advocate for mental health in the sport as someone who has very publicly struggled with performance anxiety. We dive deeper into the struggles she's faced and how she's learned to manage her anxiety while competing. We also talk about the pressure and expectations that come with representing a program with as rich a legacy as the Red Rocks, dealing with social media, and the roller coaster that was her junior season.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, Derek H, Emily, Sharon B, MSU, Kimberly G, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Dana, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Hayley B, Bethany J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Debbie, Taryn M, Amy M, Chuck C, Kaitlin, Susan P, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Kay, Julie B, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Alberto D, Kristina T, Abigail W, Jennifer K, Kate M, Naomi S, Claudia L, Erin L, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika M, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Okcaro, Tyler, Paola, Heather, Kate, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Lacy, Dana C, Grace, Pat G, Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Róisín, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Laura L, Katy S, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro,  JD B, Cookiecutter, SuniFan, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Lacie M, Sara G, Kerry H, Leah D, Margaret G, Molly, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Sarah M, Grace M, Laura A, Justin D, Jas, Kendrick C, Rich A, Ty T, Nick S, Becky E, Annsley M, Melody M, Stacey M, Erica H, Kathy, Teressa, Angela C, Bridgett C, Ashley D, Whitney J, Shelly A, Erika B, DFP, Lisa M, Samantha T & Mallory D!

Do bigger venues create bigger experiences—or do they take us further away from the music?In this episode of Americana Curious, Ben Fanning and Zach Schultz debate whether arenas have changed the live music experience for the worse and share the intimate venues that have left the biggest impression on them.From Charleston's beloved Pour House and Nashville's legendary Robert's Western World to First Avenue in Minneapolis, Red Rocks, the Ryman Auditorium, and hidden gems you've probably never heard of, they explore why some venues create unforgettable nights while others simply host concerts.Along the way, they share stories about seeing artists like John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Charlie Crockett, American Aquarium, Mount Joy, Hiss Golden Messenger, Mason Jennings, and many more—and explain why discovering music in small venues may be one of the best investments any music fan can make.In this episode you'll discover:Why small venues often create deeper connections between artists and audiencesThe independent venues every Americana fan should visitHow outdoor venues transform the live music experienceBucket-list music destinations across AmericaWhy supporting local venues helps keep live music alive for future generationsWhether you're planning your next concert road trip or simply looking for your next favorite venue, this episode will inspire you to get closer to the music—and stay curious.Also follow us and join the conversation on Instagram and YouTube.

Today's guest is a songwriter four albums deep, with a song that's been picking up new listeners for nine years and Mick Fleetwood playing on her latest record. But her real story isn't any of that.From weekend stage camps in West London to opening Wembley for Taylor Swift five months after giving birth, she spent a decade releasing roughly one song a year into near silence. What kept her going wasn't a plan — it was a pair of collaborators who got nothing back for years and got up and made something every day anyway.This is an honest conversation about what a long stretch of nobody listening actually feels like, and what happens when the proof finally shows up on a timeline you didn't choose.And The Writer Is...

After attending Love Letter from the Afterlife at Red Rocks—a tribute to the late poet Andrea Gibson featuring their final performance alongside the Colorado Symphony—Buffy returns to one simple phrase from Andrea's work: try softer.In this episode, she explores what it means to meet life with less force and more presence. Through stories and reflection, Buffy considers how softening can become a daily practice for the body, heart, and spirit.  What changes when you stop pushing against your circumstances? What does softness look like when it meets your loss and grief?If you'd like to learn more about Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley's story, you can watch the documentary Come See Me in the Good Light on HBO. 

A band that adopts a highway, cleans it with fans, then goes straight back to building a tightly synced live show is the kind of story we can't stop talking about. I'm joined by Rex Larkman, drummer for Tropidelic, for a conversation that moves from Cleveland pride to the real mechanics of modern touring, with plenty of laughs and hard-earned lessons in between. We get into the Cleveland music scene and how a “Lake Erie ocean” mindset can fuel a band whose sound blends reggae rock, funk, hip-hop, and high-energy drumming. Rex breaks down the drummers who shaped him, from Neil Peart and Trey Cool to Joey Jordison and Carter Beauford, and explains how he approaches recording versus performing so the parts serve the song but the stage still hits like a rush. Then we go deep on the gear and the why behind it: click track philosophy, backing tracks used as layered support rather than shortcuts, and Rex's practical Roland SPD-SX setup with count-offs and a kill switch for the nights when tech fights back. We also talk tour life, Warped Tour chaos, rain-soaked shows, and the surreal feeling of playing Red Rocks, plus the “basement of Red Rocks” vibe at The Caverns. We wrap with Tropidelic's new album First Light, DIY music video production, and a shout-out to the unsung heroes behind every great show. If you like artist interviews, touring stories, drumming talk, and behind-the-scenes music production, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Episode 283. It's a 1:30pm Saturday podcast and nobody's complaining. Tony and Mike recap the Dirty Heads at Red Rocks — including Sophia Lynn's live debut and the most trustworthy hat exchange in concert history — before diving deep into crazy history and science. A Polish bear who enlisted in WWII. A dead man who fooled Hitler. A woman in 1726 who allegedly gave birth to rabbits. A pope who wrote erotic novels and then tried to bury them. Oh, and a tablespoon of neutron star would destroy the Earth. We did the math. It's about 1.3 million elephants' worth of bad news. And Mystic Mountain Morning, Tony's new single, is out now. Don't sleep on it. Buckle up buttercup! It's a fun one.Cheers!m&t#MikeAndTonyShow #Episode283 #CrazyHistory #WildScience #DirtyHeads #RedRocks #WojitekTheBear #OperationMincemeat #NeutronStar #SpaceScience #QuantumEntanglement #GrizzlyMan #WeekendAtBernies #PopePiusII #MaryToft #TrueCrime #FunFacts #HistoryPodcast #SciencePodcast #ComedyPodcast #TonyDollar #MysticMountainMorning #Denver #ColoradoPodcast #PodcastLife

Roadcase was back in Nashville where I interviewed @laidbackcountrypicker just before their show at The Basement last week, and I'm super excited to share this interview with you!! Dave Prince and his wife Teresa (aka Honey, in hair curlers, moo-moo and sunglasses) are the self-described Hillbilly Power Duo that make up the remarkable story behind Laid Back Country Picker. Skilled lifelong musicians, both Dave and Honey are retired school teachers from Eastern Kentucky who have successfully forged a path in the music business after 25 years as educators. Their vibe is unmistakable, and forms the enduring charm beneath the surface of these serious country rockers. Dave (with Honey, who is his curiously silent partner) talked to me about his background as he shared with me the stories that reflect a lifetime of performance both in the classroom and, most recently, on stage -- and shares with me the story of one special student of his, Tyler Childers, with whom Dave shares a special bond. This is a truly heartwarming story of reaching extraordinary success -- no matter at what point in life it may arrive.=======================================Chapters:00:00 - Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg05:41 — Opening and setup05:58 — Intro to Dave Prince and Honey06:30 — Growing up in Eastern Kentucky09:08 — Family poverty, bootlegging, and survival11:48 — Childhood freedom, family, and country life13:22 — First in the family to graduate high school and go to college15:17 — Music dreams, cover bands, and paying the bills16:35 — Moving toward original music and Luna and the Mountain Jets18:21 — Teaching career and Teacher of the Year18:50 — The teacher who changed everything20:41 — Going back to school and starting teaching22:15 — Meeting Tyler Childers in class23:18 — Playing together and Tyler covering Luna songs24:20 — Early gigs together and the Rhyming25:52 — Red Rocks and the live recording26:25 — The Laid Back Country Picker shirt and character27:33 — Luck, preparation, and opportunity29:46 — Playing a stadium show with Tyler29:46 — Recording in Nashville and Tyler's role30:14 — Pandemic changes the band setup30:59 — Honey's stage outfit and the band identity32:35 — Retirement and more time for music41:19 — What's next for Laid Back Country Picker42:30 — Midwest dates with Driving and Crying44:48 — How Australia happened by chance46:04 — Australian crowds and musical influence48:01 — “McGoffin County Cadillac” and the song that launched things49:16 — “They Only Come Around” and Eastern Kentucky history50:11 — Using LBJ archival footage in the video51:00 — Closing thoughts and Episode Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

We also dive into the challenges of building a career without following the traditional industry playbook, creating community through Sunny Days and Everwild Music Festival, staying connected to their Cleveland roots, and what continues to drive them after years of success. Along the way, Matt shares stories from the road, lessons learned from touring with artists like 311, Dirty Heads, and Lupe Fiasco, and reflects on milestone moments ranging from performing at Red Rocks to throwing out the first pitch at a Cleveland Guardians game. Whether you're a longtime Tropidelic fan or discovering the band for the first time, this episode offers an honest look at perseverance, creativity, and building something that lasts.

What makes a piece of public art “legitimate”? Denverite recently profiled artist Tom Dorsa, an appliance repairman by day who also installs his own artwork when and where he likes. “27 PACKETS OF TACO BELL DIABLO SAUCE” was a fixture on the Cherry Creek Trail – set amongst 48 other city-approved pieces – for more than two years before it was covered up. Podcast host and regular guest Michelle Jackson joins host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love to dig into the idea of sanctioned vs. unsanctioned art in public spaces. They also discuss how personal perceptions of the state of downtown can overshadow the actual experience of being there, plus the trio shares their can't-miss concerts for the summer season!  Bree mentioned the Amyl and the Sniffers show tonight at Red Rocks, as well as Sierra Ferrell's appearance in August. Olivia talked about concert pianist Yuja Wang's concert at Chautauqua Auditorium in July.

If you've been tapped into the reggae rock scene over the last few years, there's a good chance The Elovaters have been on your radar—and if not, this is the episode to change that. On this episode of Caught on the Mike, I sit down with Jackson Wetherbee to talk about the journey from local Massachusetts shows to chart-topping success and sold-out crowds across the country. We get into the early days as The Cornerstone, the breakout moment with Defy Gravity, and how the band has continued to evolve their sound through projects like Castles and Endless Summer. Jackson opens up about the realities of life on the road, the pressure that comes with success, and the importance of staying grounded while everything around you scales up. We also dive into the creative process behind their upcoming album Shark Belly Motel, what makes this chapter different, and how collaborations with artists like Bryce Vine and Jared Watson helped shape the record. Plus—we talk about what it means to headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre, one of the most iconic venues in the world, and how moments like that redefine what “making it” really looks like. If you're into real conversations about music, growth, and building something that lasts—this one's for you.
