Hey there, music lovers.    Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.    I'm your host, Jeff Miers.   Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome two members of Letter To Elise, a young indie band that has already left a mark on the Western New York music scene, and is poised to take its soaring, anthemic sound out into the broader world.   Vocalist, songwriter and band founder Elliott Hunt and keyboardist/vocalist Chris Lillis bring an edgy urgency to their emotional, grandiose take on modern indie pop and alternative rock.    Their sound is at once familiar and fresh, and offers a unique take on indie tropes and the sort of pop hooks that helped to build the careers of artists like The Killers, Cage the Elephant and Catfish and the Bottle Men. And Hunt's emotionally intelligent lyrics and indelible vocal melodies reveal the influence of heritage artist like U2 and Bruce Springsteen.   During our chat, Elliott and Chris discuss their earliest musical epiphanies, their diverse musical influences, their recent joint cover of the Killers' ‘Mr. Brightside' with Goo Goo Dolls co-founder Robby Takac and members of the Bills Mafia, and their soon-to-be-released new EP, the result of a new and exciting partnership with producer Lennon Leppert.   Welcome to Why Music Matters, Elliott Hunt and Chris Lillis of Letter To Elise.  --- Follow Why Music Matters on social media https://instagram.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://www.facebook.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://twitter.com/wmmpod

Born in Buffalo NY, his father wore two hats as pianist and conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. He would seat Dave in the orchestra pit during performances as early as seven years old. Dave's brother Robert would soon become a multiple Grammy-nominated classical percussionist, and his sister an accomplished rock/soul singer. Shortly after his father's passing when Dave was 10, he suddenly took an interest in the piano that was sitting idly in the living room. Osmosis? Within six months Dave had mastered the C Sonata by Mozart,and began an obsession with XTC, Herbie Hancock, Yes, Todd Rundgren and of course, DEVO. Pretty diverse for an 11 year old. He clearly made the right choice. By the age of 17, he was one of the top keyboardists in his hometown, winning multiple awards consistently for seven years. Finally the big break came, when Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls called and left a simple message from sunny LA: “you wanna come out and tour with us for a year?” In a matter of one day Dave went from playing in front of 300 in a local Buffalo bar to playing Woodstock in front of 65000. This led to a two-and-a-half year relationship with the Goo Goo Dolls that took Dave around the world twice as touring keyboardist/vocalist for the “Dizzy Up The Girl” tour, the landmark album that spawned five top ten singles between 98 and 2000. That experience sealed his fate.

For our last day before we kick off the 'BOMB' – Best of Morning Bull, we had so much holiday themed stuff like interviews and topics, we could barely fit it all in! Vic Carucci stopped by for his last visit before Christmas to talk Bills @ Broncos with us! And, its Ugly Christmas Sweater Day! Robs Did You Know took place, as did the TrendZone featuring some great sound from around the world! Robby Takac is the bassist and backing/co-lead vocalist for Buffalo's own Goo Goo Dolls and happens to be a great friend of the show and obviously the region! He gave us a ring today to talk about his virtual show taking place tonight in benefit for his Music Is Art foundation. We gave you info on how to get involved and see the show tonight as well as asked Robby what he has been up to and how the 'Dolls' are doing. From 'the Office', very famously portraying Meredith, Kate Flannery called the show to promote her new Christmas album with actress and comedienne Jane Lynch. They were in Buffalo together just last year to perform and sing and she reminisced on that a bit with us during her visit. She also talked some 'Office' with us too. Lead singer and rocker from Twister Sister, Dee Snider joins us every so often because he is so available, and we really enjoy getting him on when we can. He talked his latest Christmas single released with Lzzy Hale, that he wrote about 30 years ago, that he originally sold to Celine Dion which went on to be included in the greatest selling Christmas album of all time. He told us some behind the scenes stories of the song and even some Christmas topics as well! As mentioned, and as he does every Friday pre-Bills game, Vic Carucci from the Buffalo News called us up to discuss Bills at Broncos tomorrow, Saturday afternoon at 430p! He broke down the injury report, told us what he thinks about Denver and their ability to put up a fight and, obviously, talked about the outlook for the team as they head into the new year and closer to the playoffs. Former MB producer and 97 Rock jock Darren Mckee, now very successful sportscaster out in Denver called in to remenisce and ALSO, talk some Buffalo Bills heading to his town! Darren was a lot of fun and really enjoyed catching up with us and obviously, reveling in the fact that the Bills have Josh Allen and the Broncos, do not. We had a chance to talk Christmas spirit and that included a great discussion about ugly Christmas sweaters and where, when and how we wear them! We had our own sweaters on to compete for the ugliest and we asked you to participate and let us know too! ONLY AVAILABLE on the Morning Bull Podcast!

Buffalo, NY-based alternative band Mom Said No has sprinted out of the garage and set its sights on the national stage. While some of the group’s members are still in their teens, Mom Said No has already perfected its own brand of high-energy, dramatic, and tuneful pop. With the vocal harmonic influences from The Beach Boys to the high energetic performances of James Brown and the pop sensibilities of The Cars, Mom Said No is truly an experience of its own.   Mom Said No’s debut EP, Motivation, presents four radio-ready original songs and is available for download through iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon. Recorded at Goo Goo Dolls bassist Robby Takac’s GCR Audio studios, the EP includes contributions from 10,000 Maniacs violinist/vocalist Mary Ramsey, Psychedelic Furs saxophonist Mars Williams, and Arkells keyboardist/vocalist Anthony Carone. The recording showcases infectious pop (“Song to You” and “The Intro”), tender ballads (“Never Ending Something,” which boasts Ramsey’s passionate string playing), and uptempo indie rock (“Cruising”).   Composed of members Elliott Hunt (vocals and guitar); Tim Jackson (vocals); Ben Mac (bass and vocals); Chris Lillis (keyboard and vocals), and Mark Niewiemski (Drummer) Mom Said No has shared the stage with such touring acts as Young Empires, Lawrence, Walker Lukens and others.

Running a record label that brings Japanese rock music to the US is not easy. But if anyone can do it, it’s Robby Takac, the bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls. He knows the ins-and-outs of the music industry pretty well; his band has double and triple platinum records and a globetrotting tour schedule. We talked to Robby about his record label, Good Charamel, which produces albums for Japanese bands like Pinky Doodle Poodle, the MOLICE, and Osaka-based punk rock institution Shonen Knife. He reveals why it’s super difficult to get Japanese music acts to perform in the US (and why you should ABSOLUTELY go see a Japanese band if it’s playing in your area).

This album shows the pieces falling into place, with guitarist John Rzeznik taking the lead vocals on five of the fourteen tracks, up from two on the previous two albums. From track to track, you can hear the past and future of the band colliding, but does that make for a worthwhile overall listening experience? Tune in to find out.
