When you think about the Columbia Gorge, a multimedia rock opera might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But that’s exactly the vehicle producer Sarah Fox chose to showcase the unique history, personal stories and ecology of the Gorge.  “The Watershed Rock Opera” unfolds in five movements that symbolize the cycle of the watershed itself. The journey starts in the clouds, descends into the Cascades and moves through a pear orchard before it ends in a kind of homecoming at the mighty river that connects the people and communities who call the Gorge home. (There’s also a comedic detour and duet prompted by a clogged toilet).   Fox recorded interviews with five storytellers who provided the narration in the rock opera and inspired its musical score, which 20 local musicians and performers will bring to life this Friday for a series of sold-out shows at the Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River. Fox joins us for more details, along with Lesley Tamura, a fourth-generation pear orchardist in Hood River, composer and arranger Eric Kaneda and music director and percussionist Leila Kaneda.  

Things get real juicy in this episode as we dive into the cult classic Repo! The Genetic Opera—and surprise, surprise… one of us forgot how much they hate it.

Il cantautore Federico Ghiani alias Fedeeilcorvo racconta la sua arte: dalla scrittura creativa ai palchi musicali e teatrali, passando per il Bastione A Cagliari, Federico Ghiani, conosciuto artisticamente come Fedeeilcorvo, emerge come una figura poliedrica nel panorama culturale locale. La sua formazione musicale inizia presso il Centro Europeo di Toscolano, la scuola fondata da Mogol, dove approfondisce le tecniche di scrittura creativa e composizione. Questo percorso formativo gli permette di affinare le sue abilità come cantautore, integrando elementi di hip-hop e cantautorato nelle sue opere. Parallelamente, Federico si dedica all'insegnamento della scrittura creativa, condividendo le sue conoscenze con aspiranti artisti e contribuendo alla crescita culturale della comunità. Le battle di freestyle da lui co-organizzate, insieme a Furo, Brato, Tiaz ed Ekri al Bastione di Saint Remy, diventano appuntamenti fissi per gli appassionati di musica dal vivo, dove il pubblico può apprezzare le sue performance di freestyle e le sue composizioni originali... e partecipare. Perché, come tiene a sottolineare, vuole ricreare a Cagliari un ambiente artistico variegato, che può essere tale solo grazie al contributo di tutti. L'esperienza teatrale con Ferai Teatro e l'influenza dell'hip-hop nella carriera di Ghiani Oltre alla musica, Fedeeilcorvo si avvicina al teatro collaborando con Ferai Teatro a Cagliari, partecipando alla classe Rockopera. Questa esperienza teatrale arricchisce la sua espressività artistica, permettendogli di sperimentare nuove forme di narrazione e di performance. La fusione tra teatro e musica diventa una caratteristica distintiva del suo stile, rendendo le sue esibizioni uniche e coinvolgenti. L'influenza dell'hip-hop è evidente nelle sue opere, dove le tematiche sociali e personali si intrecciano con ritmi e sonorità tipiche del genere. Il suo album "La Classe Operaia Non Va in Paradiso", pubblicato per Atlantide Dischi, ne è un esempio emblematico, unendo il suono classico dell'hip-hop all'influenza del cantautorato. Per approfondire il percorso artistico di Fedeeilcorvo e scoprire le sue ultime produzioni musicali, è possibile visitare la sua pagina su Apple Music.

PEI author Steven Mayoff's newest book, The Island Gospel According to Samson Grief (Radiant Press, 2023) masterfully disrupts the idyllic picture often painted of Prince Edward Island. This is a darkly funny and thrilling story of spiritual dissonance and cultural satire in Canada's most wholesome province. Samson Grief, a reclusive painter from Prince Edward Island, is confronted by three red-haired figments of his imagination in the form of Judas Iscariot, Fagin, and Shylock. They claim to be messengers of “The Supreme One”, a genderless deity who has decreed PEI to be the new Promised Land, who also wants Samson to build the Island's first synagogue. Scared, confused, and seriously doubting his sanity, Samson eventually, though grudgingly, accepts the challenge amid increasingly bizarre obstacles in a new dystopian world. About Steven Mayoff: Steven Mayoff (he/him) was born in Montreal and moved to Prince Edward Island in 2001. His books include the story collection Fatted Calf Blues (Turnstone Press, 2009), the novel Our Lady of Steerage (Bunim & Bannigan, 2015), the poetry chapbook Leonard's Flat (Grey Borders Books, 2018), the poetry collection Swinging Between Water and Stone (Guernica Editions, 2019) and the novel The Island Gospel According to Samson Grief (Radiant Press, 2023). As a lyricist, he has collaborated with composer Ted Dykstra on Dion a Rock Opera, which will receive its world premiere at the Coal Mine Theatre in Toronto in February 2024.

Pearl Jam's Mike McCready stopped by The Rock HQ while in New Zealand, to give his first radio interview in 22 years.

James shared his inspiring journey, starting from his childhood experience with a red helicopter that taught him the value of kindness and generosity. He discussed his decision to teach high school and later attend Harvard Law School to become a public defender. However, he ultimately pursued a career in private equity. James emphasized the importance of leading with kindness and compassion in both personal and professional life. He highlighted the need to focus on intrinsic motivation rather than external validation and discussed the complexities of human behavior and societal systems.

Simon Kirke of Bad Company Live on Game Changers With Vicki I was Live with Simon Kirke, co-founder of Free and Bad Company, two of the greatest rock bands in history. A huge lifelong fan, it was a thrill to sit down and hear how it all went down, including how Snuffy, a guitar player kinda close to my heart, ended up playing on Free's Heartbreaker. We heard about Simon's very humble beginnings with neither running water nor electricity, talk about building character, his transistor radio, listening to big bands, pre-Beatles, making his own drumsticks, and finding his way back to London from the countryside with a time limit to make it and joining Paul Kossoff's Black Cat Bones just under the wire. How they formed Free, All Right Now, the song that made them, and perhaps, destroyed them. The unrelenting touring, and then Kosoff's unrelenting drugs. How the band evolved before imploding. Ultimately, in part, morphing into Bad Company, one of the greatest straight-up rock bands of all time with Simon co-writing its anthem. He's the only member of the band to be in every lineup since its inception, including the band's last tour. We heard about them all. Thrilling! I so love Simon's solo effort, All Because of You, written for Maria, his wife of 6 years. Reminiscent of Roger Daltry for me, it's in heavy rotation in my kitchen. He's guested on recordings by Wilson Pickett, Jim Capaldi, and Ron Wood, and has toured with Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band. The best with the best. We heard great stories about Chuck, Ringo, Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Dave Mason, and of course, Kossoff and Rodgers. We talked at length about addiction––the drinking, the drugs, the debauchery, some great stories there, and recovery, tried more than once, and how it was too long ago for Kossoff. But, has gratefully stuck for Simon, who is doing much to give back. Simon works with Road Recovery, aiding teens to get and hopefully stay sober, is on the board of a Rehab facility, Right Turn, and is in the process of writing a Rock Opera about recovery with its CEO. Simon fears with Paul Rodgers' health issues, this is the end of Bad Company after 50 years. He's scored a few films and looks forward to a lot more of that in his future, mirroring another musician turned composer we know who's fared pretty well. They say, be careful meeting your heroes. No worries here. Simon Kirke exceeded all my very high (but sober) hopes, as a person and a rock star. What fun! Can't Get Enough!

We talk to our friends Matthew and Elaine Sweetapple, the Creators of Lost on Infinity by Rockford's Rock Opera, and we play the first episode of their story which now features in their Stories, Science and Secrets Podcast. The musical story of a dog called Rockford who travels to an island of extinct animals has been on our website for many years and is very popular.  The new podcast reveals the science secrets behind the story.

This is a story about an old friend of ours. His name is Birdy. He's a crow who has lived for hundreds of years and known all sorts of important people, including kings and queens. In this story Birdy tells Jake that dinosaurs are not necessarily extinct. Birds, for example, are closely related to dinosaurs, and it's just possible that he and his sister might meet one or two.... Also, check out Kids Stories, Science and Secrets by Rockford's Rock Opera.

The Osmonds reached what was arguably the peak of their fame in 1973. That year, the band made what many considered an interesting decision and released “The Plan,” a landmark album that explored the eternal nature of God's plan and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation. Alan Osmond almost always sang backup vocals but, as the oldest of the Osmond brothers, was in many ways the leader of the brothers' group and the writer of many of the Osmonds' songs. In this episode, Alan shares the inspiration behind “The Plan” as we celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the album.  “We're not ashamed of the gospel and that's why I just can't be quiet about it.”  Show Notes 1:46- Beginnings8:10- Sharing the Gospel Through Music14:31- A Rock Opera 28:06- Osmondmania34:59- Support of the Church41:48- Multiple Sclerosis47:51- Elvis and the Queen49:57- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Links & References: Listen to “The Plan” album in fullThe Plan Promo videoLDS Living stories about The OsmondsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
