Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Singing Legend Peggy Lee's Granddaughter, Holly Foster Wells About Harvey's guest: One of the most popular features of our show is our “Gone But Not Forgotten” series, celebrating the careers and legacies of the greatest stars who are no longer with us. Today's guest, Holly Foster Wells, is descended from show business royalty. She's the granddaughter of one of the most popular and beloved music artists of all time: the fabulous Peggy Lee, whose contributions to the world of popular music and jazz were monumental. Over her 7-decade career, she recorded over 1100 songs and released over 50 albums, with over a hundred top 100 hit singles, including “Somebody Else is Taking My Place”, “Why Don't You Do Right”, “Golden Earings”, “Riders in the Sky”, “Is That All There Is”, “Lover”, and of course, everybody's favourite, “Fever”, for which SHE came up with that distinctive arrangement, AND she wrote new lyrics. As a matter of fact, Peggy Lee was an extraordinary songwriter, who wrote or co-wrote over 270 songs, including her hits “Little Fool”, “What More Can a Woman Do”, “I Don't Know Enough About You”, “It's a Good Day”, and “Manana”. For the Disney movie “Lady and the Tramp”, she co-wrote ALL of the original songs, and she supplied the singing and speaking voices of 4 characters. She also wrote songs for many other movies, including “Anatomy of a Murder”, “The Jazz Singer”, “The Rawhide Years”, “Johnny Guitar”, “Tom Thumb”, “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”, “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming”, “Walk, Don't Run”, and many more. She appeared in 10 movies including “Stage Door Canteen”, “The Powers Girl”, “Jazz Ball”, “Mr. Music”, “The Jazz Singer”, and my personal favourite, “Pete Kelly's Blues”, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and the Audience Award for Most Promising Female Personality of 1955. Ms Lee received 13 Grammy Award nominations including 1 win, plus a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. She was the first female recipient of 2 awards from the Songwriters Guild of America: the Aggie Award, for her composing skills, and the President's Award, for her support of young, emerging songwriters. In 1990 she won the ASCAP Pied Piper Award, and 2 years later she was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. She received 2 honorary doctorates, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2020 the ASCAP Foundation established the Annual Peggy Lee Songwriter Award. Peggy Lee was a creative powerhouse, who directed her life and career on her own terms. But for her millions of fans, it's all about her quietly captivating voice, that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.

Don's rant at the news followed by.... I have been watching a programme called "when showbiz good horribly wrong" which demonstrated how easy it is to NOT make money........to actually make money in the music business you have to think things out or you will get ripped off by managers and publishers who have no musical talent.....the way I did it was to look for the gaps in the market....in the 60s all the groups were playing rock and roll and pop music....only 7 or 8 piece dance bands were playing strict tempo....so in the mid 60s my band perfected quicksteps,slow foxes, waltzes etc and as we could also play pop and rock we covered all bases and when the group scene ground to a halt in the 70s we played on as a function band....and during the 70s I started writing songs and sending them out top publishers with little success but it was when I sent one to the Opportunity Knocks Songwriters Contest and appeared on the show that I knew I was on the right track so I set up my own record and publishing company and released my own stuff which took off....as the only opinion that mattered about my songs was mine...... I built a small recording studio in my attic and created a demo service (another gap in the market) whereby songwriters would send me their rough songs and I would put them into a state which they could present to publishers etc,,,,I ended up doing 200 of these demos which paid for my studio.....I joined the Songwriters Guild and advertised in their magazine which is where I got all my customers....and again there was very little competition.......to me it has always been business...I was not remotely interested in feeding my ego or being "famous" .....fame can cost as history has proved...........the demo service was fascinating and I received some very strange stuff from people singing in the bath to songs which had lyrics which neither scanned or rhymed.....however one of my demos was sent by the composer, to the International Religious Song Festival in Rome....I was asked to go and sing the song but was too busy at the time so I sent my good pal Paul Damian to go and sing it which he did and met the Pope....and another lady sent me her song about Italy...which I put together and told her to send it to the Italian Tourist Board and take whatever they offered...the Board liked the song and offered her £450.....she was also a member of The Songwriters Guild and asked me if she should ask their advice...I told her to just take the money but she contacts The Guild who go over the top with contracts etc and she got nothing....she should have listened to Don. What were the worst two winters in the 60s?.....Mike and Bernie........which brings me to my "One of the worst records ever" spot......again this is an example of comedians....if you could call them that....sticking to what they do best and leaving making records to singers.....this one is called "I Like It" and must NOT be confused with Gerry Marsden's classic number one hit in the 60s.......it is basically an instrumental with short breaks where the title was shouted out....they are the ONLY lyrics.....now I don't know if Mike Winters was actually playing his clarinet in the band ( who are very good)......but Bernie definitely should have been forcibly removed from the recording studio......so here it is.....Mike and Bernie Winters "singing" "I Like It"

“Songwriters create the meaning in people's lives. When you're married, you have a song. When you fall in love, you have a song. At a funeral, they play a song. When people go off to war, they're singing a war ballad. Songs create the meaningful moments in people's lives. People bookmark the moment they met and kissed for the first time with a song. Songs are the bookmarks of your life. Your life is not going to have those meaningful moments cemented into your heart and soul without those songs. That's a critically important job. That's worth paying for.”Rick Carnes is the President of the Songwriters Guild of America and a songwriter himself, with credits on 40 platinum albums.

“Songwriters create the meaning in people's lives. When you're married, you have a song. When you fall in love, you have a song. At a funeral, they play a song. When people go off to war, they're singing a war ballad. Songs create the meaningful moments in people's lives. People bookmark the moment they met and kissed for the first time with a song. Songs are the bookmarks of your life. Your life is not going to have those meaningful moments cemented into your heart and soul without those songs. That's a critically important job. That's worth paying for.”Rick Carnes is the President of the Songwriters Guild of America and a songwriter himself, with credits on 40 platinum albums.

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ Ellen Tackenkamp begon haar muzikale carrière in de straten van Dublin, waar ze met lievelingsnummers van haar grote helden, zoals Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, en Bob Dylan, de regenachtige straten van Temple Bar van een zonnestraaltje voorzag. Terug in Nederland studeerde ze jazz aan het conservatorium van Amsterdam, waar ze kennis maakte met het werk van de grote songwriters uit The Great American Songbook. Haar grote passie voor de samensmelting van tekst en muziek spoorde haar aan om de Engelstalige poëzie onder de loep te nemen, en ze studeerde vervolgens Engelse Taal en Cultuur aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Goed beslagen ten ijs zocht ze in 2016 de rust en natuur op van haar geboortestreek, de Achterhoek, dit keer met genoeg lef om zelf de pen ter hand te nemen. Haar composities resulteerden in het uitbrengen van haar solo-debuut album “Letters” in het voorjaar van 2019. Ellen's songs zijn persoonlijk en ontwapenend, en daardoor universeel. Ze neemt je mee op een reis door het menselijk bestaan, en doet dit met humor en een afwisselend programma, waarin ze ook bekende en minder bekende songs van haar collega's en helden ten gehore brengt. Ellen maakt verder deel uit van de succesvolle pop/folk formatie Woolf, en schrijft momenteel muziek voor het gedichtenproject “TIME,” dat in 2020 opgevoerd & opgenomen zal worden i.s.m. het duo De Thuiskomst (accordeon & viool) Met haar Letters tour reist ze momenteel de wereld over.

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ Eyal: Eyal is een verhalenverteller die het hele alternatieve folk-, rock- en indie oeuvre bespeelt in eigenwijze, melodieuze, verhalende liedjes. Radiator King: Somewhere between punk and blues – a porch and an alley – lies Radiator King, the performing/recording name of Boston native and Brooklyn based, Adam Silvestri. Established in 2011, Radiator King’s music shows influences from both Dylan and Strummer with a sound described by Boston blog Allston Pudding as something akin to what “Tom Waits locked in a room for a month with nothing but a copy of Springsteen’s Nebraska” might produce. Whether alone with a guitar or backed by a band, Radiator King embodies the raw energy of punk, the grit and intricacy of delta blues, and the lyrical potency of folk in “songs that are the sonic equivalent to an old whiskey bar at the end of a dirt road.” In early 2019, Radiator King, the musician behind 2017’s A Hollow Triumph After All released his newest project — the Roll the Dice EP, via SoundEvolution records. Imbued with the pugilistic grit and deft lyrical instincts that have long defined the songwriting of Adam Silvestri, Roll the Dice’s lead track “Raylene” serves dually as a thematic continuance of steps taken and a turning point in Silvestri’s development and direction as songsmith.

With more volume, comes more space to make heartfelt moments rattle through your chest." Whether Ken plays alone or with his full band, Ken Stead makes every room feel like home. With his generous, good humour and and empathy with the audience, his accomplishments are as true and honest as his songs.

We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ At first, when you listen to Rachman’s music you’ll hear traces of folk, blues and soul. But when you listen more closely more aspects of the music reveal itself. The clear melodies, the intricate fingerpicking and the lyrics that build scenes in which you can wander endlessly. Rachman’s craft is all about the song, taking cues from heroes like: Stevie wonder, Bill Withers, The Fleet foxes and John Mayer. Small songs with big intent, songs that celebrate life.

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ Lucette van den Berg is één van de toonaangevende stemmen van de nieuwe generatie jiddische zangeressen. Ze heeft opgetreden in theaters, concertzalen en festivals in Europa en Noord-Amerika. Al op jonge leeftijd wist ze, dat muziek haar leven zou worden. Al op 18 jarige leeftijd startte zij met haar studie klassiek zang aan het conservatorium van Zwolle en later Amsterdam, won een tweede plaats bij het Euregio Vocalisten Concours en legde zich toe op liedrecitals en oratorium, terwijl zij in haar studeerkamer, voor haar eigen plezier, jiddische liedjes begon te zingen. Misschien één van de meest belangrijke gebeurtenissen in het muzikale leven van Lucette is de ontmoeting en vriendschap met de bekende Jiddische componiste/schrijfster Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, die haar bewust maakte van haar joodse ‘roots’. Van den Berg verbleef langere tijd bij Beyle in New York en ontving nog niet eerder gepubliceerde liederen van haar. Lucette arrangeerde ze en bracht ze uit op de CD ‘Friling’ (hiervoor kreeg ze een derde prijs JPF Song Award 2009, USA). De keuze voor het Jiddisch lied was definitief gemaakt. Lucette ontwikkelde zich op geheel eigen wijze in het Jiddische repertoire. Zoekend naar haar stem, haar kracht, haar achtergrond en haar eigen invulling van het Jiddische lied. Zo ontwikkelde ze een geheel eigen stijl, die het midden houdt tussen kleinkunst en 'art-song', met teksten die haar aanspreken. In de loop van de tijd hebben al meerdere componisten, als Alan Bern (Brave Old World), Mikhoel Felsenbaum nieuw Jiddisch repertoire geschreven. Zij wil de Jiddische muziek niet alleen laten horen in al haar pracht, maar ook verder ontwikkelen. Daarom is zij initiator en artistiek directeur van het Yiddish Waves Festival, dat in 2008 voor het eerst plaatsvond. Lucette is een opvallende performer, met een uitzonderlijke warme en expressieve stem met geheel eigen geluid. Haar unieke repertoire omvat nieuw materiaal dat door componisten als o.a. Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, Alan Bern (Brave Old World) en dichter/componist Mikhoel Felsenbaum, maar ook Jiddische composities van haar eigen hand.

Imora Mariël (28) uit Enschede lanceert op zondag 24 maart van 14.30 tot 17.00 uur haar eerste EP in Metropool Enschede. De singer-songwriter heeft een EP met zes nummers gemaakt. De EP heet ‘A Loving Heart met haar eerste single ‘Morning in May’. De Enschedese zingt en schrijft al tien jaar, maar bracht niet eerder een EP uit. Ze schrijft Engelstalige popliedjes die makkelijk in het gehoor liggen. ‘Ik val onder de rustigere singer-songwriters, met wat country-invloed. Ik begeleid mezelf op gitaar. Inspiratie haal ik vooral uit mijn liefdesleven en het dagelijkse leven. Zo gaat ‘Noah’ over een jongetje dat voor mij in de rij op het vliegveld in Londen stond’, aldus Imora Mariël. De zangeres hoopt met dit album door te breken. ‘Ik krijg goede reacties op de nieuwe nummers. Voor de komende zomer staan er al meer optredens dan voorheen gepland. Ik heb heel veel zin in 24 maart en hoop op een volle zaal.’ Voor meer info kijk op de Facebookpagina van Imora Mariël Music en op haar instagrampagina (imoramariel).

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. Sinds twee jaar schrijft Frank Schagen onder de naam Klausing Duitstalige liederen. De muziek van Klausing is eigenzinnig. Ze is een smeltkroes van een muzikale reis door onder andere flamenco, klassiek, jazz en wereldmuziek. De teksten zijn direkt en poetisch. Enkele omschrijvingen van luisteraars zijn: “Schubert goes jazz”, “helemaal Zen” “de muziek is soms beklemmend, geaccentueerd door zorgvuldig gekozen dissonanten” en “klassieke avantgarde Rammstein”. Als gitarist heeft Frank een opleiding genoten aan het Fontys conservatorium te Tilburg. Binnen het duo Emunah schrijft en concerteert hij al ruim 10 jaar met eigen instrumentale muziek. Nu met Klausing geniet Frank van de scheppingsruimte, waarin klank- en taalexpressie hand in hand gaan. Naast het maken van muziek geeft Klausing in het ritme van de week yogalessen, gitaarlessen en improvisatiesessies. Sinds twee jaar geeft hij ook Duits in het speciaal voortgezet onderwijs. Vaak reiken de ervaringen in deze werkvelden Frank kiemen aan voor een volgend Klausing-lied. Klausing heeft een eigen stijl ontwikkeld, waarin tekst en muziek samen op gaan. De liederen ontspruiten uit een kiem en vol groeien in de wisselwerking tussen vol overgave klinken en bezinnend tekst schrijven. De muziek vindt zijn voeding in de flamenco, jazz en klassieke muziek. In zijn teksten klinkt een poëtische schrijfstijl. Een veelvoud van omschrijvingen als "Schubert goes jazz", "klassieke avantgarde Rammstein", "Herman Veen", "Bertold Brecht" geven wel weer dat de luisteraar zijn oor in deze muziek kan leggen. De liederen van Klausing zijn zowel teder als indringend. Zijn gitaarspel verrast door onverwachte ritmische wendingen en doorvoelde harmonieën. Opgeleid aan het fontys conservatorium in Tilburg heeft hij zich zowel in de tradities van de klassieke muziek als ook in de bewegingsvrijheden van de jazz kunnen verdiepen. Ook heeft hij zich enkele jaren verdiept in de flamenco. Het is de doorleefde reis door de verschillende, die de muziek van Klausing een heel eigen karakter geven.

Let’s start with a name-drop: over the past 20 years, Michael Dean Damron has played and toured with some of the greatest American songwriters in history: Alejandro Escovedo, Lucero, Rocky Votolato, Chad Price, Mike Watt, Eddie Spaghetti, Reverend Horton Heat, Drive by Truckers, David Allen Coe, Jerry Joseph, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Neko Case... Damron is tired, hopeful, and excited to play for new folks in a different part of the world. Oh, and he HATES to fly. Just another fear to overcome. On his upcoming tour of Belgium and Netherlands, Damron will be backed by the best there is, bassist Allen Hunter of Eels fame and guitarist/producer Dan Eccles of Richmond Fontaine and Fernando. A subtly powerful trio to make you shout, cry, and remember what it means to be alive.

Bubblegum Slut/ UK: « A paradoxical mix of a Yorkshire man’s Northern bluntness that tells it like it is and a “continental poetic tongue which educates and stirs…! » - Stylusmag/ Canada: « Berry has a keen intellect, a disdain for those buffered from reality, and an internalized anger that fuels the vitriol in every adjective. It is real life undecorated, and smoulders like the everyday pressures. This is fucking brilliant. Clean glass please, and leave the bottle! » With the aid of an acoustic guitar or piano he sits centre-stage and recounts with his powerful seducing voice the tales of his life on the back streets of Leeds/England, his touring years through to his crippling road accident in Brighton/ England. In the 80s he was the guitarist & founding member to the successful Rock/Goth band, The Rose of Avalanche, which produced many great albums and singles. Eventually enough was enough and he broke up the band in the 90s and embarked on a solo career under his own name. He played in every possible venue in the UK and Europe. 3 solo albums later (PJB, Ginnel and Nations) which saw him support giants of the songwriting genre such as Frank Black, Vic Chestnutt, Kevin Coyne, David Bowie, Howe Gelb, Townes Van Zandt, he is now back. After rehabilitating from his accident, he has a new album ‘Spitfire Jukebox 1’. It’s mainly one instrument and voice that give a beautiful raw insight to the human soul. It reveals a personal account of the last few years. Touches on a cathartic necessity to get through the nightmare of his road accident to the celebration of life itself. Recorded in Berlin in the vast hall of the famous UFO-Studios, an old brewery which doubled-up as a bunker in the second world war. «when I arrived at the studio in Berlin, there was this colossal old hall that just had ‘something’ that moved me. So, I said to the man, get me a chair, put it in the middle of the hall and record me bleeding….» «the whole point of this album was to be in control and do everything myself - for good or bad - no rules and no bull shit! Just me and my demons>>

A Montréal-born Trinidadian-Canadian, Zaynab comes to the music scene with a wealth of cultural and musical diversity. Her recent Live EP (2018), is the debut to her career as a fronting singer-songwriter where she draws musical and rhythmic inspiration from her Caribbean roots and merges with folk, her heart and soul. Her voice is sweet, unaffected and naturally blended, and carries a strong sense of rhythm. Zaynab grew up in a large family of musicians, specializing on Steelpan, and got an early start to the life of an artist. Being the youngest of the lot of six children, the formula was already set by the time she was six. Zaynab was performing throughout Eastern Canada with her family, the "Von-Trapps of Steelpan", and gaining invaluable life lessons. Now, in addition to steelpan, Zaynab has grown into a sensitive, dynamic and well-rounded musician and is an equally talented percussionist, vocalist, songwriter and drummer, holding a drum-major degree from Humber College. Over the years, Zaynab has had the opportunity to perform with a variety of local and international artists including Alysha Brilla, Jason Wilson, Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick and Pee Wee Ellis, and performing at notable festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (Australia), Hillside Festival (Canada) and Celtic Connections (Scotland). On her own front, Zaynab took her Live EP tour on the road to Western Canada in September 2018 and over to Eastern Canada with Arlene Paculan in November 2018, performing in both house concerts and local live music venues. As for 2019, Zaynab is working towards releasing a series of singles, a new EP and tour dates, so far, in both Canada and USA. When she isn’t performing, Zaynab runs music workshops at various schools within the multiple school boards in Ontario. Her workshops are delivered using steelpan, percussion or band instruments with the goal being more than learning repertoire. Her workshops run in schools with higher numbers of newcomers to Canada, for groups with special learning abilities, as part of health and wellness conferences and for overall team building and strengthening of non-verbal and nonviolent communication. She recently attended a Musicians Without Borders Training of Workshop Leaders program, in Ede, to help enhance her workshop leading abilities. In a realistic world, Zaynab would be able to integrate touring as a performer and running music-based workshops along the way.
With a commanding voice and remarkable melodic sensibilities, Laura Reznek makes music that is at once haunting and uplifting. Her songs offer an intimate look into the surreal world formed of memories by the restless mind, often needing little more than the dexterous flow of fingers across a piano to transform the raw material of a single human life into an expression of consciousness’ inherent uncertainty. Not conforming to the trappings of any single genre, Laura’s music is well aware of the vast Western canon upon whose shoulders it stands; listen closely and you will hear subtle homages to everything from mid-century cool jazz, blues, and gospel to modern folk and experimental pop. With such respect for tradition embedded in the music itself, Laura is able to flout modern musical norms in the framing of her live performances: you are more likely to find her playing in a bookshop, bell tower, or canal boat and see her sharing the stage with poets and chamber quartets. Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide.
