Podcasts about southwest music festival

Will, David and Jeremiah highlight some bands they hope to see at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas.

Ted Stryker welcomes the smart and talented frontwoman Lydia Night from The Regrettes to the Tuna on Toast Studio. Please keep in mind, this podcast was recorded/filmed way back early November!  The episode starts with Stryker telling Lydia how much he still appreciates the birthday call from Lydia back in 2019.   They discuss writing the new songs and how emotional it was because of how honest and authentic the lyrics are. Lydia talks about writing over zoom and going with the band to Joshua Tree to write and record!  The band ended up writing ten songs in ten days!  Lydia tells Stryker about writing and recording the song "Monday" as well as chatting about Olivia Rodrigo making an appearance in the video.  Lydia talks about how the current lineup of The Regrettes met and came to be.  The Regrettes are a four piece consisting of Lydia, Genessa Gariano, Brooke Dickson and Drew Thomsen.  Lydia tells Stryker about a band she was in at a very young age called Pretty Little Demons, they played the South by Southwest Music Festival.  This was a really good band that wrote songs and toured, Lydia was only 12 years old!  Lydia talks about opening for Peaches as well!  Stryker and Lydia discuss another band she was in called Dead Man's Bones that Ryan Gosling was a part of as well as Zach Shields.  Lydia talks about the new album Further Joy (which is not released as of today!) and what those two words mean to her. Lydia is open and honest about anxiety, depression and mental health. Lydia talks Coachella 2022 as well as touring! Make sure to catch The Regrettes on tour and support this amazing group. Thank you as always for watching and listening to another episode of Tuna on Toast with Stryker.

There is a lot of nonsense this week as Josh and Mike welcome their boss, Heidi Harris, as their 2nd guest. They talk about virtual meetings, living with a disabled pet, the recent Texas Snowstorm, the University of Texas, her decision not to pursue lawyer school, being a Congressional Aid while in High School, subletting her 1st apartment to a Scandinavian Death Metal Band during the South by Southwest Music Festival and talks about her experience hunting ghosts with Ty. 

It is a pleasure to welcome singer-songwriter Blake English to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson, and the late David Bowie heavily influenced the Athens, Georgia native turned Los Angeles transplant. Besides these legendary performing artists, Blake English’s sound is heavily influenced by the cinematic horror universe. Case in point, he had a spider crawl out of his body in the “Sad Girls Dance Party” music video. The music video also received a nomination for “Best Song” in the 2020 Berlin Music Video Awards.In addition to releasing music, Blake English has a passion for directing music videos for other recording artists. Leland, Miss Benny, and She and the Bandit have trusted Blake’s directorial vision to bring their vision to life. Blake also headlined for several events for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation and danced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Blake also performed at the South by Southwest Music Festival and was featured on School’d, a spin-off of the popular ABC comedy The Goldbergs. He also had the honor of sharing the stage with his mentor: Amanda Palmer. In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Blake English opened up about his debut EP: Spiders Make Great Poets, his decision to insert horror into the “Sad Girls Dance Party” music video, and revealed his dream collaborators.For more information about Blake English, visit his website! You can also connect with Blake on social media. Visit his Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube channels.

Wednesday-Saturday: Austin Love & Lightstream. Local music patron organization Black Fret, which has awarded $1.7 million in grants to Austin acts since 2014, has teamed up with historic venue Scholz Garten to present a five-day series featuring six hours of livestreamed performances each day. The events began on Tuesday and will wrap up on Saturday. Wednesday’s lineup will feature Gordy Quist & Evan Charles (4 p.m.), Tomar & the FCs (5 p.m.), Barbara Nesbitt (6 p.m.), Belle Sounds (7 p.m.), Sam Houston & Blk Odyssy (8 p.m.) and Alesia Lani (9 p.m.). Lineups for Thursday through Saturday are still TBA. blackfret.org. Donations: blackfret.org/make-a-donation — P.B. Wednesday: ComboPlate Booking Roster Party. Initially an event scheduled for Guero’s during SXSW, this annual benefit for Caritas of Austin’s food service programs is now set for livestreaming from several of the participating artists’ homes, including Matt the Electrician, Raina Rose, JM Stevens, Curtis McMurtry, Betty Soo, Nathan Hamilton and Beaver Nelson. Dozens of gift cards will be given to anyone who donates $50 or more. 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. facebook.com/comboplatebooking. Donations: southbysoupfest.org. — P.B. Wednesday: Ray Wylie Hubbard. Overshadowed by the world turning upside down late last week was the uniquely bizarre announcement that Wimberley’s own Ray Wylie Hubbard has signed to Nashville major Big Machine Records, home to Tim McGraw, Sugarland, Midland and others. Want proof? Tune into his livestream, which will air at 7 p.m. from, you guessed it, facebook.com/bigmachinerecords. — P.B. Wednesday: Little Mazarn. An Austin360 Artist of the Month in 2019, Little Mazarn is Lindsey Verrill, who plays banjo and sometimes upright bass, with Jeff Johnston, who plays the saw and sometimes bowed glockenspiel. The sound is as intriguing and enchanting as the instrumentation suggests, providing minimal but vital accompaniment for Verrill’s songs full of open space and natural wonder. 7 p.m. facebook.com/littlemazarn. Donations: See streaming site. — P.B. Friday: Emily Gimble. The official Texas State Musician for 2020, Emily followed in the footsteps of her legendary grandfather Johnny Gimble, the pioneering western swing fiddler who was named Texas State Musician in 2003. Gimble’s instrument of choice is piano, and she’s been a regular in local clubs for more than a decade, both on her own and during stints with Warren Hood and Asleep at the Wheel. In a social media post announcing the show, Gimble said she’s “planning on making this a regular thing until the storms clear.” 6 p.m. facebook.com/mlegimble. Donations: Venmo mlegimble; PayPal mlegimble@gmail.com — P.B. Friday-Thursday: Jackie Venson. No stranger to virtual jams, Austin’s guitar ace has been hosting online sessions for fans and followers in her JV Squad Facebook group for over a year. Now, with the coronavirus pandemic leaving much of the country homebound, she’s pledged to drop an internet jam session each night at 9:30 p.m. In addition to singing and playing guitar, she might hop on the piano or treat listeners to tunes from her new Jackie the Robot DJ set. “It’s all on the table now. I mean, last night’s show featured Jackie doing a rendition of ‘Keep On’ on the ukulele,” Venson’s manager (and fiance) Louie Carr said on Tuesday. facebook.com/jackievenson. Donations: paypal.me/jackievenson — D.S.S. Saturday: DJ Mel’s Living Room Dance Party. On March 16, when the South by Southwest Music Festival should have been kicking off but Austinites were hunkered down at home instead, DJ Mel took to the turntables to host the first edition of this virtual body-rock-a-thon. Thousands of viewers from around the country tuned in. Expecting to play for a handful of “Austin homies,” he was “shocked” by the response, he told the Statesman on Sunday afternoon while combing through the 17,000 comments on his Facebook post. He’s decided to make the Saturday night jam a regular affair. The party will kick off at 6 p.m. and run till 10, and to keep the (virtual) event family-friendly, he plans to use radio edits of all your favorite rap tunes. facebook.com/DJ-Mel-48330349120 — D.S.S. RELATED: Thousands tune in to DJ Mel’s virtual dance party Sunday: Jeff Plankenhorn. Not since Junior Brown’s 1990s breakthrough with his “guit-steel” has an Austin-based artist become so specifically associated with a custom-made instrument as Plankenhorn’s trusty “plank,” a Dobro-like contraption. His versatility as a musician has long made him in high demand with acts including Joe Ely and the Resentments, the latter outfit having welcomed him into their fold many years ago for Sunday night shows at the Saxon Pub. With those shows on hold for now amid the coronavirus pandemic, Plankenhorn has staked out some time this Sunday for a virtual show of his own. 8 p.m. facebook.com/events/194330805185995.

Will, Chris, Barrett, Jeremiah, Craig and David report again from the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. 

Will, Chris, Barrett, Jeremiah, Craig and David report from the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. 

In the first of a three part Podcast Summer Series we’ll be bringing you recent talks on topics we think are important and that you’ll find interesting. Our regular interviews will resume in September. This week, and only days after the launch, we have a talk from earlier this year from the South by Southwest Music Festival. The topic, NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The speakers are Project Scientist Nicola Fox and Lead Thermal Protection System Engineer Elizabeth Congdon, both from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. According to NASA the "historic Parker Solar Probe mission will revolutionize our understanding of the Sun, where changing conditions can propagate out into the solar system, affecting Earth and other worlds. Parker Solar Probe will travel through the Sun’s atmosphere, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions — and ultimately providing humanity with the closest-ever observations of a star." As you’ll hear, the story of this mission started 60 years ago. It’s a fascinating story and for the first time humanity will send a spacecraft that will touch the sun. Listen in… NASA Parker Solar Probe https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/parker-solar-probe

Rob Hochschild | February 19, 2013 The three members of Bear Language—alumnus vocalist and guitarist Luca Buccellati, student bassist Archi Denis, and student drummer Ian Barnett—met at Berklee, coming together as a small group that packs a wallop with a big sound, memorable songs, and a powerful live set. Describing its music as "explosive Beatles-driven rock" combined with the "funky dancable grooves of Two Door Cinema Club," Bear Language was listed in Deli magazine's Top 10 New England Artists of 2012. Bear Language will perform in Austin, Texas, in March at the South by Southwest Music Festival and plans to release its debut disc in April. Learn more at the band's website and at the website for Heavy Rotation Records, which features a new Bear Language track on its latest release, Dorm Sessions 8.

In this episode Mark & Kevin tell of their journey to Austin, TX for the South by Southwest Music Festival. They'll play tunes "discovered" on a popular music hosting service, and Mark will talk about the "discovery" of a vaccine in the mid 1980s.

This week we're featuring video performances of various artists doing the songs of Leonard Cohen. The video was recorded live at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. Of all the bands performing at "Happy At Last," the NPR/SXSW Tribute to Leonard Cohen, Tigercity was the band that surprised me the most. To start with, they tackled the song "Suzanne."

This week we're featuring video performances of various artists doing the songs of Leonard Cohen. The video was recorded live at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. Members of the London-based band The Hours decided to tackle a Leonard Cohen tune from his 1967 debut album, 'The Songs of Leonard Cohen'. "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye." There is cinematic simplicity in this version.

This week we're featuring video performances of various artists doing the songs of Leonard Cohen. The video was recorded live at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. At Waterloo Records, Laura Gibson performed a song from Cohen's 1988 record 'I'm Your Man'. The track, "Take This Waltz," features accordion, a saw, some percussion and Laura's poignant voice.

This week we're featuring video performances of various artists doing the songs of Leonard Cohen. The video was recorded live at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. David Garza chose one of the best-known songs from one of Leonard Cohen's lesser-known albums, "Dance Me To The End Of Love" from the 1985 album 'Various Positions.'

In February 2009, Leonard Cohen played his first U.S. concert in 15 years. Just a few weeks later, inspired by Leonard Cohen's resurgence, a group of artists at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX paid tribute to the legendary singer by performing some of his songs. We start with "Here It Is" from the album 'Ten New Songs,' performed by the French folk duo Herman Dune. Like all of Leonard Cohen's work, the poetry is potent.

Jim and Greg have returned from another pilgrimage to what many call the live music capital of the world: Austin, TX. Tune in to hear their reports of the annual South by Southwest Music Festival, including what bands to look out for in the year to come.
