Podcast appearances and mentions of spencer mackenzie

On this week's Talk Music podcast, check out my fun chat with Renan Yildizdogan. He's the founder and owner of the super cool label GYPSY SOUL RECORDS, a full-service artist collective, distributed by Fontana North. Considered by many to be one of the most successful INDIE labels around, his artists are constantly on tour not only in Canada but in the US and Europe as well, so this is MUST listen for those artists wanting to know how to break out of Canada. One of the acts on his roster is SAMANTHA MARTIN & DELTA SUGAR. Samantha has been nominated twice for a JUNO award and also nominated for BEST INTERNATIONAL ARTIST at the Blues awards in the UK. Other artists on the roster include The COMMONERS (who's track “Find a better Way” is currently being featured by the TORONTO BLUE JAYS), BYWATER CALL, SPENCER MACKENZIE and MARCUS TRUMMER and the Honeyrunners. Years ago, I produced an album for the band STONE RIVER of which Renan was the lead singer, so we begin our chat about some of the fun times we had recording in an old church. Renan also did this entire interview in his car as he just became a DAD, so he was looking for somewhere a bit more quiet lol. The feature music clip before the start of the interview is “Loving you is easy” by Samantha Martin and Delta Sugar.  The Talk Music Podcast features host Tom Treumuth, a Multi-Platinum music producer/manager/entrepreneur. The focus is on both Canadian and Global music commentary. Over his 40 year music career, Tom Treumuth has worked across all aspects of the music industry, including as a talent scout for RCA New York and producing over 60 albums, with 8 achieving Gold and Platinum status (Honeymoon Suite, Helix, Big Sugar). His Hypnotic label released over 100 albums across all genres via A&M/Universal including artists such as Big Sugar, Anvil, Voivod, Figgy Duff, the Look People, Grimskunk, Chris Spedding and many others.  Tom also owned and ran a recording studio, was a booking agent and was signed as a songwriter to RCA Publishing in New York. Tom loved artist management and during his career managed Honeymoon Suite, Lee Aaron, Platinum US rock group Steelheart and Hamilton born Kazzer ( Pedal to the Metal) who Tom signed to Columbia Records in New York. Tom also managed and Co produced rock act Gypsy Rose whom he signed to RCA in New York where he worked closely with Gene Simmons. More recently, Tom was Co-Managing Director of indie label Frostbyte (Universal) where he was involved in signing the Headstones and Matt Good. Tom also co-founded Latitude 44, a tech conference in Toronto and was Artistic Director for Estonian Music Week. Tom's career started as a keyboard musician in True Myth, who recorded the world's 1st digital rock album on Warner Music. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

BRIGITTE PURDY Segment Begins At The 51:19 Mark I’ve been waiting for this new music from Brigitte to be able to bring her on the show and let her tell us her story.  The album is entitled Still I Rise and the interview was as good as I had hoped.  Brigitte and I traced her journey and filled in some blanks!

Qu'il soit triste ou joyeux, lent ou rapide, à la guitare ou à l'harmonica, le blues est (et restera) la meilleure musique au monde !

We begin with a visit from Couch Kids Stolen Hearts to share their new single with us.  Pam Taylor & Robert Johnson, Jr. will talk about the new single and what is to come. Spencer Mackenzie has been performing in the Southern Ontario region for a number of years.  In 2013 he came to Memphis for the IBC Youth Showcase.  He has released his debut album, Infected By The Blues, and Spencer and I will talk about the music and where he is headed.  OH, did I mention, Spencer is ONLY 16! Mark May has released his 6th album entitled Blues Heaven.  It is the guitarists’ debut on the Conner Ray Music label.  After spending time with Dickey Betts & Great Southern, May is out sharing his unique guitar skills with audiences from coast to coast.  Mark and I will talk about his career and the new music. Clint Morgan released his debut in 2008.  His sophomore effort, Scofflaw, was released on June 17th and Clint will come sit on The Couch and talk about his career, how the Blues found him, his mentoring at the Pinetop Perkins Foundation Workshops and, of course, the new album and music. The guys from Little Boys Blue have a new album out entitled Tennissippi.  Released back in May on Vizztone, I will finally have a chance to sit with JD and talk about the new music from this fine band.
