The Station Inn located in Cresson, Pennsylvania was built in 1866, situated just ten miles west of the famous Horseshoe Curve, it was originally built as a hotel for weary travelers heading east or west on the Pennsy Railroad. Over the last hundred and fifty years it's gone through many changes including the early 90's when it was purchased by Tom Davis and turned into the place railfans of all kinds from across the globe would come to stay. Fast forward to present day, after Tom passed away in 2021 it was purchased by Alex Lang and his wife Leah who over the years had built a deep friendship with innkeeper and decided they wanted to keep the tradition and memory of Tom alive. It's been an adventure for the couple who reside an hour and a half away but as you listen to this podcast, you'll quickly realize their passion for the Station Inn is something we can all be truly thankful for. Enjoy!!

This week I talked to Sterling Drake, a ranch hand in Montana and country artist. Sterling is 3 years into his solo music career, and is off to a strong start. He has several EP's and singles currently streaming, all with a very traditional sound to them. He will be releasing a live EP, recorded at The Station Inn in Nashville, on November 10th. Sterling and I discuss western land conservation, grizzly bear encounters in Montana, and talk about various aspects of country music. Huge thanks to Sterling for coming onto the show, and to all of you for listening!Shady Deal Auto Sales- www.shadydealautosales.com Powell River Sessions-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE1hQUOVResRSMDpguQPSzw Sterling Drake Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/sterlingxdrake/Dreamy Draw Festival- https://dreamydrawfest.com Intro/Outro Song- “Honky Tonk Heroes” by Waylon JenningsHTH Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/honky.tonk.heroes/HTH Merch- https://honkytonkheroespod.com/

Let's head back down to the Station Inn on the Norfolk Southern mainline at Cresson, Pennsylvania for some words of wisdom from “Uncle” Dave and “the Wiz.” In part two of the “Chronicles” Rich Wisneski gives us some detailed background about the grades heading east and west as the tracks cross the summit near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. We find out more about a seventeen-year-old Dave that's made the same trek every year for the last three decades and how he managed to keep going. Much has changed at the Station Inn over the last couple of years as Alex Lang along with his lovely wife have purchased this historic property, Alex describes some of the challenges they've faced running the Inn while making some major improvements. Several trains pass while conducting interviews on the porch which just adds to the excitement of sitting just a few feet away from a busy mainline. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

Episode 257: When you live in Nashville and chase the essence of country music, you find it's very much alive at residency shows like New Monday at the Station Inn. That's where master musicians Val Storey, Larry Cordle and Carl Jackson play a range of original and classic songs that connect country to bluegrass. It's magic, especially because of Val Storey's remarkable voice. She's the best country singer most people have never heard of. And after decades of singing for and with others, she has an album of her own, produced by star bluegrass songwriter Larry Cordle. Val and Larry sit down together to reflect on a long friendship and why some voices need an extra push. 

Time has passed, a year has gone by, and another visit to the Station Inn in Cresson, Pennsylvania has produced more great interviews with some very interesting characters. Situated beside the Norfolk Southern's main line from Altoona to Johnstown, Pennsylvania fighting over some of the steepest mainline grades east of the Mississippi. It's a busy helper district with high-volume traffic. In part, one of the Cresson Chronicles, we interviewed a delightful fellow known as John Zelehoski with a plethora of unfinished stories. We talked to Doug Watts, a former Conrail employee, lifelong railroader and finally someone that's becoming a fan favorite with his cheerful personality, Ralph Heiss, or we like to refer to him as Ralphie Boy. This is a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy.

Episode Notes My guest this week on the podcast if Forrest O'Connor. Nashville-born singer-songwriter, guitarist, and mandolinist Forrest O'Connor earned national recognition as one of the lead vocalists and instrumentalists in the O'Connor Band, a group he co-founded with his wife, Kate, and his father, seven-time CMA Award-winning violinist Mark O'Connor. Forrest wrote several songs, including the title track, for the O'Connor Band's debut album Coming Home, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and won a Grammy Award in 2017. Most recently, he arranged and contributed a track to the John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project Vol. 1 tribute album, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2021. Prior to the O'Connor Band, Forrest toured nationally as a duo with Kate and frequently performed as a sideman at The Station Inn in Nashville. In 2014, he won the Tennessee State Mandolin Championship. He is a graduate of Harvard University.

Buddy got his start playing with country superstar Jerry Reed's band. He has played at a Billy Graham crusade before 250,000 people in Central Park, NY, and ten years later played the “William Tell Overture” on harmonica at Carnegie Hall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoauBe465qQ). Buddy feels equally at home playing with Jeff Taylor at Station Inn or reading a book by Reinhold Niebuhr in the back of a tour bus. And as a songwriter, he is best known for having written – with Mark Lowry – the Christmas classic, “Mary, Did You Know.”

It's part two of “What's the Deal with Dave” more interviews, more questions and more insightful commentary into what makes this young man tick and why his mission in life seems to be spreading happiness and joy throughout the human race. In other words, “Uncle” Dave would like to buy the world a Coke and furnish it with love, grow apple trees and honeybees and snow-white turtle doves. In this episode we hear from even more of Dave's guests at the Station Inn as dozens of Norfolk Southern trains continue to roll by just a few feet away as he tries to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. So imagine yourself relaxing on the porch on a warm summer's evening with a cool refreshing Coca-Cola and enjoy!!

There's nothing like having the opportunity to meet new people and spend quality railfanning time with friends. The Station Inn - https://stationinnpa.com/ - located along the Norfolk Southern mainline just west of Altoona is probably one of the best railfanning spots in all of North America. First opened in 1993, as the brainchild of Tom Davis a retired school administrator from New Jersey. Not long after it opened, an advertisement was placed in one of the more popular rail magazines of the day and a young “Uncle” Dave along with his brother and a couple of friends spent a weekend at “the Inn.” Dave's been coming back every year since with an ever-growing band of characters, this was the twenty-nineth straight year for Dave and the first for the AML crew. With microphone in hand the “Evel Overlord” decided to find out what's the deal with Dave through the eyes of his friends and brother Ben. It's a great interview that we know you'll enjoy!!!

In case you missed Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival last week at the Bluebird Cafe, Station Inn, or Third & Lindsley, you can join us this Thursday when we're having a morning of pickin' and prayin', singin' and sharin' at the NCS breakfast at Puckett's.   Except for the last two Covid-filled years, about 20 singers, songwriters, music producers, and “pastor types” have gathered at a two-day annual retreat organized by our own Lyle Williams. These brothers call themselves “Music City Fathers” and get together for a little friendship, a little encouragement, a lot of memories, and some really great music. The retreat is this week and some of the Music City Fathers are going to join us.   We expect to have several Jesus Music legends with us including John Fischer, Scott Wesley Brown, Bob Bennett, and Bruce Carroll.

Editor's note: As part of our When Love Shows Up Throwback Series we are re-posting this blog post which was originally posted on October 7, 2021. The first time I really noticed this effect was while watching live bluegrass at a little bar in Nashville called the Station Inn. It was the Spring of 2001, and this band I'd never heard of stood in a half circle up on a bare little stage - two guitars, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and bass - ripping through a beautiful song I'd never heard but felt like I'd known forever. As the song progressed, each musician stepped forward to solo. Everyone was a soulful virtuoso, but I was amazed by the discipline of their offerings - no matter how good each performer was, they confined their solo to the melody, then stepped back into the half-circle and disappeared into the sound of the whole...Each piece mattered, by the way. Every instrument. Every voice. They worked together in service of the song and carried it along while the melody carried them. I'm getting too fanciful about this, and I'm sorry about that but music is one of the things that helps me understand what I believe and feel about life. And this idea of these powerful, brilliant, dynamic musicians bringing their talents together to serve something bigger than themselves continues to speak to me after all these years.

In this episode. The guys sit down with Country Music Artist and Songwriter Charlie Worsham. Since the release of his 2013 debut, Rubberband, Worsham has established himself as one of Nashville's most beloved and well-respected artists. In addition to his own music, he's a frequent collaborator including work with Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Brandy Clark, Luke Combs, Vince Gill, Kacey Musgraves, Marty Stuart, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban among several others. He also earned a nomination for Specialty Instrument Player of the Year at the 55th ACM Awards and has toured extensively across the world including numerous shows performing as of part of Old Crow Medicine Show as well as dates with Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Kenny Rogers, Lee Ann Womack, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. June 25, 2021—Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Charlie Worsham will release his anticipated new EP, Sugarcane, July 16 via Warner Music Nashville with new song, “Half Drunk,” debuting today. Watch/share the official music video here  https://youtu.be/CXr16dro-vAOf the track, Worsham shares, “‘Half Drunk' tells the story of the first time I told my wife I loved her. I'd just been fired by my publisher and my manager had quit management that week, but I was singing that day in one of my favorite rooms in all the world, the Station Inn. Powered by Yazoo Pale Ale, applause, and a sense that this girl I was crazy about might just be more special and more permanent than the whole music industry thing, I turned to Kristen, said those three magic words, and she said ‘I love you too.' I hope this song inspires a lot of drunken making out and maybe a few last-time-saying-I-love-you-for-the-first-time moments.” Bourbons in this podcastEarly Times Bottled In Bond - 100 ProofLongbranch - 86 proofWild Turkey Rare Breed Rye - 112.2 proofDickle 8 Year Bourbon - 90 ProofDickle 9 Year Single Barrel Select - 103 Proof

Eugene, Beulah and Glade are still living in the basement of the Station Inn and fortunately, they were able to update us on their current status via song. Granted, they do most things via song but we are no less pleased to have gotten such a treat. Written and performed by: Sam Locke as Eugene and Glade Boozler. Kat Evans as Beulah Boozler.

Our podcast interview this week features bluegrass bass master Mike Bub.  Mike has performed with a long list of bluegrass bands, including The Weary Hearts, The Del McCoury Band, The Sidemen, Tim O'Brien, The Peter Rowan and Tony Rice Quartet, and many more.  Today we talk with Mike about his home-away-from-home at the Station Inn and he shares many stories about his life on the road and in the studio with the above mentioned bands.

We talk with writer and journalist Craig Havighurst about the history of the Station Inn and its fate after the passing of owner JT Gray.

Eugene, Beulah and Glade Boozler have all been trapped in the basement of the Station Inn, Nashville since the beginning of the quarantimes without a single trip out to buy emergency TP or just go for a walk to make sure the neighborhood still looks the way they remember (highly recommended). So, to say they’re going a little stir crazy is an understatement. How will a cabinet full of old games, most of which are missing pieces or have beer crusted on them, help keep them from losing it?

Ever wondered what it’s like inside the grueling tryouts and competitions of American Idol? This week on She’s in the City, we get the inside scoop from Season 18 contestant, Lauren Mascitti. This girl is as talented and genuine as they come, and in being raised by her beloved grandparents was indoctrinated into gospel and classic country music from a young age. Much like us she loves Dolly, Patsy, Crystal Gayle, Linda Ronstadt, and Dawn Sears of The Time Jumpers, which she encourages all of us to check out. She gives us inside scoops on Nashville’s hallmark Station Inn and shares what great power she believes sorrowful ballads hold in breaking isolation and healing our heartaches. E.g. her own Ballad of a Broken Heart and Losing My Mind. "I'm an old soul," Lauren admits, "and everything I really love tends to come from a time that's before my own." But how did all this nostalgic sound and songwriting go over on American Idol, you wonder? Well as many of us remember, Lauren’s surge toward success came on the heels of her watershed performance on the show, God Made a Woman, a biblically rooted song inspired by and written much about her grandmother, Nana, who raised her. Lauren admits her hesitance to pursue the American Idol competition, one that tends to lean more toward modern music and artists, but her courage to stick to her style and perform her own song in lieu of mainstreams options the judges encouraged paid off. She made a bold move and took the stage with just her guitar and a song so personal and close to home, and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive!  Not only did God Made a Woman receive a standing ovation from all three American Idol judges, it surged to #18 on iTunes country singles charts and brought the whole album for which this song is the title track to #4 along with it. Even after being cut in the Top 20 round of the show, Lauren’s performance of God Made a Woman now has over seven million views on YouTube, Facebook, all the platforms and her album continues to see great success.  Even though she didn’t end up where she wanted in the American Idol running, she tells us, the Lord used that song and that experience to take her even greater places.  “I went into with the feeling that if He wants me to go further in it, I will. And if He doesn’t, there’s probably something down the road He’s protecting me from. It’s really all about trusting the Lord.” Amen, Lauren! Thank you for your talent, your heart, and your voice.

En tiempos como los actuales, nos inclinamos por seguir la lista de la Texas Regional Radio, que nos acerca las canciones más programadas cada semana por las emisoras del Lone Star State, y hacernos eco de como hace unas semanas celebraron de forma virtual su entrega de premios anual, lo que nos da una una imagen bastante cierta de cómo está la escena tejana. La Randy Rogers Band fue la gran triunfadora de la noche llevándose a casa los trofeos de Artista, Banda y Vídeo del Año. Y lo hicieron gracias canciones como "I’ll Never Get Over You" que cantaba sobre días más largos y barbacoas encendidas. Es un ambiente perfecto para contar historias alrededor de una fogata… y bailar como solo los tejanos saben hacer en cuanto se abre el bar. Muy diferente al presente más cercano. La canción ha formado parte de Hellbent, aclamado por la crítica y especialmente representativo de los modos y maneras del grupo, que ha ido fortaleciendo su base de fieles seguidores y eligió a Dave Cobb para producir un trabajo de tintes implacables, sólido y vitalista. Su octavo álbum, Hellbent, tomó el título prestado de "Hell Bent On a Heartache", un tema firmado por Guy Clark que formó parte en 2013 del último disco en vida del trovador tejano, My Favorite Picture of You. Randy siempre ha tenido a Clark como uno de sus héroes y siempre ha aspirado a componer con esa elegancia natural. Por eso quiso que el nuevo registro del grupo hiciera un guiño a su mítica figura. La canción original es una delicada balada con acompañamiento de cuerdas que ha pasado a convertirse en casi un himno con recuerdos sonoros propios de Tom Petty. El Brandon Jenkins Memorial Songwriters Award sirvió para recordar a Kylie Rae Harris que murió con poco más de 30 años a primeros de septiembre del año pasado en un accidente de tráfico que ella misma provocó en Taos, Nuevo Mexico, cuando viajaba al festival Big Barn Dance Festival, donde tenía previsto actuar al día siguiente. Tejana de Wylie, había debutado en 2010 con el álbum All the Right Reasons al que siguieron dos EPs. El último de ellos, de título homónimo, dejó canciones como “Twenty Years From Now”. A pesar de su juventud, Jon Stork, un nativo de Houston, se está haciendo un nombre en la escena de Texas. Intentando imitar a su hermano, aprendió a tocar la guitarra, aunque también se fijó en las formas de Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Roger Creager, animándose a crear material original. Tras dejar la universidad por la música, era fácil verle en cualquier local que le abriera las puertas y hace tres años hizo su debut con “In Your Radio” a la que dio continuidad “One Night Stand” antes de lanzar su primer álbum en el verano de 2019, al que daba nombre genérico este “Radio Cowboy”. Con ese bagaje ya ha conseguido destacar como el nuevo vocalista del año para las emisoras de radio del Lone Star State. Casey Baker tiene su sede en Ontario y su mezcla de folk y country es la envoltura perfecta para unas canciones propias que revelan su propia personalidad con una honestidad absoluta. Dallas Green le pidió que se uniera a City & Color como guitarrista, pero nunca olvidó su vocación por mostrar sus cualidades como vocalista y compositora y en 2017 decidió mudarse a Denison, Texas, y empezar a conformar su primer álbum, When the Party's All Over, que vio la luz dos años más tarde con canciones tan sugestivas como “It Was Only Me”. Por todo ello fue premiada como mejor nueva vocalista. La Chad Cooke Band es un cuarteto originario de Houston que se mueve en los terrenos de la Red Dirt Music desde Oklahoma City hasta San Antonio, con guiños a los buenos tiempos de Brooks & Dunn y procurando no olvidar las armonías vocales que caracterizan a los Eagles. Debutaron hace cuatro años con su álbum Easy Way Home y en la primavera de 2018 se marcharon a Nashville para proseguir su andadura que dio como resultado un segundo trabajo, Risk It All, del que forma parte “Four Minutes”, un tema perfecto de two step donde la voz principal recuerda, y mucho, a Tracy Lawrence en sus mejores años. Canciones como esa les han acreditado como como la nueva banda del año. Tejana de The New Braunfels, aunque crecida en Las Cruces, del estado de Nuevo Mexico, Bri Bagwell empezó a escribir poemas siendo una cría, decidió que la música era su camino y ya tiene cuatro álbumes y un EP en su haber desde que su llegada a Austin cambió todas sus perspectivas. Debutó hace nueve años con Banned from Santa Fe y As Soon As You ha sido su último registro, del que ha salido el single “Cheat On Me”, un tema compuesto junto a Courtney Patton y convertido en el más destacado para las emisoras de radio de Texas, tanto como para convertirse en el single del año. Red Bandana, el último álbum de Aaron Watson, fue premiado como el mejor del año. Lo componen 20 canciones escritas por el propio artista con un claro sentido de conjunto, ya que cada una se relaciona con la siguiente. Un proyecto en el que el tejano estuvo trabajando desde tres meses antes de que publicara su disco anterior, Vaquero. “Legends” es uno de esos temas con la capacidad de atraparte, hablando de los viejos hábitos que mueren y las leyendas que sobreviven. Desde Willie a Hemingway, pasando por Dylan, Kristofferson, Gram Parsons, Tom Petty, Janis o Kurt Cobain. Yendo a la más cercana actualidad, ayer era el día en que se publicaba el nuevo álbum de Chris Stapleton, que hemos venido anticipando desde hace meses. Este cuarto trabajo en solitario, Starting Over, da continuación a los dos volúmenes de From A Room, que publicó hace tres años. Aunque su capacidad como compositor es evidente, entre los 14 temas del registro ha reservado un espacio para hacer dos versiones de Guy Clark ("Worry B Gone" y "Old Friends") y una de John Fogerty. En este último caso, la canción elegida ha sido “Joy Of My Life” que el músico californiano incluyó en el 97 en Blue Moon Swamp, su quinto álbum en solitario, y estaba dedicada a su mujer, Julie, siendo muy posiblemente el primer tema de amor que compuso John Fogerty. Para poner el contrapunto de rock pantanoso que siempre se le supuso a la Creedence Clearwater Revival de John Fogerty, Chris Stapleton compuso junto a Al Anderson "Devil Always Made Me Think Twice", uno de temas más poderosos de este Starting Over, que colocará al músico de Kentucky entre los mejores de este 2020. Sigue contando con el apoyo de Dave Cobb en las labores de producción y esta vez ha tenido cerca a Benmont Tench y Mike Campbell de los Heartbreakers de Tom Petty. Por supuesto, su mujer, Morgane, es un apoyo fundamental con una voz siempre armoniosa. Las canciones de Chris Stapleton siguen abarcando country, rock y góspel como vías sonoras y sus letras persisten en hablar de lo que ocurre a su alrededor. Por otro lado, el nuevo álbum de Sturgill Simpson es Cuttin' Grass – Vol. 1 (The Butcher Shoppe Sessions), un proyecto dedicado íntegramente al bluegrass y para el que ha contado con algunos de los más prestigiosos músicos de la escena de Nashville relacionados con el estilo de su Kentucky natal. Eso supone que tiene a su lado a lo que él llama "probablemente la mejor banda de bluegrass del planeta". Sturgill Simpson sigue presentándolo acompañado de esa banda impagable, que el pasado miércoles estuvo en The Late Show with Stephen Colbert versionando “Breakers Roar” desde el mítico Station Inn de Nashville. Es una de las canciones que formaron parte de A Sailor's Guide to Earth, su tercer álbum, publicado en 2016. Todas las canciones de este nuevo disco de Sturgill Simpson pertenecen a su carrera como músico y están filtradas por el bluegrass. Entre ellas hemos destacado desde el principio “I Don’t Mind”, un tema que nos remite a Sunday Valley un trío de country rock formado en 2004 con Sturgill como líder y una base rítmica con el batería Edgar Purdom III y el bajista Gerald Evans, que lanzaron un Ep homónimo aquel mismo año. Tuvieron que hacer un parón mientras Simpson trabajaba para el ferrocarril de la Union Pacific en Salt Lake City, en Utah, y ya en 2011 publicaron el álbum To The Wind And On To Heaven. Pero se separaron al año siguiente. Fue cuando Sturgill Simpson se mudó a Nashville. Ahora ha recordado aquella etapa versionando “I Don’t Mind”, que originalmente sonaba así en aquel disco de hace nueve años. Escuchar audio

Episode # 82 - Legendary Music Icon John Oates promotes New Live Solo Album - "John Oates & The Good Road Band Live in Nashville.," and so much more!!

John Oates & The Good Road Band ‘Live In Nashville’ Set For September 18th Release Four new originals along with covers of Mississippi John Hurt, Jimmy Rogers, Don Gibson highlight second Thirty Tigers album LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2020—Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Oates has had a home in Nashville for more than a decade, performing with some of the city’s most sought-after musicians. John’s Thirty Tigers debut, Arkansas, performed with The Good Road Band, was released in 2018, proving a critical and commercial success in the Americana and roots community, a combination of originals with classic songs popularized by Mississippi John Hurt, Jimmy Rodgers and Don Gibson. After two-plus solid years of honing their chops through touring, that group – mandolin stalwart Sam Bush, pedal steel maestro Russ Pahl (Dan Auerbach), electric guitar whiz Guthrie Trapp, expert bassist Steve Mackay, cello prodigy Nate Smith (Kacey Musgraves) and drummer/percussionist extraordinaire Josh “Daddy” Day – returns intact for Live In Nashville, set for release on September 18 on all major digital streaming platforms. The set was recorded last January 9 at Station Inn, the legendary intimate listening room in The Gulch section of Nashville where the band first took shape. “This album represents a full-circle moment for me,” said John, in quarantine with his family in his adopted Music City home. “It feels like the culmination of the Arkansas project, being able to bring these guys back, and to be able to make this record after touring and playing so many shows together.” Inspired by Mississippi John Hurt, Live in Nashville features songs like the gospel-blues opener, “Lord Send Me,” the Delta blues of the standard “Stack o Lee” and an electrified take on “Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor,” dubbed “Pallet Soft and Low,” where John manages to show off some of his well-honed rock guitar skills. In yet another “full circle moment,” John pays tribute to his own childhood with a cover of Don Gibson’s “Oh Lonesome Me,” the first song he learned to sing and play on guitar as a six-year-old after hearing it on the radio. Several of the songs come with Oates’ own stories about the songs, connecting the dots as to their connections, including popular hits of the era like the Mississippi Sheiks’ 1930 success, “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” Emmett Miller’s 1924 breakthrough, “Anytime” and Jimmy Rogers’ 1932 classic, “Miss the Mississippi and You.” Watch "Anytime" HERE “I was always fascin

Sometimes we all just need some beautiful music to calm the world and let us focus. Thankfully Eugene Boozler is here to do exactly that. The Boozlers seem to still be trapped in the basement of the Station Inn in Nashville but they’re managing to keep it together.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I’m your host Tim Landes. Oh boy was I excited to do this interview. My guest on this episode is Chad Rodgers, who co-owns and operates the legendary Cain’s Ballroom. It’s a place I consider a second home. I’ve seen hundreds of concerts at Cain’s over the years, yet I’d never talked to Chad until we sat down for this conversation the second week of March. At the time it was coincidentally one of the quietist months for the venue since the Rodgers family took over ownership in 2003. Of course now there won’t be any shows in for the next month or two as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the world suddenly changed, Cain’s Ballroom was rockin’ n rollin’. In late January, LA Times writer Christopher Reynolds published his list of the 12 best places for best live music in America. Cain’s ranked No. 4. The only places ahead of it are New Orleans’ Royal Street, NYC’s Carnegie Hall and Nashville’s Station Inn. Less than a week later, Rolling Stone named Tulsa as one of the eight best cities to see live music and highlighted the relationship Cain’s has with modern music legend Jack White. Of course Chad and I discuss how the White Stripes frontman came to fall in love with Cain’s and what it’s meant for business. We also look back at the early days of the Rodgers family operation, when they inherited the historic ballroom that at the time had no air conditioning, a leaking roof and a mythical wood floor that needed replaced. We also discuss the urban legend that is the spring-loaded floor.It was also suddenly a family business where nobody in the family had any experience in running a concert venue. Chad talks about the bumps and bruises and when things turned around it became the Cain’s Ballroom we all love today. This was a fun conversation diving into why Cain’s is so special to me and many other music fans that stretch well beyond Tulsa. This conversation is an expansion of a story about the ballroom that is featured in our April issue. Our intern, Ethan Veenker, did a great job writing about what makes Cain’s special. With distribution of physical copies extremely limited right now, I’d encourage you to visit TulsaPeople.com and check out the story, plus all the other great stuff in the magazine. If you want to read it like a magazine, we also have the digital issue linked on the homepage.Following my conversation with Chad, Tulsa Voice music writer Kyra Bruce checks in from home to share an excerpt of her interview with Tulsa singer/songwriter Lex followed by the song “Skin Off My Back” to close out the episode. Make sure to also check out her People to Wave To series on Youtube and The Voice’s facebook page. OK, let’s get this going. This is Tulsa Talks with Chad Rodgers of the legendary Cain’s Ballroom.
