New York's Greenwich Village is a compact sanctuary that has attracted a legion of visionaries and non-conformists who had an outsized influence on 20th-century culture – on alternative lifestyles, progressive politics, and the arts, especially music. Within the maze of coffeehouses, nightclubs, and watering holes on its narrow streets, the legends-to-be of folk, jazz, and rock coalesced into tight-knit communities that birthed sound innovations that continue to resonate today. Now veteran music journalist David Browne has expertly chronicled this community's sprawling history and impact in a new book, Talkin' Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America's Bohemian Capital (Hachette Books).Browne is well-equipped to take on this task and to discuss all the ins and outs in this latest episode of Reading Is Funktamental. Presently a senior writer at Rolling Stone Magazine, he is the author of acclaimed biographies of musicians including Sonic Youth, Tim and Jeff Buckley, the Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.Based on 150 interviews with notables like Judy Collins, John Sebastian, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Suzanne Vega, and Terre and Suzzy Roche, Talkin' Greenwich Village lends this saga the epic scope it has long deserved. You can read my extensive review of the book for the culture site PopMatters at this link: https://www.popmatters.com/greenwich-village-david-browne-feature"Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers.

When you want to add joy and beauty to your life, listen to the Roches. There's magic in these three sisters' harmonies and good humor and heartbreak in their songs. They are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy, the last of whom is the little sister age-wise, the middle sister voice-wise and the glue personality-wise. Speaking from her New York home, Suzzy Roche reflects on the wonders and challenges of singing with her sisters and dealing with a music industry that thought it could make stars out of them. She also discusses the origins of their "Hallelujah Chorus" interpretation and “The Death of Suzzy Roche”; her standout acting turn in “Crossing Delancey”; and what made Maggie, who died from breast cancer in 2017, so special.

It's never too early to start celebrating the holiday season! Today DJ Bob welcomes musician and holiday aficionado Laurie Berkner to the mic. Their conversation is full of Christmas magic as Bob and Laurie discuss her recording process, original music, and diversity inclusion in her projects. Laurie also shares her collaboration process with Norm Lewis, Suzzy Roche & Lucy Wainwright Roche on her latest album. PLUS find out why the festive season means so much to Laurie!
Come for a ride down Interstate 5 with Suzzy Roche and Lucy-Wainwright Roche as I talk to them on their way to the next gig on their west coast tour. Suzzy is one-third of The Roches, a group of sisters whose records since the 1970s have been creating fanatic enthusiasts around the world, myself included. Her daughter Lucy has released several killer solo records in the last couple of decades, and the new album “I Can Still Hear You” is the third that the two of them made together. This one's an especially big deal for me, because I'm a huge fan on the Roches and their extended universe, including Lucy and her siblings Rufus and Martha Wainwright, not to mention their father Loudon Wainwright III. Earlier this year, I took my family to see Suzzy and Lucy perform in Seattle a few days before recording this interview while they were on the road (and I joined by speakerphone technology). Today we're talking about the Roches legacy, including being among the first artists to earn the classification “folk punk,” Suzzy and Lucy's experience collaborating remotely on an album that was meant to happen in a Nashville studio, balancing humor and sincerity in their music, the adjustments necessary to incorporate Roches songs into their set, and Suzzy's most recent novel “The Town Crazy.”Links related to this story can be found on this episode's page at https://www.lowprofilepodcast.comEpisode Artwork by Lani MorrisonProduced by Markly MorrisonThis show is supported by you at patreon.com/LowProfile and in-kind supporters Old School Pizzeria, Rainy Day Records, Schwartz's Deli, San Francisco Street Bakery and Scherler Easy Premium Shitty American Lager. Bonus track "Love To See You (Roches)" by Stephen Steinbrink.
I'm very excited to kick things off today, I've been working on this season for a little over a year and as usual, I'll be presenting a ton of terrific musical guests. Also, my wife Lani Is supplying hand drawn portraits of all the artists for each episode, starting with today's guest, Peter David Connelly of the Mona Reels, whose latest self-released album “Without Love” is available on bandcamp. In addition to the band's output over the past twenty years or so, Peter and I talk about how to hack the algorithms that police low-res photos, worshiping The Beach Boys, the role of piano in contemporary rock music, his old band called Weezer, and Peter gives a few piano and vocal performances we taped in his home here in Olympia.

Kari connects Suzzy to her sister Maggie, who was one third of The Roches, whose songs were covered by artists such as Phoebe Snow, as they talk about her new album "I Can Still Hear You" with the song "I Think I Am A Soul," which features Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls and was inspired by her sister Maggie, where she got the inspiration for that song in Greenwich Village, the blending of the voices of mothers and daughters and sisters when they sing, how she knew to follow her raison d'etre even when things are tough, helping others with one's gifts, the magic of the gift of music, the similarities of channeling music from one's Higher Self and the Other Side and loved ones on the Other Side, nature as magic and other things about the animal world, being grateful in simple things and simple gifts from the universe.
