Todd and I get real about the final days of our band Ominous Seapods, working on our last studio album with producer Glenn Rosenstein, what it means to protect his relationship with music, and he shares about his flip to the world of digital marketing, it's exciting creativity, and his enormous success in that industry. We also talk about his book, Lessons from the Road: Musicians as Business Leaders, and Todd draws many insightful parallels between life as a touring musician and life in the business world. We also talk about our upcoming Seapods shows on February 11 and 12 at The Hollow in Albany, New York!

Jerry and I have a chance to chat again, and he shares some incredible stories from his career, including working with Hall & Oates and Elvis Costello, and we laugh about some wild and hilarious anecdotes along the way.

Peter and I catch up a bit and talk about his remarkable career that has grown exponentially during the 20 years since we last saw each other.  Peter shares about working his way up in the music scene in New York City, having the honor to play and write with Gregg Allman, touring Europe, getting a compliment from Aretha Franklin, and much more!

Alex and I chat about his life growing up in Berkeley during the emergence of the thrash metal music scene, joining and touring with the group Testament, pursuing new musical interests including forming a jazz trio, and performing with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

Colm and I have a delightful conversation about his life growing up in Ireland and his remarkable career in music.  At the age of 29, Colm has already produced 3 chart-topping records and he has some remarkable insights about the music he loves as well as the music he creates.

This is my episode to express my heartfelt thanks to listeners and all of my amazing guests!  I'll see you all for new episodes beginning January 5th!  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Jerry Marotta, his brother Rick, and I share a last name in common and we're also all drummers. It's a real Marotta love fest as Jerry and I chat about the recording process, his early career, and his huge successes working with artists like Peter Gabriel and Paul McCartney. We quickly realized that one episode is simply not enough to cover his amazing life, so we decided to make this a two-part episode! Stay tuned for part two coming soon!

Jennifer and I talk grammar, social media slang, the trauma of the pandemic, and of course about her life in music and the arts, including the pleasures and perils of being a real touring artist. She's smart, charming, insanely talented, and we had so much to talk about that you might want to keep your eyes (or ears?) peeled for a bonus episode with Jennifer coming soon!

No description needed this week. You just have to listen.
