A-Sides with Jon Chattman

We chat with Daniel Horine, creator of Pop Fly Pop Shop,  about his genius weekly art prints which make superheroes out of baseball and football stars, and baseball greats like Dale Murphy and Bo Jackson.  

Former Major League Baseball player Bronson Arroyo discusses life after the game — primarily the debut album release of his band, Bronson Arroyo & the ‘04.  Bronson also discusses whether he’d coach or manage, Dusty Baker winning his first World Championship, the Red Sox, the Cincinnati Reds, and so much more. 

Everyone’s an “emerging artist” when you read an interview about a new musician.  But like,
Sydney “Syd” Palmieri  truly is. The alt pop, singer-songwriter keeps good company.  She’s   about to drop her new single “Insane” with Grammy award-winning producer, Keith Thomas (Chris Brown, Usher, Amy Grant, Mariah Carey), and already has two wildly successful singles “Medicine” and “Angel”  which collectively have surpassed 325k streams across all platforms.  I spoke with the Nashville emerging star (see what I did there?) and asked her about music, songwriting and whatever I could think of. 

Justin from the band Welles performed Rock N Roll Times & Seventeen a few years back and it was glorious -- to kick off season 2 of A-Sides heres one that meant a lot.  Recorded live in the offices of The Capitol Theater in Port Chester.

Miami based Pop Singer-Songwriter Rudy Touzet discusses prepping his upcoming EP, balancing a music career and college, and graduating.  

Finnish “violent pop” band Blind Channel catapulted to stardom after their appearance at last year’s Eurovision and have no signs of slowing down.  They’ll release Lifestyles of the Sick & Dangerous on July 8 and you can expect a high energy dose of rawk. This Finnish band is going places, kids.  Joel Hokka and Niko Moulanen sat down for a quick chat on the cast to discuss taking flight. 

Luke Reyvn draws inspiration from all genres including early 2000s Nu Metal, and no, that’s not a bad trying.   The 21-year-old artist, who will drop an album later this year, is also a mental health advocate who uses his music as a source of therapy , and lucky for us, it’s catchy AF — blending that aforementioned genre, beats, alt-pop and only good stuff.  Listen to the interview and find his songs all over the Interweb. 

Cellist Calvin Langman and guitarist Ross Monteith started playing covers and then started making some pretty amazing originals.  Drummer  Luke Davis joined in and ultimately the Awfully Apeelin’ EP came out in 2016.  This band is bananas good.  Read their bio somewhere else. Catch them on the road this summer and now wherever you are. But know this they have  over a million monthly listeners on Spotify and other impressive stats.   Their music is candy for your ears. 

Emerging Irish rockers Dylan Howe and Fionn Hennessy-Hayes of Rowan discuss their debut album, Does It Make You Happy? and more. 

Touring with George Clinton and P. Funk and dropping a new record? What have you done this year? We chat with Brian J. of Pimps of Joytime.
