In this episode of Cover Stories, Alyson Alonzo is doing a mashup of ”Just the Two of Us” by Bill Withers, “Location” by Khalid, and “Something About Us” by Daft Punk. We talk the legacy of Bill Withers, the stigma of smooth jazz and jazz singer’s influence on Alyson, community music performances with YOSA and the Spurs and how she used MySpace early in her career, how Amy Winehouse and Adele have inspired her voice.

We also talk about 90s era MTV, and dive into LGBTQ culture and history, as well as Alyson’s soft spot for country music.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and other jazz singers Alyson looks up to.
• Playing Radiohead and Michael Jackson songs with Youth Orchestra of San Antonio
• Michel Gondry music videos
• Faith Hill, Madonna and Lady Gaga
