One year celebration ! This time Tyler Wood takes over as the host talking to me. Enjoy!

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Carly Birker was almost destined to be in the entertainment industry. With older brothers nuts about music growing up, there’s no wonder that she has made it her life’s work. Starting out with interviewing musicians in 2016 and claiming the brand name “BehindtheBirk”, her goal has always been to bridge the gap between emerging artists and award-nominated artists. From 2017-2019, she has produced close to 100 live shows around California. However, she wanted to be even more invested in the careers of the artists, so she got licensed to be a talent agent in December 2019. Largely affected by the pandemic, Carly has been trying to not let that stop the artists or herself rise and conquer the music scene.

Utero are back with our new drummer Tib Van Dyke! special surprise for you guys at the very end!

Indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Calista Garcia brings a mix of complexity and sophistication to her confessional musings that carry a hint of pop and blues. Her style harkens back to ’70s classic acts such as Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, but with a fresh modern twist.

Her debut extended play (EP) collection “Wild Woman” was released in April 2019 to much critical acclaim, garnering a nomination for “Best Roots/Country EP” in the 2020 Independent Music Awards.

A prolific songwriter who plays guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, mandolin and harmonica, Calista also writes for film/television placement and the stage, having completed her second classic-rock inspired musical, Crystal Skies, which is a 2020 semifinalist for the Eugene O’Neill Musical Theatre Conference.

Calista was seen on Season 16 of NBC's The Voice and is on the roster of worldwide Takamine guitar artists.
