Certain musicians of our time that have their hand in every part of their artistry: from conceptualization to the actualization of their vision….Mobley has established himself as more than just a one-man band by playing all the instruments and sounds that you hear, but he/s created various storylines and underlying meanings to his latest work and masterpiece, “Young & Dying in the Occident Supreme”. 

On today’s show, we have Mobley, an Austin, TX based musician, but who draws inspiration from all around the world in his music, his life experiences and desire to help the greater good and spread equality and justice through his music. I listened to Mobley’s EP front to back twice before watching the visual album short film he created and it was an absolute dream to sit down and talk with him about how all of these different elements came together and what his thought process was behind the music.

What is the future of live music venues? How are the few venues that are open creating a safe space for attendees to see their favorite artists? What really goes on behind the scenes of keeping their doors open and what can we do to save our stages?

On today’s show, I talk about the current state of shows and how 3 specific venues in Austin, Far Out Lounge, Empire Control Room & Garage and Antone’s, have shifted their traditional event models to adapt to the current times.

What does Studio 54, Woodstock, Desert Hearts, and Led Zeppelin all have in common? Yes that would be one epic collaboration but no…. Yorkie Louie has seen all of those performances live and casually talks about it as if moments like this happened yesterday.

On today’s show, we have Yorkie Louie, the “Godfather of Clubbing”, who resides in Austin, TX but has also lived in the epi-centers of San Francisco and New York City during their most transformative years. Yorkie is a modern day historian of the club scene and while that may be his namesake, Yorkie has witnessed and experienced all types of prejudice and injustices throughout the years. Instead of succumbing to these moments, Yorkie has chosen love and to focus on what matters the most to him: his partner, family and friends.

Yorkie and I talk about his journey through San Francisco in the early days, his most memorable club moments in NYC and iconic names and characters from that era he crossed paths with, his first experience with Desert Hearts that hooked him to this community for life, and lastly, we take a moment to remember the hard times, and why he is so grateful and positive now for everything life has given him. 

Please enjoy this heartfelt and at times, jaw-dropping episode with Yorkie and if you could please rate, review and share this episode with others!

EPISODE 14 - Emily The Funk (OG Rave Influencer/Burner)

Who are some of your biggest personal influences? What is it about them that draws you to them and how has your life changed because of them? On today’s show, I’m excited to introduce you to one of MY biggest influences and the person who inspired me to start on my journey to living MY truth in the music scene, Emily The Funk.

Emily The Funk, one of the original “influencers” before the term even existed, and someone I’ve admired for YEARS. Emily started on instagram back in 2011 and quickly amassed a following for her stunning and eye-catching photos from concerts, raves, and music festivals, but the loyalty and love for Emily came from her vulnerability and sharing her highs and lows through life with her followers. 

Emily and I talk about her first rave at 15 that hooked her to the scene, her relationship to social media and what was REALLY going on in her life to cause to take a break back in April, her beloved dog, Frankie, that had cancer in which her followers came together to raise over $12,000 for his treatment, and last but not least, her love of Burning Man and what it means to her.

Lions and Tigers and OnlyFans, oh my!  We talk about it all in this week’s episode with the one and only, Tameca Jones, aka the Empress and Queen of Soul of Austin, TX. Tameca is the 2020 Austin Music Awards winner for “Best Vocals”, has performed at Austin City Limits music festival and toured with Gary Clark Jr., and has one of the most hypnotic and soulful voices I’ve ever heard (and also why I’ve seen her perform more than any other artist in Austin.)

Off stage, Tameca has become a good friend of mine, and the time flew by way too fast. We talked about how she’s been handling the absence of shows, OnlyFans accounts, her recent discoveries about herself from diving into astrology, our middle school fashion and love of sports jerseys, and last but not least, what she’s most excited about while creating her newest album. 

Please enjoy this entertaining, laugh out loud and jam-packed episode with Tameca Jones and if you could please rate, review and share this episode with others!

EPISODE 12 - Jonathan Terrell (Singer/Songwriter)

In this week’s episode, we have Austin, TX based and singer/songwriter, Jonathan Terrell. Jonathan Terrell aka “JT”, talks about releasing his newest album, Westward. He takes us behind-the-scenes of what his process was in putting together each of these deeply meaningful songs with other collaborators and musicians, and how he chose the final 10 songs of putting his Westward album together.

JT has had an incredible journey throughout his career and his witty, sense of humor had me laughing out loud while later, bringing me to tears when he was speaking about his family ties to his music and his album Westward.

EPISODE 11 - Vibe With Ade (YouTube/Festival Expert) 

In this week’s episode, we have Vibe With Ade, a festival expert based in Austin, TX that runs a well known music blog called VibeWithAde, crushes it on every social media platform, and is now DJing and putting together her own VibeWithAde mixes.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ade throughout the years and we talk business and how she has balanced Vibe With Ade while also working a 9-5, her favorite moment with Fisher and Chris Lake on Holy Ship, and break down what she loves about Electric Forest, and why she has become the “go-to” resource for this particular festival.

In this week's episode, I reflect back on what 2020 has meant for me and what I'm taking with me into the new year. This has been the year of "feeling" for me and with the removal of concerts and events, I've spent more time with my thoughts and feelings than I normally would have liked,  but have been able to channel those things into some major life lessons that I am truly grateful for.

Please let me know some of your 2020 reflections and if any of this resonates with you, please feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message at [email protected] and thank YOU first and foremost, for all of your support.

Thank you to my producer, Steve Souza, for helping me spearhead this project and starting the highlight of my 2020, "Concert Queen Connect".

In this week’s episode, we have Igor Tchkotoua, of legendary techno duo, Pig&Dan. Pig&Dan have played the major festivals like Ultra, Tomorrowland and Awakenings, shows at Hi Ibiza with Eric Prydz, Crowbar Buenos Aires, to Womb Tokyo. They started their own label, Elevate, back in 2016 and while Igor has played music all around the world for 20+ years, this is the first time he’s had the opportunity to be home for an extended amount of time and focus on other parts of his life that he couldn’t while touring.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Igor on a personal level over this last year and a half and I’m grateful to him for being so open about his journey to recovery, what truly excites him these days and how his priorities have shifted over the past year.
