Creative Guts

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with two members of the band Clandestine, Chris Salemme and Andrew Emanuel. Clandestine is a New Hampshire based jazz band that formed in 2018, whose four members met through the music program at the University of New Hampshire. Along with being in Clandestine, both Chris and Andrew work on individual music projects as well.

Through this interview, you’ll learn about how Clandestine chooses the songs they play, the pitfalls of the music industry, and even how jazz gets a bad rep and what Clandestine is doing to change that perception with their music. The two musicians discuss what it’s like booking shows as an instrumental band, Andrew reveals the reason why he sometimes played shows shirtless, and Chris shares the origin story of the band.

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with artist Lindsay Hall. Originally from Massachusetts, Lindsay received a BA in Art History from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2018 before returning to New England. A multidisciplinary artist, Lindsay loves to explore new mediums and ideas, but is drawn to themes of earth, plants, animals, and people. But not aliens. Yet. In this episode, we play a high stakes game of (expletive), marry, kill while managing to also dig deep into the guts and explore how Lindsay’s definition of success continues to evolve with time.

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman talk with Oscar Villacis, the Executive Creative Director of First Gen Multimedia! Oscar is the host of three First Gen Multimedia radio shows: First Gen American, Asking for a Friend, and Latinos en Vivo (a show hosted completely in Spanish — the only one in New Hampshire). 

In this episode, you’ll hear the absurd and beautiful origin story behind First Gen Multimedia. We also discuss mental health issues new Americans face that we don’t talk about enough, why Oscar doesn’t identify as the founder of an organization, and how he uses oral tradition to share the stories of first generation Americans to not only spread awareness and build community, but also to inspire the next generation. In this interview we laugh, we cry (literally), and get incredibly inspired.

Learn more about First Gen Multimedia online at https://fgmshows.com/. First Gen American is on Instagram (www.instagram.com/first.gen.american)  and Facebook (www.facebook.com/watch/firstgenamerican) and you can catch up with past episodes of Asking for a Friend on Facebook, too (www.facebook.com/AskingforafriendwithOscarVillacis).

Today’s episode of Creative Guts takes place at Kimball Jenkins! Following the summer youth zine, Creative Guts invited local participants to gather around for some treats from Teatotaller (thank you, Emmett Soldati!) and a lesson in printmaking led by Becky Barsi, head of the art department at The Derryfield School, manager of the Lyceum Gallery, and Creative Guts’ vice chair!

In this episode you’ll hear from four attendees: Camilla, an 11 year old who wants to be an art teacher when she grows up; Florence, a 14 year old whose parents are both artists; Zora, a student of Becky Barsi at The Derryfield School; and Ava, a teen who interned at Kimball Jenkins over the summer!

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman chat with Morgan Little. A songwriter, YouTuber, chef, visual artist, musician, Morgan has many talents. He’s also the brother of a past Creative Guts’ guest, Zac Little! In today’s episode, we’re jumping into the deep end to talk about how Morgan defines success, how a battle with a mysterious illness changed the course of his life, and what kept Morgan busy during the early days of the pandemic. 

Hear Morgan tell us about his series on YouTube called “Tuesdays with Morgan”, how the internet allowed him to put his music into the world, and the trajectory of his career from chef to (aspiring) history teacher. In this episode Sarah cries, we play a snippet from Relative Isolation’s song “King Sham”, and we talk about Hamilton and other sources of inspiration.

Find Morgan on Instagram and TikTok where his handle is @themildrevolution, binge “Tuesdays with Morgan” on YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/themildrevolution, and find The Mild Revolution and Relative Isolation on Spotify and wherever else you listen to music!

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman talk, for the second time, with Terry John (the artist formerly known as Terry Robinson). Last time Terry was on the podcast (episode 22, back in 2019), we chatted about his streetwear brand House of Testament and his work as a fashion designer. In this episode, we’re talking with Terry about his music and his life in Chicago as a student at the Art Institute. Along with his creative partner, Memory, and his alter ego, Genesis, Terry writes, produces, and arranges music he is calling neo gothic trap. Monolith is about Terry’s relationship with God (whom he refers to as the ultimate artist). In this episode, we talk about politics, the pandemic, and then we get way off track and talk about barbers, therapists, and more.

Find Terry’s music wherever you listen to music or start here: https://unitedmasters.com/m/monolith. Follow Terry on Instagram, where his handle is @_terryjohn.
