My guest today is Everett Bradley. Everett is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and actor, who honors his mother's courage and tenacity to have advocated for her son's musical passion. He describes the turning point in his career from performing in the production STOMP!, to the Broadway show "Swing", to singing and playing percussion with Hall & Oates, Bruce Springsteen, and Jon Bon Jovi. Nearly 15 years ago, Everett created a soulful holiday show called Holidelic, that is by far one of the most uplifting, funk-filled, dynamic shows, I have ever experienced, driven by Everett's motto "GIVE LOVE!! Everett gives his love everywhere he goes and has been involved with the organization SAY, that creates an artistic home for youth who stutter. Everett, aka "Rev Ev", is also a Universal Life Church minister and has officiated 14 weddings, bringing his enthusiasm for life and love to yet another setting. He acknowledges the richness in replenishing himself in nature, with silence, solitude, and space; it is there he can honor his inner wisdom and nurture his creativity. Being in his presence, I am nourished and inspired by Everett's honesty, humanity, authenticity, and integrity. Check out the show notes for links to Everett's beautiful website, look for his tour with Bon Jovi 2020 and please join me next December to see Everett perform his magical Holidelic show.
