Eric Krasno Plus One

In Episode of 18 Plus One Eric speaks with saxophonist and composer Cochemea Gastelum, whose 2019 album "All My Relations" is one of Kraz's most played records of the year. Cochemea made his mark as a member of The Dap-Kings, the potent funk and soul band behind the late great vocalist Sharon Jones. He's also played with artists from Amy Winehouse to Run The Jewels, always experimenting with effects and other sounds you might not expect from a sax player.

Cochemea brings that same experimental ethos to his solo material, drawing inspiration from his native roots and incorporating Navajo melodies, a Sanskrit prayer, and Mexican huapango rhythms with jazz and funk arrangements to produce a record that is truly one of a kind.

In Episode 17 of Plus One Eric talks with soul singer and bandleader Allen Stone. The son of a preacher, Allen describes how singing in church from the age of 3 built his musical chops for years before he was exposed to "secular" music. Once he heard Stevie Wonder's InnerVisions as a teenager Allen had found the sound he wanted to emulate, and you can hear echoes of Stevie and other R&B legends in each of Stone's four records.

Eric and Allen also discuss fatherhood, the lifelong search for contentment with the touring life, and what they tell up and coming artists when they're asked for advice.

In Episode 15 Eric talks to bluegrass sensation Billy Strings, whose hard-playing style and high-energy live shows are introducing bluegrass to all types of new fans. The two first met at the RoosterWalk Festival in 2017, when a storm prevented Eric's band from showing up and Billy's band sat in at the last minute. They've been friends ever since, and in those years Billy Strings has gone from releasing his first EP to selling out theaters across the country.  

Billy tells Eric about being a young kid and playing music with his father, the gifted picker Terry Barber, as the genesis of his lifelong passion, and what it was like to perform at The Ryman Auditorium with his dad and Del McCoury. They discuss the bluegrass revival of the last decade, Billy's heavy metal roots, the electric guitar Billy's grandpa made in jail in 1961 that Billy still performs with, and a lot more. 

Check out Billy Strings "Streaming Strings Tour", which features 9 nights of concerts live streamed from 5 different venues around Nashville, July 16-26th.
