Music lovers rejoice! On this episode of Soul Strings, we dive deep with veteran musician Ed Callison who shares the remarkable story behind Pink Houses USA, his seven-piece John Mellencamp tribute band that's capturing the heartland rock experience across the Midwest.

Ed reveals the fascinating process of assembling the perfect lineup for Pink Houses USA, including the search for violinists that took them from symphony professionals to polka players before finding their sound. With sixteen shows lined up for 2024, including performances at the beautifully restored 1918 Miners Theater, Ed's excitement is contagious as he discusses how the band meticulously recreates Mellencamp's distinctive heartland rock atmosphere.

The conversation expands beyond just one tribute act, as Ed shares his musical journey from childhood drummer saving paper route money for his first kit to fronting multiple tribute bands. His passion spans decades and genres – from the yacht rock sounds of Captain Ed and the Catamarans to ABBA/Bee Gees tributes and a forthcoming Eagles project. What's particularly striking is Ed's disciplined approach to musicianship, emphasizing how consistent weekly rehearsals helped Pink Houses USA develop the tight sound essential for honoring beloved classics. 

Whether you're a musician yourself or simply a lover of live music, Ed's stories from decades on stage – including playing to 5,000 fans at St. Charles Family Arena and some colorful moments at biker rallies – offer both entertainment and wisdom. His parting advice? "Practice, practice, practice" – a simple but powerful reminder that even tribute performances require serious dedication to the craft. Follow Pink Houses USA on Facebook to catch their upcoming performances across Missouri and Illinois.

Strap on your seatbelts, because Chuck Pudiwitr, the axe-slinging maestro from Boyfriend Band, is here to take us on a wild ride down memory lane. Our latest chat unfolds the tapestry of a band that's seen it all—from their raucous inception in the halls of high school to the cusp of local legend status, courtesy of the one and only Ike Heisler. Chuck's tales are like the finest vinyl crackle—rich with the history of St. Louis's music scene, the hilarity of youthful indiscretions, and the kind of rock 'n' roll shenanigans that got them famously ousted from every hotel at Lake of the Ozarks. As we count down to the Boyfriend Band's 45th-anniversary reunion show, get ready for a nostalgic trip that promises to strike a chord with rebels and romantics alike.

Now, let's amp up the volume and prep for the Boyfriend Band's encore—because Chuck and the crew aren't just dusting off the old setlist. They're bringing fresh tunes to blend with the classics in a show designed to electrify your soul and still get you in bed by midnight. Our conversation zigzags through the decades, from opening for rock royalty like Eddie Money to the whimsical wonders of Bobby's hair encounters and Billy Idol's unusual backstage requests. Chuck's stories are a testament to the extraordinary endurance of these rock icons, setting the stage for an unmissable reunion on March 9th at the Diamond Music Hall. Tune in, rock out, and let the Boyfriend Band's saga inspire you to keep the music playing.
