Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Ed Alstrom

Ed Alstrom grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Started playing organ (the family Hammond M-3) at age 5, guitar and bass as a teenager. Didn't acquire a piano in the Alstrom household until he was 12, at which time his father brought home an old pedal-pump player piano, on which he activated the broken player mechanism by connecting a canister vacuum cleaner and running it in reverse, which caused the piano rolls to play at blinding speed. Young Alstrom found this highly entertaining.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dean Zucchero

Hailing originally from the streets of East Village, New York City, Zucchero cut his teeth in the bustling, industry-driven Manhattan music scene where songwriting and studio recording chops have long since been revered and rewarded. Cultivating these traits in the city’s local dive-bar and cabaret music incubators such as CBGBs, The Bitter End, Dan Lynch Blues Bar, The Bottom Line and Manny’s Carwash, with rock act Major Domo as well as local blues heroes Michael Powers, Popa Chubby, Sweet Georgia Brown and Frankie Paris, to name a few, Zucchero’s consequent appreciation for melody, lyrical craftsmanship, arrangement, improv and an overall connection with urban multiculturalism finds deep prominence in his record.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Robbert Duijf

Robbert is someone who I've only recently became aware. Although he tells me ireland is a place he's very familiar with, especially the west of Ireland. Robbert as a songwriter is as true as they come. Written with a personal perspective on the events happening around. The first time i heard a song of Robberts First Train Out I was immediately struck by his passion and heartfelt lyrics. As I'm sure you will too if you tune in and join us in another unmissable interview.
