Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Reverend Shawn Amos

Amos was born in New York. He is the youngest son of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookie founder Wally Amos and the only son of Shirley Ellis Amos, (professionally known as Shirl-ee May in the early 1960s). Throughout Amos' childhood and adulthood, his mother suffered from schizoaffective disorder and ultimately committed suicide in 2003. The trauma of the event and his subsequent discovery of her early singing career were the inspiration behind his 2005 album release Thank You Shirl-ee May.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Deb Ryder

Born in Chicago Illinois, she began singing at the age of five joining her Dad, crooner Al Swanson on stage at several popular venues and churches in the area. Deb’s musical career began in her early teens when her mother moved the family to California and along with her stepfather opened the renowned Rock and Blues club the Topanga Corral. There, she opened for and performed with such legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Taj Mahal and Canned Heat, all regulars at the club. These artists mentored Ryder, and it was then that her vision of herself as a singer, songwriter and performer began to take shape.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Blind Lemon Pledge

In 2021, Blind Lemon Pledge (aka Bay Area bluesman James Byfield) released “A Satchel Full of Blues”, an eclectic and wide ranging collection of original American Roots based songs set to a stripped down combo sound with drums, bass, guitar and harmonica. Garnering a slew of rave reviews, the album went to the top of the Blues charts, landing the #9 spot on the Roots Music Report’s Acoustic Blues Album Chart for 2021, and #85 on the RMR Top 200 Blues Albums.  One critic in Britain hailed it as one of the top 25 blues albums of the year. “Oh So Good”, Pledge’s 10th album of originals and covers displays Pledge’s impressive compositional range with tunes ranging from Blues to Folk to Jazz to Cajun, with a startling and original take on the folk and blues classic “House of the Risin’ Sun”.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective

Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective are Jamie Williams on vocals & rhythm guitar; Dave 'The Hat' Milligan on lead guitar; Jake 'The Dude' Milligan on Bass & James Bacon on drums. They exist on an imaginary tightrope stretching between Tom Petty & The Rolling Stones. Settled into the current super-tight line-up after many years and hundreds of shows the band is now on fire, playing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana at festivals, venues, clubs & pubs including a couple of rapturous nights at London's legendary 100 Club, their ethos is always to have fun and make sure the crowd does too.  This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes.
