Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Chris Beard

Chris Beard is a modern blues guitarist and singer like no other. His personal connections to the blues were forged with the living blues men he sat with since childhood.

Born in 1957, Beard is the son of blues guitarist, Joe Beard, who grew up on Beale Street in the 1950s. When family friends like Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Buddy Guy stopped by to visit, young Beard became their willing pupil. Chris says, “when your father grew up on Beale Street and music was in your DNA, then blues is who you are and what you do.”

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Miles and Mafale

Catherine Miles & Jay Mafale are married co-conspirators in song. They are two scoops of modern folk with a generous sprinkling of pop-catchiness, topped off with the wit and flair that comes of their theater backgrounds.

Catherine’s voice - resonant, expressive, a powerhouse. She’s got range and she’s not afraid to use it. Jay’s guitar - percussive, melodic, thoughtful. He propels and punctuates the narrative. Their shared experience has taught them about perseverance and perspective, and those strengths are evident in their song craft. They invite folks inside their songs with a story to be told, a friend they want you to meet, a villain or hero presented with a flourish.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Martin Zellar

If you ask singer-songwriter Martin Zellar what he's most proud of over his long career, he answers, "I guess that I've managed to support my family by writing, recording, and performing music for over 35 years. It hasn't always been easy or glamorous, but I've found a way. I still love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else. And honestly, the fact that I'm not qualified to do anything else has been a motivator". The truth is, Martin Zellar has made his living as a singer-songwriter for over 35 years because he has always reliably delivered what his fans have come to expect from him: quality songwriting and heartfelt performances.
