Mouthful of Graffiti

On this show, I sat down with the dreamlike-vocalist of Blind Rhetoric and Vestacension, Mr. Brian Wade.

Currently residing in Astoria, Brian Wade has been circling the Mid-Atlantic for the better half of 20 years, writing and releasing his signature brand of beautiful alternative rock poetry. When those bands aren't keepin' him busy, he's also the vocalist for Kingstarn.

The audio you’re about to hear is from a ZOOM call we had on December 29th. For a better experience, find the video online, but for the sake of making it available in multiple formats, here’s the audio from that call. 

As always, we did a deep dive into the origin story of this artist from Baltimore, MD.

On this show I down with a man about town, Mr. Jamie Bishop. Jamie isn’t just a musical professional, he also has a very D-I-Y work ethic and has started multiple successful businesses – just in the time I’ve known him.

He’s been successful in all of his pursuits and has earned himself a reputation for being a dependable and contributing member of Harford County. But, before we put too much shine on the shoe, I also know Jamie likes to have a good time and cut-up. When he’s not pickin’ n’ grinnin’ or strummin’ the sorrow, he’s likely at a local brewery catching up with friends. 

Join me in welcoming friend and fellow musician, Mr. Jamie Bishop to THE MOG!

Bryan Dunaway has been a mainstay in the Baltimore punk rock music scene for a lot of years. His often manic, upbeat acoustic approach is as fun as it is unique. He doesn't shy away at an opportunity and isn't afraid to let it all hang out there.

He's the genuine article and stopped by to talk about where he's been, where it's going and what punk rock means to him.

On this very special Christmas edition of the Mouthful of Graffiti Podcast, I sat down with singer/songwriter and entrepreneur, Ms. Shelby Blondell. Shelby has had her share of ups and down, but through it all, she’s become stronger and more successful for it.

She’s here today on a mission of "HOPE" and to remind us all of how truly special we are. At the risk of sounding like a Hallmark ad, I’m going to stop there, grab my Sheller and get to the meat of this interview.
 
Let’s get crackin’!

Today, on this holiday edition of the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast, I'm joined by a man who left a lot of presents under our tree, before mysteriously disappearing into the ether. Ancient Christmas theorists believe he returned to the North Pole. 

Say it how you’d like, it’s all Smantx, but I know a lot of people are excited for the return of this neo-alternative rock group out of Baltimore, Maryland, featuring multi-instrumentalist, Mr. Kyle Wesley Claus.

 Alongside the man himself, I’m joined by former We Love the Underground bandmate and guitarist and vocalist for the hauntingly beautiful group Isilme, Mr. Eric 'The Red Nosed' McCullough.

We’re all settled in with nowhere we have to be, so sit back and enjoy this holiday edition of The MOG!

On this show, I sat down with Charm City Ghostbuster, novelist and event planner for the annual Fright Reads Book Festival, Harry Carpenter. A lot of books have earned Harry Carpenters name and he’s just getting started.

I recently attended the Fright Reads Book Festival in Severna Park and I can tell you, it's an event you won't want to miss next year.

Harry’s books are often a direct line with something in his personal life, which makes them all the more interesting and personal. Join me in welcoming *THE* Harry Carpenter to the MOG!

On this show we had a man who needs no introduction. Larry Noto of the legendary Music Land Store in Bel Air stopped by to talk about his store’s 50 years of success, his comedy, his *BIG* band and how it all started.

A lot of us were introduced to his father, Joe Noto, in our formative years, but Larry Noto has already taken the Music Land vision to new heights and as a fan of Walt Disney, I know he’s got even bigger plans on the horizon. Not only are they a sponsor of the show, but they've pumped a lot of life and music into the Town of Bel Air.

I couldn’t be happier or more proud to welcome Larry Noto to THE MOG!

Shane Burke is a Baltimore based singer-songwriter with a lot of albums under his belt, dating back to at least 2008. His music could be described as chord-based alternative atmospheric folk-rock and he’s had a lot of success doing it.

He stopped by to tell us how it all started, whose ‘Lights’ he hopes to ‘Light’ and what’s left in his briefcase of poetry that he’d like to share with the world. There are a lot of talented artists in the Baltimore area, but few with a voice as soulful, smooth and unique as Shane’s.

On this episode I sat down with an accomplished and published fantasy author – the author responsible for the Misbegotten book series, Sherri Cook Woosley. 

Sherri has managed to blend popular dystopian elements with fairy tales, all while weaving her own  personal autobiographical elements into books you’ll never forget. 

She’s a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America; her books are professional, received and there’s a lot more on the way. 

Tastes of Sherri is a resource for links to all Sherri Cook Woosley's short stories and novels.

This was a Brad-on-Brad MOGPOD exclusive.

As if awakening like Rip Van Winkle, Bradley James Hayes is back and seizing on every opportunity that comes his way and before it’s “Gone”. There aren’t a lot of solo country artists in the original Baltimore music scene so we’re happy he took the time to stop by. One part dreamer, another father and another musician,  you’ll soon find out, there’s a "Little Piece" of Brad in all of us.
