Today on the show I’m sitting down with a drumming legend in the indie rock n’ roll community, Ms. Aixa Vilar of Go Betty Go. Go Betty Go has been a staple in the West Coast music scene for over 20 years. 
 
Yes, 20 years; partying and rockin’ alongside bands like The Dollyrots, Bad Mary, The Muffs and more. Indie rock is a family, an aesthetic and a way of life; it’s a culture that Hollywood movies are made about to reflect upon and try to understand, though they often get it wrong. 
 
In four days, Go Betty Go will be kickin’ things off with their "Party at Sea" music video. Join me in welcoming Aixa Vilar to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast!

Today on the show I’m sitting down with the president and founding member of the local Scottfield Theatre Company, Ms. Becky Titelman, along with two of the stars of the upcoming musical, School of Rock, featuring Lucky Marino and Liz Marion.  
 
All three have a lot of experience in theater and know how to put on a quality production. I’ve known and worked with Becky for a lot of years. If there’s one thing you can count on, she isn’t going to have her name on or associated with anything that she isn’t proud of and doesn’t R-O-C-K.
 
I’m happy to have them all on the show this morning, so join me in welcoming, Lucky Marino, Liz Marion and Becky Titelman of the Scottfield Theatre onto the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with enough folk-rock heart to convince even the most cynical musician into believing, ‘Rock n’ Roll didn’t die, our priorities did.’ 
 
I’ve often said that rock n’ roll isn’t a genre, it's an invocation of social change, with one’s heart on full display. It’s as much punk rock as it is soul. 
 
I can’t think of three original artists who carry the torch of being genuine singer-songwriters to the Olympic flame more than Shelby Blondell, Mike Smith & Shane Grimm. 
 
They are as authentic as they are charming and as real as they are artistic. They know the power of an honest song. I couldn’t be happiest to have them on the show. Join me in welcoming Shane Grimm, Mike Smith & Shelby Blondell to the Mouthful of Graffiti LIVE at Reb Records!

Today on the show I’m sitting down with a local up-and-coming alternative rock n’ roll group who call themselves Made From Meteors. This Mid-Atlantic quartet fuses rock, funk and blues and they’ve already started impacting the local music scene with their hooky brand of space-themed space rocks. 
 
They are a reminder to explore the limitless of rock n’ roll. Colin Walters holds down the low end, while Scott Blecman pounds away on the skins, sending his good vibrations into the atmosphere.

On July 16th, their EP album ‘Origins’ will drop and, so long as our satellites remain in place, you’ll be able to hear it anywhere you stream. It’s a pleasure to have them on. Join me in welcoming Made From Meteors to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with Mark and Lisa Moody of a popular local brewery, Double Groove Brewing.  Mark and Lisa are not just brewmasters, they are tireless supporters of our local talent and have been growing at a meteoric velocity since [at least] 2019. I remember talking to Lisa at the genesis of Double Groove Brewing and could tell they had big plans, and this wasn’t a ‘Flash in the Pan’ idea; it was something that would eventually take Harford County by storm and, in a few short years, they’ve done exactly that. Blending music with beer and beer with community, Double Groove Brewing is a force that everyone who loves a good time should be out to support. I’m thrilled to finally have them on the show. Join me in welcoming Mark and Lisa to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with a singer, songwriter, podcaster and production house, Mr. Brett Buehler. Brett has had a wild year and made a lot of waves with his Part-Time Rockstar podcast, but has also overcame some personal injuries and struggles that he’s shared privately with me.  
 
When he’s not strummin’ and hummin’ or interviewing one of the areas top talents, he’s probably saving a life or on the ice playing hockey or wishing he was. He’s a down-to-earth guy who goes after his dreams with tenacity and heart. He’s made quite a name for himself in the Mid-Atlantic community and he’s here today to talk about what he’s been up to since we last spoke. 
 
Join me in welcoming Brett Buehler to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with singer, songwriter and local inspiration, Allie Post. Allie has a soulful affect and isn’t afraid to tackle hot button topics with her soft, melodic voice and guitar. Much like a songbird, she’s always singing her heart out, whether she has an audience or not. 
 
I recently had Allie onto the Mouthful of Graffiti Podcast LIVE at Reb Records and she blew me away with her candor, lyrical composition and professional performance. For someone just edging out 21, she’s got a very bright future ahead of her. Join me in welcoming Allie Post to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Special thanks to our latest sponsor, the Harford County Cultural Arts Board.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with three artists with very different musical backgrounds with a common thread, songwriting. Allie Post, the youngest of the three, has a folksy approach and has just started to climb the mountain of local rock n’ roll legends. Josiah Orsie is already one of those icons. He is an alternative rocker, best known for his beloved, innovative, moody rock act, Tears of Mars. 
 
Another legend, E. Joseph, has been playing music since he knew there was music. He has decades of experience and a lot of stories to tell; it’ll be my challenge to keep our interview to 15 minutes.
 
All of them bring a perspective to the show that is uniquely their own in a timeline where music has changed dramatically. In the words of Tom Keifer, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” 
 
From spinnin’ vinyl, to CDs, to streaming, to vinyl again, one thing is for sure, music unites. And, in the words of Jagger, “It’s only rock n’ roll, but I like it, like it.”  Join me in welcoming this powerhouse of talent to the Mouthful of Graffiti LIVE at Reb Records.

Anthony Hurley, a singer-songwriter, musician, father and husband out of Baltimore, Maryland is the ‘Papa’ who’s back with ‘Brand new bag.’ Since the last show back in January of 2022, his main group, Rosabella, has been tirelessly promoting new releases from their upcoming album, ‘Breaking at the Bend,’ set to drop on May 31st. But, coming from the peripheral to the forefront, and why he’s here today, Anthony has been forging his own path as a solo artist, booking himself as Hurley or Anthony Hurley Music. I’ve heard one of his new cuts; it’s a happy blend of southern folk and alternative rock. I’m happy to have him on so join me in welcoming Anthony Hurley back to The MOG!
