Episode 116 of the Rochester Groovecast Podcast in a Re-Stream of Rochester Groovecast founder, Ben Albert, featured on the Afternoon Cocktail Talk show!

Afternoon Cocktail Talk Show is a wellness-based show featuring live performances and candid interviews with National and International Singer-songwriters, entrepreneurs, and various noteworthy causes. Through a collection of perspectives, Afternoon Cocktail delivers inspirational, educational, and thought-provoking entertainment that encourages awareness, self-care, kindness, and mental wellness.

In episode 56 of Afternoon Cocktail, “Facing The Music,” Afternoon Cocktail host, Amanda Ashley interviews Courtney Whitehead of Bison Bone, and Ben Albert of Rochester Groovecast.

Bison Bone Biography:

“Bison Bone is an Americana Rock and Roll band from Denver, CO.

Bison Bone is a little bit country, a little bit rock & roll, and fully led by the boisterous singer/songwriter Courtney Whitehead. The veneer of their “Americana Rock & Roll band” description doesn’t seem to phase the group, as is apparent in their newest album, Find Your Way Out. Whitehead has unabashedly embraced the spirit of the aforementioned term, almost to the point of mockery. The Denver-based band seems fully aware of the connotations surrounding surface level labels and uses it to their advantage by tricking listeners into thinking they are listening to something they are not. It would be easy to think Bison Bone is just another simplistic Americana band, but this is not the case. – Bandwagon Mag 2020

He doesn’t need to name the struggle behind that contentment; it’s there in the semisweet melody and the band’s fine-sandpaper roots-rock grit, a package that recalls Tom Petty or The Wallflowers. – The All Scene Eye 2020

Courtney Whitehead (Vocals/Guitar), Brianna Straut (Vocals/Tambo), Wolf Van Elfmand (Lead Guitar/vocals), Adam Stern (Pedal Steel/Lead Guitar), Tony Piscotti (Bass), Adam Blake (drums).” – www.bisonebone.com

In episode 113, Ben chats with Friday In America's Ben Rossi.

"With a range of influences spanning from The Band to The Roots, Friday in America fuse elements of folk, rock, reggae, and hip hop. The result is a menagerie of musical styles - from the heavy rock and funk arrangements of songs like "Hitman" to the stripped-down folk of "Water". In 2011, the band released their first full length album "Cut the Brakes", and had the track "Water" featured in the closing scene of the AFI-Fest award-winning film The Hammer, which told the true story of deaf UFC fighter Matt Hamill.

The album's rock and folk arrangements have garnered comparisons to artists like Jack Johnson and Bruce Springsteen, and have received regular rotation on shows like Scott Regan's "Open Tunings" (NPR). The band's love of all music and their ability to write and play across numerous mediums makes for a unique concert experience. They have opened for acts like Max Creek, Ekoostik Hookah, and the Ryan Montbleau Band, and are constantly fusing their disparate influences in a groove-oriented framework."
