Roger Street Friedman took some time off from music, but he's back with a vengeance. His new album, "Love Hope Trust" is available now and is a great celebration of a great voice with some great songs. The album was produced by Larry Campbell, which can only make things better.

For more information on Roger, check out his website, or follow him on Facebook.

Plus, we discuss our favorite concerts of the year, and what we are musically taking away from 2022.

This week, the legendary trio, BETTY play their annual holiday show in New York. And if that isn't enough, they're on Kickstarter, raising the funds for a brand new album.

We talked with Aly and Elizabeth about so many things, with the holidays and the new record only part of the great conversation.

For more information, you can check out BETTY's website, or get all the links from their linktr.ee page. And, of course, if you want to help them over the finish line, donate a few dollars to get the new record made!

The Dead Milkmen are a one-of-a-kind punk band. How else can you describe them than by saying, "they just sound like the Dead Milkmen?"

We talked with Joe Jack Talcum about the group's upcoming new album, their history and why editing videos for YouTube sucks.

For more information, you can check Jack's website, and for more information on the Dead Milkmen, you can check out their website. Bitchin!

The final notes of Elton John's final show are still ringing out, and we're talking with author Gillian Gaar about her new book, Elton John @ 75.

Elton John @ 75  is available wherever you get your books and you can follow Gillian on Facebook for more information and to see what she's up to.

Sicard Hollow plays a unique and exciting form of bluegrass- something that will appeal to folks who don't think they like bluegrass. We talked with Alex King from the side of the road in Montana about the current tour they're on, the joys of bad high school band names and, of course, Sicard Hollow's new album, Brightest of Days.
