With melodies and harmonies evoking some of the best writers in pop music, Peter Block and his band Porter Block have been telling stories about the not-so-simple aspects of life in what you might call ‘middle-aged symphonies to God.’ Porter Block’s new record, Cleaning Up the Living Room is available now. For more information, check them out on Facebook.

This week, we got to talk with the great Arthur Hanlon about his new album, which is also a new special on HBO Max. Piano y Mujer is a celebration of latin music, as Arthur teams up with producer Motiff and five of the best female singers to reinterpret some classics. (We also got Arthur to play for us a little... always a nice bonus.)

For more information, check out Atrhur's website.

This week we're heading on down to the drive-in with John Brennan. John's best known for his role as the music guy on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, but he's written far more music than one show can contain. (But it's all great for your run-on-the-mill mutant.)  On top of his work with Troma, John's got a solo album that just came out called, 'No Offense, None Taken.' He also has a record collecting all of his music from The Last Drive-In (with a wonderful cover).

For more information, check out John's website. And to order a copy, check out the Ship-to-Shore website.

Generations have fallen in love to the music of this week's guest. As one half of the popular duo Air Supply, Graham Russell has written some of the most romantic songs of all time, and brought that music to audiences around the world.

Air Supply is currently on tour and selling out arenas around the world. For more information, you can check out their website here.

Joshua Radin's music comes from deep inside. His songs feel secret and whispered, shared with listeners looking for a connection.

Joshua's new record The Ghost and the Wall is another fascinating study, written and recorded in the time of Covid. We talked with Joshua about his writing process, his recording process and where he goes from here. For more information, you can check out Joshua's website.

Since 1994, Sweet Relief has been dedicated to helping uninsured musicians get the care they need. They've been raising money for this cause from concerts, compilation albums, merchandise sales and, of course, donations.

We talked with Aric Steinberg, the Executive Vice President of Development & Artist Relations about the vital mission of the organization and how the pandemic has only increased the need for musicians all over the world. For more information, or to donate, check out their website.

Kenny Lee Lewis has followed the music his whole life and it's led him down some fascinating roads. From his time creating new parts for guitars in the 1970s, to a decades-long stint with the one and only Steve Miller Band, Kenny has been following the music. For more information, check out his website.

If you want to talk about independence, you want to talk with Cherry Vanilla.

So, this Fourth of July weekend, we're revisiting our conversation with Cherry. We cover all the basics- David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Roger Waters... just your run of the mill conversation with Cherry. For more information on her, check out her website. Her book, Lick Me, is also available in both paperback and as an audio book. We don't want to tell you how to live your life, but the audio is pretty damn fun.

Don't cry for Tag Team's DC Glenn the Brain Supreme. While other musicians try their best to wrestle with their fame, Glenn is looking ahead, trying to find ways to keep rolling on and to keep being successful.

Our talk is fascinating, as we learn about DC's approach to music promotion and how he's been so successful. If DC can't motivate you with his story, no one can. For more information, you can find Tag Team on their website, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. DC Glenn is also on Twitter & Instagram.

Love may be the drug, but music ain't too bad either. That's what we learned while talking with Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera. Phil has collaborated on a new EP with Tim Finn that is out now, and a new album that comes out in July.

We talked about Covid collaboration, debunk a certain popular Roxy Music meme going around, and... is Roxy Music getting back together? For more information on Phil, check out his website.
