Rocky Mountain Revival

"Dying is easy, comedy is hard." Ain't it the truth. This episode features the uproarious Bill Dixon, the comedy radiodrama spoof "Dog Walk Empire" and flash fiction from Nancy Stohlman and Kona Morris.

This episode is all about one terribly talented writer, musician and artist. You will hear the Fox saga from Nancy Stohlman's flash fiction collection The Vixen Scream and Other Bible Stories. To top things off, Kinky Mink, Nancy's 80's metal hair band lounge group, will serenade you with "Go to Hell My Love".

Flash fiction is the novel condensed into a poem; it is the left jab of literature. This episode features flash fiction from Nancy Stohlman, Kona Morris, Jack C. Buck and the host Levi Andrew Noe. Our musical guest is the one, the only Eye and the Arrow, with members of Paper Bird. They're a psychedlic rock, country-blues, indie-rock infused trio, and just you try and define them.

Poetry, Poetry and more poetry. Poets include: Sean Michael Wilson, Nancy Stohlman, Joshua Robert Long, Abigail Mott and Tovio Roberts. The music weaving this episode together is The Way Birds Are from the album Lava Lava. A very special musical treat will be revealed at the end, which may or may not be the new Rocky Mountain Revival theme song. We're not giving anything away...

In which Griffith James Snyder of up and coming band Inner Oceans discusses his long, fruitful, and sometimes toilsome musical history. We listen to four songs from different eras of Griff's music, we talk about the muse and the harnessing of that great, ghastly "ghost" of art and inspiration. Lots of name dropping occurs. Griff consumes 1.5 beers and Levi partakes of 2 fermented beverages.

"Yume" written by Levi Andrew Noe is a speculative fiction thriller of revenge, destiny and the reality of one man's dream. Set in a near-future Tokyo, "Yume" will keep you on the edge of your seat and may or may not leave you with a hankering for green tea ice cream.

Born in Denver, realized in Tokyo, Shibuya Terminal is the obsessive outpouring of music from Pierce Murphy. With a voice steeped in pounk and indie rock but educated by the jazz tradition, he creates a passionate sound with sharp lyrics and intricate arrangements.

teeped in punk and indie rock but educated by the jazz tradition, he creates a passionate sound with sharp lyrics and intricate arrangements.

A short story by JC Hemphill about a close, almost, encounter. A raw, rootsy song from singer/songwriter and road dog, Slum Pickns.

A short story from writer and poet, River Wharton. A song from alt-folk band King Cardinal.

The very first poetry episode from Rocky Mountain Revival. We have poems from Tameca Coleman, Eleanor Perry-Smith, Dwight Vernon Forcey, Kathleen Cain, Deb Carpenter-Nolting, Nahshon Cook and Levi Andrew Noe. Ridiculously special musical guest is musician and composer Tom Hagerman, best known for his multi-instrumentalist works with Devotchka. This is an episode you will not want to miss.

Cadence is a surreal, dreamy, in betweeny kind of short story by Levi Andrew Noe. It dives deep into the blurry lines between the conscious and unconscious, dreaming and lucidity and one woman's struggle for freedom. Salads and Sunbeams will give you something to groove to. They have a style that will remind you that rock and roll is not dead, it just traveled into other dimensions to find itself again.
