Michael brings in guest host Josh Pendergraft this week to talk to Sara, Mark and Daniel of Shadow's Edge. They cover a lot of topics, including the difficulty of breaking into a new music scene, the importance of self-promotion, AOL dial-up internet and a whole lot more. Our recurring theme of how hard it is to find and keep drummers comes up again, and we all swap live concert stories. This was a fun episode to record, and we know you will enjoy it too!

The fellas talk to Freddie and Jerry of the hard-rocking, high-energy heavy metal band Hammer Down about their history, the brotherhood that these guys share and the challenges of balancing family, work and music life. These gentlemen come from a place of love, just like us here at The Rooster, so you know we had a blast getting to know these guys.

Kody and Michael chop it up with Jake and Thomas of Auralayer. These guys are young, but approach their music with the professionalism of seasoned veterans. Their music channels the energy of the classic heavy metal gods. This interview includes a very emotional story behind their song "ShelfBlack" and includes a live version of it. This band that the has potential to become a huge success and we couldn't be more proud to be a part of their journey.

Kody and Michael talk to Andrew Saltz of Salty Dog. Andrew is a proud Cherokee who incorporates the spirit of his heritage in his multi-layers music that is nothing short of a Top 40 sensation! This guy is a young up and comer and needs to be on your radar. 

Kody and Michael bring back old friends Carolina Vibes for a fun discussion about what they have been up to for the last year. With an explosion of new songs in the well and a ton of upcoming dates, the Vibes have been using the shutdown time wisely and are ready to get their music in front of everybody as things begin to open up again. Stick around all the way through to hear two separate live acoustic performances of their new songs "Say OK" and "Rainy Day"

Kody and Michael hop on to Zoom to chat with one of country music's hottest up and coming stars. Jarret recently signed a new deal that has provided him with worldwide distribution of his music, has several endorsements and is primed for skyrocketing career. We are very fortunate to have this hard-working, talented young man on the show and we encourage you to check out his music and enjoy the interview!

Kody and Michael chop it up with an old friend of the show, Allan Bingham (drums) and frontwoman Taryn Carpenter (vocals) of local Symphonic Metal group Lilith Rising. This is a jam-packed episode with a lot of fun content, including a new trend we plan to start.....#haikuchallenge

The "Shout Out" Episode! Our first interview with a local hip hop artist, and it is a good one! We debut Betti Boof's new single "Tuesday" and talk with him about his process, inspiration and life as an artist during Covid. You definitely don't want to miss this episode! 

Kody and Michael chat with Pedro, Joe and Randy, three veteran musicians that have a passion for music that match ours. We talk about the proper way to eat a banana, which is harder to do, music or stand up and Randy expresses his love for The Greatful Dead.
