Rooted In Podcast

Pour in the Alley's Erica Bell sits down with Jerad from Vesta Coffee where we learn a little history on The Arts District, how Jerad was a web developer before becoming a roaster, and how coffee merch and design plays a big part of this new Coffee Culture we are all fans of. 

Be sure to wait for the little surprise we have for you at the end of the episode on what you can look forward to from Pour in the Alley!

Erica from Pour in the Alley got a chance to sit down with Josh where he told us the importance of working directly with the farmers. The farmers are working hard in remote areas of Colombia to get the best beans and to perfect the art of roasting. He describes the process as “beautiful and complex” with the end result being so simple.

“…what people go through for others to enjoy a quality cup of coffee is incredible.”

They have big things planned for 2021 and want to bring back in-person cupping events, but first, he wants Take it Easy to really focus on producing the most perfect product for consumers. While he aligns himself with being #rootedinfamily, he says Take it Easy is #rootedincraftsmanship and we couldn't agree more.

Thank you for subscribing to our Coffee Club, and we cannot wait to see you next month!

Named The "Soul Child" by COACHELLA Magazine, R&B/Soul singer Cam Calloway has a spirit & energy that is reminiscent of Motown & classic Soul music. "His voice has never been formally trained, which works to the benefit of his uplifting and heartfelt tunes, all of which radiate with warmth and authenticity." - AFROPUNK Magazine.

He has performed and shared the stage with Grammy Winning Recording Artist Mya. Calloway has also opened for international touring acts like Allen Stone, Emily King, The Internet, Mayer Hawthorne, Dru Hill, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, and The Stone Foxes.

The soul singer graced the stage at the 5th annual Life Is Beautiful Music Festival, where he shared the festival bill with global chart topping acts like Chance The Rapper, Lorde, Muse, Gorillaz, Blink 182 and many more!

"My Neighborhood" is Calloway's Debut release which features his leading single "Supernatural". It's a collection of 5 songs that gives you a glimpse into his world, a world that celebrates self love, unity and gratitude while at the same time acknowledging corruption & fear.

Sonia Barcelona is both a musician & photographer. Named Best of Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Weekly & Desert Companion, Sonia has opened for the likes of Japanese Breakfast, SALES, Deap Vally, and Pearl Charles. She has been featured on VICE TV, Fox5, and ABC networks.

After a few years performing at open mics, the desire to further pursue music became apparent. She would quit her job in 2016 to become a full-time artist. Her 2019 debut album "Bitter Melon" brings a new and bigger sound reflective of her 90s grunge rock influences. Her single “Indian Girl” speaks to her Indian & Filipino heritage.

We got a chance to sit down with Jesse Pino who is a musician and singer-songwriter from Las Vegas, NV who started making music & playing in bands in 1998. In 2010, Jesse decided to step out on his own and pursue his own creativity. Comfortable with a full band, or just an acoustic guitar in hand, he continues to craft his own signature blend. Check out his full Jam Unplugged release this Friday, November 20th, 2020!

Nidia Martinez is a Vegas raised alternative r&b singer/songwriter. After graduating from Las Vegas Academy in 2016, she has performed solo and along side local bands at venues such as Brooklyn Bowl, The Foundation Room, Fergusons Downtown, and Downtown Container Park. Her music is heavily influenced by her personal experiences and interactions with the world around her.

Rhaina Yasmin is an indie rock songwriter who brings ambient guitar sounds and evocative lyricism by way of portraying imagery of nature, along with indie pop melody lines. The Las Vegas based musician stems from past nostalgia and raw emotion to soar through her stories conversationally, and often leading into heavier sound waves. Rhaina released her debut single 'Garden Party' in October of 2019, a song that reflects the humanness and nature of longing.

"I hope to collab with as many other artists as I can."

This week we have Jess Pinot on Jam Unplugged! Get to know her before her episode drop this Friday, October 30th!

If you've watched all of our Jam Unplugged episodes, you've probably seen Jeremy Elises make an appearance more than once. That's because Jeremy is a jack of all trades, not just with how many instruments he  plays but he also is a producer, engineer, creative and a business man!

We were so excited to have Jeremy on so you could get to the know the guy who has been there for our Jam artists and who is making some pretty incredible things happen in the community around music.

We hope you enjoy!
