  • Episode 20: Interview with Willie Wisely

    Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with vaudevillian showmanship.

    In his four decades of music making and crowd playing, Wisely has followed the muses of Singer, Guitarist, Producer, Songwriting Collaborator, Composer, and sometimes Clothes Horse. The summer of 2019 marked the release of his  album “Face The Sun” produced by John “Strawberry” Fields who crafted Wisely’s breakthrough 90’s albums “She” and “Turbosherbet”.

     Wisely is also a producer, notably for the young Mark Foster [fosterthepeople.com] (Foster The People), comedian Andy Dick [en.wikipedia.org],  and educator Michael Ryther’s “Kids Of The Earth,” an ambitious new project hailed as “the soundtrack to saving the planet.”

    Currently, Wisely works in acquisitions at Concord [concord.com], where he spent several years on the team managing the estates of Billie Holiday [billieholiday.com] and Tammy Wynette [tammywynette.com].

  • Episode 19: Interview with Dan Zlotnick

    Dan Zlotnick has been called “the Americana voice of Westchester County, New York” because his joyous, warm energy emanates through his songs and performances. After a three-year independent minor league baseball career, Dan began writing and performing original music. A child of classic rock radio who dug deep into folk music in college, Dan half-jokingly claims that Jimmy Page taught him guitar and John Prine taught him lyric-writing. His sound is like the multi-generational family photo hanging on the wall, and his lyrics are like the stories you share with your best friends after a hearty home cooked meal.

     

    Dan has made fans and friends in living rooms, backyards, and small venues around the country, as well as on prestigious stages like Tarrytown Music Hall, Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, Daryl’s House Club, Garcia’s at The Capitol Theatre, Pleasantville Music Festival, and Towne Crier Cafe. He has opened for artists including Drew Holcomb, The Felice Brothers, Marc Cohn, Patty Larkin, Jim Avett, Jessica Lynn, Arlen Roth, and more. Whether it’s a spin of his latest release, an unplugged solo acoustic house concert, a full band rock show, or something in between, Dan Zlotnick’s passion for honest storytelling resonates with everyone who decides to check him out.

    What happens when you wear a nametag twenty-four seven? Even to bed? Just ask Scott Ginsberg. In the beginning, it was just a gimmick to make friends. But soon, his crazy idea didn’t seem so crazy. Scott’s social experiment went viral. Multiple times. And the nametag story has now evolved into an urban legend, world record and a profitable enterprise. Scott has published 57 books, 13 albums under his own record label, 4 full length music films and given TED talk. Scott's also the founder of Prolific, the world's first framework for Personal Creativity Management (PCM).
