Jerry's Middle Finger founder, Rodney Newman, reflects on Bill Walton's endorsing the band - as he did on on the Dan Le Betard show, revealing that discovering Jerry's Middle Finger at age 70 has given him " the chance of a full and complete life." Listen to the full episode for more surprises and green room fun with the entire band!

Take a ride with hosts Dennis Strazulo, Tami Larson, and “Augie” on their  journey visiting with Jerry’s Middle Finger, the masterful band recreating the music of The Jerry Garcia Band. Broken up into three parts, the episode features band members talking about the origin of JMF, experiences playing at the famed Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA, and their joyful and love-filled road to gaining notoriety, uplifted by the endorsement of NBA legend Bill Walton after the band’s appearance at the Skull & Roses music festival.  Interviews were recorded at The Mystic Theater in Petaluma, CA and Sweetwater, and all reference the wonderful Andy Logan and Grateful Guitars Foundation for generously donating guitars contributing to the magic of JMF. This episode is dedicated to co-host Agustin “Augie” Oropeza who sadly passed before its release. RIP Augie!

Tales from the Greenroom Special Edition (Sweetwater Music Hall's 50th Anniversary Series)

Mount Tam Media is thrilled to launch its Tales From the Green Room Podcast with a special series of episodes celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California. The roster of artists that have crowded onto the club's little stages, first at the original Sweetwater location two blocks away, and now at the new location which opened in 2013, reads like a Who's Who of roots & rock music: Bob Weir, Aaron Neville, Big Mama Thornton, Carlos Santana, Elvis Costello, Etta James, Greg Allman, Van Morrison… the list of musical luminaries is endless. In the 80's, the Times of London hailed Sweetwater as one of the best nightclubs in America and the legacy continues!  Mount Tam Media has been granted special access to Sweetwater’s green room during the venue’s 50th anniversary year to interview musicians, photographers, managers and the like, and capture their favorite moments and memories, preserving the untold secrets of what has graced these hallowed walls for half a century, before they are lost forever.

Episode 1: Famed Rock & Roll Photographer Jay Blakesberg

It is only fitting this series is kicked-off by presenting an interview with a person who is just as home in green rooms as  most musicians - famed rock and roll photographer, Jay Blakesberg. Join the podcast as Jay recounts the events of many great Sweetwater moments, but one in particular in 1989 you absolutely don’t want to miss.
