After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, and became a father, and while he eventually returned to the business he’d founded, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014, he recorded his third album, Two Truths and a Lie, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station, where icons like Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie and Bob Dylan had recorded).
Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold, Pete Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save, renovate, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019’s Dissolve and 2022’s Spaces—there, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Tayler, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux.
His newest album More Time, Pete Muller has harnessed this passion and infused it into his most striking and bold set of songs to date and the focus of our discussion today.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pete Muller’s newest album More Time was recorded in Memphis with producer/engineer
Matt Ross-Spang, the collaboration with Muller is apparent across the entire record. Together they crafted a collection of a looser, grittier slice of rock and soul without sacrificing the open-hearted, expansive nature of Pete’s songwriting. No less prominent is the all-star band assembled for the sessions, including celebrated bassist Dave Smith (Al Green, Wilson Pickett), famed Texas guitarist Will Sexton (Joe Ely, Roky Erickson), Memphis organist Rick Steff (Lucero, Cat Power), longtime Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, and a host of local legend horn players and background vocalists.
Pete Muller’s album More Time is exactly what it gives the listener. More time to enjoy the authentic vocals and sounds that come from real musicians bringing sheet music to life.
His collections of songs has something for everyone. If you rock, soul, blues, jazz, easy listening, then your ears will be filled with joy and put a smile on your face.
You find his new album More Time on Spotify so check it out.

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer Buck Johnson. He is the keyboardist and backing vocalist for the legendary rock band Aerosmith, The Hollywood Vampires and The Joe Perry Project. He currently on tour with Ringo Starr.
As a versatile entertainer, Buck’s artistry encompasses American rock and roll with a unique soulful flare that comes from his gospel roots creating a sound and style of his own.
Buck releases his highly anticipated album Tongue and Groove. The album is a rock and roll experience with the soulful depth of a seasoned storyteller. Packed with blistering guitar riffs, haunting melodies, and lyrics that cut to the bone, Tongue and Groove is a fearless tribute to resilience, drawing its strength from the timeless concept of the “tongue and groove” woodworking joint—a symbol of enduring connection and strength against life's fiercest storms.
Ladies and gentlemen, Tongue and Groove is a collection of songs Buck had co-written with lifelong collaborators such as Charlie Midnight (James Brown, Joe Cocker, Joni Mitchell), and was self-produced by Buck.
The album showcases the roots-rock voice of Buck (“the tongue”) with his classic rock production (“the groove”).
Buck enlisted talented musicians and friends on the album, including guitarists Damon Johnson (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, Brother Cane), Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Rob McNelley (Bob Seger), drummer Nick Buda (Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney), and bassist Ted Pecchio (Susan Tedeschi).

My guest today is Jeff Allen who has been a working comedian for five decades, and his work has been featured on America’s Got Talent, Dry Bar Comedy, HBO, Comedy Central, and even on TBN and CBN.
He can be heard regularly on SiriusXM’s comedy channels, as well as Pandora and Spotify. His videos have surpassed 400 million views on Facebook, YouTube and other digital media. Many of you may have seen him perform at some of the Gaither’s Praise Gatherings too.
With his new book and his tour ARE WE THERE YET?, Jeff Allen drives home the humor of everyday family life, the ups and downs of marriage, the challenge of raising children, the bliss of the empty nest, and the joys of being a grandparent.
Ladies and gentlemen, for years, one of the funniest men in America was crying on the inside, Jeff Allen was a comedian with the lead role in a tragedy.
Jeff fell into substance abuse at an early age, and his problems didn’t magically go away when he got married. In fact, with the arrival of two children, they intensified. The sense that his life was meaningless made his family life as dark and biting as his comedy.
But in his darkest moment, an unlikely encounter with the gloomiest book of the Bible set him on the path to salvation. The line of Ecclesiastes, “Meaningless, meaningless, all in life is meaningless” - resonated with him.
So he kept reading, and soon found that Jesus wasn’t a religion, but He was Savior who loved him right where he was at. And many times that’s at the bottom so the only direction you can look is up.
If you have struggled to find meaning in your life, this book is for you.
With his trademark humor and unflinching honesty, Jeff will point you to the only One who can answer the question, “Are we there yet?”
So I end with one of the most famous prayers ever written.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
