After knowing Dom for a great portion of my life, it was fun to learn more about his band Wicked Garden debut album Post Dystopian Leisure Music. We had some great laughs...a ton of technical issues (that we worked through and I didn't get to discuss because of the time length of the show). So take a listen and enjoy!

Check out my Track Chat with composer and all-around great guy, Ben DeGennaro.
Ben has been the bassist for local NJ Cover Band, The Benjamins with his brother Joe for the past 20 years. We discuss The Benjamins and his inspirations for the creation of his solo musical releases of Gemini Mind. In my mind, if you like Jimmy Eat World, Breaking Benjamins and some loud aggressive guitars with sometimes a light side to it, then you will love both the Gemini Mind releases. You can find them on Spotify or at iTunes https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gemini-mind/1244213474.

Talented songwriter/rock vocalist Ray West’s career has been much like his music - melodic, soulful and psychotic! Hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts are well familiar with his raspy and raw, yet strong and distinctive, vocal style. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, West’s father turned him on to all genres of music from soul to rock and roll. Growing up, Ray became influenced by such celebrated bands like Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Humble Pie, Judas Priest and Santana and the singing styles of notable greats including James Brown, Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson.
After singing in numerous bands while living in Ft. Lauderdale, West moved to New York City. Soon after, he joined Spread Eagle. They were signed to MCA/Universal and the band burst upon the music scene rather quickly, playing an explosive brand of rock that came straight from living in New York City’s infamous Lower East Side. Their self-titled debut album featured wailing vocals and razor-sharp guitar demonstrated through such popular songs as "Switchblade Serenade," "Scratch Like A Cat” and “Broken City." The band acquired worldwide critical acclaim, propelling them to the forefront of the genre. They then released and toured with their second album, "Open to the Public." While life on the road had its moments, West needed to reassess his life. After leaving the limelight for a few years, his love of performing brought him right back to his passion, which is singing. An accomplished performer in other arenas, West has also done theatre and stand-up comedy and was currently a cast member of the off-Broadway Gypsy rock underground comedy hit "Viva Patshiva!”For most of his career, West has shared his gift by teaching voice, which he started doing during his Spread Eagle days. He has created two rock courses, "Grit to Aggression" and "Melody to Madness," helping students learn his unique vocal style.West recently finished recording his new album with his band APW, aka All Points West, with producer Miguel “Nino” Gonzalez. The album was released in October 2009. The track “Novacaine” was heard on USA Network’s new TV series, “Burn Notice,” and will be heard on FX Channel’s "Sons of Anarchy" this coming November 2009. The track will also be in a new independent movie, "Paper Man." The song "Hypothermia" is featured in the new BRAAP film, "Narly 9." Additionally, the songs "Crash," "Got my Gun," and "No State of Grace" are all going to be featured in the new "Crusty Demons" film.All Points West has gained a great following in the hard rock and metal club scene. They’ve played a plethora of live shows this year alone, including gigs at Don Hill’s in Manhattan, Dingbatz in New Jersey and the Flushing Library in Queens.---This episode is sponsored by· Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app1 hr - The Fredee Show #10 - Lauren Davidson

Small in stature, but big on inner strength, Lauren has been described as “an early Patsy Cline or Linda Ronstadt; with that, I can do this myself attitude" (Audio Fuzz Magazine) and “the most underrated female artist” (Digital Journal). And do it herself she certainly has, as her extensive credits playing shows and concerts with many of country music's biggest acts can attest to.
One of Lauren’s greatest joys is being on stage and performing and collaborating with other musicians. She comes from a musical family, singing and performing with her father since childhood and later writing songs together. She continues to co-write with him today in addition to working with other established and up-and-coming writers on the country music scene.
Lauren is inspired by artists of many different genres including Contemporary Country, Rock, and Pop. She burst onto the country music scene and has become a popular and loved name where she has carved out a niche as an established singer-songwriter. Lauren frequently travels to Nashville and immerses herself in the music city scene as both a performing artist and a songwriter.This Country artist consistently gives fans a polished and high-energy show and plays live extensively in top-tier venues, both locally in NYC/NJ and around the country. Lauren has shared the stage with such notable Country Music Acts such as Old Dominion, LOCASH, Carly Pearce, Justin Moore and veterans Rodney Adkins and The Marshall Tucker Band, among many others.
Lauren’s latest release, "Soaking Up Every Second" was released to critical acclaim earlier this year with features on Taste of Country, Popdust, Whiskey Riff & Spotify's New Music Nashville to name a few. Lauren has been described as "one of the most underrated female artists" (Digital Journal). She also kicked off the year singing the National Anthem at Madison Square Garden for the Sold Out 2019 PBR tour.
When you think Lauren Davidson, you’ll hear Alanis Morissette with a splash of Carrie Underwood, Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin and more. She embodies a sound that is truly and uniquely her own.
