  • Gene Casey's Roots-Rock Music Captivating Fans on an Adventurous Journey

    Gene Casey's Roots-Rock Music Captivating Fans on an Adventurous Journey. In this episode your host Steve Yusko get you acquainted with Gene Casey, the artist behind some fantasitc Alt-Country Music. Ā 

    GeneĀ  formed the Lone Sharks, ā€œthe house band of the Hamptons,ā€ where bars were plentiful and audiences – both the local and the celebrated – were robust and loyal. Over the course of the next few decades Gene and the evolving line-up of Sharks ā€œplayed – and tore up – every roadhouse, bar, and honky tonk from Manhattan to Montaukā€ (Bop Magazine), sharing the bill and backing legendary roots rock & roll acts as Wanda Jackson, the Band, Bo Diddley, Sleepy LaBeef, NRBQ, and the Ventures.

    Gene’s original music met with great acclaim with local and international indie radio play. Several of his roots-drenched songs have been used in ā€œA Prairie Home Companionā€ and on the soundtracks to television and feature films, including ā€œJustifiedā€ and ā€œSons of Anarchyā€ ; the 2012 thriller ā€œThe Tall Manā€ starring Jessica Biel, the 2013 release ā€œThe Killing Seasonā€ starring Robert DeNiro, and Rob Reiner’s ā€œBeing Charlie.ā€

    In 2014 Gene and the Lone Sharks were inducted into the Dan’s Papers ā€œBest of the Bestā€ Hall of Fame, having been honored over 20 times.Ā  received the Long Island Sound Award by the L.I. Music Hall of Fame, ā€œfor contributions to the Island’s musical landscape.ā€

    2017 saw the release of ā€œGuitar In The Rainā€ an album celebrating the roots of contemporary Americana with original songs that evoke the romantic sweep of 60s pop, classic C&W and the raw untamed spirit of early rock & roll.

    2020 brings ā€œFree Country: Essential Recordingsā€ a compilation of some of the best songs culled from 20 years ofĀ  work, as well asĀ  a unique arrangement of the public domain standard, ā€œHome on the Rangeā€ where all of Gene’s influences and obsessions seem to converge.

  • Gregory Dwane - How to Successfully Navigate Tumultuous Times

    How to Successfully Navigate Tumultuous Times in the Music Industry with Gregory Dwane. In this episode you'll hear from Gregory Dwane, a successful industry veteran who has managed the twists and turns of the music industry. Starting out from a rural town in North Carolina to Nashville and finally working the music studios in New York city. This Singer/Songwriter can be discribed as Alt-Country and he has so many stories to tell. We'll hear three of his songs as we learn some great skills for musicians and singer/songwriters to navigate the tumultuous waters of the music business today. Find Gregory Dwane's Spotify List here

    Gregory Dwane is a lifer. From his humble beginnings in rural North Carolina to eventually touring around the world as a tech and his recent work as producer for Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, Dwane has seen many facets of the music industry first-hand.Ā  An in-the-pocket rhythm section, some smoking electric guitar and fiddle, and some classic rock riffs for good measure, all amount to an infectious debut that’s as refreshing as it is retro.An interest in recording engineering inspired Dwane to relocate from his home near Trinity, N.C. to New York in the early ā€˜90s, which eventually led to his producing records and playing in punk bands. Ten years later, amid the crashing and burning that hit after years of alcohol abuse, a phone call to a friend and former manager who was working with Alanis Morrisette ended up being a lifeline. Dwane hightailed it to LA and joined Morrisette’s road crew as a keyboard tech, a serendipitous move that suddenly changed his trajectory in a major way. ā€œI went from thinking my world was over to touring the world,ā€ Dwane recalls. The Alanis gig led to tech work with Dave Navarro and Macy Gray, and eventually to getting sober. ā€œThat opened up my whole world,ā€ he says, as it opened new doors to work with like-minded sober musicians, including a Sony record deal with the band Mellowdrone, which he joined as bassist.

    Shortly thereafter, an unexpected entry into fatherhood led him to look for more stable employment. Enter friend Michael Fitzpatrick (of Fitz and the Tantrums), who introduced him to jingle writing, which he ended up doing for the next 15 years, a period that also saw him producing two albums for Amy Ray and working with others in the riot grrrl / queercore scene (Kaia Wilson of Team Dresch, The Butchies, and more). Despite the healthy paychecks, eventually he burned out on jingle writing and music in general, as he explains, ā€œit’s a hard way to make a living … a fully produced song practically every day for 15 years.ā€ Dwane left the music industry completely — at least as far as making a living — and instead took up fine art painting, which led him to launch a small gallery in Brooklyn.Ā

  • How to Create Amazing Community in a Rock Choir with Tony Lechner & Rock Voices

    How to Create Amazing Community in a Rock Choir with Tony Lechner & Rock Voices.
    Rock Voices sets up Community Choirs who sing Rock Music.Ā  In this episode we unpack this great program, which establishes choirs in communities with no audtion for amatures to bring their voices to life!
    Tony Lechner is the founder who took this idea and ran with it. After ten years in the making, surviving the Covid Quarintine, this a great story for us to unpack.
    Our mission statement is ā€œhealing ourselves and others through songā€.

    Studies have shown that the sound and sensation of singing in a room with other people works a special kind of magic on us all, including improved mood, focus, deep breathing, social support, cognitive stimulation, and more. Read on to learn how to be part of this amazing experience!

    Can anyone join Rock Voices?
    Yes! Anyone 18+ can join. You don’t have to read music; you don’t have to audition to join (but if you want a solo, we hold auditions for those once the season is underway). Just look for a choir near you by going to our enrollment site and once you’ve found a location, follow the instructions for enrolling and paying. You can also just enroll, and hold off on payment until you’ve attended three rehearsals: we want you to experience this and make sure it’s right for you!

    How does this work?
    The choir meets for about 12 weeks, rehearsing more songs each week in preparation for a live concert, complete with a live, professional rock band.Ā  At last, you get to actually BE a rockstar!!Ā 

    Still not sure? That’s okay. Just use our online system to enroll, and hold off on payment until you’ve decided. This way we’ll know how much sheet music to print out, and you’ll receive any emails your director sends out prior to the first night of rehearsals.

  • Josie Bello Conquering Cantankerous Divide with Hopeful Folk Music

    Conquering Cantankerous Divide with Hopeful Folk Music by Josie Bello
    Folk Singer/Songwriter joins our host Steve Yusko for an engaging conversation about the power of music, the divide in our nation and her rise on the music scene as a self-proclaimed, "Late-bloomer".Ā  We explore three of songs and learn about ways to further expose original music in our world.
    Josie Bello has been musical from an early age. She would often walk around the house, humming or singing some tune she had formed in her head, so frequently that her mother would ask her to "please pipe down".Ā 

    Growing up in Queens, NY, it is no surprise that her musical hero is Bruce Springsteen - an artist she wishes she could channel into her own songwriting at times. But then again, doesn’t every songwriter want… need... to channel ā€œThe Boss.ā€Ā 

    Josie's writing process is spontaneous, at times a phrase or chord progression that gets written down only to sit for a time, until the moment is right. Other times it comes in a rush, allowing her to grab the inspiration of the moment and run with it.Ā 

    In the past few years, she’s recorded and released two albums with songwriter and producer, Mike Nugent.Ā 

    It is her desire that her music can provide you with a simple respite from the troubles of the day or, if nothing else, the simple joy that music holds.

  • Damn Tall Buildings-Bluegrass Music

    Damn Tall Buildings Independently Release Their 3rd Album,Ā  due out Sept 9Ā 

    Ā Brooklyn, NY — Acoustic Americana trio fed on bluegrass, roots rock, old time, and vintage swing, Damn Tall Buildings are excited to release their 3rd album, Sleeping Dogs, on September 9. Whether sharing lead vocals and instrumental solos or blending their voices into loose, joyous harmony, the three members of Damn Tall Buildings—multi-instrumentalist and primary lyricist Max Capistran (guitar and banjo), bassist Sasha Dubyk, and fiddler Avery Ballotta—delight in entertaining. Sleeping Dogs is a sensory treat that will have you smiling, dancing, and singing along.

    Ā Sleeping Dogs is a bop about looking things smack-dab-right-in-the-face and is essentially about how it has become almost impossible to not be constantly influenced by current events, media, and all of the other things that surround you in your day-to-day life. ā€œSnow Crashā€ by Neal Sephenson—a bizarre, mind-altering romp through the infocalypse— is high on the band's reading list. Damn Tall Buildings says, ā€œThe impact that things outside ourselves have on us, specifically, the rise of social media and all that comes with it, leads to an exponential increase of people’s awareness of other people’s lives, and how that affects them and how they feel about their life.ā€

    The trio is individually from all over the United States (New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Montana), but were born as a band while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in 2013. They started as buskers on Newbury Street in Boston, started touring nationally, and then moved the band to Brooklyn in 2017.

  • David Noyes & How to find Great Joy & Balance with Music & Creativity

    David Noyes is a true sage of the music industry here on Long Island.Ā  Join us in conversation as we unlock the secrets to success in the music business and navigat the waters of balance between giging and life.
    I gathered some great inspiration from my time with David.Ā  You'll get to hear some of his original music as well as stories of his journey in the business.Ā 
    David Noyes has been "playing about town" for decades since he was a teen from Manhattan and then growing up in East Hampton.Ā  David managed a musical career while exploring his art with the band "Cadillac Moon".Ā  Here's his bandmate Al and his take on the early success of the band: In the big-screen thriller, ā€œDevil’s Advocate,ā€ the band ā€œCadillac Moonā€ makes a special appearance as the house band and performs one of its original numbers.

    The Cadillac Moon lineup includes Rich Campbell, keyboards; Cliff Hackford,
    Ā drums; Mike Nugent, guitar; Santoriello, vocals; and David Noyes, bass.
    Tonight’s show will be the group’s second performance this year at the Road’s
    End. Santoriello says the band got the ā€œDevil’s Advocateā€ gig when the
    musicians union in New York, Local 802, was notified that the film’s director
    needed a rock band. ā€œThe cool part,ā€ says Cadillac Moon vocalist Al Santoriello, reflecting on
    the film shoot, ā€œis that we got to play our own song. (Show Me Your Tattoo)
    Ā  Ā 
    ā€œThey asked us to prepare a version of Robert Johnson’s `Crossroads’- which
    we did. Then, as I’m sitting there on the movie set, the director got a phone
    call, and it was someone at Warner Brothers saying there was a legal
    entanglement with the song. I heard him say, `OK, I guess we’ll let the band
    play their own song. Ā  ā€œIt really was fantastic.ā€Connect with The Long Island Sound Podcast

  • Inspiring Music of Toby Tobias

    How To Navigate Tumultuous Seas with the Hopeful Inspiring Music of Toby Tobias
    Toby Tobias
    Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Huntington Station N.Y. based Toby Tobias has immersed himself in many American music genres while never leaving behind his roots in the rhythms and melodies of his homeland. Toby is excited to be bringing his brand of African-infused American Global Music to the ears of listeners with some of Long Island's best and most accomplished musicians.
    Reviews:
    "Putting politics and the problems of Africa aside, this is a brilliantly put-together album of quality musicianship and songs each with their own identity and style all from a man who has not forgotten his life and musical roots. As they would say in Zambia (Bemba), "Zikomo" Toby."

    – Rory Stanbridge, FATEA Magazine UK

    "Tobias' palpable love of Africa informs the whole CD in a way that is powerful and moving. Though the album shows the traces of his musical background and influences - which is as it should be - it also sounds very fresh. That's a pretty rare achievement in music today."

    REACH OUT

    2017 Brand new ep from THE TOBY TOBIAS ENSEMBLE With Mike Nugent, Cosmo Mallardi, Jon Mele, and Richie Guerrero....The sound of Africa comes through loud and clear in the EP which gives a wonderful taster introduction to Toby's style of music."
