Musician and entrepreneur Chanell “Tubafresh” Crichlow and social worker Lindsay Slay were introduced by a mutual friend in the NYC queer scene. Five years forward, they’ve exchanged vows and play together in a soul band. In the premiere episode of the Love & Relationships MedCab subseries, Lindsay and Chanell lay out how they’ve navigated culture clashes and gender roles (simply put, respectively) as a co-working team.

The Patriot Brass Ensemble was born out of the simple notion that veterans deserve to be honored with live, professional music. Founder Steven Benke enthusiastically explains on The Medicine Cabinet Podcast how his nice idea became a national network and nonprofit organization. Listeners will be inspired by his advocacy spirit and twist on altruism. Musicians in particular will be reassured as Benke talks unionization—history has shown, Benke’s ideas get actualized.

Anthony Barfield was raised on a Mississippi farm. Dr. Orrin M. Wilson hails from neighboring state Louisiana. Presently based in NYC, both are Black, classically trained musicians with enviable resumes in music performance and education, who now make beats for pop artists. Listen in as Velocity Music explains to the #MedCab how they apply a 20th Century thinker’s “mastermind alliance” principle to their business.

How many classical musicians can you name off the top of your head? (We know you thought of Yo Yo Ma, who currently has 112k followers on Instagram. Drew “That Viola Kid” Ford has over 120k).

How? Sure, he’s a talented violist, but that alone wouldn’t make him stand out at his alma mater Juilliard, or even with his post-graduate resume that includes playing on the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XII and alongside Cee Lo and Kendrick Lamar. Listen with The Medicine Cabinet Podcast as TVK explains how he’s funneled his array of skills, perspective and well, charisma into building his social media empire.

The Medicine Cabinet Podcast returns for a second season with harpist-scholar Dr. Ashley Jackson. A “Jackson” of many comprehensive and time consuming trades, her greatest dilemma is which pursuit comes first. Write a book? Record an album? Listeners will be moved by what drives her to be the best as she humbly articulates why she shows up to rehearsal an hour early to tune her instrument in absolute silence and the importance of looking your best. The first lady featured on our podcast—and unquestionably the most sophisticated person in the room—Action Jackson takes the Med Cab’s clumsiness in stride, but doesn’t miss a thing.

Juliette Jones and her partner Jarvis Benson are instrumentalists who’ve provided the string section for ‪Aretha Franklin‬’s commemoration of Nelson Mandela at the 2014 BET Honors, and creatively partnered with Red Bull Studios NY, Red Bull Studios NY, Beats by Dre, VH1 and Interscope Records. But at their core, their company Rootstock Republic is invested in a deeper legacy: building supportive spaces for string-players of color to follow in their footsteps. Juliette breaks down their vision and strategies to the #MedCab hosts and Jarvis introduces us to teaching techniques that employ “adaptable pedagogy.”
