If you missed the debut of Snoloha Radio recently on The Shore, here it is in all it's glory for you to download and listen to at your leisure.

Our friend Rod Call, the creator and chief cheerleading officer of the "Snoloha" brand plays some of his favorite trop rock tunes and tells you why they are his favorites. Not bad for a newbie and he definitely won't be one for long... a newbie that is.

So take a listen here and listen to The Shore for the latest episodes before they come here to the archive.

As aired on The Shore in November of 2012, Don Da Pyrate Interviews Davey Werkhiser, aka Werkey about his new disc, "Cooler by The Sea" and the stories behind the songs.

Seems like as long as there's been official Parrot Heads, there's been Jeff Pike. The Original, Official Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band A1A has been tearing it up for years and contributing their own original songs to the Trop Rock lexicon. JimmyPirate talks to Jeff about the past, present and future of A1A, movies, record contracts the beginning of inspiration and why A1A WON'T be at MOTM this year... Buckle your seat belts, this is a long one...

We had a great conversation with Andy Forsyth, a MM member and author who is putting the finishing touches on his newest book "Trop Rock Songs: Stories and Tales as told by the Singer/Songwriters" Andy interviewed literally dozens of Trop Rock songwriters, getting the inspirations and "research" behind hundreds of your favorite Trop Rock songs. Host JimmyPirate talks to Andy about what he had to go through to get all these interviews, some of his favorite stories, Andy picks a few of his favorite Trop Rock songs and we play them and we talk about the debut of the book at this year's MOTM.

The Margarita Mafia Artist of The Month Podcast for July 2011

This month we visit with a man that we've had the pleasure of speaking with on many occasions, a true gentleman, a superior songwriter and entertaining as hell, Brent Burns. Brent talks with host JimmyPirate about old stuff, new stuff and what he's got going on.

This Episode we keep it in the 716 with Jimmy Scriven and Dave Issler from the Western New York Trop Rock Trio Harbour Knights.

A bit different take this time around as we have a little fun with Rob Miller, executive producer and John Schneider, co-executive producer and star of the television show "Twenty Six Miles".

The show, Twenty Six Miles, stars John Schneider as a corporate executive who leaves a stressful career, moves to an island, and "gets the old band together".  (Sounds like an awful lot of Trop Rock artists that we know!)

Take a listen, you just might hear something VERY exciting regarding the 2011 Trop Rock Music Awards at this year's MOTM, which happens to be the 20th Anniversary.

April 2011: Loren Davidson

For April we have a conversation with NoCal trop rocker Loren Davidson about the California Trop Rock scene, song writing groups, house concerts, nationwide travel and what he's got going on plus a couple of songs from his newest disc, "Island Standard Time".

Enjoy,

After a hiatus of nearly a year we're back on the podcasting track with the first new Margarita Mafia Artist of the Month interview of the new year.

For our first AOM interview we spent some time with 2010 Trop Rock Music Awards "Horizons" award winner Jimmy Parrish. The Horizons award honors up and coming Trop Rock artists. We covered a whole range of topics from music, to life close to the equator, to crashing events to hot sauce and all topics in between.

Enjoy,
