June 19, 2024 The Breadbox Foundation - Feeding Life into People through Education and Fine Arts
Feeling fantastic today! Why? Made some new friends over at The Breadbox Foundation in Birmingham, Alabama. I just love the community of folks that enjoy the same music that I do, but who also find the ray of light that guides them towards helping others in need.

I speak with Meredith Brown, Jefferson (Jeff) Martin, and Brooke Ainsley Stafford about their individual life journeys that eventually led them to each other, and the creation of The Breadbox Foundation. We discuss the organization's mission and their vision for the non-profit.

The introductory music comes to you from 'Oxmoor' - which is comprised of Ethan Brown, Lillian Lagrone, and Dakota McClurg. Check them out!

June 16, 2024 Cody Dickinson (Solo & North Mississippi Allstars)
For decades, Cody Dickinson has flown the flag for homemade American roots music. From his ongoing work with North Mississippi Allstars – the chart-topping blues/rock band he co-founded with brother Luther Dickinson in 1996 – to his Grammy-winning turn as record producer and film documentarian, he’s become a serial collaborator, working alongside everyone from Robert Plant to Lucero along the way.

Cody turns the tables with Homemade, an expansive and evolutionary album that marks his long-awaited debut as a solo artist. Stacked to the ceiling with southern soul, west coast boogie-woogie, hill country blues, and plenty of ear-candy pop hooks, Homemade redefines his reach as a vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. It also finds him in full-on family mode. Looking to spend more time with his young children, Cody recorded the album at home in Mississippi, where he played every instrument himself and balanced the tracking sessions with his responsibilities as a father of two toddlers.

“I love how it all came together,” Cody says. “This album is very grassroots — it was made at home, around my family, filled with Mississippi blues and southern music — but there’s also a very Hollywood-friendly, showbizzy angle to the story, because that’s where the deal went down. I made this record for me, but I made it for everyone else, too, and I like that it can occupy both of those worlds. It’s big enough to do that.”

This is a fun one for you! Sat down with Kyle Pike and talked about his experience in and around the music scene during and after his time in college in High Point, NC. He's seen a lot - and done a lot - and it was my pleasure to soak it all up!

We talked about Edwin McCain, Bloodkin, Vic Chestnutt, Disco Biscuits, Goose, Panic and more. He is a wealth of information, and it was my pleasure to get to know him better.

March 18, 2024 Michael Wilker - Part 1
Got to sit down for a quick chat with a certified legend in the Panic taping community. If you ever traded tapes, you should know who Wilker is. And if you don't - here's a quick intro! Resident of Nashville, TN, Wilker is a guy that I could talk to for hours, and we will be meeting again to record a longer chat, but was able to pull him away from a project to speak with us briefly. Enjoy!
