Underwater Sunshine

Calling from London to tell you this week’s podcast focuses on the Underwater Sunshine Garden Sessions and the interviews we did while hanging out there last week. In this episode we talk to Matt Sucich, Mikaela Davis and her band, and Ryvoli plus we check out their Garden Sessions. It’s live music and great conversations direct to you from The Garden! Dig it!

…

In which the Sunshine Boyz get ready for the Fest, clear up some cases of mistaken identity, discuss old Macs, and finally settle down to just rave a little more about the best band from the other side of the planet.

Went to California, drank a lot of wine, and now we’re cleaning up the place. We also roasted a chicken we soaked overnight in Buttermilk. Now we take a dip in the musik. This is the kinda shit that makes life worth living.

With the festival less than 2 weeks away, the boys explore some of the Underwater Sunshine acts they haven’t touched upon before now plus a brief detour to check out The King Of Mambo!

Over the past 3 summers Counting Crows have lost 1 gig each summer to bizarre circumstances: the giant broken fan blade that beheaded Bristow, the sinkhole that ate San Francisco, and finally the mudflood that fucked Kentucky yesterday.

(sigh) I hate missing gigs.

Nevertheless, I’m home now and we are back with Part Deux of our journey through the musical life and times of Stew and The Negro Problem. Someday there’ll be a Part Three but for now...Welcome Black!

In which the boyz return from their 2-week Adam’s-On-The-Road-And We-Miscounted-How-Many-Episodes-We-Had hiatus with a bang-up series on maybe my favorite songwriter and my favorite band. Dig Stew and The Negro Problem!

In which the boys...oh I don’t know!

In which the boys take a deep dive into The Posies and splash around with Gigolo Aunts too!

In which I casually and confidently confuse the Bay State with the Bay State. It’s a club IN Massachusetts and a state NAMED Massachusetts. Forgive me all you Massholes out there.

In which the Sunshine Boys prove beyond a shadow of a doubt their unfaltering willingness to go to the well yet again with the gift that just keeps on giving: the background vocal thing!
