Unrehearsed goes back on the road to Chicago in celebration of Lollapalooza.  We connect with Sound Nutrition's Emmaline Rasmussen, who is revolutionizing touring though integrative nutrition and overall wellness.  She gives us insight on pre-performance, both on stage and yes, in the bedroom.  Let's not forget the discussion on androgyny and dating.  And again, erections.

Special thanks to Audiotree and Rick Fritz.  And Brian Garza.

Producer's Note: Lollapalooza was a blast. Loved seeing all of you. Green Day at Metro was the cherry on top. 

Chicago, you still and will always have my heart.  JB

Basile has a very unrehearsed chat with bff and founding member of the Circle Jerks, Greg Hetson.  Despite being a Kings fan, Hetson has some great insight on playing & staying sober and the resurgence of punk rock.  He might even get a little teary eyed.
Punk isn't dead, and neither are we.
Sound Wizard: Kyle J. Ross
Catch Circle Jerks on a stage near you.  You won't regret it.
And do not miss Punk Rock Karaoke.  Then petition Hetson to let me sing a Cheap Trick song.
Here's a plug for the POWERVIOLETS.  You deserve it. I love this Nickleback cover.

On this episode, Basile spends time with country/soul breakout artist Lou Ridley.  Listen to the ladies get riled while discussing the social issues they are both passionate about: the unhoused and those suffering from substance use disorder.

Ridley hasn't broken out merely because of the attention her new song has gotten, but because she is breaking conventions and bridging gaps.  She advocates for human rights on platforms such as Soft White Underbelly and Tik Tok.

Check out her first release as a signed artist, Bless Your Heart. (Do yourself a favor and listen to all her music.) And stay tuned for the track's moving and controversial video. You may even catch a glimpse of someone you know...
