Leslie Vincent's style of music and singing is unlike anything a lot of us in my generation have hear, unless we do our homework and I am glad I did. Join me this week, as we kick things back off, with a lovely conversation with local jazz artist Leslie Vincent. We talk about jazz standards, the ukelele, and vinyl (of course we talked about vinyl).
Head over to lesliedellavincent.com to learn more, pre-order her new album, and for your locals - get tickets to her album release show on July 22nd! A huge thank you to Leslie for spending time with me to talk music!

I came across Ryan Rud because he does a lot of things and every single one of them is cool as shit. Ryan is a local musician/songwriter/singer/radio host/community creator/supper club lover and I'm stoked that we were able to sit down on a beautiful Saturday morning and catch up. As always - controversial topics, a lot of banter, and this week - a kid screaming (unharmed). Enjoy this week's episode and see ya soon!

I saw James open for former guest Nick Costa one night and instantly needed to have a conversation with him. His lyrics, his style, his apparent love for music while he was on stage blew me away. What I didn't expect was where our conversation led us. I'll just say this - Slash. James has some fantastic shows coming up, particularly March 16th with Cory Branan at The Icehouse in Minneapolis that I highly recommend you check out. Enjoy this weeks episode a few days early.

Logan Mehr joined me from his living room, while progressing nicely through his dry January for quite an entertaining episode. I've known Logan for several years now, have shared several stages with him, and I learned so many new things that we could have kept talking for hours. I hope you enjoy this week's episode; I know I did.

Neal Elder and I have shared stages, bills, and had a beer or 2(give or take many) at the bar over the last several years. Neal took his talents to Nashville, via Minnesota, and then Montana, where he is now living the life of a musical nomad. Or at least that's how I understand it. Sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy this round on us.

Episode music:

• Whiskey Memories - Neal Elder

Charlie Pine and I sit down to talk about the inception of his new project, Electric Beauty, their new LP and the world and how Charlie became a piano player, which turns out to be a hate/love relationship. Charlie and his bandmates (Jim Tollesfrud & Wayne Hasti) have a long history in the Minneapolis music scene, which made for some fun stories during our chat. I hope you enjoy this week's episode as much as I did. Check out Electric Beauty's new LP @ www.electricbecautymusic.com

Julie Eddy is taking Nashville by storm and without the help of major labels. It's called hard work and determination and we spend this week's episode talking about her drive, her upbringing in music, she breaks some news to the Couchies, and we discuss how her dad can kick your dad's ass. And for the record - I'm now a huge fan of Patrick Droney, thanks to Julie. Enjoy and welcome to 2023!

Episode music:

• Opening Track: One of the Girls - Julie Eddy

JD Greene is one of my oldest friends and we have seen and done a lot together. We all have those friends where you can go from talking every day, to not talking at all for years yet then find yourself right back at square one. JD and I started Greene and Hurst, had some fun, and went our separate ways. Now we want to talk about it and SO many other things. Sit back and relax - this is how you end a season. 

Happy holidays and see you in 2023!

Anderson Daniels has been a friend of mine for a long time. It was good to catch up with him and learn more about his path of getting into music and where he is heading - which is in the right direction. This kid is a star and I know we'll hear a lot more from him soon. Was great to catch up with my biggest fan and thank you to Loves Gas Stations for the sponsorship.

Coming to you straight from San Fran, Gloomy June is a bad ass group of talented artists that I am honored to have met and chatted with. What don't we cover in this week's episode? We had a great time chatting about genres, parents who didn't want us to be musicians (or did they?), and much more. This was a pleasure to be a part of and I hope you all do yourselves a favor and pick up the bands EP - 'Popsick' (which is available on cassette) at www.gloomyjune.com
