I was able to see Disterbenz (the moniker of Gabrielle Sterbenz) perform live a few years back when she opened for Wheatus and was majorly impressed. She has a powerful voice and a performance that includes looping of her vocals and guitar that really impresses. And the songwriting is stellar – mostly Americana, but really…
We had the great honor of spending time with Wheatus to learn all about how they achieve their iconic sound. We had this awesome group of humans on 3 years ago to dive in to their backstory, and we did that on the sidewalk during Wayne Music Fest. One of our fav episodes for sure!…
When we had Lia Menaker on back in October, we had out traditional episode format planned and ready, but a combination of some things going on in her life that were connected to her recent release “I’m Still Here” and a perfect synergy with guest co-host Galen Deery, we ended up just talking about things…
One of the things we love the most on this show is when an artist grabs two (or more) genres and brings them together brilliantly and just turns your preconceived notions of what to expect in music on it’s ear. When we took a listen to Orillia for the first time, we knew we were…
There’s a good chance you’ve seen Jacob Givens have a hilarious reaction to a killer track from the 90s, and if you haven’t … you should. He’s developed a series of videos that attempt to express what it was like to hear some of the iconic grunge music of the 1990s for the first time…
We’ve been enjoying the music of KOSER for quite some time now, via Musikfest discovery and the Philly music scene. Koser is the namesake of the band and is the frontwoman with powerhouse performance chops, and a brilliant flair for melody and finding that hook that has you coming back for more. During last year’s…
Sometimes you just come across music that makes you feel good. Perfect for those summertime feelz – let’s roll in Julez & the Rollerz! I recently discovered this band and their music and know you will love them. And their videos are amazing! Can’t wait to share it all, and to dive in to their…
Early in the year 1976, a young musician was seeking a place to perform where people wanted to listen. Frustrated by the spaces where you’d play to a crowd that was otherwise distracted, he sought to find and create an environment where the musician and the audience shared the room and the exchange of energy…
A songstress from the moment she entered the world, Sadie Gust is the type of musician that was born to do it. And while she’s only at the beginning of her journey, she’s already garnering praise and earning accolades for her songwriting and performing. Sadie has won the XPN 24-hour songwriting contest, made it to…
I became a fan of Weakened Friends straight off of the first listen of their iconic hit “Blue Again” back in 2019 in preparation of Musikfest that summer. This many years later, and now hosting a podcast, the opportunity came up to be able to interview Sonia Sturino and Annie Hoffman and I jumped at…
Check this ep out for all things No Planet B Jamboree this year and then some. This is our 4th annual event centered around sustainability and conservation within the music industry and beyond. I’ll be joined by special guest co-host Aimee Kohler of The Running Kind, who’s helping host the 5k Fun Run prior to…
I attended a Sustainability Summit for the music industry hosted by Martin Guitar back in the fall of 2025. It was a great day of panels, Q&A and networking that includes musicians, manufacturers and support organizations all seeking to make the industry a bit more green, sustainable and less negative impact to the earth. While…
