In 2020, wTnS wasn’t able to bring the Annual Col. Bruce Hampton Tribute to you, our listeners. Given this, and the fact that many of you are still stuck at home almost a year into the COVID nightmare - wTnS decided to bring you a li’l Col. Bruce Hampton podcast gift for the 2020 Christmas/whatever holiday you celebrate season. We dug deep into the podcast vault, and unEarthed some previously unheard audio from interviews conducted in Atlanta’s Diamond Street Studios before one of TDawg’s legendary “Holiday Hootenanny” concerts. The amazing Larry Keel, Jason Carter (Del McCoury Band, Travelin’ McCourys), Nick DiSebastian (Bonaventure Quartet, Madrid Express, Town Mountain), Lyndsay Pruett (Jon Stickley Trio, Asheville Tango Orchestra, Hot Point Trio), Joey Sommerville (Big Joe Burrell, Papa J Sez), Rev.

This is the pilot episode of a new Inside Out wTnS series which finds hosts Rob Turner and Seth Weiner focusing on the Georgia music world.  The podcasts’ goal is to shine a light on all things related to the Georgia music industry - and the people, artists and supporters who make it all happen.  In this first episode, we take a look at how Collectiv and Beware Presents were able to put on large-scale concerts at The Atlanta Motor Speedway during a global pandemic.  We focus on the pair of Umphrey’s McGee concerts which took place in October (one of which was almost canceled due to tornado warnings).  First, Eric Von Haessler of WSB’s “Von Haessler Doctrine shares insight about the Speedway itself, as well as about how his interest in NASCAR was rekindled when he moved to Atlanta in the late 90s.  Then, we dive into the preparation, execution, and enjoyment of this unique event from multiple angles.  The Site/Event Director (Kit Blanchard) explains about how many folks had to be on board with each other to make the shows happen, particularly in the immediate wake of tornado warnings on Saturday.  We also hear of the experiences of a Social Distancing Ambassador (Nicholas Woodruff), and a long-time music fan who traveled from Colorado to see the Umphrey’s McGee, “Drive-in At The Speedway” concert (Steve Homer).  The episode ends with Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee giving his thoughts on the band’s experience, and how it all looked and felt from their position.   Sprinkled throughout the episode are thoughts and feedback from the hosts, who attended the first of these two concerts.

Seth and Rob sit down with one of Weiner's absolute favorite musical artists, Bahamas. This is the performance name for Afie Jurvanen, a brilliant Canadian (with strong roots to Finland) singer/songwriter.  The band's fifth release, "Sad Hunk" is a continuation of this artist's brilliant studio career. Afie shares some insight on specific songs on the record, and elaborates on how his songwriting process has evolved. Conversation flows freely as the topics include his forthcoming webcast series, salmon fishing, scheming/executing strong backing vocals, allowing happiness to happen to you, being a father and how "Half Your Love" is a bit of a reward for him constantly challenging himself to write a better and more compelling love song. We also hear about the Robbie Robertson and others are among his listeners, how his Nova Scotia province avoided COVID and how much he learned touring with more established artists - particularly Feist. Jurvanen even shares with our listeners a revelation he had when while high on mushrooms as a teen, he was confronted with a firearm - and he gives specific hints of what a Jurvanen-curated music festival might be like. All of the music contained in this episode is from the Bahamas' 2020 release, "Sad Hunk."

Rob and Seth chatted with Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards shortly after she and her band had released the single, "Revolution." Erika talks about the message of the song, and how it is a part of a record that will be the first full-length release from Heartless Bastards in over five years. We hear the song in its entirety, and we hear Erika talk about how the record was completed just before COVID locked us all in our homes.  We include a bunch of music from her debut solo record "Sweet Unknown" because Erika explains to us in detail about how the forthcoming Heartless Bastards release in many ways expands on themes that were a huge part of that brilliant debut solo release. She also shares with us how she has coped with her time during the pandemic. We also go into the Wayback Machine and learn of her early days in Dayton, and why she moved to Cincinnati. We also find out how her persistence there, and her insistence on playing a wildly under-attended gig in Akron would each serve to change her life forever. This episode covers plenty of other territory, and it demonstrates that Erika is a very sincere and thoughtful person beyond her writing and performing excellence.Music From The Episode:Heartless BastardsRevolution (new single)Parted Ways (from Arrow)Erika Wennerstrom Twisted Highway (from Sweet Unknown)Letting Go (from Sweet Unknown)Time (from Sweet Unknown)Be Good To Yourself (from Sweet Unknown)Gravity (from Sweet Unknown)Be Here To Love Me (from Tribute To Townes Van Zandt)Mahalia JacksonGo Tell It On The Mountain (from original 1962 Christmas With Mahalia record)Lhasa de Sala1001 Nights (from 2009 release Lhasa)Osiris Media - www.osirispod.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth - insideoutwtns.com Hosted on Acast.

Railroad Earth kindly came into Diamond Street Studios in between the Colorado and Georgia portions of their most recent New Year's run. The band played three songs from their 2020 release, All For The Song (including the title track). Principal songwriter and lead vocalist Todd Sheaffer stuck around after this performance to chat with Rob and Seth. Todd talks about how the band negotiated their way through the recent devastating loss of founding member and multi-instrumentalist Andy Goessling. We learn how his loss influenced the All For The Song record, and how the band still feels him with them as they move forward a different twist on their live sound. Todd talks about how Col. Bruce Hampton was a big part of them finding bassist Andrew Altman, and how Altman in turn brought into the RRE fold another Bruce Hampton alum, Matt Slocumb. Todd jokes around plenty - but gets serious when he recalls the night he and his previous band From Good Homes opened for Bob Weir and Ratdog on the night Jerry Garcia died. The other two songs performed were "Slipping Away" and "The Great Divide."

This episode features Rob's interview with guitarist and songwriter John Kadlecik, who comes roaring out the gate with some strikingly candid commentary on previous songwriter collaborations. John talks about how it feels as though "ancient intelligence" takes over during improvisation, about how while in Furthur he was able to find his space between the approaches of Bob Weir and Phil Lesh (from tempo to touring preferences) and playfully speaks of Mickey Hart "raiding" a Hunter lyric John had put to song. John talks about his early days, particularly one early teacher's response to John's interest in learning how to improvise on violin. He also talks about his various pre-Dark Star Orchestra musical outfits, and some of the decision points behind initially committing his musical life to, and the eventual evolution of DSO. John and Rob move through a ton of topics, spending a bit of time on JK's <em>On The Road</em> release in general, with John shedding particular light on the story behind "The Hanging of John Collins" in particular. We even learn of how John attended Phish's Clifford Ball as a guest of the band's drummer Jon Fishman, of how JK was surprised to learn that his own musical ethos was in some part an echo of that of Bach, about his experience playing Radio City Music Hall with Furthur in the immediate wake of Weir and Lesh learning of the death of "Bear" Owsley and about the time John met John Barlow. The episode ends with a skeletal version of "So Blue" which John wrote with Robert HunterwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

This episode features the wildly versatile singer/songwriter/musician Keller Williams, who comes right out the gate with enthusiastic tales from his experiences with his family seeing theater on Broadway. Williams was on the heels of having just released three records (ADD, SANS and SPEED) and he shares insight about each, particularly SPEED, his third with the spirited acoustic musicians Larry and Jenny Keel. Before the first of three exclusive performances, Keller gets inspired to read the lyrics of (and tell the story behind) a piece he is working on in honor of Col. Bruce Hampton.

This episode features Rob's interview with Kellen Asebroek of Fruition from last fall. They discuss the two EP's this band has released recently (Wild As The Night last fall and Broken At The Break of Day early in 2020), how having 14 new songs in play makes writing setlists more fun. Many of the songs are results of the band becoming more collaborative than ever and increasingly able to have open, clear and at times blunt communication with regard to composing and recording songs. Kellen also elaborates on how the members' families encouragement was key to them getting through the very earliest days of the band, how Fruition's music has evolved in the live setting, how he was influenced as a musician and a person by Jack Johnson and KA offers his response to seeing his first live Phish show. These two discuss plenty more, and not only does Kellen tell a nice JamCruise story from the past, but in the episode outro which follows Seth returns to share his thoughts on the 2020 JamCruise.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

This episode features the second part of Rob's lengthy chat with Marc Brownstein, the bassist of Star Kitchen and Disco Biscuits. Marc explains how the initial genesis of Star Kitchen occurred when he chased down guitarist Danny Mayer at Mayer's son's little league baseball game. Brownstein goes on to reveal how the band decided to add keyboardist Rob Marscher and drummer Marlon Lewis and the spices that each continue to bring to the kitchen. We even hear a snippet of a song from Roadside Attraction, one of Rob's first bands. Marc also relates that while they are learning classic soul/R&B music, they for the most part are focusing on deep cuts, and as one fan commented - they are essentially, "taking these classic songs are remixing them live." Marc relates how he became a better musician just by playing and sharing notes with John Kadlecik, shares some insight on modes + scales, explains how "off-time" songs work best when most listeners don't even realize the song's unique tempo and he gives examples of how his approach to songwriting has evolved He also relates his memory of the night that his bandmates Aron Magner and (original drummer) Sam Altman spontaneously came up with the sound that would become a significant part of the band's future. Brownie also points to three things that greatly fueled The Biscuits' growth and tells a fantastic Stanley Jordan story.

Seth and Rob first speak with Jon Gutwillig and we learn about how Osiris podcasts like Under The Scales, No Simple Road and this one inspired him to begin his own podcast. This podcast, Touchdowns All Day, in turn inspired his Disco Biscuits to return to active touring. Many other recent and past Gutwillig insights are revealed, including the ethos behind the new Biscuit "alter ego" Tractorbeam, and why having Marc Brownstein as a bassist has been pivotal to the continuing evolution of the band. Then we hear's Rob's conversation with Biscuits (and Star Kitchen) bassist Marc Brownstein, who also offers some of his feelings about Tractorbeam. We also learn how some mid-Roggae Mike Gordon arpeggios were part of the encouragement that ultimately led to Marc reassessing his whole approach to playing bass, and how gratified he is that new life has been breathed into the now-iconic Disco Biscuits. This is a fun, and in-depth conversation which traverses many topics and will be continued next episode.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob also quizzes Seth about his recent trip to be YOUR ROCKTIONEER for the "What The Night Brings" concert in celebration of the life of Jeff Austin at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Jay Cobb Anderson, from Fruition, calls in to debut the studio track "Forget About You" from the band's forthcoming Wild As The Night album. He also talks about the track, and shines a little light on his songwriting process in general. The mini-episode ends with the new track, followed by the debut live version of a Mimi Naja song "Playin' On (Words)" which was originally released as part of the Volume 2 of the band's limited release 7" vinyl series.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

The majority of this episode features Seth and Rob chatting with the eclectic ace of the keyboards John Medeski about everything from his high school days playing with Jaco Pastorius, to his current days playing in the adventurous Mad Skillet. John talks about why his landmark organ trio Medeski, Martin and Wood's initial choice to hit the road in the 90s was a bold one at the time, and what has motivated him to continue to push the envelope in all of his acts over the years. Medeski shares memories about exploring boundless musical terrain with John Zorn, what was unique about playing with Jack Bruce (beyond how he made ceilings crumble) and of course Col. Bruce Hampton. He also talks in detail about his approach to composition and improvisation, his work with The Wood Brothers and the future of Medeski, Martin and Wood. This episode also contains the first little window into Rob's recent interview with the iconic jazz and fusion drummer Billy Cobham. Cobham here relates some of his experiences with The Grateful Dead. Cobham gets his own episode soon during which he will talk about his entire career, particularly his recently released "Time Lapse Photos (The Crosswinds Project)."wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Mental health is a difficult topic, but it is important that it not be an ignored one. There are many musicians (and people in general) dealing with brain disorders, and in this episode we celebrate Nuci's Space. Seth and Rob hope with this episode to shine a light on how Nuci's Space provides a culture free of stigma for anyone who is struggling with mental health issues. This actually started as a conversation Seth had with Anders Osborne's manager Phil Einsohn (7S Management) at the Conscious Alliance auction in Colorado just days prior to the passing of Neal Casal. Inspired by this, and devastated by Neal's passsing, Seth later would reach out to Andy Frasco with the interest of conducting a "roundtable" of sorts on musicians and mental health. Ultimately Rob and Seth traveled to Nuci's Place in Athens, and Bob Sleppy (executive director) and Lesley Cobbs (counseling advocate) joined the hosts on the conversation with Frasco and Osborne joining by phone.This discussion, and the one the hosts have with Nuci's Space founder Linda Phillips in the introduction to the episode, is designed to demonstrate that help is out there for people who need it. Nothing is insurmountable, there is no need to be ashamed and you must never lose hope. You don't need health insurance. You don't have to worry about being treated badly. If you just reach out to Nuci's they will point you in the appropriate direction to find the help you need. Linda lost her son to suicide, but it inspired her to start this organization which has saved so many others from a similar fate.We hope that this episode emboldens you to have similar conversations with those you love and/or those who are struggling. Please remember to look for the signs (as mentioned in the episode) and don't hesitate to reach out for help - whether by calling Nuci's, utilizing the new organization Backline, contacting MusiCares, or just seeking the ear of a trusted friend.Call Nuci's Space at (706) 227-1515Music in episode:Andy Frasco & The U.N. | album Change of Pace | Song: SomedaysAnders Osborne | album: Black Eye Galaxy | Song: Mind of a JunkiewTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

This episode Seth and Rob celebrate WinterWonderGrass. This is a crazy-fun, kid-friendly festival of music, beer, winter and culture which this year once again takes place in Colorado, California and Vermont. They first chat with veteran WWG performer Lindsay Lou. She talks briefly about how she met a traditional bluegrass band called The Flatbellys at an "open mic" event, and how they would come to impact her professionally and personally. She also elaborates briefly on how her music has evolved, what it was like to live on the same street as Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, and the beauty of "tea bag wisdom." Lindsay gets particularly effusive talking about the unique beauty of WinterWonderGrass, and how the festival for her conjures fond memories of skating on makeshift rinks when she was growing up in the upper peninsula of Michigan. She loves being protected from mother nature not only by clothing at WinterWonderGrass, but also by the camaraderie and music-love of all of the boisterous attendees. She also talks about how the festival is highly focused on collaboration, offers a quick story about how breathtaking the "gondola sets" can be and even touches on quantum physics. Then we hear Seth talk with Scotty Stoughton, the promoter, musician and music aficionado who created this festival, and we learn how his experience playing traditional festivals inspired his approach toward creating his own, and his particularly "hands-on" attitude. He also explains how promoting shows for over 25 years (and his relationship with musicians like Mark Vann) inspired him to make the core mission of this festival not just to bring forth great music in an amazing setting, but also to build community around these delightfully chilly events. He also admits that he in large part selects the performing artists based on how willing they are to get into the spirit of the festival by mingling in the crowd, and evidencing a "keep playing even if the power goes out" attitude on stage. He talks about how he is comfortable with the current three-venue version of the festival, and that he isn't looking just to expand the festival just for the sake of expanding. He would at this point rather focus on making the experience better every year at the existing locations.Music in episode:Lindsay Lou's album Southland: Satellite, Go There Alone, and Simple & SoberBonfire Dub | album: Gypsy Roots | Song: OceanContest: Enter to win a pair of GA tickets to the WinterWonderGrass Festival of your choice.

Kebbi Williams joined Seth and Rob in the Diamond Street Studios a few weeks before the 9th Annual Music In The Park festival. Kebbi talks about how he "accidentally" started Music In The Park, and about how it has expanded over the years (MITP has even partnered with Atlanta Food Banks for food giveaway programs). Kebbi also fills us in on this year's festival, which takes place October 18 + 19 at Gordon White Park in Atlanta. Kebbi explains how he first discovered music while being punished by his parents, and he shares some insight on his bands Wolfpack (who are playing MITP) and Whose Hat Is This? He also talks about how his relationship with Branford Marsalis has evolved, and of course shares a few stories from his work with the extremely successful Tedeschi Trucks Band. Kebbi and Quinn Mason also perform two songs as a "telepathic" duo. Remember to Text musicinthepark to 243725 for your chance to win tickets to several different shows (TTB, DMB, etc...).

This episode is a Portland blowout. First, Rob sits down with Taylor Kingman, principal songwriter of the band TK & The Holy Know Nothings. Taylor explains how blowing his voice out at a young age resulted in a burst of writing for him. The band's debut cd is called, Arguably Ok yet it is actually arguably absolutely excellent. Taylor relates the process behind many of these compelling songs, and maps out his view of the band's future. He also talks about how he met Jay Cobb Anderson, and why he and drummer Tyler Thompson are now members both of Fruition and of TK & The Holy Know Nothings. Then Seth and Rob chat with twin sisters Katelyn and Laurie Shook. The Shook Twins explain how they morphed from music enthusiasts to professional touring musicians. The hosts discuss with the twins about how their latest full-length Some Good Lives represents a more eclectic approach for them, and about the singles they have released even more recently. The sisters tell how Bart Budwig's mixing skills kept their sound cohesive even though they were adding soul, funk and even disco flavors to their classic indie-folk sound. The band recorded it in an old brick library in Southeast Portland with the assistance of engineer Justin Phelps and his vintage gear and sonic versatility. We also learn about why their first gigs were in Virginia even though they grew up in Idaho, their songwriting process, why it takes a strong man to date a twin, their love of Bernie, the significance of the golden egg and a bunch more.

Seth and Rob update the listeners on some of the exciting things that are planned for this fall. For example, there are five releases scheduled for October alone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth and Rob update the listeners about some of their recent live music experiences throughout this episode, but the rest is a Seth Fest! Seth first interviews Ronnie McCoury and discusses his work with the legendary Del McCoury Band as well as his own The Travelin' McCourys outfit. They talk about Ronnie's son's 10-piece Jazz/Funk band, the new wave of bluegrass bands, the importance of being musically versatile and many other topics. Ronnie also speaks for the first time publicly about the tragic passing of Jeff Austin. Then Seth has a brief chat with Ziek McCarter of the lively soul/R+B/PsychRock band Con Brio. Ziek talks about how Con Brio is able to take its music across the globe. Ziek speaks of how having enthusiastic fans so far from home inspires them, how they can turn seated audiences into dancing ones, their tour with Galactic, how they keep the creative juices flowing and more. Con Brio will be releasing music and touring this fall with the groundbreaking Asian/American rapper, Lyrics Born.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comNugs.netnugs.net offers a monthly subscription service in which live music fans can stream recordings of live performances and albums from a bevy of acts including Pearl Jam, Umphrey’s McGee, The Magpie Salute, Dead & Company, the Jerry Garcia Band, Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, moe., STS9, Twiddle and more.

Neal Casal is an accomplished guitarist whose interesting career has led him from Blackfoot in the late 80s to the singer/songwriter world in the 90s to Ryan Adams in “The Oughts” and then onto Phil Lesh to his current adventurous band Circles Around The Sun. Seth and Rob spoke with him before Circles took the stage at the Terminal West in Atlanta. The conversation starts with a discussion about the unique way this band came together and how the members push each other to continue to reinvent the music in the spontaneous nature it was initially created. We the jump in “the wayback machine” and learn about how this New Jersey kid ended up being the lead guitarist of what many say is the best incarnation of Ryan Adams and The Cardinals. He also elaborates on the organic genesis of the band, Brotherhood (with Chris Robinson) and the raw beauty of the Hard-Working Americans (with Dave Schools and the ever-enigmatic Todd Snider). The show opens with a brief phone conversation featuring Joel Cummins of Umphrey’s McGee. We learn about his new and wildly informative book, “The Realist’s Guide To a Successful Music Career” which he wrote with author/entrepreneur Matt DeCoursey. Joel and Rob walk through just some of the many pieces of music career strategy wisdom that this book offers. It is a “must-read” for anyone seriously contemplating a dive into the business of music.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comCBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

This episode features two separate interviews. The first of these is from when Rob and Seth sat down with Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan of the wildly successful independent band Dispatch just before the band performed at the 2019 Candler Park Festival. Among the many topics discussed are their Boston farewell show which took place over a decade ago and reportedly drew over 150,000, as well as the strikingly raw documentary "The Last Dispatch" which thoroughly documents the build-up to this show and the show itself. The band has recently returned to regular touring and we learn some of the ways each has changed since the band went on hiatus. They also relate how difficult it was to reform the group when they learned that founding member Pete Francis Heimbold was not yet ready to resume the touring lifestyle. We also get a taste of how this fiercely independent band may have at one point come closer to joining a major label than many of its fans knows. The second interview finds Seth speaking with Galactic saxophone ace Ben Ellman. Ben talks about how his life has become more busy with his production work, and the fact that the band has taken on the honor of being the current caretakers of the legendary Tipitina's in New Orleans. Ben breaks down some of his producing work (particularly that with The Revivalists) and warns of the dangers of "Demo-itis." He also compares playing the baritone sax to playing tenor and speaks about the Walter Wolfman Washington solo release that he worked on (and shared the good news that they are apparently at work on another project). Seth and Rob also update each other on some of each of their own goings'-on, as they cut the segments for this episode after having not seen each other for two months.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comCBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

Rob and Seth sit down with the ever-improving 16-year-old guitarist Brandon "Taz" Niederauer and learn how a performance at a Rock n Roll University event at a Mets game ultimately led Niederauer to Ellen DeGeneres, Gregg Allman, Col. Bruce Hampton and other musical luminaries. Brandon speaks of his teammates in his current band, and about how he has stepped up his own songwriting to provide material for the nationally touring act. Brandon talks about how he still gives a great deal of time to his schoolwork and makes sure to maintain his oldest friendships - yet still manages to find "pockets of time" to work on his music. We learn of his hometown of Dix Hills on Long Island in New York, where John Coltrane once lived. Taz expresses surprise to learn that 50 Cent also used to live there. Brandon talks about how his experience at the Roots, Rock, Revival camp found him enjoying quality time with musicians like Butch Trucks and Oteil Burbridge. Brandon proudly talks about his days at the Broadway musical School Of Rock including auditioning for Andrew Lloyd Webber and the day Stevie Nicks visited and collaborated. He also raves about his moments on stage with BB King and Derek Trucks and talks about his days with Col. Bruce Hampton from when George Porter Jr. introduced them until the Col. began his journey to the next dimension at Niederauer's feet.wTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comCBD Vermont: wTnS is sponsored by CBD Vermont, which partners with organic farms in Vermont to produce organically-grown hemp used in full spectrum extracts, available for sale at CBDVermont.com.

We were very proud to be given the opportunity to interview Bill Nershi of String Cheese Incident, so even though Rob Turner was on assignment in New England, Seth Weiner was able to soldier on and do what is probably his best to-date solo interview (although we are all confused as to what "taking the realm" means). Bill and Seth wasted no time in comparing Fox's. They also spoke about how, like Railroad Earth's Tim Carbone, Bill is a Colorado transplant from New Jersey. Bill elaborates on this, the ever-growing "New Grass" (aka "Jam Grass") scene and how he went from being a fan of Del McCoury to becoming one of his peers. Nershi also speaks of how his days as an aspiring visual artist led to him creating the band's now-familiar "Pagan Swirl" artwork. He lets us into his thoughts about writing and performing with his wife Jill, Jim Lauderdale and Benny Burle Galloway and speaks of the importance of having a representative of the "lyric police" in the room. The joys of bringing forth new songs to the SCI repertoire, and dusting off old ones (SCI had just a short time before this interview performed the "40 Miles To Tulsa" chestnut for the first time in 20 or so years, and this performance is included at the end). Bill also throws some loved toward key people behind the scenes in the SCI family who plan and execute their most elaborate incidents, and gets a tad emotional when talking about his friend/neighbor Jeff Austin who had passed away shortly before this interview. Seth also speaks with Justin Levy of Conscious Alliance and they briefly discuss how his CA harnesses the energy and passion of the music world to feed hungry people of the wider world. Levy talks about how he found his way to serving others for a living, and gives examples of ways that Conscious Alliance encourages people to participate. The episode ends first with Turner talking about his experience traveling to Philadelphia for a weekend-long Bachelor's Party in celebration of his long-time friend Jefferson Waful (who is the Director of Video at CID Entertainment) and then with a soundboard recording of the aforementioned String Cheese Incident bustout rendition of "10 Miles To Tulsa."Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comNugs.netnugs.net offers a monthly subscription service in which live music fans can stream recordings of live performances and albums from a bevy of acts including Pearl Jam, Umphrey’s McGee, The Magpie Salute, Dead & Company, the Jerry Garcia Band, Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, moe., STS9, Twiddle and more.

Seth and Rob huddle in a corner of Eddie's Attic with Delvon Lamarr, Jimmy James and Keith Laudieri. These three gentlemen make up the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. We learn many things including how these musicians' considerable talent and the savvy of Delvon's manager/wife Amy Novo were each able to help lead the band's first cd Close But No Cigar to debut at an impressive #1 on the Contemporary Jazz Album Charts. This turned the "Soul Jazz" trio into an internationally touring act, and they remain one to this day. Delvon, who is a master of the Hammond B3, explains why he decided to become a frontman, how his past as a drummer influences his approach to his organ work, who his primary influences are and about how important maintaining a sense of melody is to his playing. Jimmie James talks about how his blues past shapes his playing, and about how his and Delvon's wide musical palette combines with a mutually adventurous approach to produce wild improvisation with great regularity. These great musicians also talk about their enormous popularity in Europe, and the jazz audiences there. Laudieri is a Texas drummer who that night would perform publicly with the Lamarr Trio for the first time. He spoke of how he met Delvon in Austin (Delvon and his wife have since relocated from Seattle to Austin) and about what it's like to join a trio in which the other two musicians know each other so well. We also learn of some very cool encounters these fellas had with Sharon Jones, Greg Errico and other amazing heroes of music.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comNugs.netnugs.net offers a monthly subscription service in which live music fans can stream recordings of live performances and albums from a bevy of acts including Pearl Jam, Umphrey’s McGee, The Magpie Salute, Dead & Company, the Jerry Garcia Band, Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, moe., STS9, Twiddle and more.

Rob and Seth have a phone chat with one of Umphrey's McGee's managers, Kevin Browning. They first revel in the joy that is the band's new vape pens, Night Nurse and Day Nurse. Kevin talks about how this collaboration between the band and MedPharm came to be, and some of the specifics about each. They then dive into the 15th Anniversary "redux" release of the band's pivotal record, Anchor Drops. Kevin talks about the decision-making process behind the re-release, the difference between the remix and the remaster and even shares some stories related to the songs. The hosts also discuss Jefferson Waful, who is leaving his position as lighting designer, but Browning speaks of his hope that Jefferson will still offer his video brilliance to the band, as evidenced by the "redux" videos he has this year created for every Anchor Drops song. The folks also discuss Umphrey's McGee's future, including their adventurous destination show in Iceland.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comwTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comNugs.netnugs.net offers a monthly subscription service in which live music fans can stream recordings of live performances and albums from a bevy of acts including Pearl Jam, Umphrey’s McGee, The Magpie Salute, Dead & Company, the Jerry Garcia Band, Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, moe., STS9, Twiddle and more.

Our regular listeners are aware that Col. Bruce Hampton is essentially the Godfather of this podcast. He was our first guest, and has helped us grow in immeasurable ways, some obvious....others not as much. Every year we honor him with his own episode. This year we celebrate his music, and his spirit of shining a light on other musicians. We are featuring his work with another lost musical icon, Vassar Clements. Vassar's 90th birthday was just days before this episode was released.. We have performances from three different years of Thomas "T-Dawg" Helland's Harvest Festival when Vassar sat in with Bruce's Planet Zambi and Codetalkers bands. We also have a snippet of our Larry Keel and Jason Carter interview (recorded at Diamond Street Studios in Atlanta) during which they each discuss Vassar and they offer a duet performance of Vassar's "Paddy On The Turnpike." There are other musical gems as well including portions of Bruce's 2007 visit to the WNCW Studios in Spindale, NC (with his band The Quark Alliance) and the debut of a poem Kevn Kinney wrote in Colonel's honor.

This is the completion on Seth and Rob’s interview with Peter Rowan the first part of which is in Episode 74. We get a nice Vassar Clements-sourced story about Jimmy Martin right away and it leads to insight with regard to how Bill Monroe added power to his rhythmic approach. Peter talks about Uncle Pen’s cabin, why he left Monroe, and about how the bluegrass world reacted to the creation of a bluegrass band which contained a member of The Grateful Dead. He even offers up a story from Jerry Garcia’s “Bluegrass Pilgrimage,” relates where Old & In The Way found some of their more obscure songs and shares how Jerry responded to Peter’s own songwriting. Peter confides about how feeling he had an “obligation to the song and songwriting” can be at once liberating and limiting. He also discusses his view of and strategy behind his own career, and his resulting recent work - including his ode to significant musicians from his musical history the 2018 release, Carter Stanley’s Eyes. He also offers some insight to the lyrics of his songs, “Mississippi Moon” and “Midnight Moonlight.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comMixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comBandZoogle: Built by Musicians for Musicians, Bandzoogle is an all-in-one platform that makes it easy to build a beautiful website for your music.www.BandZoogle.com - use promo code "Inside Out" and get 15% off your first year of any subscription.Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Just hours after Peter Rowan performed at the 8th Annual Holiday Hootenanny in Atlanta, he sat down with Rob and Seth for a lengthy interview the first part of which is included here. Peter explains how Boston's Hillbilly Ranch was the focus of that area's underground traditional and bluegrass music world and how it helped him and others discover this timeless music. Peter talks about the early Massachusetts bluegrass scene and explains how he would end up being hired to play some some New England dates with the iconic father of bluegrass music. Monroe quickly becomes a central part of this interview, and we learn not only about how Monroe had helped a young Ray Charles but also about when Peter witnessed their reunion. Peter gives a first-hand account of Bill as a band leader, songwriting partner and friend. He explains the various ways Bill reached out to help and provide opportunities for him, and how Bill even sometimes intimidated a young Peter even at later points when Peter had become somewhat "in charge of Bill's career." We hear about the significance of Tex Logan, Jim Rooney, Bill Keith, Joe Val, Ralph Rinzler, Chubby Wise, Vassar Clements and others. Peter also discusses playing at Uncle Pen's house, Monroe bringing Peter to meet Carter Stanley in the Clinch Mountains and how later in life Rowan and Monroe discussed the songwriting credits for "Walls of Time."Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comMixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comBandZoogle: Built by Musicians for Musicians, Bandzoogle is an all-in-one platform that makes it easy to build a beautiful website for your music.www.BandZoogle.com - use promo code "Inside Out" and get 15% off your first year of any subscription.Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Just after his trip to Viet Nam, Jamband Trump came to Atlanta to sit down with Rob and Seth to offer his opinions on this show, its hosts, Phish, Umphrey’s McGee, moe. and other musical acts. A nemesis of his makes a cameo, and some surprising stories emerge.

Rob and Seth talk about the current incarnation of Mike Gordon, and its superb Spring Tour 2019-opening show before tossing to an in depth interview. Scott Murawski, Robert Walter and John Kimock join the hosts at Atlanta's Diamond Street Studios and they quickly find themselves discussing the producing brilliance of Shawn Everett, and how it was vital to the unique feel of Ogogo. Live performance is discussed at length, and Scott talks about how Mike encourages the band to, "push the envelope as far as sound goes and as far as improvisation goes" and Robert relates about how exploring synthesizers and the textures they create with Mike Gordon has directly influenced his 20th Congress work and vice-versa. Scott talks about how he sometimes likes to, "play things in a way that encourages people to think 'I could do that'" after which Walter leads into a conversation about improvisational exercises and the importance of "rudeness" with regard to creating compelling music in the moment. John Kimock explains some of his thinking behind his own approach to improvisation, and to his solo work some of which is with his father, legendary guitarist Steve Kimock. Also discussed are mid-tour musical adjustments, the interactive elements of Mike Gordon (the band) tours and how much fun they are having with the plethora of unrecorded songs specific to Mike Gordon (the band). Scott responds to Rob's suggestion that Max Creek bassist John Rider was a huge influence on Mike Gordon (the person), brings forth his early memories of Mike and band mate Trey Anastasio watching Max Creek from the front row, offers his opinion on an old Phish myth, talks about how horn players influenced him, his recent writing with Mike and spin on the Joni Mitchell "Kill Mommy Syndrome." A discussion about Robert's first pedal leads first to The Police and Bob Marley and in turn about how the "embrace of the economy of parts" was a significant influence on Robert as a musician. Each of these fantastic musicians updates the listener on their own solo projects, and then Seth and Rob offer their own closing thoughts. Late in the episode there are also COMPLETE live versions of Mike Gordon and Robert Walter's 20th Congress songs.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comSponsored by Kush Supply Co: Cutting edge, sage and creative medical/recreational marijuana and marijuana supply packaging.KSHB on NYSE tickerhttps://www.kushsupplyco.com/Mixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth first rejoice over the announcement of the new partnership between Osiris Podcasts and JamBase, and Rob elaborates on why he believes this is the ideal relationship for this podcast and for others on the Osiris Network.Then the listener is again taken to backstage at The Tabernacle for two interviews conducted during the Umphrey's McGee 2019 New Years' run. Drummer Kris Myers talks about his transition from being an enthusiast of grunge music to studying jazz and cutting his teeth in the "hot seat" of playing in "pro level" big bands.Kris explains how "one of the weirdest people I know" Brian Abraham is a bit of an "unsung hero" in Umphrey's circles. On the eve of his 16th Anniversary with the band, Kris talks about how his predecessor Mike Mirro helped him find his musical place in Umphrey's McGee, how "Plunger" and "Believe The Lie" were among the first Umphrey's songs he helped to shape and how his playing in the band has evolved over the years.We also learn about the "Hide The One" jam, how he used orchestral percussion to achieve a "thick, pulsating tone" on the band's recent studio release and Myers takes us into his thinking process behind one particular drum solo he played during this run (and we get to hear it). He also details his experiences with other musicians, including Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins, Zappa alum Mike Keneally and the legendary Adrian Belew.Then Aaron "Louie" Meyette represents the midwest well as he walks us through his unusual career path to becoming a full-time Umphrey's Mcgee employee. Louie went from working with the "Midwest Peeps," to USTORM, to doing Umphrey's merchandise to becoming the Lighting Crew Chief. His Umphstory should inspire others who aspire.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comSponsored by Kush Supply Co: Cutting edge, sage and creative medical/recreational marijuana and marijuana supply packaging.KSHB on NYSE tickerhttps://www.kushsupplyco.com/Mixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Turner and Seth first explain how this episode came together mostly by accident. They chat with Tim Newby, author of Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years Of Festival. Newby shares an early life story from each of the band's founding members: Drew Emmitt, Vince Herman and Mark Vann. Newby also offers his opinion on two myths that have become legendary in Salmon circles. Fans of Phish and String Cheese Incident will be interested to learn how Salmon’s early career intersected with those groups. We learn the beginnings of a musician’s prank called "Songbombing" discussed with Mimi Naja in Episode 63). Newby also tells us how different drummers came to define each era of the band and shares a passage from his book about the importance of finding Andy Thorn after the passing of Mark Vann. Next we go to the "Tasting Room" at Atlanta’s City Winery and hear long-time friends Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman speak of Tim's book, their evolving relationship with Phil Lesh, their current "living room-style" tour and more.The episode contains two exclusive duo performances from Emmitt and Herman, and a full-band live take on the Drew Emmitt's song “Astral Traveler," written in tribute to this program's Godfather, Col. Bruce Hampton - this version performed in The Colonel's adopted home town of Atlanta. A gorgeous studio version of the song appears on the Steve Berlin-produced Something Higher CD.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comMixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth first talk about they had to miss some of an Umphrey's McGee show to conduct this interview, which at once pained Turner but also indicated how strongly he felt about the brilliance of this guest. A quick tribute to Kofi Burbridge, a musician who passed away shortly before parts of this episode were recorded, unfolds to the Teel interview which finds him quick to explain how thankful he is to do what he loves for a living. Isaac talks about the importance of a band having a vision and being careful to make licensing decisions with this in mind. He also relates a revelation he had while working at Payless Shoes, how he auditioned for Stomp and the fact that he loves writing music and would be "really content" with just writing music if for some reason he could no longer tour. Isaac also mocks the "fashion-ignorant" Turner for being overly impressed with his own yoga pants, but he welcomes Turner's offer to give him a Kyrie Irving shirt (upon further review, it will probably be a Jayson Tatum shirt). The trio talk about the improv in the song "Convoy," the importance of "uber subtle non-verbal communication" and how while the band often knows exactly where they are going, those moments "when you know you don't know" can be the blessings which "hit you in the face." Teel admits his love of hip/hop and how in his teaching his students learn the importance of making a statement and how Kendrick Lamar "doesn't even know he's a drummer." Isaac also walks us through how his song "CMF 9000" evolved from an Ableton piece to a TAUK staple (this is demonstrated to completion at the end of the episode). He also relates about how the band benefits from each member having its ego enough in check to benefit from their each other's composition inputs and how this in turn makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. He walks us through many TAUK songs, particularly delighting Rob by relating some of the history of the Turner favorite, "Check Mate." The new, free live release "Real TAUK Vol. 1" featuring tracks suggested by the band comes up, and Isaac indicates receptiveness to Turner's idea to have Part Two be selected by some of their most fervent fans. Perhaps most touching is how Teel repeatedly returns to the theme that much of his success in life and music is due to his mother. God bless her. The episode ends with Seth and Rob each sharing some recent live music experiences, and Rob ranting about confounding Twitter responses he received from cranky New York writer Caryn Rose and the curious Twitter inferences of the movie soundtrack artist, Branford Marsalis.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comMixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob sit down with Jeff Coffin backstage at The Tabernacle in Atlanta just before Jeff was going to join Umphrey's McGee for portions of the final two shows of that band's New Year's run there. Coffin delights the hosts by talking about how hearing Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit on the way to the grocery store one afternoon completely changed his view of music. Jeff relates how after a chance encounter with Victor Wooten, Jeff ended up going to see Bela Fleck and The Flecktones in Aspen. Jeff would learn at setbreak that thanks to drummer Tom Pollard, Bela was already, "Coffin aware." A relationship developed quickly and soon Coffin found himself playing a gig with The Flecktones in Vermont, after which Bela surprised Jeff by asking him to join the band on a more permanent basis. We learn about how Coffin began sitting in with Dave Matthews Band, and then how at one point he had to scramble to help them out when tragedy hit the band just hours before tour. Jeff effusively reports about how consistently welcoming the entire band was to him, and we learn of (and hear) how years later the band negotiated their way through the beginning of "Ants Marching" the first time they played it after losing another key band member. Coffin elaborates on other awkward on-stage moments that have happened with DMB, although on balance the band is of course doing quite well. In fact, DMB had an incredibly strong 2018 with the release of its 7th consecutive #1-debuting record the (the first band to EVER pull that off) and their ability to continue to hit new peaks as a live act after all of these years. A discussion of "The Space Between" leads to Coffin elaborating on the importance of listening....in music....and in life. We also learn about how teaching as changed him as a musician and as a person and he talks about the thought process early this decade that lead to him starting his label, Ear Up Records. As Turner elaborated upon in the intro, this label brings forth a variety of records featuring brilliant, and in some cases lesser-known musicians, aeach schemed in very clever and unique fashion. Jeff goes into detail about a few of these - including how he brought the legendary Dave Liebman down to Nashville for a bunch of gigs, one of which would lead to the superb "On The Corner Live: The Music of Miles Davis" release. Jeff reveals how this was essentially recorded surreptitiously. The episode outtro includes Seth's reports from some of the destination festivals he has been working, and Rob talks about the music-packed weekend he had just had including a fantastic triple bill of Liz Cooper + The Stampede/New Madrid/The Artisanals.Part of the Osiris Podcast Network:www.Osirispod.comMixed by Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios@spencergarn@diamondstreetstudioswTnS Sponsors:Polay + Clark21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get screwed, get Polayed)www.polayclark.comInside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.comTwitter: @InsideoutWTNSInstagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtnsFacebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob sit down with Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee backstage at The Tabernacle during the band's recent four night New Year's run. Jake sits with guitar in hand and talks about the creation and influences of many Umphrey's McGee compositions. His reflections on the band's fantastic year lead to an interesting discussion of how the Umphrey's collaboration with drummer, Jason Bonham unfolded (and how Van Halen served as a bonding force). Jake also talks about how the band's improvisational approach has evolved in recent years, and offers specific examples of this. Jake talks about his "Live From Boondocks Studio" series and expresses an interest in doing more of them, and to record some of the hundreds of songs he has archived there. Jake talks about his love of, and history with country music, and specifically Sturgill Simpson, and how he would love to become a bridge between the country music and Umphrey's McGee world. Cinninger also talks about how the recent sit in with "American Treasure" Larry Keel came together and the chances of that collaboration happening again. Jake demonstrates his "muppet character guitar" abilities, demonstrating some unique elements of the work of guitarists Mark Knopfler, Albert King, Chet Atkins, Robert Fripp and Joe Pass as well as artists like Lamb of God, Van Halen, Mastodon, Thin Lizzy and Fripp's King Crimson. Jake takes a stab at a "progressive country" song, debuts the framework of a potential future Umphrey's song and even mentions quantum physics during this chat. Jake also talks about how his experience as a drummer influenced his writing, about performance and writing insight he tries to impart as a teacher and he demonstrates on guitar how the usage of "tension notes" can punch up a composition. Seth and Rob offer a quick wrap-up which includes Rob's observation that two different fellow Osiris Podcast Network teammates had each recently delivered stories about Bruce Springsteen. Seth then talks about his forthcoming destination events, and he will report back on those in future episodes.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Rob walks Seth through a set-by-set recap of the Umphrey's McGee four night 2018-19 New Year's eve run at The Tabernacle in Atlanta. Sara Jachimiak of the Umphreak Parent's Podcast (https://umphreakparentspodcast.simplecast.fm/) calls in to give her review of the intimate "ViP" set which occured the afternoon of December 29th. She also talks about her own Umph-centric show, and she gives her five favorite moments of this run.

Seth and Rob had an opportunity to sit down with a young man who is setting on fire the traditional music-flavored wing of the jamband world, Billy Strings. The hosts in advance of the interview discuss Billy and his touring band, and then throw to the interview - conducted backstage at Terminal West just before Billy and his band performed there (all of the LIVE music you hear in the episode is from the Billy Strings show that night). Billy first picked up the guitar at the age of 4, and we learn about some of the many things that influenced him....his father......legendary musicians from Mac Wiseman to metal.....a powerful DMT trip....and the way he these days is positioning himself in anticipation of spending the majority of the next few years playing music around the world. Billy proudly relates how his father would sit him down and enthusiastically educate him on various artists, and Billy gets emotional as he relates a story about a night in Ohio when he got to return the favor and introduce his father to one of those artists, David Grisman. Billy tells of how this led to him and his father jamming with David and Del McCoury. Billy is clearly wise beyond his years, and we learn about how he more focused on keeping his career moving in the right direction than in the party which can surround the world of a touring musician - prioritizing his career even to more of an extent than many veteran musicians. He at this point in his life would rather feed his mind with a good documentary than his head with intoxicants. Billy talks about some of the decision points and inspirations behind his brilliant most recent cd, Turmoil and Tinfoil. Billy speaks about one of the many lessons he has learned while playing which forever changed his approach - this one delivered by Sam Bush without Sam saying a word. We also find out about how years later Sam himself brought forth his own similar story after Billy told him of this treasured learning moment. Billy then plays three songs exclusively for you, the InsideOut wTnS listener. The episode ends with Seth talking about Closer To The Sun and Rob relating some of his experiences seeing the quintet Max Creek in Rhode Island and Thom Yorke in Brooklyn. Then Jon Stickley offers some thoughts on Billy Strings, and a quick cover of one of Billy's funnier compositions, and the episode ends with the jam-licious pair of songs which ended of the first set from the same night as this interview.We're proud to partner with Ben & Jerry’s to help raise awareness of The WaterWheel Foundation.

Seth and Rob set the table with a talk about Stanley Clarke and all of the musicians he has worked with over the years. Clarke is an innovative jazz-and-beyond bassist who even had a bit of hit with the title track of his Stanley Clarke Band record, “School Days” in the 70s, and with the landmark fusion band, Return To Forever. We learn about when the now-iconic “School Days” bass line came to Stanley, and about how RTF-band-mate Chick Corea convinced Stanley to start writing years before that. Stanley elaborates on the importance of Art Blakey, and about how Clarke was so moved by John Coltrane that he at one point even seriously considered ditching his bass to play sax. Stanley also talks about his recent work with the Smithsonian, how he chose to play Alembic bass. and the great honor recently bestowed upon him by the Montreal Jazz Festival. Stanley very much continues to make amazing music today, and the genesis and ethos of his poignant 2018 release, The Message is discussed. Stanley benefits from the compositional and performance talents of some incredible young musicians on this record, many of which are discussed including Cameron Graves (a founding member of West Coast Get Down) and Beka Gochiashvili (who was discovered by Condoleeza Rice in Georgia, the former Soviet republic). Perhaps best of all for some, Stanley shares some memories about jazz pioneer, Charles Mingus. Before the episode ends Seth shares his experiences at the Hulaween Festival in Florida, and Rob talks about seeing Bob Dylan in North Carolina and Bob Weir and The Wolf Brothers in Tennessee.We're proud to partner with Ben & Jerry’s to help raise awareness of The WaterWheel Foundation.

Seth and Rob had one night together before they won’t see each other for several weeks, so they fired up this spontaneous episode. After a nod to Ben and Jerry’s new “It’s Ice…..Cream” flavor, Polay and Clark, Osiris and the Alternate Routes podcast, the hosts announce that friends of the show Great Peacock and Infamous Stringdusters will be doing four dates together March 27-30. The hosts talk about Great Peacock and play their recent track “Rattlesnake,” which features Tom Blankenship of My Morning Jacket on bass. Upcoming show events are discussed including Atlanta’s Holiday Hootenanny which will take place at The Variety Playhouse on December 20, and features Peter Rowan, Larry Keel, Jeff Mosier and others. Then the guys talk about the coming Umphrey’s McGee New Year’s run, and in particular the December 29th show. Tauk have agreed to divert their routing so that they can open that show, and late-night reignite the ferocious hybrid Tauking McGee. The guys talk about Tauk’s 2018 Shapeshifter II release and they end the episode by playing, “”Recreational Outrage” from that cd. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While Seth and Rob were in the midst of a memorable weekend of male bonding at Electric Forest last summer, they were able to huddle with Matt Butler in a backstage room in a far corner of the festival and record an interview that Osiris has kindly allowed Inside Out wTnS to use for its own program. First, Seth and Rob talk about the late Ricky Keller, a brilliant Atlanta musician who used to "conduct" the Zambiland Orchestra in the 90s and early 00's. They see this as a precursor to Matt's Everyone Orchestra. Butler essentially conducts a rotating cast of musicians to present a wildly spontaneous performance in a similar fashion to how Keller would with the Zambiland Orchestra. Matt talks early in the interview about the one time he was A MEMBER OF the Zambiland Orchestra, a moment we at Inside Out wTnS see in retrospect as a major passing of the improvisational torch. The hosts peel back the layers and learn how Butler got EO off the ground, how he initially got musicians to "buy into" what he was doing with EO, how he goes into each show with a clean slate, and how "the spirit lives in the dynamics." He also talks about the varying excitement between working with musicians for the first time, and about how most eventually get into the spirit. However, he also talks about the benefit of creating with musicians with whom he has worked many times as things can get rolling from a more advantageous standpoint. Butler makes clear he is not "telling people what to do, he is humbly asking them to bring their presence and to allow him to respond to their inputs." He also relates specific experiences about working with Adrian Belew and Phil Lesh. Butler grew up in Eugene and his Mother had worked with the de factor Eugene Mayor Of The Bolos and Bozos, and he relates much insight on this legendary man. Butler did get to explain Everyone Orchestra to Kesey when it was still just a thought, and Kesey was delighted by the idea. Butler recalls how his previous main band, Jambay (a jamband with the name "jam" in it who existed before the name was coined) won a talent show at a Kesey event, and in turn almost opened up for The Grateful Dead. Matt also talks about how he was able to bring his improvisational ethos into the studio, and the result was the cd, Brooklyn Sessions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A discussion about Ozomatli's Embrace The Chaos leads hosts Seth and Rob to relate some of their memories of the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy as this excellent record was released on this day. Social media recently revealed that Ozomatli performances in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 served as vital and joyous therapy for many who attended. Seth's son Darral joins for the first part of the interview with Ulises Bella and Justin Poree of Ozomatli, as the band had just finished the most recent Atlanta "Ozokidz" performance. Darral lends a child's perspective with his questions about this widely celebrated, audience participation-heavy series. The band's bassist, and self-proclaimed Darral fan Wil-Dog Abers also joins in the fun spontaneously to field a couple of questions. We learn not only about the revelry that goes on with regard to these events, but also how Ozokidz is in part a reflection of the band's genesis in music education and outreach programs in southern California public schools. The main portion of the interview begins with a discussion of the band's most recent release, Non-Stop: Mexico to Jamaica. We learn how the band decided to take classic and/or traditional Mexican songs and adorn them with roots'y vibes and Jamaican rhythms, and how they ended up working with Sly and Robbie. The chat makes its way to other musical artists, particularly Los Lobos, Santana, Rage Against The Machine and Ghostland Observatory, The band's frightening experiences at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, and another time when members were arrested in Austin are also each covered, as is their love for, and association with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The conversation even floats into the realm of politics for a bit, and how the band's is often inaccurately reduced to being nothing more than a, "political band."wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Seth and Rob excitedly call Jennifer Hartswick to discuss the heavily anticipated release of a record the recording of which theses three had already discussed in Episode 32 of this podcast. The record is called "Nexus," will be release September 7 and she recorded it with guitarist Nick Cassarino (Nth Power) and Christian McBride (has worked with everybody, listen to episode for specifics) - and the track "Numb" from it is debuted at the end of the episode. Jennifer talks about how Nick evidenced brilliance so early on that she immediately started hiring him for work when he was in his mid-teens, and how he was a key part of this recording. Each of the three people in this conversation has his/her own ocean of respect for Christian McBride, so his brilliance is most certainly discussed. Jennifer even offers her response to a McBride quote about jazz record producers. She talks about how the record is a mix of very tight arrangements and ones which benefited from a bit of looseness. Jennifer also elaborates on the variety of rooms she plays and how they work differently for different types of performances. Seth offers his hope that this record will expose more people to jazz and Jennifer explains how she is already gaining new fans from the Jazz and Blues worlds even thought the record is still mostly just a buzz (not released yet). Jennifer also talks about Mobile, Nigel Hall, when Trey Anastasio met Tom Petty and she assures us that Trey is back in a happy place after the sorrow related with his band's festival being cancelled well past the, "11th hour." Perhaps best of all, Jennifer pokes fun at each host which is an example of just one of the reasons why she is one of this podcast's favorite guests. Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob sit down with Mimi Naja of Fruition at the Electric Forest Festival in Michigan and initially talk about what it's like to be playing traditional instruments at a primarily electronic music festival. Mimi ends up explaining the thinking behind the band's decision to bring into the studio the rock feel of their live shows and their decision to go with producer Tucker Martine. Martine taught the band many things, helped them add layers to their sound and he is the chief reason that Mimi decided to play some baritone guitar on the record. The result is by far their greatest record to day, "Watching It All Fall Apart." The trio also discuss how the band's breakup songs contain elements of hope and accountability. We hear a bit about Mimi's days as a Georgia youth and explains her decision to leave Georgia and go to school in Portland. She would leave school and then clicking with a group of musicians while playing Marley and Sublime tunes. These folks would end up becoming Fruition. We learn about the band's the early days, and some of the antics that went on as the band grew (like "song-bombing" Vince Herman). She also talks about how she used to leave pronouns out of her songwriting because of all of the homophobia in the world, but that she has more recently eschewed this approach and been forthcoming with her sexuality. Mimi also explains specific reasons why Atlanta-based musician Janelle Monelle is an inspiration to her, and the fluid nature of sexuality in the music world. Speaking of inspirations, the discussion most certainly gets to stories about Greensky Bluegrass, Elephant Revival, The Infamous Stringdusters and other of Fruition's "Crazy Uncles and Aunts." She also expresses love for her own band's fans, which she calls the "Fruit'y Freaks." Seth and Rob then wrap up the show catching up the listeners on show news during one of the few times they were together last month. Speaking from a coffee shop in Black Mountain, NC they also discuss North Carolina in general, and specifically their day together there. The show ends with more Fruition music including Mimi and band mates Jay Cobb Anderson and Kellen Asebroek sitting in with Railroad Earth and performing Fruition's "Mountain Annie" at the idyllic Red Rocks.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Seth and Rob give a quick introduction to set the table for a collaborative interview with Mike Wilson of Voodoo Visionary and Nick MacDaniels of Big Something. Voodoo will be performing at the Big Something-hosted-and-curated Big What Festival the weekend after this episode is released. This conversation begins on common ground with a discussion of DJ Logic and Turkuaz as each band has collaborated with each of these artists. The quartet segues neatly into a discussion about selecting and working with producers and then Nick sheds light on the learning curve that goes along with throwing one's own festival and the importance of creating something special with a friendly atmosphere. Nick also opens up about losing his best friend, and one of the chief creative forces behind Big Something, Paul Interdonato....when things get a little heavy Mike steps up and talks about some of Voodoo's biggest non-musician influences. Each of them also speak about the support (and lack thereof) as well as some of their frustrations with local media in each of their markets. The musicians also share a "gig nightmare" story each, and they discuss some of their most recent material (including Nick elaborating on specific songs from their 2018 release The Otherside). Nick also reveals which verse of the brilliant "Sundown Nomad" was written by Mister, who will perform with Big Something at The Big What (Nick also waxes on some of his favorite collaborations over the years). Then we are all treated to solo versions of Big Something songs "UFO's Are Real" and "The Cave" from the 2017 release Tumbleweed delivered by the ever-gracious MacDaniels. Seth and Rob then wrap up the show with some musical world thoughts of their own, including reports about recent shows each has seen (Phish, Patti Griffin, Amanda Shires and others) and Rob's appearance on the Alpharetta version of the Osiris Phish Couch Report.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Rob and Seth call Robert Walter in honor of his decision to debut his new track "Most Of All Of Us" on Inside Out wTnS. Walter offers insight on the unique nature of his forthcoming new release Spacesuit. Like his others, this release features Roberts classic, and oft-times jazz-flavored organ work. However this one also features elements of sci-fi, Dub Reggae, 70s fusion and even Krautrock. We learn here how Robert's fascination with science fiction and with comic books inspired this release. Robert details the inspiration behind and the execution of some of the tracks on this excellent release. We also hear about his fellow musicians - Simon Lott on drums, Victor Little on bass and Chris Alford on guitar. He also offers a little window into his musical relationships with Mike Gordon and Karl Denson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob and Seth return to Terminal West to pick Eddie Roberts’ brain about all things New Mastersounds. However, the conversation kicks off with Eddie explaining how his new band Matador came together, and how he and the other musicians (Alan Evans, Kevin Scott, Chris Spies, Adryon de Leon and Kimberly Dawson) came together and that they plan on making this a permanent band, as opposed to a mere, "project." They also talk about how the most recent New Mastersounds cd Renewable Energy is appropriately-titled, and how it represented a number of firsts for the band. We learn about how some of the songs were inspired and titled, particularly “Chicago Girl” - and how the Chicago Girl suggested a cover with which none of the band members were familiar, yet which still made the record. Eddie also explains how de Leon’s creative input on this record is different from how he expects it will continue to be in Matador, and about why tNM is starting to become more interested in recording records “live” in the studio. We learn how the band’s songwriting has evolved from Eddie being the clear principal source to its current predominantly collaborative nature. Eddie talks about how his picking style comes from his jazz and classical background, and why his playing style is closer to that of a bluegrass player than a rock player. He also relates about how John Scofield almost lost a gig to a storm that happened while Eddie was dining with him, and shares some Sco insight. This leads to a discussion about Miles Davis which in turn leads to Eddie comparing and contrasting one way his approach differs from that of the virtuosic organist, Robert Walter. He also relates some of his experiences with Corrine Bailey Rae as Eddie has known her since she was a bartender and watched her have repeated success starting with her being only the fourth British act in history to have her debut cd debut at Number 1 on the Billboard charts. Eddie also explains some of the ways tNM's early days playing in London impacted the type of players they are today (for more on this, check out Episode 15 with tNM drummer Simon Allen). We also find out what motivated Eddie to start his successful charitable organization, The Payback and about how Eddie felt about getting to work with heroes of his like Ernest Ranglin and The Meters.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

"Rob and Seth take over the patio at Arden’s Garden in the Little Five Points section of Atlanta to interview, and even enjoy some brief performances from Jon Stickley. This Chapel Hill/Durham-based acoustic musician may very well owe some of his fiery approach to bands indigenous to “The Triangle” (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) like Polvo and SharkQuest. Stickley talks about their influence, and about his days drumming in punk bands. He would meet Andy “Crawdad” Thorn (Larry Keel Experience, Leftover Salmon) in high school, and when Thorn gave Jon some Bela Fleck and David Grisman cds, Jon’s life was forever changed. Even while playing in punk bands and his own indie rock band (an experience that would ultimately be key in his songwriting development), Jon would become a fervent fan and student of bluegrass and the mandolin. While an opportunity to be an assistant park ranger in Alaska did not allow him to accept Anders Beck’s (Greensky Bluegrass) initial invitation for him to join Broke Mountain, he would eventually join them on guitar. He also revisited the mandolin to tour with North Carolina bands the Biscuit Burners and Town Mountain. However a fellow musician noticed his strong love of the guitar and encouraged Jon to focus on that. Jon agreed and would in turn decide to start his own band. Around this same time Billy Gilmore (Grass Is Dead) introduced Jon to Lyndsay Pruitt. Pruitt had toured with Black Mozart Ensemble, a side project of Flecktones drummer, “Futureman.” Pruitt would join Jon’s trio, and her playing quickly became an immediate influence on Jon’s songwriting. We also learn about the unusual residency their new drummer Hunter “JamChops” Deacon experienced. The band not only does more “off the map” improvisation since Deacon joined, but some of these improvisations have also become seeds for future compositions. During the closing segment, Seth and Rob share some of their experiences at this year’s Electric Forest festival and we are treated to two songs from the Jon Stickley Trio cd, Maybe Believe.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Between Snarky Puppy’s recent captivating pair of Atlanta shows, Rob and Seth chatted with its founder (who just won a Grammy for Culcha Vulcha) and co-founder of the GroundUP Music label, Michael League. This label’s truly unique, annual and independent GroundUP Music Festival in Miami Beach, Florida is an extension of the group’s ethos, so it is discussed first. We learn about how they chose to hold the fest in Miami Beach and about the challenges and rewards of running a festival at which shining a light on truly brilliant artists is more important than ticket sales. Michael also talks about how his producing work has become increasingly diverse and he tells stories specifically about working with Eliades Ochoa (Buena Vista Social Club) and David Crosby. Michael talks about how his playing has been influenced by Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Krantz, and he goes on to reveal why he has evidenced such loyalty to musicians and other peers who have been with him and the band for years. We also get a window into his process creating music to execute with Metropole Orkest, collaborating with Jules Buckley (he “plugged the music into the score”) all of which landed the band one of their Grammy’s for Sylva. Michael also touches on the writing process for Snarky Puppy, one which often involves a slew of extremely talented musicians, and he talks about how the band’s live shows remain cohesive despite their rotating line-ups and tendency to improvise. He also touches on his other band, Bokanté, and what the future holds for them. The ever-effusive League elaborates on many other topics and the episode ends with live versions of Snarky Puppy performing “Tarova” and GroundUP’s latest amazing artist Alina Engibaryan singing “We Are,” each from a recent Atlanta show.Make sure you head on over to livesnarky.com to listen to the band's two-night run in Atlanta and many more available shows!Music used for this episode as inspiration and also speaking points can be found on a Spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/user/shimoner/playlist/7ttTU8JvD0YXpBJWMiUiVB?si=-9cT5jOCRrmodKGgin1MTAwTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Seth and Rob first discuss the various events this podcast will take part in during the upcoming SweetWater 420 Music Festival in Atlanta. Then the focus turns onto Jerry Joseph as we hear an interview recorded at David Barbe's Athens studio during Jerry's first days recording with a brand new band full of songwriters. Jerry is an accomplished singer, front man and lyricist and the founding member of Little Women, The Jackmormons, Stockholm Syndrome (which featured Dave Schools of the band that has greatly benefited from Jerry's songwriting, Widespread Panic) and this current project which is for now called Interstellar Boys. Jerry talks about how it has been a tad rare for him to play off of another guitar since his early Little Women days despite the fact that dual guitar has over the years served his music quite well. Then we learn how he began his world travels as a way to provide a actual adventure for his loyal fans. Over time this morphed into him becoming an even more extremely conscious international citizen himself. He has done great work in Nicaragua, Afghanistan and Iraq among other places. He even lost a Tel Aviv gig once because, "war broke out." Despite hating the actual word "empowerment," Joseph relates how he in fact helps to empower children by fearlessly traveling to war zones to provide equipment, share his music, encourage their music and teach guitar. Jerry's song "Giraffe" gets analyzed and then the trio hops into the "Wayback Machine" and Jerry relates how Ricky Nelson was pretty much how Jerry would initially find music and how he developed as a performer and how music helped him get through some very difficult times particularly during his days in New Zealand (Seth speculates with regard to what New Zealand's "Shalom" is. We also hear Jerry give a strikingly candid assessment with regard to how he has handled his own anger over the years and about the extent to which he views his own career as a success versus a failure.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comAll social media promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan.wTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Episode 54 begins with Seth and Rob giving their thanks, discussing a new partnership with Osiris Podcast Network and CashOrTrade.Org and then they move on to discuss our upcoming live event on March 28, 2018 at City Winery Atlanta. Then they revisit their most recent live event which was at City Winery last fall. We hear their live interviews from that night featuring Steve Lopez (Tour Manager of Widespread Panic and others) and also DJ Logic, where Rob & Seth ask about his early childhood music influences and go on to discuss his newest endeavor, named Project Logic.

Seth and Rob call Adam Deitch's father Bobby to discuss his own musical history as it relates to his accomplished son. We learn about how he and his one Uncle were a huge influence, and how in his case, the teacher became the student. They then chat with Adam and compare and contrast his work with Break Science and Lettuce, and they even touch upon new things on which his jazz quartet is working. He speaks of how hip-hop, particularly Redman and Method Man, helped him to develop his style as a drummer and as a producer. We get a little window into his creative process and he speaks of the challenges and rewards of playing with Lettuce. Adam explains how Galactic and Greyboy Allstars paved the way for Lettuce's success and then gets into the "Wayback Machine" to discuss his days learning about music in his boyhood home where the television was secondary to the stereo, and how his parents' enthusiasm for music rubbed off on him. He speaks of his first rock n roll experience seeing Living Color live. Then Adam discusses many of the talented people he met at the Berklee School of Music where he met many people with whom he still plays today. He speaks about how he "owes 10% of his career" to Eric Krasno as Kras not only do we learn that he landed Lettuce their initial gigs, but we also find out that he facilitated their initial meeting with John Scofield.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comwTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Seth and Rob spend part of the intro talking about Benny “Burle” Galloway who is discussed extensively in this portion of the interview, and who is part of this podcast’s third live event at City Winery on March 28. In the interview we hear about the young Anders Beck heard a dobro come out of a tent at Telluride Bluegrass and was lured over first to the tent, and then to the world of a dobro. He would quickly dive in and become a rabid learner, and with extensive practice and the strict and candid tutelage of Sally Van Meter he was able to raise above the significant “virtuosity bar” of the bluegrass world. We learn about an inspiring Leftover Salmon show and his early days in Broke Mountain and how a fortuitous encounter while working in a music store would become the genesis for the Wayward Sons. This is the interview when Rob dubs Benny “Berle” Galloway the “Col Bruce of Colorado” (which has morphed into “Colorado Colonel.”) as Anders talks extensively about how he was influenced by this low-key enigmatic Colorado icon. The discussion moves briefly to songwriting in general and how writing credits are handed out, before returning to his formative days in the Wayward Sons. We even hear about how around how Anders would ultimately ask to join a band that he had onced judged at a contest, Greensky Bluegrass. Rob’s Nathan Moore "Hippie Fiasco" shirt leads to a conversation about how Anders and his bandmate Paul Hoffman had met Turner while hanging out for hours at “The Spot” on JamCruise. Anders also offers some insight about collaborating with Phil Lesh on Grateful Dead AND Greensky Bluegrass material and how the band goaded him to “take the reigns” a little bit. We also talk about he inspired by his philanthropic parents (who knew Arthur Ashe and started many tennis related non-profits) and girlfriend Hilary (who started a Colorado company to help businesses define their charitable goals and connecting them with appropriate non-profits).wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comwTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

This episode Seth and Rob excitedly announce their upcoming live event at City Winery on March 28. This event features Benny “Burle” Galloway and the subject of this interview, Greensky Bluegrass dobroist Anders Beck. The hosts chatted with him backstage at The Tabernacle before the band’s wonderful show there last fall. They talk about the way Greensky had on their previous Atlanta visit honored legendary Phish shows which had happened in the same room 24 years previous to Greensky's January visit there. We also hear about Mike Gordon attending one of Greensky’s previous Atlanta shows. We learn how much effort the band puts into their setlists, Beck speaks of the significance of the “One Up” in Denver and he also shares the unusual evolution of the song “In Control” as well as a triumphant moment in the studio while recording, “Living Over.” We also learn some of his views on improvisation, about the influence of Leftover Salmon and his feelings about working with the excellent producer Steve Berlin. There are also great stories throughout, including one in which a certain scolding the band received at San Francisco’s Fillmore turned into a moment of celebration.wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.www.joshthaneproductions.comwww.wonderdogsounds.comwTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

InsideOut wTnS debuts on the Osiris Podcast Network (www.osirispod.com) with an "Awards-show" style 50th episode. Hosts Rob Turner and Seth Weiner play and discuss four categories of clips. After a "Best Reveal" start, the hosts in typical fashion choose to poke fun at themselves with the remaining categories - "Worst Interruption," "Worst Question," and "Worst Reveal." Amidst these categories are four "Best" performances from previous episodes which feature exclusive live songs from Sam Bush, Randall Bramblett and Kevn Kinney as well as an episode-closing one from Geoff Achison. The other categories feature portions of previous episodes featuring Col. Bruce Hampton, Jon Fishman, Brendan Bayliss, John Bell, Simon Allen, Marcus King, Jennifer Hartswick, Joel Cummins, Marc Brownstein, Al Schnier and others Hosted on Acast.

This episode begins with a fortuitously-timed incoming phone call from Robert Polay, the founding partner of this podcast's first formal sponsor Polay + Clark. Seth shares his ideas for their new company slogan and Polay approves. Then Rob and Seth chat with Jeff Franca of Thievery Corporation before that band's recent performance at The Tabernacle (Atlanta, GA). They first talk about his other band, Congo Sanchez. Franca speaks of how the death of his brother, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine inspired the band's thematic debut album, We learn the extent to which improvisation plays into this band's work in the studio and live. Rob then asks about Thievery's gloriously bossa nova-flavored 2014 release Saudade, and their roots-dub-dance hall reggae-focused 2017 release The Temple of I and I. Then we learn how the Clifton, Virginia product (who was for a time an "orchestra dork and even performed at the Kennedy Center) ultimately found artists like Fugazi and the music world which surrounded the legendary 18th Street Lounge, the latter of which escorted him into the world of Thievery Corporation. We also find out that on this night there were some changes made in Thievery's live act, how much the band improvises and areas into which he would love to see the band dive in the future. Franca expounds on many other topics, including the oxymoron that is "rhythmic imperfection," how Haitian and Cuban music influenced him and how he and other band members talked Thievery into committing to, and then executed their sets of Grateful Dead music. Then Rob talks about his return to writing and Seth reports back from his experience as a couple of destination concerts and the 2017 season of Inside Out wTnS comes to a close. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com wTnS Sponsor: Polay + Clark 21st Century Accounting (Don't wait till April and get fucked, get Polayed) www.polayclark.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth call Jefferson Waful to ask him about the recent commentary piece produced by Luke Stratton of The Light Side podcast. Stratton and Waful offered a fascinating window into Waful’s lighting process in general, and specifically incorporating video elements during Umphrey’s McGee’s recent show at The Capitol Theater, and some key points are explored further. They also ask him about his decision to finally incorporate some lasers into the Umphrey’s McGee show, which occurred during the band’s New Year’s run at The Fillmore in Denver, CO. They also manage to annoy him by the end. Is great fun. Give it a listen. ::::::RAW AUDIO:::::: This episode is in raw format with no sound edits. Please excuse the levels.

It all started with Rob’s idea to have Marc Brownstein on for the intro for the Jeff Franco (of Thievery Corporation) episode. “Brownie” is not only a BIG fan of Thievery Corporation, but his band The Disco Biscuits has hosted them at their annual Camp Bisco Festival. Being in the spirit of the holidays and having just spoken about health recovery of moe.’s bassist Rob Derhak beating cancer, Seth thought it might be funny to call Al Schnier and have Al pretend to be Rob Turner during the chat with Brownie. What ensued went well enough to become it’s own episode. Amidst the fun, many topics were discussed including how this year’s approach to their New Years setlists was much different than years past and Al talking about getting back together with his moe. band mates and much, much more… wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

After a brief music chat, Seth and Rob sit down with Andy Falco and Chris Pandolfi of the Infamous Stringdusters before The Dusters’ Atlanta show this past fall and confer on this fantastic band. Since this interview, The Stringdusters band has been nominated for a Grammy for its Laws Of Gravity release - which is also the initial topic here. The band talks about this record represents a back-to-the-core coalescence of the its previous releases and approaches. They discuss their thoughts behind the choice to wait for new songs to be released before performing them. Other decision points are analyzed, like those behind sharing songwriting credits amongst each other and efforts to make sure each member’s musical voice is heard equally on each release and/or performance. The hosts and guests acknowledge the varying parameters of bluegrass, and the extent to which The Stringdusters feel compelled to adhere to them. We learn the importance of capturing the “expression factor” of each player, and how the lyrical and historical context of each song ultimately informs the performance. A discussion about the band’s Ladies and Gentlemen release leads to Nicki Bluhm. Nicki hooked the band up with Ryan Adams, and these two Dusters share some Ryan stories including how they prepared for the tour, their first performance with him, a spontaneous Black Sabbath cover, how Ryan “went to bat” for them on Colbert and some funny Ryan crowd interactions. Before Chris had to depart he discussed his thoughts behind his famous “Bluegrass Manifesto,” and how it attracted the ire of many bluegrass purists. Chris acknowledges that he was inspired by Bela Fleck to play bluegrass in the first place, and he denies that the “infamous” part of the band’s name was by design. When the focus shifts to Andy, we find out that he was in many New York bands including the Water Street Blues Band. He talks about how David Bromberg and Buddy Merriam stoked the fire of his interest in acoustic music, and how Merriam essentially taught him how to play bluegrass. We find out how Andy ended up meeting the Stringdusters’ guys and how he found his way in the band. Andy also shares some of his Stringdusters experiences, including the preparation for and execution of their Lockn set with Page McConnell and Phil Lesh. Then Seth and Rob take us home with a conversation of their own which starts with a discussion of the interview and then many music topics including the Dead and Company show the hosts had seen together just before completing this episode. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth sit down with Brock Butler of Perpetual Groove and discuss the ways he has post-hiatus been easing his way back into the band's world while still trying to "clean up and tighten up" his life after suffering from addiction. After an exploration of the band's new songwriting process and its near future, we go back to the PGroove roots in Savannah 20 years ago. We learn about how the initial line-up came about at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and how that lineup would morph into the classic Perpetual Groove line-up. We learn how they didn't even play a note before what would have been their first gig was shut down. We find out that half of the band was active military in the group's early days. Brock's view of the evolution the band's career is also explored. We get a window into the process behind the writing of Perpetual Groove favorites including, "Three Weeks," perhaps their most well-known original. We learn specific ways in which David Gilmour and Steve Kimock were influences. We find out that he was still "using" while working on the band's "Heal" cd. Toward the end of the interview, the trio talks a good bit about addiction, how low Brock got and how he found his way out. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.

Seth and Rob start the show by hinting at exciting podcast developments which they discuss in more depth during the post-interview portion of the episode. The duo sat down with with founding member and frontman of Leftover Salmon Vince Herman in honor of the much anticipated Leftover Salmon’s acoustic fall tour and their chat provides the bulk of this episode. The cozy confines of the Hunt House in Marietta, Georgia provide an ideal setting as Herman talks about how his eclectic musical taste grew out of his teenage experiences at the weeks-long multiple genre annual musician-interactive-heavy Augusta Heritage Festival in Elkins, West Virginia. Herman ultimately moved from a chilly West Virginia attic to the acoustic music promised land of Colorado and he came across a notice for a Left-Hand String Band show literally upon arrival. Left-Hand String Band and Herman’s eventual own band Salmon Heads would eventually give birth to Leftover Salmon. Vince talks about mandolin-toting football moves with David Grisman, the mythology of Peter Rowan, how having Jeff Sipe and Billy Payne in tow impacted LoS, how Waylon Jennings always hated country music and he even tells a harrowing David Allen Coe story. We learn how Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and David Bromberg were the main inspirations for the initial Leftover Salmon ethos, and how they, with John Bell recorded (in one take) a song Bromberg had taught Vince. We learn about the similarities between founding member Mark Vann and the banjo player who replaced him Andy Thorn and what LoS did the time Neil Young wandered onto their stage. A discussion about the tour with his son Silas which brought him to Hunt House ensues and we find out that this “Herman Original” was initially pretty much compelled by friends to pursue music, and how Georgia music-lovers had been impressed by him. Herman also discusses how Ralph Roddenbery specifically, and the Metro Atlanta music scene in general provided many highlights of his tour with his son. This podcast also once again offers the genesis of yet another eventual JamCruise activity, “Chemical Experiments with Mr. Wizard,” and Herman gives some hints toward the true significance of Mayor McCheese. Then a discussion about parallel universes serves as an ideal prelude to an, at times heavy discussion about Col. Bruce Hampton and his final performance. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.

Seth and Rob go backstage at Chastain Park Amphitheater where the hosts sat down with Andy Farag (percussion) and Joel Cummins (keyboards/vocals) of Umphrey’s McGee and discuss future Halloween’s and how sharing a five-bedroom Chicago apartment while recording their latest album ("it's not us." due out in January 2018) allowed the band to “live and breathe Umphrey’s music” while they recorded. We get a window into the creative process including how a piece of the song “Educated Guess” ended up on, “Similar Skin.” The musicians take us back to pre-Umphrey’s days, how they met, the significance of the band Stomper Bob and Andy’s Father. We learn about the near-demise of Umphrey’s when original drummer Mike Mirro informed the band he was leaving, and then about how the band was reenergized and refocused when drummer Kris Myers joined, and how Myers, in turn, influenced some of their arrangements. Joel discusses how key their attentive fan base is to the process of how certain sections of improv go from being “Repeated Stews” to becoming composed songs, and how he “found his way” in a guitar-heavy band, and “setlist probation.” Andy talks about how Giovanni Hidalgo and Eric Bobo inspired him and how he benefits from Jake’s percussive approach to guitar. Perhaps best of all we get window into the thought process behind “on the fly” setlist decisions and the story behind their collaboration with Aaron “Gene Ween” Freeman and how explained his previous “some Umphrey’s McGee Bullshit” comment to the band. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Before diving into the world of the Main Squeeze, Seth and Rob briefly share their thoughts on the loss of Tom Petty and the recent horror at a Las Vegas music festival. In honor of the interview being conducted on the 50th Anniversary of the release of Jimi Hendrix’ landmark Are You Experienced record, it begins with guitarist Max Newman talking about how Hendrix inspired him to put down the cello and start playing guitar. Vocalist Corey Frye and Keyboardist Ben “Smiley” Silverstein soon join in to walk us through how a summer camp in New York and the Indiana University were vital parts of the genesis of The Main Squeeze. We learn how Randy Jackson became interested the band and helped them nurture their “sound without a sound.” The band talks about its judicious use of modern studio techniques when producing their most recent cd, the aptly-titled “Without a Sound.” We hear about the band co-billing with The Roots and Jane’s Addiction at a Super Bowl party, wowing crowds in Asia while winning an international music contest and how a late night JazzFest guest appearance from Shaun Martin of Snarky Puppy turned into a moment of on stage resilience and hilarity. Rob mentions how the band’s “Colorful Midst” reminded him of the Godfather of this Podcast, Col. Bruce Hampton which unfolds into a conversation about Bruce’s final performance and particularly its impact on the young guitarist, Brandon “Taz” Neiderauer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth and Rob talk about Leftover Salmon’s stripped-down tour this autumn, during part one of two in an Inside Out wTnS series on the band. Drew Emmitt elaborated on a variety of topics backstage at the Hampton 70 event earlier this year at the Fox Theatre, during which he correctly predicts the overwhelming nature of the night that lay before him and an all-star cast. Emmitt talks about meeting the Col. and touring with the Aquarium Rescue Unit, how Vince Herman can sometimes “turn into Bruce for a while” and how the COl. taught Leftover Salmon to toss away preconceived notions and play from their soul, instead of their mind. Drew also discusses a more creative touring schedule in 2018, how Salmon evolved while touring with Bill Payne and Jeff Sipe, and recording in Nashville with Waylon Jennings, Earl Scruggs and John Bell. Fans of Hot Tuna, Neil Young and Phish will enjoy his stories of collaborations with each artist. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio.

This week on Episode 43, Rob and Seth release their interview with Marcus King in advance of his band's first-ever "Family Reunion" festival, which will happen at the Pisgah Brewing Company on October 6 & 7.” Marcus covers a bevy of topics, including his early days guesting in his father's Christian blues band, growing up in South Carolina and how current stalwarts in the music scene (Jimmy Herring, Brendan Bayliss, Jake Cinninger and Snarky Puppy) inspired him to explore a variety of tones and to go home and practice his guitar more. The young phenom also speaks on creating new music and why he shares publishing with his band mates, some of his, perhaps surprising influences, his approach to performing as a guest musician and even demonstrates a knowledge of the long-lost legendary guitarist Danny Gatton. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob update the listeners on the coming wTnS Live event at City Winery on September 19th. Then Turner explains who Denny Walley is and describes his own efforts to procure this interview backstage at Hampton70. Denny talks about his Colonel memories, including the fact that while he was in a band called The Detours, he was at one point in the same room with Colonel Bruce Hampton, but the two would not meet until many years later. Denny talks about going to a desert high school with Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and James "Motorhead" Sherwood, and how Motor recommended Denny to Zappa, and the strange way Walley endeared himself to FZ which would ultimately land him on Zappa's "Bongo Fury" Tour. Denny also discusses Capt. Beefheart's unusual creative process, and how a guy named John French was key to its success. He also tells about how he and Motorhead blew their side project's chance at a major record deal because they pre-crashed an Elton John party in hilarious fashion. Rob shares a story about how he blew his one chance to meet Zappa and then we return to backstage at Atlanta's Fox Theater for the full chat with Widespread Panic's John Bell. Bell talks extensively about Col. Bruce Hampton and shares a few legendary Bruce stories. Bell also reveals that he is considerably less enthusiastic about seeing concerts himself these days than he had been not too long ago. He apparently even has to be careful not to lose himself in the music of his opening acts. Rob responds to Bell's point about Colonel giving him the inspiration to be himself on stage by asking about Bell's improvised raps, and Bell reluctantly discusses this unique talent, eventually identifying Van Morrison's as his chief influence (leading Turner to suggest that WsP cover Morrison's "Real Real Gone" with Randall Bramblett and the MegaBlasters). Bell also explains how lineup changes have invigorated Widespread Panic over the years, and specifically speaks to how they worked keyboardist JoJo Hermann's clavinet into their sound in the 90s. Then Seth and Rob argue over how their next live event is billed, and Turner tells his story of being calmed down by Bell during the dreary post-Hampton70 chaos. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth discuss their experiences with Railroad Earth including Rob’s memories of when he saw RRE front man Todd Scheaffer’s band, From Good Homes open for Bob Weir and Ratdog the night after Jerry Garcia died. A brief discussion of this podcast’s fast-approaching live event at City Winery Atlanta September 19th takes us to to Seth and Rob sitting down with Tim Carbone (The Contribution, Railroad Earth) for a thorough examination of what makes him a truly special human and musician. Tim talks about how this summer Railroad Earth was forced to adjust to the temporary-but-still-painful loss of founding member, multi-instrumentalist Andy Goessling - who was "on the disabled list." We learn how they relied on top notch players to step up, sit in and help out - particularly Chris Pandolfi and Matt Slocumb who kept things compelling for RRE loyalists by being part of bringing forth unusual versions of songs in the RRE lexicon - specifically Slocumb on, “Morning Flies." Carbone explains in detail exactly how Psychedelia earned itself an assist with regard to the genesis of his adventurous side project, The Contribution. Tim talks about the band first doing a session in a cabin in Woodacre, California, then working in Laughing Tiger Studios in San Rafeal and eventually recording at Bob Weir’s state-of-the-art TRI Studios in Marin County - elaborating specifically about TRI’s "microphone guru," Rick Vargas. Vargas was vital to the success of their recording and Tim still uses techniques he learned from Vargas during this time. He also relates how he initially became interested in violin, and then how his personal experiences (including a stint playing harmonica in a blues band) and hearing artists like Paul Butterfield and Don “Sugarcane” Harris shaped his approach to playing. Tim tells of his days in The Blue Sparks From Hell, and their string-band bluegrass alter-ego band (each with future Railroad Earth bandmate Andy Goessling). Tim recounts some of the legendary New York shows he saw as an audience member, including his various Fleetwood Mac experiences, detailed accounts of his favorite Traffic shows and his memory of the legendary Grateful Dead SUNY 1970 Halloween show. He also speaks of shaking hands with Muddy Waters, playing in bands with Rick Danko, attending Danko's funeral and meeting future band mates and other significant folks at New York’s legendary music club, The Wetlands. We learn of how Railroad Earth landed the Telluride Bluegrass Festival for their 10th gig, and how the band would unfold from there. He talks about working with various engineers including John Siket of Phish “phame.” Tim conveys what it is like working with RRE’s brilliant Todd Scheaffer, identifying specifically Scheaffer’s feel for melody, knowledge of songwriting and familiarity with literature as reasons for Todd's excellence. He also shares his memory of sitting in with the Allman Brothers’ Band, and then how he, and in turn Railroad Earth evolved from casually collaborating with, to becoming full-on recording partners on Ashes and Dust with jamband icon Warren Haynes. Other icons discussed are Buddy Cage, David Nelson, the timeless David Bromberg and this program's Godfather, Col. Bruce Hampton. We hear music from Tim’s band The Contribution, including the debut of “So Long, Farewell” in its entirety, which is paired with “Raven’s Child” from Railroad Earth’s most recent cd Captain Nowhere. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

The Big Something high-stepped it into the ad hoc studios just blocks away from the 2017 Sweetwater Music and Arts Festival and sat down with Rob and Seth for a playful interview that captures their unique personalities. After a brief introduction from Big Something fan and collaborator Kris Myers (drums/vocals Umphrey’s McGee) we learn about the band’s songwriting process, the importance of its hidden member Paul Interdonato, the pluses and minuses of being from central North Carolina and how Buck Williams and Mike Mills ended up at a Big Something gig in Wilmington, North Carolina. We also learn about just how important the producer John Custer has been to the band’s development and the low-key way he brings forth his pivotal insight. Custer’s uses his sense of humor and general good nature to make what otherwise might be difficult-to-receive criticism and insight. The band speaks of their close friend and mentor Lee Crumpton in the interview, then the founder of the Homegrown Music Network himself joins Seth and Rob for the outtro to talk about how he first heard of Big Something, his time managing them and his recent experiences at the Lockn Festival and Big Something’s own “Big Wha?” festival.

Thanks to the insight of the dynamic Robbie Williams (Umphrey's McGee, Finger Tight), co-host Rob Turner was able to grab Jim Loughlin of moe. at the recent Chastain Park Amphitheater UM show and bring the new Georgia resident to Seth Weiner backstage for a quick intermission chat. White Denim is discussed first, as they had just thrown down a fiery set and the show hosts and The Loughlin's are all fans of that excellent band. We get a quick summary of the moist and bulge-rewarding most recent moe.down. Then Jim talks about how he and the rest of moe. learned the terrible news that their bandmate, Rob Derhak had cancer. Loughlin talks about the two shows the band has played since they had to digest that supremely unfortunate news, what Rob's prognosis is and what the band's tentative plans are moving forward in the near future. He also reveals some of what is behind the band's preparation for its collaboration with Phil Lesh. The hosts end by welcoming Jim to the Atlanta music community with an invitation to their September 19th live event at City Winery and by offering their assistance should he decide to put together a Georgia-based side project. Rob also thanks Jim's precious Yankees for the way they have nurtured his nephew Rick Surum since they drafted him in the 16th Round this year. Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob welcome Scott Bernstein of YEM Blog and Jambase to first discuss Phish in general, then to offer a candid show-by-show assessment of Phish's legendary (yes, ACTUALLY legendary) 13 night "Baker's Dozen" run at MSG. Bernstein offers his brilliant insight on specific musical moments, and how these and other chestnuts the band delivered factor into the band's storied musical career. Turner has been seeing the band since its mid-80s club days, however Weiner who has been seeing them since the mid 90's still sees them frequently in its 3.0 era. Each host offers occasional perspectives of his own on specific jams, covers, new songs, even that mashup/medley thing - and other delightful Phish minutia. Turner also adds the thoughts of other Phish aficionados by reading some of his favorite quotes from Phish reviews written during the run. However it is truly Bernstein's encyclopedic knowledge of this outstanding band which drives this episode and makes it worthy of even the most hardcore phan's ear. Things DO get a tad contentious at points, and there are also scattered musical moments from the run sprinkled in including a couple of fun performances from the final show which end the episode.

wTnS sits down with Jon Fishman from the band Phish for a short but sweet interview. The episode starts with Seth and Rob first discussing their new live series (Inside Out wTnS Live) set to take place at the Atlanta's City Winery. The debut is on August 9th with a Jerry Garcia Tribute. Turner then quizzes Weiner on his Phish'y 40th Birthday gift, graciously arranged by his wife, Amy. They then play the entire Jon Fishman interview from backstage at Atlanta's Fox Theater May 1, 2017. Much of the early part of the interview focuses on Col. Bruce Hampton, as it was conducted the afternoon of that glorious-became-tragic event. Fishman also talks about "gauzing," re-learning his own material, a Capt. Beefheart song he would love to have Phish cover and which Halloween cover record provided him the biggest challenge preparation-wise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth and Rob first announce their new live series “wTnS Live” at the Atlanta City Winery. They explain how they will be offering evenings of music, philanthropy and podcasting. While there is a pilot episode on August 9th, the first event is September 19th, and it features DJ Logic and this episode’s primary guest Voodoo Visionary. Before diving into the Voodoo Visionary vision, Seth and Rob take a quick call with Perpetual Groove frontman Brock Butler and find out about how the band is clicking personally and professionally better than they have in years, maybe ever. The trio discuss some upcoming Perpetual Groove gigs and some of their history - and these three will sit down again next month in Atlanta for a more detailed conversation for use in a future Perpetual Groove-centric episode. Then the hosts sit down with Turner’s favorite young Atlanta touring band, Voodoo Visionary. The band relates their unusual beginnings - rising from the world of rugby, playing all-improv gigs in non-traditional music venues, having a singer slam in what the other band members would later learn was his first live performance, finding their horn section in the most organic way possible, and more. Voodoo has a large following in Atlanta, but we get into some of the mechanisms and planning involved in turning the corner to become a national act. Their latest cd “Off The Ground,” is discussed extensively. The interview is conducted at WonderDog Sound Studios in Marietta, Georgia - where this great new release was recorded. The band discusses why they chose WonderDog and some of the unique benefits of that studio. The episode ends with a discussion with the studio’s owner Mark Michaelson and long-time engineer Josh Thane. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth sit down with Randall Bramblett in his own house and after first discussing his two most recent brilliant releases "Juke Joint at the Edge of the World" and "Devil Music," they go back to the 70s and move through his fascinating career. We learn how working with Tommy Talton and the band Cowboy led to him meeting and ultimately touring with Gregg Allman. He speaks of his days with the "jazz arm" of the Allman Brothers Band community, Sea Level. Bramblett also speaks of working with Levon Helm, and meeting and touring with Steve Winwood. His success with Winwood would unfold into him being a vital part of the enormously successful 1994 Traffic reunion tour, and we get some insight into that Bramblett era. Widespread Panic fans might be curious to learn about how Randall ended up in that family, and what it was like to tour with them while their guitarist's health was rapidly declining. We also get a follow-up call in the outtro during which Randall speaks about his most recent Atlanta play (it was a DOOZIE) and he reflects on his friends who have recently passed - Col. Bruce Hampton, Gregg Allman and Jimmy Nalls. The introduction also includes a brief interview Seth conducted with the young jamband Spafford. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob are joined on the phone by Patterson Hood and they discuss, among other things, Drive-By Truckers' history, their politically-charged latest album, "American Band" and their unique songwriting process. Then Patterson talks glowingly about David Barbe to set the table for the interview Seth and Rob traveled to the University of Georgia to conduct. They discuss that school's Music Business Program, which we learn has grown to attract top notch academic candidates who discover and/or nurture their areas of industry interest. The program also features guest lecturers from across the industry including Jason Isbell's manager Tracey Thomas, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound front man Bradford Cox and Hood himself. Rob and Seth also explore Barbe's musical career, and we learn of the ups and downs of Mercyland, and how perfectly timed his professional liaison with Bob Mould was. Their band, Sugar would produce one of the greatest records of the 80s, "Copper Blue." wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

This episode features Rob Turner and Seth Weiner each giving their review of the 2017 Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The hosts discuss the festival and the performances of acts like LCD Soundsystem, Sylvan Esso, Great Peacock, Saint Motel, Hamilton Leithauser, J. Roddy Walston and The Business, Warpaint, Bleachers, Phoenix, Ryan Adams and more. Then we hear an interview Weiner and Turner conducted the same weekend with the three core members of Zipper Club. We hear how the band’s debut tour was with Tears For Fears. Mason James relates how important his years with Cerebral Ballsy were, and the significance of having a punk ethos in general - whether it means expressing yourself fully, or pissing people off or both. Lissie Trullie explains how her Emory professor father’s record collection initially turned her onto music, and how she has been inspired going from writing alone in her own band to collaborating in this one. Drummer Damar Davis chimes in at well, discussing his early days as a musician, and bringing forth effusive love of Led Zeppelin and a stylin’ diversion to a question about the mysterious origins of the band’s name. Among the many other topics are the band’s songwriting plans moving forward, their interest in improvisation, working with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and the band’s, apparently very serious problem with parking tickets wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob discuss the death of Chris Cornell and curious decisions made in the wake of the cancellation of the Pemberton Music Festival. Then they discuss Atlanta’s fantastic SweetWater 420 Festival before giving way to an interview with singer/trumpeter/songwriter Jennifer Hartswick which was recorded during this same festival. Hartswick explains how a Nigel Hall-arranged gig at Tipitina’s in New Orleans led to her recent collaboration with supreme bassist, Christian McBride. The two immediately became friends, and after a few months were in Trey Anastasio’s “Barn” recording studio working in a trio format with guitarist Nick Cassarino. We get some stories from this session, including the unusual way she talked McBride into recording a duet with her. We also hear about how her childhood in a strong musical family, and then high school years in an musically excellent rural Vermont school would lead her to musicians and future band mates like Dave Grippo and Trey Anastasio. She also tells of how she was invited into the Trey Anastasio Band, how she created of some of that band’s signature songs, as well as offers some insight into her various collaborations w/ Umphrey’s McGee and other bands. The hour’ish long interview traverses many other topics, including Hartswick commenting on her sit-ins with Phish, the many, sometimes offensive offers she and band mate, trombonist Natalie Cressman have received to play in all-women and other bands and Turner even tells Hartswick an affecting story about her own husband, bassist Chris Chew. Before wrapping up the episode, Seth reads a couple of emails from careful listeners who noticed subtle errors Rob made during Episode 31. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.

InsideOut wTnS returns with a full episode focusing on Jared Watson, one of the founding members of the ground-breakingly genre-defying Dirty Heads. Weiner and Turner first relate some of their experiences at the SweetWater 420 Festival, before they jump into a chat with Watson by discussing everyone’s favorite herb. We get a window into the Dirty Heads’ creating and recording process, as well as learn about how Watson found and became addicted to vicodin, and then how love and support, particularly from his unfailingly loyal wife, helped him overcome the demons this drug would unleash upon him. The show closes with the hosts discussing their upcoming interviews with Jennifer Hartswick and Jon Phillips, as well as the recently departed Godfather of this Podcast - Colonel Bruce Hampton.

This is not an episode. This is a tribute to the man who breathed Zambi life into this program and into just about every conscious person in the organic music world, Col. Bruce Hampton. Hosts Rob Turner and Seth Weiner were the only journalists set up backstage at the Hampton 70! Tribute at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre May 1, 2017. In cosmic keeping with the truly singular history of The Colonel, the event remains one of the most powerfully joyous musical evenings in Atlanta entertainment history, despite the fact that it ended with the death of the man being celebrated. A tragedy to all in attendance except perhaps the man who began his journey to the beyond in arguably his own ideal fashion, on stage with his favorite musicians, shining a light on an outstanding young player and goofing on just about everyone in attendance while the band played on. In this episode the hosts share some of their own thoughts, and then portions of some of the many interviews they conducted at The Fox that day. Here, The Colonel’s friends Jeff Sipe, John Bell, Jon Fishman and Rev. Jeff Mosier talk about all things Colonel. These musicians who knew him well explain many examples of why Col. Bruce Hampton was widely considered not just a shaman, but a particularly shaman-tastic one, even when he was having tea with other shamans. This program believes that whether you are a musician or a fan who was at The Fox Theatre on that night, the best way to honor The Colonel is to remember the event and his death not with sadness, but with laughter. It was frightening and confusing that night. But as time passes, it should be increasingly revealed that it was even more of a delightfully twisted final exclamation point on a joyfully “outside” life that touched an absolutely stunning array of people. As Jeff Mosier says, “choose gratitude.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode Seth and Rob take a phone call from Reid Anderson of The Bad Plus, and topics discussed include some of the band’s adventurous releases, working with Josh Redman and Bill Frisell, the differences between European and US audiences and his band mate Ethan Iverson’s famous blog. Then Jojo Hermann of Widespread Panic comes in and lets our listeners know about his new band Slim Wednesday and the recent recording they did in Atlanta. JoJo also takes us back to New York in the 80s, where he would initially cut his teeth as a musician. But we also learn why he chose to move to Mississippi and how that in turn led him to finding his way into Widespread Panic - and he shares some stories from his years with those icons of jam. Then we get a small window into a poolside chat conducted by Weiner’s alter-ego LL PoolJ. He chats with Deer Tick about a few things including their next (planned to be a double) album, the sense of community among their peer bands and bonding excretory experiences. Hosted on Acast.

Seth and Rob return with their fourth mini “Tweener” episode to observe the one-year anniversary of Prince’s death by revisiting Episode 19 of InsideOut wTnS.

This, and the tale of how he met and reunited with Bruce Springsteen are each lifted and included in this mini episode. Seth and Rob also talk a bit about Radiohead, publicists, research, the upcoming interview with Voodoo Visionary at Wonder Dog Sound Studio, Rob’s new side Podcast, anticipation and about how InsideOut wTnS will have a presence at the SweetWater 420 Festival in Atlanta.

Seth and Rob give updates on recent shows they have seen including Allah-Las and Radiohead before playing an interview they conducted with Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Berlin reveals that his punk band The Flesh Eaters will reunite for tour next January and that he will co-produce the next Blind Boys of Alabama record. The listener is taken through the early part of Berlin’s career as a performer and producer going back to his earliest days in Los Angeles, playing with The Blasters and winning Grammys with Los Lobos. Berlin talks about working on now-legendary projects with T. Bone Burnett, and about how everything changed the day guitarist/vocalist David Hidalgo brought the song “Will The Wolf Survive” to the band. We also hear a great story about how the band repeatedly helped themselves to Prince’s equipment from his neighboring studio around the same time, and how the almost got caught. Berlin talks about Los Lobos’ work through the seminal “Kiko” release and elaborates on the one time the band played a show while high on mushrooms. He also related about how meticulous the band Faith No More was when he worked with them and about his recent work performing and recording with Diamond Rugs.

This episode features interviews with 4/5ths of Moon Taxi and with Mike Greenfield, the drummer of Lotus. Before, between and after these interviews, Seth and Rob chat with Matt Wilson, the man behind Hampton 70, the Atlanta event at which a stunning array of improvisational musicians will descend upon that cities' Fox Theater to celebrate the Godfather of this podcast, not to mention American “jam music,” Col. Bruce Hampton. They discuss how this event was created, how musicians were procured, who will be musical directors, how music will be selected and how the Colonel, who reveals he initially did not even want to do this, will handle the fact that everyone will want to perform with him. The Colonel also dishes on many other topics including David Bromberg, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Derek Trucks, time, space, dimension, zambi, embarrassment and the beauty of being The Colonel. Moon Taxi take Seth and Rob back to band's early days, explaining how they managed to self-release their first record. They also discuss the challenges and benefits of having so many songwriters in the band, milestones, goals, playing Letterman’s show just before Dave retired and how one of their songs inspired a Bonnaroo collaboration with Derek Trucks. Finally Mike Greenfield of Lotus talks about the challenges of joining with the band when they were already firmly established, and of the beauty of playing in a way that makes his band mates shine. He also chats a bit about playing with members of the Disco Biscuits in Electron, and how he was able to be with his wife for the birth of his daughter even while Lotus was on tour.

This episode features Jeremy Salken and Dominic Lalli....who ARE Big Gigantic... After a brief update from Rob and Seth, they get into it with Big Gigantic, starting with each musician's very beginnings playing as children.. and move through the compelling career of this groundbreaking act. The duo explains how their lives and musical experiences would ultimately find them collaborating in Colorado and working together to create BG. Jeremy talks about seeing Global Funk Council at "The Goat" while he was living in Breckenridge. A spontaneous invitation to jump on stage that night would quickly evolve into him touring with the band. Salken would move to Colorado and link up with The Motet. This would lead to him joining forces with Lalli who had also been suggested by a friend to seek out The Motet. Lalli talks about going from learning basic computer skills to collaborating with members of String Cheese Incident and sitting in with bands like STS9 and Pnuma Trio as Big Gigantic was getting off of the ground. The band talks about extensively about their career and these two fellas reveal themselves to be extremely focused and conscientious lads. They assure us that they effort to be in a constant date of improvement, particularly with regard to their light show. We learn about how the band has remained staunchly independent from the start, and how they turned an opportunity to play Red Rocks into the Rowdytown Festival. The episode ends with Rob seeking a catharsis by revealing embarrassing things about himself, and a full version of a Big Gigantic song discussed in the interview.

This episode focuses on the rapidly approaching Fool’s Paradise extravaganza and includes interviews with festival promoter Paul Levine, as well as performers Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce and Tom Hamilton of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. Levine discusses how the seeds of the festival’s location were planted when an Umphrey’s McGee festival (which also featured Lettuce) was moved from a civil war fort to the idyllic St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine, FL two years ago. He talks about his career as a promoter, about working with Lettuce to curate the festival (“we’ve always enjoyed working together… doing things to promote and advance funk music”), and about an excursion which this year will be offered to Fool’s Paradise attendees (“you can go on a boat for a couple hours and have wine and beer with some of the guys from Lettuce”). Then a portion of last fall’s Lockn’ Festival enters the episode where Benny Bloom talks about meeting, then playing with Lettuce for the first time. Bloom talks about how he would quickly become a key part of the band and assume the trumpet role full-time, and about why he particularly enjoys playing for the funk/jam band world. The dynamic Tom Hamilton, who will be performing with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead at this year’s Fool’s Paradise, steps up to the plate next and talks about the boundless spontaneity of the band. He also compares what its like playing in a band with the drummer as the “Point Man” in Almost Dead to being the “Point Man” himself in Billy and The Kids, the ensemble with the Dead’s own Bill Kreutzmann. The entire Hamilton interview is included in Episode 20 of Inside Out WTNS. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 26 focuses on the organic rock band, moe. First, reigning “Mayor of moe.down,” Rex Thomson joins and relates how he earned this coveted band honor. Then, Seth and Rob sit with Al Schnier and Jim Loughlin on the band’s bus and discuss how a young moe. got the opportunity to jam with Bob Weir while on the 1997 Furthur Festival, and how a couple of years later Al charted music for Phil Lesh. Jim relates his experience returning to an evolved moe. after his brief period away from them around the same time, and Schnier and Loughlin go into detail on improvisation, spontaneity and songwriting. However, industry folks may be most compelled by the thinking behind the band’s recent decisions first to let their manager of 20-plus years go, and then to defray management duties across the band. Schnier talks about being overwhelmed by his initial efforts to take on all of the management tasks alone, and we learn how the band resolved this and as a result, became a band intimately involved in every aspect of their operations. The episode concludes with moe. performing brand new Loughlin (“Don’t Wanna Be”) and Schnier (“Angel”) compositions in their entirety, on the band’s 2017 Winter Tour. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth and Rob revel in Seth’s return to Atlanta before discussing Bob Dylan, recent online music articles, and their interview with Chris Kuroda at Lockn' a few months ago. This episodes shares clips of from said interview, first about how Kuroda learned many things on the fly in his early days with Phish, and how his responsibilities became more focused during these years. Hear him rave about his programmer Andrew Giffin, who provides Kuroda great flexibility as Giffin can adjust the console (by doing things like re-writing code at the root level) to fit CK’s ever-evolving and exacting needs. Kuroda also discusses how his familiarity with Madison Square Garden may increasingly benefit Phish shows there moving forward, as he now has access to house lights located all over the room, “we plan on really digging into that now that I have a lot of programming for it.” This is surely great news for anyone holding tickets to any……or ALL of the band’s forthcoming “Baker’s Dozen” run of shows at this iconic venue." The bulk of the original interview focuses on the details around Kuroda and the band’s decision last year to incorporate video elements into their already-superb presentation, and how Kuroda executed this transition – please visit Episode 18 to hear the entire original interview. Before signing off Seth and Rob discuss Brandi Carlile’s performances at The Avett Brothers At The Beach, their destination festival in Mexico, and where they want to interview Jason Isbell and Oteil Burbridge in the future.

Rob updates us on some recent activity in the Bowie world and Seth fills us on the music and other moments unique to One Big Holiday and The Avett Brother's At The Beach events in Mexico, before they run their interview with one of the most respected sound men in music, Chris Mitchell of Umphrey's McGee. Mitchell speaks of the band's dive into surround sound and compares his approaches with those of The Grateful Dead's long-time front of house sound engineer Dan Healy. We learn how Mitchell's career began as a sort of courtship, and ultimately moved through a range of festivals and artists (including Tracy Chapman, Kitaro and G. Love + Special Sauce) before his friend Jason Brodsky linked him up with The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart. We learn about Chris' days with Mickey, including the challenges of mixing "two dolphins fucking" and why Hart has a reputation for having a short temper. Umphans might be particularly interested to learn about how he ended up with their band. Chris tells of how his uber-collaborative relationship with his predecessor Kevin Browning assisted in his transition and how the two of them remain in close contact, actively focused on improving the Umphrey's McGee experience. He also gives away a few secrets of how he brings forth some nuanced vocal trickery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This, the first "Best of"-style Tweener Episode revisits the Episode 6 interview with Umphrey's McGee Lighting Designer Jefferson Waful. Waful explains how Phish Lighting Designer Chris Kuroda's trust in collaboration in turn inspired Jefferson to trust another LD and spontaneously collaborate with him at Wanee.......and what Jefferson would later learn about said LD after their work was done. This mini-episode also features Seth's update from the Castaway and One Big Holiday events (complete with Rob begging Seth to ask Jim James about the record his friends The Slip reportedly have "in the can"). Rob also reveals his idea to have Blueground Undergrass over to Wonder Dog Sound Studios for an interview and performance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth calls in to brief all of us on Jam Cruise. Then the Brendan Bayliss interview continues and we hear his memories of Umphrey's landmark Bonnaroo performance, his early experiences with eventual peers like moe. and The Disco Biscuits and his feelings on criticism of his work. He also tells some stories about playing The Jammys with Sinead O'Connor, Mavis Staples, Huey Lewis and Jeff Coffin. Brendan explains the band's hand-signals, and how Joshua Redman first thought they were kidding about them, but ended up finding them helpful when improvising with UM. Brendan talks about how fan feedback impacts the band with regard to the venues at which they play. Then he speaks of how his new release "Zonkey" may signal the end of the band's annual mashup-themed Halloween shows, about failing to sit on the John-John while recording at Abbey Road, and about the brand new material the band is working on now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob and Seth announce the new co-branding with Live For Live Music and welcome their new listeners. They make an appeal for an interactive relationship - particularly with regard to the coming episode on webcasting. Then they interview Brendan Bayliss, founding member of Umphrey's McGee. We learn about how at a young age he moved from being an avid sports fan to a guitar enthusiast. His father's brilliant tennis career is discussed, as it found Brendan moving to and from Massachusetts, on to Indiana, and ultimately attending Norte Dame. We are taken through the late 90s South Bend music scene, including the UM-historical significance of Ali Baba's Tahini. Brendan tells of how he went from playing in a band with eventual Umphrey's McGee bassist Ryan "Pony" Stasik, to forming Umphrey's McGee. He explains his thinking behind the pivotal and selfless choice to extract Jake Cinninger from the charred ruins of Ali Baba's Tahini and bring him into the Umphold. We also hear the story of how Vince Iwinski became the band's manager, and how former front of house engineer Kevin Browning's shift to management has greatly benefitted the band. Brendan also elaborates on the beauty of gradual growth, and the not-so-beautiful way Steve Miller behaved like an asshole at Christmas Jam a few years back. Episode also includes multiple mentions of Marc Maron's interview with Derek Trucks. Why? Because it was superb. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob and Seth get a lesson on many kinds of music from Britain to San Francisco in the 60s, 70s and 80s from the legendary Pete Sears. Sears tells stories from throughout the first half of his career - from his early days with the rockabilly group The Spitfires up until he became one of the four finalists to replace Brent Mydland in The Grateful Dead. Hear about his days splitting time between working on seminal Rod Stewart records in England and discovering the world of San Francisco Bay Area music. His work with the brilliant-yet-volatile Paul Kantner and Grace Slick is explored. We hear his account of an infamous cancellation, and the ensuing chaos at the 1978 Lorelei Festival during which Pete's treasured bass ("Dragon," a sibling of sorts, of Garcia's iconic "Tiger" guitar), was among the equipment destroyed or stolen by the crowd - although Sears' bass DID survive, and would be returned to his some three and a half decades later. Time did not permit for his more recent years to be discussed much, so he will have to return to the show sometime. Episode also includes Seth's updates from his work on the high seas with Holy Ship and Rob's reports on his experiences at Atlanta's "Holiday Hootenanny" and the Umphrey's McGee New Year's run in Chicago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth explains about how he applied, interviewed and was ultimately accepted by honeymooninisreal.org for his wife Amy and him to be a part of this interesting Group Venture. While Seth does not consider himself a "practicing Jew," he relates how he and his wife had a bit of a spiritual experience traveling and connecting with with 19 other Atlanta area couples.

Seth and Rob sit down with Galactic's drummer and discuss everything from his early days as a prodigy working in Marty Hurley's drum line, to Galactic's recent work with the wonderful Erica Falls. They discuss his two books and the delight he takes from seeing other drummers put their personalized spin on his own personalized, decidedly New Orleans approach. Stanton talks about how being in the mindset of a jalopy or a 300 lb woman walking down the street carrying a bucket of chicken can help find an appropriate New Orleans groove. A slew of musicians are discussed, particularly George Porter Jr., Bernard Purdie and Russell Batiste. Stanton talks specifically about meeting and developing a relationship with Batiste. Stanton talks about why it is difficult for New Orleans drummers to be "go-to" studio musicians and vocally demonstrates a variety of grooves and how said grooves were developed (a favorite of Turner's). He talks about how generous New Orleans musicians can be and how Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard recently remembered being in attendance when Porter Jr. allowed a very, very young Stanton Moore to sit in with his band. It is a delight to listen to this now-legendary drummer describe how he brings, as Seth says, "his shtick to the stick." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seth and Rob sit down with guitarist Tom Hamilton and discuss his work with Brothers Past, American Babies, Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Billy and The Kids and other groups. Tom explains the various ways some of these bands approach Grateful Dead music, and relates his experiences working with the surviving members of The Grateful Dead. Tom also reveals that Louis CKs eulogy of Robin Williams served as an influence for the creation of what would become the American Babies' fantastic new cd, "An Epic Battle Between Light & Dark." Also discussed are Tom's experience with depression, how he feels stand up comedians are "today's Shakespeare," how his improvisational goal is to compose new and great songs on the spot and his grossly underappreciated/slightly dysfunctional band, Brothers Past. Sports fans might enjoy the comparisons between athletic and musical teamwork and fans of obscenity will surely be delighted by the various uses of the f-word. Tom also takes us to the early days of Joe Russo's Almost Dead and what it's like playing in a band with the drummer serving as a point man. He also performs his first-ever a solo reading of "Bring It In Close" from the aforementioned American Babies release, "An Epic Battle Between Light & Dark." Hosted on Acast.

Rob and Seth sit down with Jason Crosby and discuss how he went from a classically trained violin and piano prodigy, to working with artists like Solar Circus, God Street Wine, Oteil and The Peacemakers, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Robert Randolph and The Bind Boys of Alabama all at a young age. Also explored are his musical and other interactions with Prince, Eric Clapton, Trey Anastasio and Bruce Springsteen - and how his life changed when he moved from New York to California, where he met and worked with folks like Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Roger McNamee. Then Roger himself joins to chat how the seeds for his love of rock sprouted out of being born in the "Year of Elvis," and how his work with T. Bone Burnett inspired him to start Moonallice. Roger is not just a musician. He is also one of the most insightful businessmen of our generation, and this interview reveals how he has used the fruits of the resulting success from this insight to help empower (and employ) musicians and visual artists. He also discusses his decision to provide high quality streaming video of every Moonalice and Doobie Decimal System performance (and many others including a variety of performances from California's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival). This has proven to be not just a benefit to music-lovers, but also seems to be a key part of the popularity growth of Roger's bands Moonalice and Doobie Decimal System. Hosted on Acast.

This episode features Rob and Seth backstage at Lockn' chatting with Chris Kuroda, one of the leading Lighting Designers in the music industry most well-known for his long-time work (nearly 30 years) brilliantly scheming and executing the visual presentation of the band Phish. They discuss how adding video elements to the band's already-elite light show presented many challenges and much inspiration to Kuroda. He talks about how he worked with other industry veterans, particularly Abigail Holmes (Roger Waters, The Cure, Talking Heads) to find the best ways to ease the video elements into the presentation to find the appropriate "vibe" design-wise and how his approach to execution is currently evolving greatly. Kuroda also explains why white is "his 11," and discusses how his relationship with Madison Square Garden has spilled over into the sports world, and how this may positively impact future Phish MSG performances.
