Please join me on Wednesday, May 8 for part 2 of my pre-recorded conversation w/ Miki Berenyi. Hear the unvarnished truth about parenthood, Lush's band experiences, apple trees, l-o-v-e, and her parents. I'm quite proud of our conversation as we dug our way through some heavy and important topics. We also had some good laughs.

SURPRISE CAST
Miki Berenyi
Enjoy this short audio clip!
Miki shares her appreciation for Carolyn Haywood's books. Her reflections on the author's work sheds light on the deeper lessons that can be gleaned from engaging with literature. The themes of being who we are and finding one's voice can be seen as parallel to the challenges Miki - and what most of us - have faced in our own lives at one time or another. Through her lens, Carolyn Haywood's books emerge not just as stories to be enjoyed, but as sources of wisdom and inspiration.
Part 1 of my recorded podcast conversation with Miki will drop on April 23, 2024. Get ready!

Surprise Cast Teaser
When I was an elementary school teacher, I always used to tell my students that a solid beginning to a presentation was the authentic hook. "Authentic" being the operative word. Not always easy. Here's an example of what I learned in the classroom, and tried to apply to my new gig as an artist promoter. It's always work under construction :).
Oh yeah, this clip is a teaser based on my interview with David Newton, guitarist - songwriter for The Mighty Lemon Drops. Listen to David share a little bit of personal information explaining what routine/rituals helps him get the day started. The full length interview will drop closer to Record Store Day in April. Enjoy the sound bite…and keep listening to 'Ricochet' and other MLD albums.

Tribute to The Walkmen w/ Jeremy Shatan
11 years ago, my teaching world was complete demolished by the horrific incident in Newton, Connecticut. The unthinkable happened where 26 adults and children were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary. It still shakes me to the core when I think about it.
"When I Shovel the Snow" became so important to me in 2012. Squashed underneath the heavy blanket of sadness, it actually provided a sliver of light. Miracle. That incident changed the way I approached every child's existence in the classroom. Their presence, strengths and weaknesses, would be honored with a level of respect I didn't know was purely possible.
Peace, love, and music!
