Greatest music podcast on the net!

Never miss an episode!

Excellent podcast

JimNtwo•1/30/2025

This podcast was shared with me by a great musician I worked for for 16 years. Steve gets into the real stuff musicians experience on deep levels. Not just tech talk, but life in general. It is nice to hear a podcast from a working musicians standpoint. It goes deep into the life aspects of a musician. If you are a musician, this show is a must. If you love music and musicians, this is for you. Share this podcast, it is one of the best out there.

Intro too long

Good podcast but the host talks about the guest for 10 minutes before the podcast starts. You almost don’t need to listen to the guest.

The Americana Music Podcast For The Ages (And Musicians)

Ratdog83•10/24/2024

Long time listener! Steve has been doing the Lord’s work with this podcast. I currently hit pause on the Rob Ikes episode to write this! Steve always has thoughtful questions and uses his experiences as an ace musician himself to pull never before heard lines of questions from these artists, producers and engineers; many of whom don’t have many interviews. The more you get into it the more you realize everyone has a unique journey and they are always inspiring to hear. Keep up the great work Steve! P.S. His Canadian turn of phrases seal the deal on this. #bestpodcastever

Duke Levine

got my meds workin•7/18/2024

What a truly great interview with one of the finest yet most humble players anywhere. I love Duke’s sideman work and have been a devotee for years. I am so fortunate that I live in the Boston area and get to see his solo gigs with various combinations of excellent players, as well as with Peter Wolf and others. I don’t know anyone else that plays like Duke or inspires me to explore certain areas of music like he does. So glad I found your podcast- looking forward to exploring it and your music as well. I’ve already seen at least five or six people on your interview list that I cannot wait to check out- JJ Grey? Yeah man! Thank you so much!
