Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth

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.

Rob sits down with Pete Shand of The New Mastersounds just before the band's show at Terminal West in Atlanta. The band just recorded Shake It with the brilliant singer/songwriter Lamar Williams Jr. Pete reveals that some in the band first met Lamar Williams Jr. here in Atlanta, and explains how this record finds the band in new territory with regard to composing. Pete also reflects on the band's ever-expanding career, rich history of New Orleans appearances, 20th Anniversary and of course how New Mastersounds fans stepped up for Pete in a big way when he needed money for career-saving surgery. We also hear a bunch of music from the band's Atlanta show. 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.

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)."

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) 227-1515

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.

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.
