After the tragic demise of one of the most critically acclaimed grunge bands of the early 1990s, a new music project arose. Originally intended as a solo endeavor by a talented multi-instrumentalist (and former Nirvana drummer), Dave Grohl, the debut Foo Fighters album captured the interest of music industry executives. Grohl had intended the Foo Fighters moniker to provide him with a bit of anonymity; however, he soon realized that a full band would soon be required to support the attention-grabbing endeavor. Slowly a full line-up of talented musicians coalesced around its founding member and primary songwriter. By the time the band released its sophomore album, they were landing singles on music charts worldwide. Over the years, the Foo Fighters have won more than 10 Grammy Awards and continue to crank out chart topping singles and terrific – and often humorous – supporting videos. In this episode, Team Derringer is joined by long-time friend and music super-fan, DP Derringer. Join the crew as they recap the founding of the Foo Fighters and explore their all-time favorite Foo Fighters songs. At the end of this episode, you’ll hear from Jeff Touzeau along with his daughter Caroline Touzeau, who are running in the upcoming Boston Marathon to raise awareness for the TargetCancer Foundation: https://www.targetcancerfoundation.org. Interesting trivia: Jeff is a friend and former bandmate of Paul and Alton.

College Rock exploded on the music scene sometime during 1983 and 1984; however, the infrastructure for the musical style had been established almost 20 years earlier – not by a musician, band, or other influential figure – but by a government agency in the U.S. Join Team Derringer as they explore the birth of College Rock and the preeminent band at its epicenter: R.E.M. The eclectic, hook-heavy, and guitar-jangly sound emerged from the new-wave and post-punk music scenes of the late 1970s spreading from Athens, Georgia, throughout the U.S. and was soon adopted by bands in the U.K. Laura, Alton, and Paul (Team Derringer) are joined by singer-songwriter/guitarist/recording artist Bryan Cooper from Fukuoka, Japan, by way of Yorkshire, England. All the hosts are huge fans of R.E.M. – mostly favoring the music that was the band recorded during the I.R.S. Records years. Did R.E.M. ever Jump the Shark? If so, did they Cross the Rubicon?

In this episode, Team Derringer explores a rare juxtaposition: the improbable convergence of two highly disparate styles of music. In 2004, two luminaries in their respective genres came together to make magic. One is a dynamic frontman for one of the most well-known rock bands of all time, while the other is a highly sought-after collaborator, solo artist, and leader of an extremely popular bluegrass band. In 2007, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant released their Grammy-winning album, Raising Sand. The critically acclaimed pairing produced studio gold which later turned into platinum. Fourteen years later, the duo released their second album, Raise the Roof. Could they replicate the magic? Listen in to find out! Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Matt Saxton from East Sussex, United Kingdom, joins Team Derringer as special guest-host to explore the Plant and Krauss’ fantastic interpretation of blues, country, soul, gospel, and old-timey songs. To top off the winning formula, the pair recruited Grammy award winning T. Bone Burnett, a highly successful record producer, guitarist, and songwriter. Burnett is known for musical endeavors in films such as O Brother Where Art Thou?, Cold Mountain, Walk the Line, and Crazy Heart. As a special treat, Matt Saxton shares some of his own music with the Derringer Discoveries listeners. Be sure to check out this entertaining episode.
