In this episode, Team Derringer (Laura, Alton, and Paul) are joined by an award-winning artist from Toronto, Canada: Julian Taylor. Julian has been part of the Canadian music scene for over 25 years – from his high school years busking in the streets of Toronto; to his time touring Canada with his popular rock band, Staggered Crossing (StagX); and now, his Juno-nominated solo work along with his touring ensemble, the Julian Taylor Band. Team Derringer counts down their Top 5 favorite songs by Julian Taylor (so far) while Julian interweaves stories from his childhood, young adulthood, and now fatherhood. You’ll hear Julian tell of a time spent with his sister – a time split between Toronto, Ontario (his birthplace), and his grandparents’ home in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, as well as the period he spent traveling across the northern portion of the United States, traveling by train from New York to Seattle. Team Derringer will explore Julian’s well-deserved Canadian music awards from multiple Juno Award nominations (the Canadian Grammy equivalent) to his Best New Artist win by the Canadian Folk Music Awards. If you’re not already familiar with Julian Taylor’s work, we’re sure you’ll become a fan while listening to this episode!

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.

Growing up the child of missionary parents, Tina moved from the UK, to the Netherlands, to South Africa, and finally back to the UK. The transient nature of her childhood prevented Tina from feeling a sense of belonging and she often felt insulated from the outside world. To entertain herself, she played music with her family members and wrote her first song at age 11. She blossomed as a musician shortly after university when a friend’s brother, a music producer, wanted to record her. Tina expected her songs to find their home in the church halls she was so familiar with, but she soon found herself performing the open mic circuit in and around London. After connecting with producer Trevor Michael, Tina found her musical voice and solidly established her sound. Tina is a master storyteller. Her songs run the gamut from the deeply painful experiences to the hope one can find in the simple things of life. Join Team Derringer (Laura, Paul, and Alton), as they explore the stories behind their five favorite Tina Boonstra songs, hear of Tina’s early life, and discover the exciting projects that Tina has planned next. Explore musical snippets from Tina's songs and enjoy the stories behind the tracks on Tina’s latest album, “Circle back, start again.” For more information about Derringer Discoveries, Team Derringer, or our music promotion affiliate, Turnip Music Radio, please visit https://www.derringerdiscoveries.com.

From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, there was a large counterculture movement in the United States. It was a time when the war in Vietnam was escalating and there was vast social tension in society overall. But it was also a time of free love, experimentation, alternative lifestyles, and some terrific music! It was from an area just outside of Los Angeles, California – an area known as Laurel Canyon – that Rock and Roll’s first supergroup arose: Crosby, Still, Nash & Young.

If you're a long-time Derringer Discoveries listener, you'll recall that In Episode 19, we weighed in on The Beatles' 10 Worst Songs. In response to that episode, Sammy Vulcano, a solo recording artist from the Syracuse, New York (US) area, reached out to Team Derringer. Sammy shared that he is a superfan of The Beatles. He told Team Derringer that he had recently combined his songwriting talents with those of his lifelong friend and fellow musician, Anthony Micaroni, to write, record, and release a trilogy of songs about The Beatles from 1962 to 1965. Intrigued by this concept, Team Derringer decided to explore the collaboration between Sammy and Anthony and invited them to join Team Derringer (Laura, Paul, Alton, and Dave) as they delve into this period of The Beatles' legacy -- a time that is often overshadowed by the brilliance of The Beatles' catalog released after 1965. Assisted by special guests Sammy and Anthony, Team Derringer shares the tale of The Beatles in Hamburg 1962, along with snippets of their biggest hits from 1962 to 1965. The Beatles had just one hit in 1962 and it was only in the UK. They didn't conquer the US until January 1964, but by 1965, they were dominating the music charts worldwide. Join Team Derringer and their guests as they discover obscure, interesting trivia about The Beatles. Along the way, you'll hear snippets of The Beatles' two hit singles sung with German lyrics. Additionally, Team Derringer, Sammy, and Anthony will discuss Kurt Cobain's posthumous hit single, a cover of Sammy's favorite 1963 song by The Beatles. Kurt's cover has streamed almost 59 million times! And of course, Team Derringer will play snippets of the trilogy of songs by Sammy and Anthony that sparked the idea for this episode. These three songs by Sammy Vulcano and Anthony Micaroni are available on all the major digital streaming platforms, such as Spotify. Derringer Discoveries is the curator of a popular Spotify playlist called The Beatles Inspired. If you are a recording artist or a listener who knows of a song that belongs on this playlist, subscribe to our free newsletter at https://www.derringerdiscoveries.com and then send us a link to the song at feedback@derringerdiscoveries.com.

With listeners in 30+ countries and more than 43,000 downloads, this is Team Derringer's new promo, celebrating our third year as Derringer Discoveries - A Music Adventure Podcast.

In this Derringer Discoveries episode, we honor legendary American songwriter John Prine. John’s songs were often humorous and witty – sometimes they were rebellious and full of social commentary on everyday life in America. He regaled us with his music from the early 70s until his death on April 7, 2020, from COVID-related complications. This episode is a tribute to Mr. Prine – a Chicago postman turned modern-day troubadour. Team Derringer is joined by Jeff Sweatman who spearheaded a tribute album to John Prine that featured over 20 artists’ interpretations of John Prine’s hits. The project culminated on October 23, 2022, with a fantastic outdoor concert in Charlottesville, Virginia, attended by over 700 fans. Many of the artists featured on the album performed for the sold-out crowd. The album is aptly named, “All the Best… from 6 Feet Away: A Charlottesville Tribute to John Prine.” Jeff shares the background behind five of Team Derringer’s favorite songs from the album and explains what he sees for the future of radio, having been a radio disc jockey and producer for over 30 years. You can listen to side-by-side versions of John’s original songs and Team Derringer’s Top 5 picks from “All the Best… from 6 Feet Away: A Charlottesville Tribute to John Prine” on the accompanying playlist: “Check Out: John Prine” – only available on Spotify.
