The one where there're too many people on the phone. But really... Morningside Lane joins me to talk about their new album, their philosophy, and their hope for the future. Morningside Lane is led by frontman, Marc Del Giudice. They have a very energetic and authentic Jersey sound. I really loved the sample they sent me and now you get to hear it for yourself. Marc's support system in the band lies with Brian Morelli, Brandon Broderick, and Frankie P.; the group's drummer, guitarist, and bassist respectively. Keep an ear out for another single dropping soon and the full length album, coming in September! You can hear Glass Skin here, or listen on various streaming platforms today!

Today I go on a fly by the seat of my pants rant about the lockdown. It was completely off the cuff and dare I say it all prepared… Please feel free to use this time, during this crazy situation, to go back and listen to any, or all, of the interviews on our show. We are going to get back to normal TOGETHER!

I know it’s not leap day yet, but I’m ranting and it’ll be here tomorrow... Be excellent to one another... And leave Garth Brooks alone! Stop punishing people for things you made up... 🤣

It’s just me, dropping in to say “hi” and “Stop damaging the market for yourselves and other musicians!” Hahaha Let’s all get better at this dance together! It’s called ‘show business’, let’s treat it as such. Make good choices, do the work, and good things will come!

I took a break for the New Year, but now I'm back. You get me talking about where we came from and where we're going... sort of... Thank you for your support.

Sorry we're late!!! Here's a cool chat with Steve Martinho. Most of the songs on this album were written by Steve Martinho, with the exception of Weekend Sun which was co-written with American TrappistThe album was produced by American Trappist but conceptualized by Steve Martinho, Joe Michelini (American Trappist) and Shane Luckenbaugh (Sleepmonster), with additional and notable production advice from Sleepmonster. A number of musicians contributed, including Sleepmonster on drums/percussion and Tim Cambell on pedal steel. The guitars, keys and other noises were split between Steve & American Trappist. Steve sang all his own lead vocals and performed all his own stunts, with additional background vocals from Sleepmonster, and a Calvin Johnson impression by American Trappist on Weekend Sun. All parties would like to thank The Dive.
