The Camille Conte Show

March Madness continues on the show with another installment of "Women in Rock History Month" featuring some of the pioneering New Wave women of the '80's. Plus my newly named segment called "At the Table" brings my dear friend and singer, Mari Hahn to the show as we talk about her insane ability to cook and bake, the coma brought on by her "Guinness Chocolate St. Patrick's Day Birthday Cake," and some samplings from incredible vocal range. Vancouver singer, Art d'Ecco brings a terrific new...

Women in Rock History Month continues with three women with three different styles that made their way onto the scene from 1965-1969. Go ahead and guess! My friend, Kelly Walters stops by his own kitchen table for more impressions and a recap of "when Harry met Meghan." We continue our focus on March of 1971 with perhaps the greatest live album of the '70's and our search for the great rock n roll screams brings us to one of the few females who makes the cut. The New Music Spotlight features...

March Madness indeed! The show is packed as we kick off Women in Rock History Month with the great Ann and Nancy Wilson and the story behind their third album, Little Queen. We continue to celebrate the "golden era of rock albums" and the year 1971 with not one but two iconic albums representing the diversity of that incredible year in music. The New Music Spotlight, brought to you by DREAMRAISER Renee Jones, shines a bright light on Oklahoma husband and wife duo, The Imaginaries and their...

One last time from the house I grew up in, in the bedroom where my dreams were seeded, The Camille Conte Show shares with you the long good-bye as I prepare to leave my parent's home and set out for the open road. We use music to take us on the journey of giving thanks for the unique gifts of living in a small town, letting go in order to go, having faith that though you can't always see around the corner something wonderful is being prepared. Possibility awaits us when we mindfully and...

February birthdays get the show going this week with music from Graham Nash, Dave Davies and The Kinks, Sheryl Crow and Peter Gabriel. In Music News we talk about the $15 billion dollars inside the COVID relief legislation that passed in January and how it will begin to #SaveOurStages. Such an important topic for anyone who loves music. Small venues are the places that give rise to artists' being able to grow a larger audience and we need to help them survive this economic disaster. Also,...

This past week we lost the longest-reigning original Supremes, Mary Wilson who was just on YouTube sharing some exciting news about her upcoming solo music. We take the time to remember why she and her high school friends became not just THE sound of Motown but one of the most successful acts in recording history. As we continue to highlight the "golden era" of music, we look at February 1971 and the release of "The Yes Album" and why the bands third album was really their debut. And of...

All this year, we're taking a closer look at 1971 which for me is the "golden era" of rock music because so many important rock albums were released that year. In February of 1971 something new had emerged: the singer/songwriter movement and it would take a seat at the table from then on. Carol King blew the roof off the joint with her album, Tapestry released in February of that year and we talk more about what was so monumental about her arrival on the scene. The New Music Spotlight is...

Keeping you on your musical toes with some suprising opening songs this week as we explore what was going on just ten years ago compared to 50 years ago musically. Janis Joplin's Pearl gets our attention this week, one of the important rock albums from 1971. Janis kicked open the door for thousands of female performers who followed including, in my opinioin, Grace Potter who kicks off The New Music Spotlight this week. Also under the bright lights, Edie Brickell's brand new song, Tripwire....

Three singer songwriters share the stage for this week's The New Music Spotlight. Zach Bryan, Aaron Lee Tasjan and Chris Stapleton bring their own versions of honest, emotionally authentice songs to the show this week. We also begin to take a closer look at the albums released in 1971 that have stood the test of time these last fifty years and how the birth of FM radio was the album's ultimate companion. Plus, the songs that began the next chapter of our fragile democracy and why we must...

We open the show like never before weaving excerpts from Dr. King's historic speech with songs that offer a new soundtrack to the plight of his day and ours today with The Killers, Mavis Staples, Bruce Springsteen and John Lennon. The New Music Spotlight kicks off with a great song from Kings of Leon and once again, Passenger blows the roof off the joint with his new song The Bandit from his forthcoming new album, "When You See Yourself." And HOORAY! We kick off the 9th Annual DREAMRAISER...

We begin the show with a celebration of David Bowie's 74th Birthday and some of his most enduring songs including a just released cover of John Lennon's "Mother" that Bowie did in 1998 as part of a Lennon tribute album that never materialized! It's incredible. Music from Tracey Chapman lays out the way out of this chaos and confusion and we shine The New Music Spotlights on seventeen year old, Allentown, NJ singer/songwriter, Grace Kerlin and her debut album, Trying to Find. Plus news about...

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life and I feel free. The first show of 2021 is all about feelin' good, raisin' the vibration, giving ourselves permission to feel better, to feel a bit lighter. Today we line up the songs that get us up on our feet, move to the groove, cause us to sing and shout and remember that it's okay, especially on New Year's Day, to turn it up. Nina Simone, Michael Franti, Ziggy Marley and many more! The 9th Annual DREAMRAISER starts January 15th with some...

This year's Holiday Show is filled with goodness from The Ghost of Christmas Past with songs from Tom Petty, Darlene Love, Bruce Springsten, The Kinks, a gorgeous rendition of O Holy Night by Patti Smith and songs from Alaska that will warm your heart. Because I have lived in Alaska for so long, Santa and I are pretty tight so the show starts with a situation that, until now, nobody knew about! And as I hold my tender heart which is filled with a deep longing for my beloved mother, I share...

Poetry from Hafiz, David Whyte and Joyce Rupp mixes with the songs of Jethro Tull, Bruce Cockburn, Cat Stevens, David Wilcox, India Arie and others as we honor the importance and meaning of darkness so as to appreciate more deeply the return of the Light. This is a profound time of the year that offers us much if we stop long enough to receive it. Wishing you and yours peace as we move through these Holy Days together. Take good care of yourself. Enjoy.

Paul McCartney III and the new one from Bleachers take center stage this week. Plus a winter storm in New Jersey is thought to be the end of the world which brings...

Twenty year old Salt Lake City native, Jack Rutter has a terrific new song inside The New Msuic Spotlight entitled, Put Your Records On that deals with, in part, his walk away from the Mormon life. That could explain his music name: Ritt Momney. In music news, Neil Young opens up his archives for the rest of this month for FREE as a gift to his fans, Bob Dylan sells his music catalog, over 600 songs, for an unofficial amount of nearly $300 million dollars and Bruce Springsteen and the E...

This week's show is a barn burner with music from Jethro Tull and the reasons why their music was called, "progressive rock." Fast forward to the current crisis that the music industry is in and Ian Anderson has been doing a lot to inform the British government about the plight of the arts and artists due to this pandemic with solutions to consider. Here's that letter he wrote. Forget Amazon and support the arts this holiday season! Plus The New Music Spotlight lights up the sky with Jade...

Gratitude, appreciation, celebration and a few blasts from the past as we celebrate forty years behind the microphone this Thanksgiving Day 2020 with this year's 40th Anniversary Show! Enjoy and thank you for being a part of this magnificent adventure known as radio, radio!!

Anybody else feel like running? This week's music captures the pent up feelings we have these days when all we want to do is run like hell, somewhere, anywhere. We also do a reality check on where we are at with five weeks left in this WTF year and why it's so important to adjust to the marathon we're in. Thank you to new patron, Loren Dixon for sponsoring The New Music Spotlight this week with two absolutely fantastic artists: Wyn Starks and Saint Nomad. You will love their music. Plus news...

Celebrating 40 years behind the mic this month with my first interview and another new patron! Thank you Lila Vogt for sponsoring this week's The New Music Spotlight and talk about what's good and new. Two new artists, both in their early twenties, both exceptional songwriters and singers achieving a emotional depth that often comes with many more years of honing one's craft but not for these two. First, it's Cobi and his tremendous new song, Faith in Tomorrow. POWERFUL. Next up Briston...
