Dan Lebowitz of ALO

4/3/2025

The Animal Liberation Orchestra or ALO are amongst my favourite bands to have on when I need that extra bounce or pep in my step. Their latest effort, Frames, is true to that formula, with each member of the quartet providing excellent musicianship, and vocal harmonies with a side order of smiles and fun. I recently had the chance to sit down with guitarist Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz to talk about the quartets latest album release, and a whole lot more… First song: Blank Canvas Second song: Space Between Frames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russ Lawton of LaMP

3/20/2025

You’re definitely going to want to check out the new release from LaMP entitled One of Us out now wherever you listen or buy music. For the uninitiated LaMP features drummer Scott Lawton and keyboard player Ray Paczkowski famously of the Trey Anastasio Band and guitarist Scott Mezger who has been toiling with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead amongst other side projects. Together, the trio puts out very cool jams that play off of their improvisation chops and decades of playing a range of music styles. While the tunes all start out with a groove Russ Lawton provides, they grow organically as the other two musicians colour in with their instruments over top. Together the trio amass tunes that are eclectic yet very much recognizable as LaMP tunes. I caught up with Russ Lawton to talk about where things are at with LaMP and of course we discussed the very compact yet thorough One of Us an album worth getting into your ears soon. Here’s how the conversation went. First song: Nice Girl Second song: Jasper's World See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nefesh Mountain

2/26/2025

You gotta check out Nefesh Mountain’s latest full length double album release Beacons. Yes, you read that right, it’s a double album featuring an Americana record and a more traditional bluegrass record. Both sides are filled with great songs, some inspirational others about the human condition and introspection. This hopefully marks a touring point for the duo who are excited to add more instruments and punch to their band’s music. I caught up with Eric Lindbergh and Doni Zasloff to talk about Beacons in greater detail. Here’s how things went….

Al Schnier of moe.

2/10/2025

That last few years of the 35 years moe. has been together haven’t been the easiest for the band. First there was bassist Rob Derhack’s cancer diagnosis which thankfully is in remission, guitarist Chuck Garvey’s stroke which he has almost totally recovered from and the untimely passing of Rob’s son. All of these setbacks could have easily crushed the collective spirit of the band and no doubt led to a hiatus or a full fledged breakup. Luckily, the band and its member’s found the courage to sojourn on each supporting one another as all tight knit families would. That in itself is quite the feat, but moe. has also channeled all that experience into a new album, Circle of Giants out now wherever you get music. In my opinion it’s one of their best studio records in a long time. I caught up with guitarist Al Schnier last week who was on tour with the band in Southern California. The conversation started when I asked Al how he took the news of Rob’s Derhak’a diagnosis and how he ultimately coped with it. First song: Ups and Downs Second song: Giants See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
