KNOW GOOD MUSIC Interviews JADA STAR! Rob and Matt had a great beautiful conversation with JADA STAR  Jada wrote the new song THE ORCHARD and recorded it with Dolly Parton (who just happens to be her aunt). The song is on the newly released album DOLLY PARTON & FAMILY : SMOKEY MOUNTAIN DNA: Family, Faith and Fables. Dolly gave Jada her name when she was born and Jada started her career as a performer at Dollywood. She tells us about her appearance on the reality show "CLAIM TO FAME" and developing a great relationship with Chris Osmond (son of ... as Jada later found out... Donny F'n Osmond) ******** From her BIO on her website: Jada spent almost a decade performing with her family members at Dollywood where she sharpened her performance skills and found her own songwriting voice. “I write what I’m feeling,” she says. “All my songs are very personal to me. They’re very true — either about me or a situation that I’ve watched a person I care about go through.” In early 2021, Jada moved to Nashville where she continued her musical journey, exploring a fusion of the traditional, high lonesome sounds of the East Tennessee Mountains with modern pop music and an emotional confidence and honesty that has drawn comparisons to Nanci Griffith and Carly Simon.  That merger of varied musical traditions and deeply personal songwriting takes the spotlight on her debut album (from 2023), Tell Me I’m Your Angel. *********** You can find JADA at jadastar.com or jadastarmusic.com, Facebook and Instagram (@jadastarmusic) You can stream or buy the new Dolly Parton Family album at : https://smokymountaindna.com/************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   *********** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found almost anywhere you listen to podcasts including Podbean (host site), Spotify , Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and YOUTUBE!

INTERVIEW WITH LESLIE CAVENISH (hair cutter to the Beatles and other notable celebrities) ******* Leslie was the Beatles Hairdresser from 1967 to 1975 Leslie Cavendish left school at 15 years old, without any artistic qualifications to become a hairdresser. He worked for the iconic “’60s” hair stylist Vidal Sassoon. Leslie counted many of the stars of the day among his clients — including Keith Moon, Bee Gees, Dave Clark Five, James Hunt, Terry Stamp, Jane Asher, James Taylor and so many more — but the jewel in his career’s crown was styling perhaps the four most famous heads of hair in history: The Beatles. ******* Matt and I sit down with Leslie and talk about his wonderful career with Vidal Sassoon.  This career led to his involvement with the Beatles and Apple. Leslie has a wonderful book called "THE CUTTING EDGE - The Story of the Beatles' Hairdresser Who Defined an Era We start the interview talking about Tiffany (the 80s singer) and food. Then we get into his book: - His beginnings about his Uncle who played with Ella Fitzgerald - Collecting 45s (his cousin would send him music from the US) - The differance between a Hair Stylist and a Hair Cutter - Meeting Paul McCartney for the first time at his home on Cavendish Ave. - The day he convinced Paul to cut off all his hair - Almost getting fired for joining Paul and the boys to film the Magical Mystery Tour. - Meeting Jimi Hendrix - Leslie's top 3 Beatles songs (it's hard to pick just 3) Leslie has some great stories from his book but we don't give too much away.

New PODCAST RELEASE - INTERVIEW with Australian Singer / Songwriter (and now resident of Nashville) IMOGEN CLARK! Rob and Matt had a great fun conversation with the greatly talented Imogen Clark.   We had a ton of laughs (which is always a good thing). Besides bringing up Springsteen, Colin Hay, Sheena Easton and Sheryl Crow we talk about her big move to Nashville, the inspiration behind her newest video for THE NOISE, the time she played a mining town of only men, writing and recording with Colin Hay (Men at Work) and much much more! ******** JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IMOGEN CLARK: From an early age, Imogen's life was steeped in music. From just eight years old, she was trained as an opera singer, the foundation for her roof-raising vocal power and range. By the age of twelve, she had transitioned to the guitar and piano and the start of her songwriting journey.  Raised on a cocktail of Bruce Springsteen and Violent Femmes, her musical palette expanded with influences from contemporary artists like HAIM, Maggie Rogers, and the indomitable Taylor Swift. Her father, a former punk rocker and now retired high school teacher, also played a pivotal role in shaping her musical inclinations. His influence, combined with her own experiences, gave birth to a unique and timeless sound, blending pop-rock and indie-pop.  Imogen’s determination is evidenced by her achievements of the last three years, especially her two acclaimed EPs, 2020’s "The Making of Me" and the AIR-nominated 2021’s "Bastards". After recording “Bastards” over Zoom amidst the COVID lockdowns in Sydney, Imogen was determined to flip the script completely for her album. After writing over a hundred songs, she embarked on a musical pilgrimage, traveling to cities that have inspired her musically - London, Nashville, and Los Angeles. This journey took her to some of the world’s most iconic recording spaces including Peter Frampton’s Studio Phenix in Nashville, Abbey Road in London, and East West in Los Angeles, where the legendary "Pet Sounds" was recorded. The forthcoming album “The Art of Getting Through” is proudly genre-agnostic, encapsulating Imogen’s range as a songwriter and recording artist. The lyrics are her most bracingly personal and vulnerable, the music more powerful and anthemic than ever. From navigating her identity to touching on the shadows of an eating disorder, each of Imogen's songs unfold like a chapter in a deeply personal diary, capturing moments, memories, and confessions from her journey.  It’s no wonder collaborators from Alex Lahey to Colin Hay to Steve Poltz to members of Gang of Youths, Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello’s Imposters, Dawes, My Morning Jacket and more have lined up to collaborate with an artist whose dynamism, relentless creativity and striving to be the most fully evolved version of herself, both in and out of the studio, shows her as a force to be reckoned with, and one who is just getting started. ************ You can find IMOGEN at imgogenclarkmusic.com.au , Facebook and Instagram (@imogenclarkmusic) Be sure to look for her upcoming 3rd studio album "The Art of Getting Through" on May 31st, 2024!  ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     If you go to www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic you can find all the links to the podcast platforms we are on.    Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see video promos from some of our interviews.  Just search "know good music"."

Set sail with Matt and Rob as they take you on a journey from Thunder Island to Baker Street. So it had to happen sooner or later.  On today's podcast Matt and Rob talk about Yacht Rock. Many years ago we just called it "cheesy 70s music".  Rob always had a love for those "cheesy" love ballads. Matt and I go through the history of yacht rock and when and who came up with the term.  What defines yacht rock?  Where can I listen to yacht rock? Matt and Rob tell you their 5 favorite yacht rock songs, some honorable mentions and some yacht rock songs we would like to never hear again. The podcast begins on Thunder Island and Rob narrates a story that includes 50 yacht rock titles!  See if you can pick out all 50.

Matt and Rob sit down with the legendary progressive rock guitarist, Steve Hackett formerly of GENESIS and GTR Steve talks about his current tour (recently winding down) called FOXTROT AT FIFTY, what the term progressive means, what John Lennon said about Genesis, his incredible new album "The Circus and the Nightwhale" and more. We had 30 minutes to talk to Steve which in itself is incredible since he was in the middle of a tour of the US. ******** JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STEVE HACKETT: Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford, that produced acclaimed albums such as Selling England by the Pound (a favourite of John Lennon). With Steve's extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums that include renditions of pieces by composers from Bach to Satie, his own acoustic guitar compositions that have gained the admiration of many, including Yehudi Menuhin, and ambitious guitar/ orchestra albums such as A Midsummer Night's Dream, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic.   With Genesis, Steve's guitar playing produced some of the most memorable moments, from the sensitivity of his acoustic sound on Horizons and Blood on the Rooftops to the dramatic rock guitar solos of Firth of Fifth and Fountain of Salmacis. As he embarked on his solo career he developed his exceptional range, pushing musical boundaries into exciting areas, inventing new sounds and also techniques such as 'tapping'. His solo career went from strength to strength and the mid eighties not only saw the hit single Cell 151, but also the Steve Hackett and Steve Howe super group GTR, highly successful in America. ************ You can find STEVE at hackettsongs.com, Facebook and Instagram (@stevehackettofficial)  Be sure to listen to his incredible new album THE CIRCUS AND THE NIGHTWHALE! ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     If you go to www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic you can find all the links to the podcast platforms we are on.    Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see video promos from some of our interviews.  Just search "know good music"."

Matt and Rob sit down with ISMAY to talk about their new album Desert Pavement.   We go into other topics like the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival (in which their grandfather founded and their family still runs), the documentary Finding Lucinda (about the great singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams), Ismay's time working on a ranch with they're mother, the Stranger in the Barn video (and the puppet!) and much more! We had such a great time talking to ISMAY.  They are such a down to earth beautiful soul you won't want to miss this interview!  ... and who doesn't like talking about puppets ?  ******** A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ISMAY AND THEIR NEWEST RELEASE: For Avery Hellman, the Bay Area native behind ISMAY’s unique sound, the album builds a bridge between past and present. "I create music that's informed by older traditions and makes you feel the way old folk music does," they say, "but it doesn't sound like something you've heard before." Like Songs of Sonoma Mountain, ISMAY’s critically acclaimed debut, Desert Pavement was heavily influenced by the California ranch where Hellman spent most of their 20s working the land. "My mom bought the ranch when I was 19 years old," Hellman remembers. "Environmental restoration was very important to her, and I was with her every step of the way, working to develop the ranch, raise cattle, replant creeks, and tend to the sheep. The perspective of my songwriting is very rooted in ranch life." ************ You can find ISMAY at www.ismaymusic.com , Facebook and Instagram (@ismaymusic) Be sure to listen to their great new album DESERT PAVEMENT today! ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     If you go to www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic you can find all the links to the podcast platforms we are on.    Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see video promos from some of our interviews.  Just search "know good music"."

Garrett's dad Gary joins Rob and G about 30 minutes in and Rob asks him how he handled his son going into the music business and other things only a father would have the answers to ... haha ********* A little bit about G Love: Shortly after moving to Boston, Dutton (soon to be G Love) met Tom DeMille, a local producer Dutton later nicknamed T-Time, a reference to DeMille’s appreciation for both music and golf).  In 1993, DeMille flew to New York to meet with a Los Angeles–based producer who had connections to Michael Jackson (arranged through a family friend). DeMille shared some studio and live recordings of Dutton, who had just started going by the moniker G. Love. Later in 1993, G. Love and Special Sauce (as the trio was now called) signed a record deal and released their first album in 1994. Known for his live shows, he is often seen touring with Jack Johnson and Citizen Cope. As a producer, Johnson signed G. Love to his record label Brushfire Records. He has made appearances on the records of artists such as Slightly Stoopid and Donavon Frankenreiter, and has toured with Dave Matthews. In 2009, he collaborated with Zap Mama on their album ReCreation, singing on the single "Drifting". In 2010, G. Love joined forces with The Avett Brothers who produced and are featured on his album "Fixin' to Die". The album was released under the Brushfire label on February 22, 2011. G Love and Special Sauce's latest album PHILADELPHIA MISSISSIPPI was released on June 26, 2022. G Love and Special Sauce are currently on their 30th anniversary tour for their debut album selling out shows across the US ************ You can find G Love on Instagram @phillyglove, and on Facebook (G Love & Special Sauce).

I grew up watching MTV as a teen (and beyond) and one band that stood out for me were THE HOOTERS (A Philadelphia PA band that looked fun and lyrically different with lines and melodies you'd remember for a long time).   Who can forget the songs "And We Danced", "All You Zombies", "Day by Day" and "Hanging on a Heartbeat" ?

We also give you a sample of a new song called GIFT from musician BILLY MAGERISON.  Billy gave us permission to play part of his new song! Before our main subject we cover (like always) albums turning 50/40/30 (in December) OUR MAIN SUBJECT: Matt and Rob have been to hundreds and hundreds of concerts over our lifetime and today we pick 5 concerts each that were most memorable for us.  What's remarkable is that we didn't pick any concerts in which we both attended (and we've been to a lot together starting back in the early 80s). We go into some stories / memories of the concert and other things that went on beyond the concert.  We also talk about the days of sleeping out for tickets (yeah, we are that old). Some of the concerts we talk about are: Bruce Springsteen U2 Simple Minds  & 21 Pilots (you'll have to listen to know what all 10 are) Hope you enjoy our latest podcast ... it's a long one at over 2 hours ... we like to talk. *********** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   Go to LINKTREE where you can find all the direct links to the podcast.  We are @knowgoodmusic Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see 2 video segments from some of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".

Dave Swift may not be a household name but he's shared the stage with legendary musicians such as Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Cher, Joss Stone, Eric Clapton, Roger Daughtry, Paul Simon ... and those are just a few.  He's been a member of Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra since 1991 and also a with the house band on Later with Jools Holland (one of the top tv shows in the UK) He's been called by Bass Guitar magazine as  "one of UK's top bassists" We had a great conversation with Dave and probably one of our longest interviews.  We covered a lot of ground from Dave's early beginnings learning his first instrument (not the bass) to auditioning for Jools Holland and recently recording with Rod Stewart for his upcoming album.  There's a lot in between and some great stories from Dave about some legendary musicians he's worked with.  Like the time they needed a guitar player to fill in (for the house guitarist) when Smokey Robinson was set to do a live show... you won't beleive who they got to fill in.   We thank Dave for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk to us.  He's currently on tour and also in rehearsals for the tv show so he's got a lot going on.  Dave was such a pleasure to talk to and you'll hear it in his voice how serious he is about what he does and the love for his art of making music. At the end of the interview we did ask some "non-music" questions and when we got into food you would not believe it but we ended up talking about cheeses (like our last interview).. this may be a new thing .. or not ..  ************ A little about Dave Swift: Since joining Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra in 1991, Dave Swift has established himself as one of the UK’s finest, high-profile bass players. In his career, which expands beyond three decades, Dave boasts a musician’s portfolio that seconds no other. Dave Swift has played for an array of renowned artists, from George Benson, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton to Amy Winehouse, Adele and Paul Simon.   Over the years he has performed at many prestigious events, such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Dubai International Jazz Festival, Blue Note Tokyo, Amnesty International, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Glastonbury Music Festival, and a G8 Conference for world leaders, which included former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and President Bill Clinton. Additional performances include the Millennium Night celebration at the Millennium Dome for Her Majesty the Queen and a sell-out concert at the Sydney Opera House during their 2008 tour of Australia and New Zealand. Dave Swift is currently on a UK tour with the Jools Holland Band throughout this month and December.  Joss Stone will join them on some dates along with Rod Stewart (who will show up for some shows as a surprise guest)   *********** You can find Dave on Instagram and be sure to check out his website at : daveswiftbass.com KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     If you go to www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic you can find all the links to the podcast platforms we are on.     Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see 2 video segments from some of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".

This is the 1st (of 3) in our series of HALLOWEEN / HORROR podcasts for the month of October Today we talk with SARA KARLOFF about her wonderful father and legendary actor BORIS KARLOFF who starred in over 160 films & tv shows.   We find out what Boris Karloff was really like! We also talk about the chiller theatre convention (in NJ), the website (karloff.com) and we even ask Sara some music questions. ************** ABOUT SARA: Sara Karloff was born on her father’s 51st birthday, November 23, 1938. Boris Karloff was filming Son of Frankenstein at the time. Sara jokes that she was “his most expensive birthday present ever.”   Ms. Karloff is widowed, has 2 grown sons and 3 grandchildren. She has lived in Rancho Mirage, CA since 1981. In 1993, following the death of her step-mother, Evelyn Karloff, Sara assumed the responsibility for the persona and licensing rights relating to her famous father and formed Karloff Enterprises. The company’s goal is to maintain a standard of excellence and appropriateness when the name or likeness of her father is used. Through the licensing process she has been able to make merchandise and collectibles available to her father’s fans. Sara met Ron Chaney (great-grandson of Lon Chaney Sr. and grandson of Lon Chaney Jr.) and Bela Lugosi Jr. (son of Bela Lugosi) for the first time in 1993 at a Famous Monsters of Filmland convention. As a result of that meeting a very special alliance was formed. Although initiated by Ron Chaney, Ms. Karloff spear-headed a three-year effort to have their respective famous relatives immortalized in a series of commemorative United States Postage Stamps. Petitions were circulated all over the country, and with the help of the Screen Actors Guild, the media, innumerable genre magazines, and thousands of fans worldwide, more than 17,000 signatures were collected in support of this project. It was the legions of fans who made this effort a reality. Sara continues to attend conventions around the world speaking about her iconic father and his remarkable legacy. Her favorite audiences are students whose questions reinforce her belief that these classic films are multi-generational in their appeal and their continued popularity is thanks to the wonderful fans!   Be sure to visit KARLOFF.com for some wonderful items and information on Boris Karloff. ************* KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see a couple video segments from each of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".

Today I talk to Philip and Truett from the Austin, Texas band BRISCOE.  We talk about their recent show where they got to open for The Dave Matthews Band, the making of the new album WEST OF IT ALL, a couple of the songs off the new album and more!   ABOUT BRISCOE: Briscoe is Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton. To record West of It All, the duo was joined by producer Brad Cook on bass, drummer Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), and multi-instrumentalist Phil Cook (Megafaun, Hiss Golden Messenger). Signed by ATO Records while undergrads, the Texan duo wrote West of It All as graduation loomed in the distance, funneling the stories of their college experience — from heartbreak to hard-won lessons to weekend trips into the rural countryside — into a raw, rugged blend of classic and contemporary influences. The result is a collection of 10 songs with folksy hooks and bold songwriting that bridges the gap between classic American roots music and its modern-day incarnation.    Formed at University of Texas at Austin, Briscoe quickly went from college gigs to selling out Antone’s and the Continental Club Gallery. As Briscoe continued to perform and grow their fanbase, a wider audience began to take notice. They soon opened shows for Noah Kahan and Ruston Kelly and were selected for dates with Zach Bryan and Caamp. After recently graduating from UT, Briscoe has had a packed touring summer filled with festivals alongside some of music’s biggest names — Bonnaroo, Winnetka Music Festival, FairWell Festival, Catbird Music Festival, and Iron Blossom Music Festival are a few.  The band is currently headlining a tour this fall to support West of It All.  You can order the new album and Briscoe Merchandise at : www.briscoetheband.com **************   KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.     Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see a couple video segments from each of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".   Thanks for listening Rob 

Today we talk to Paul Wexler about his Legendary Father: Jerry Wexler, Paul's work with Van Morrison and the Go Gos, his association with Stone Temple Pilots, we talk about Led Zeppelin (a band his father helped discover)  and of course Paul's own band WexWax and their debut album "Swept Away"! Rob met Paul many years ago when he walked into his print shop in Clinton, New Jersey (to get sheet music copied) .. they've recently re-connected through facebook.  It was such a pleasure to talk to Paul again and hearing how passionate he is about songwriting and playing music. ABOUT PAUL: Paul Wexler has spent much of his adult life producing music. Paul has produced and worked in the studio with such artists as The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, James Brown, The B52s, Grace Jones, The GoGos, Tin Huey, The Fleshtones, The Weirdos, The Mutants and others. The son of legendary producer/A&R/Record Man Jerry Wexler, Paul’s early immersion in the roots and branches of R&B, Country, Jazz and Rock’n’Roll was a gift from his father that keeps giving and is reflected in Wexwax’s diverse sound. For the past 8 years, Wexwax has been performing in NYC. Although Paul is now living in the Bay Area, he frequently returns to NYC to gig. After years of honing their sound, Wexwax has now recorded Swept Away, their debut album. Recorded at 25th Street Studios in Oakland with master engineer Gabriel Shepard helming the board (Taj Mahal, The Kronos Quartet) Swept Away is an ambitious work that fully embraces the band’s multifaceted live shows. ************** COPYRIGHT CLAIM: The songs "Trembling", "We're Going for a Ride", "She Doesn't Love Him" and "Voices From the Harbor" used with permission from Paul Wexler.

A Tribute to SINEAD OCONNOR - Special Edition Podcast We (Rob & Matt) recorded a special podcast today where we talk about Sinead O'Connor who passed away on July 26, 2023 in Herne Hill London UK. Sinead struggled throughout life despite being an incredible singer songwriter and finding fame (which most times doesn't matter at all).   We all hoped Sinead would win against her demons but in the end they won.  We were looking forward to her touring again and a new album. We were big fans of Sinead O'Connor's music from the start back in 1987 and followed her throughout her career and life.   We share our memories of Sinead throughout the years and we will tell you what our top 5 Sinead O'Connor songs are.   Thank you for listening!   *********** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see 2 video segments from most of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".

Today on KNOW GOOD MUSIC we talk with singer/songwriter : JESSE DANIEL EDWARDS We talk to Jesse while he is relaxing poolside about his new incredible album "VIOLENSIA", growing up in a small California town milking goats, his time as tour manager with Morrissey and some details on one of his new songs "What Ever Happened To" Jesse's voice is mesmerizing.  Think Morrissey meets Freddie Mercury meets Jeff Buckley!   ******** A little bit about JESSE DANIEL EDWARDS : Jesse Daniel Edwards is an alternative songwriter from the small mountain town of Cuyamaca, CA where he grew up without TV, internet, or significant exposure to the outside world. Leaving home at 16, he spent his late teens busking on street corners around the US and abroad. While singing outside of bars on Music Row in Nashville, TN, Jesse struck up a friendship with the late Al Bunetta (John Prine). Bunetta served as a mentor to the young artist, encouraging Jesse to write and tour full-time in the years to follow. After a sabbatical from touring, Jesse returned to the stage in 2021 with critically acclaimed Juni Ata - a collaborative project produced by Steve Cropper (Otis Redding, RCA), and arranger/co-producer Jacob Rosswog.  The resulting album "Saudade" charted successfully in the U.S. and abroad, while receiving significant airplay and garnering reviews in Mojo Magazine, American Songwriter, and the Associated Press. 2023 marks the vinyl re-release of 2012's "American Dreaming" (Cavity Search Records- Elliott Smith), and the summer release of piano rock opus "Violensia" (produced by Joe Chiccarelli- The Strokes, The Shins). ******** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   Visit our YouTube Channel where you can video segments from some of our past interviews.

Rob and Matt talk with legendary singer / songwriter MELANIE! We talk to Melanie about her experience at the original woodstock as one of only 3 solo performers.  Melanie goes into great detail about her experience; Starting with the moment she first heard of woodstock, flying for the first time in a helicopter and taking the stage in front of a massive audience (unlike anything she ever experienced). We also talk about: Her #1 song (in 1970) BRAND NEW KEY and how she came up with the idea for the song (you won't believe what it was).   Performing with Miley Cyrus (Backyard Sessions) Melanie's new album MAGIC BUS.  This is a radio interview and music from 1972.   We loved talking to Melanie and reliving many memories with her and you'll love this interview. *********** A little bit about Melanie: Melanie landed in the New York City music and radio scene in the late 1960’s. Her first single Beautiful People immediately became a turntable hit. Her first tour began with an impressive 40-day run of shows at Paris’ world-famous L’Olympia Theater at the personal invitation of Bruno Coquatrix. In the years to come she would entertain millions: at An Aquarian Exposition (the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival), at Carnegie Hall, and the Isle of Wight and Glastonbury music festivals, The Sydney Opera House, the South Korean DMZ, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Royal Albert Hall, and other theaters, halls and beloved music clubs around the globe. Melanie launched Neighborhood Records, making her the first American woman to open a mainstream record label. She recorded over 20 chart hits and many have been re-recorded. Melanie received an Emmy after composing lyrics for the theme song of the hit television series Beauty and the Beast. “What Have They Done to My Song Ma” was re-recorded by Ray Charles with the Count Basie Band. Nina Simone delivered a remarkable rendition, as well. “(Lay Down) Candles in the Rain” was re-recorded by Mott the Hoople on their 1971 album Wildlife. Meredith Brooks and Queen Latifah later re-recorded the anthem. “Some Say (I Got Devil)" was re-recorded by Smith’s frontman Morrissey. Melanie has always known her calling in life was to entertain. Audiences have welcomed her to the stage for more than fifty years, and she continues to perform today. ******** KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.   Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see 2 video segments from this interview.  Just search "know good music".
