Sonic Byways with Jamie Lynn

Jamie discusses her love for the capo, which has revolutionized her guitar tab possibilities - if not her 90-second chord change  - and brought her ever-closer to playing some of her favorite songs heard 'round the campfire, after climbing and throughout her years of music appreciation.   From Landslide to Pancho and Lefty, Hayes Carll to the Monkees, Jamie calls out the chords, shares stories behind the songs and maybe-barely -almost perfectly air guitars along on her side of the mic.
And remember, people...every rose has its thorn.

Jamie tears her ACL and decides to go to SXSW Music Festival for a pre-surgery hurrah.   She discovers a five-hour Woody Guthrie Tribute; ogles Bruce Springsteen during his keynote address;  visits with well-dressed musicians (Patrolled by Radar!) and pries herself away from day-drinking just in time to catch her flight.
Back in Aspen, it's the Aspen's 7908 Songwriter's Festival, and Austin's Carrie Rodriguez and Luke Jacobs stop by the studio for a special Saturday a.m. edition of Sonic Byways.  The three talk songwriting therapy,  food trailer favorites, and Carrie's penchant for a coupla ice-cold Baltimore Ladies.
Featuring an in-studio performance, highlights from SXSW and a music medley from The Preservationists and Patrolled by Radar...you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go to Austin.

The most exciting thing to come out of New Orleans since the lunar eclipse...Jamie visits with her new favorite musical act, The Revivalists, and ponders the end of the world, UFOs and why bands sound better with their shirts off.  For further reading, see the spread in OffBeat Magazine: http://www.offbeat.com/2012/03/01/the-revivalists-cosmic-things/

Got a core shot in your Phat Luvs? Need a bar chord and a capo?  Patrick Vaughan and Ken Quiricone join me - on Valentine's Day, no less - to talk ski shop, bathroom sets and launch the world-premiere of the cult classic "Man From Japan": the only minute-seventy second song that ends on a bridge.  With a screeching halt.
And in an historical radio moment, the fellas dust off the Beatles' C-side never-before-aired basement/attic/gear-locker tape..."Let Us Ski".

I spent some quality time with Cochrane from the drum section, and we explored life on tour, live vs. in the studio, and why Tea Leaf Green will always be a band of bruised romantics.  Sigh.

Folly  Beach's James Justin and crew (Company) take over Aspen Mountain, the gondola ride down and late-night clubs, while the Beard and Moustache Society represent with their own unique genre: the almighty Beardgrass.

A revolutionary Skype Interview with the Front Range's newcomers The David James Band - David, to be exact - with an old school surprise musical connection, Sonic Byways-style.  David and friends, with lots of keyboards and a much-needed break from Med School.
