Memphis Machine Jonathan Bass and Carl Caspersen

Rod Norwood is a font of knowledge when it comes to vintage guitars. A dealer for decades, we get into the world of the vintage guitar market and all the related shenanigans. Steve Selvidge and Rod have known each other for quite some time and their relationship on social media is all but legendary. We have attempted to get these two on the show for 2 seasons now and we finally did it. Enjoy the ride.

Part 2 of our conversation with Rod and Steve.

Carl and I had the pleasure of working with Joshua during the Wednesday Night Titans show where McLane and Brennan performed with their band, HEELS. Joshua is a comic in Memphis. An art form for which, I dare say, Memphis is not necessarily known. We have a candid conversation about McLane’s life within each his performing arts.

Andria Brown is the founder of Folk All Y’all which is an organization that endeavors to create “intimate, attentive listening rooms presenting world-class singer-songwriters all over Memphis.” Andria began providing these spaces in her own home and soon this labor of love grew into a network of contributors.

Mark is the founder of South Main Sounds which essentially a record store but one that is also a “songwriter venue in Downtown Memphis and advocates for original music.”

Adam is bassist and founder of the Obruni Dance Band, which “is more than a band. It is a community, a vision, a call to love. [Their] goal is to make neighbors out of strangers through music, dance performances, and art. The word "Obruni" comes from the Twi language that is spoken through much of Ghana, in West Africa. Obruni means "foreigner" or non-Ghanaian.” When not playing Highlife music in Obruni you can catch Adam with his classic country and western band, Big Barton and as a sideman in various groups around town. Enjoy our conversation with Adam Holton.
