“What’s love got to do with it?”. “Ya like jazz?”. “If Chekhov and Shakespeare were Mortal Kombat characters, who would win?” - Oh boy do we tackle the big questions this week with our friend and guest, Geovonday Jones! Grab a bourbon and hang out with Dave, JJ and Geo onstage as they riff on Geo’s playlist, featuring Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Tank and the Bangas, Chika, Tina Turner and more! Geo highlights meditation practices through music, two playwrights go head to head, and the gang ponders on if/when a Nina Simone musical will ever happen. If you live in St. Louis, share some love with our guest by checking out his directorial works onstage this fall!

It's the 90s! You got a violin? How about a digeridoo? Maybe a cajón? Toss it all in with some guitar and chill vocals and you got a beachy band! But who're you going to enjoy this with? Don't worry, we got your back - meet this week's guest and friend of the podcast, Stephanie LaVardera! Grab a LaCroix and hang out with David, James and Stephanie on the D.M.B. Festival Grass as they riff on her playlist, featuring Carole King, James Taylor, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Billy Joel and more! The trio dive into the appreciation of live albums vs studio albums, James demos his SNL reel with impressions, and David saddles up to do battle with the classic rock community. Remember - you're not a dork, or an old soul, you're simply vintage.

MEGA-SODE ALERT! You ever just have so much rock n’roll, you can’t handle it all by yourself? Luckily, David and James found the perfect trio to help carry that weight a long time. Gear up for the stories and experiences throughout the last few decades of rock with one of America’s premier families of music aficionados - this week’s guests, the Hentz Brothers! Grab a cup of coffee, hang out with David, James, Steve, Tom and Jim in the S.A lounge, and get a glance into the relationships each of the three brothers have with rock n’ roll, individually or together. Tom offers some sizzling hot takes on Monkees Vs. Beatles, Steve muses on his history with metal, and Jim discusses the music that got him through the early military days. Note: if you see any inflatable pigs floating throughout your neighborhood, don’t panic - it just means you may have some awesome concerts nearby. Cheers!

This week’s guest and rising star, Jada Cato (featured on GLAAD’s 2021 Concert for Love and Acceptance on CMT), joins the boys to start the new season with a bang! Grab your finest two-buck chuck and hang out in the S.A. wine cellar with David, James and Jada as they discuss Jada’s playlist, featuring Selena, Taylor Swift, Janelle Monae, SZA, Ariana Grande and more! The group talks deluxe edition albums, advanced choir days, lo-fi grooves, and the importance of representation in music.
