They talk about discovering that both are from British Columbia and tell us what brought them to California.
Sherri-Anne and Lisa talk about their album Rise Up For Love and about their fan base beingthe strongest in San Diego, Chicago and British Columbia. They discuss their DIY approach to their band, with no labels or managers and talk about the different level of enthusiasm for original music in the various cities they have toured. Canada and places like New York City seem to be much more supportive , but the one thing that seems to resonate with all audiences is authenticity.

Shaun and Greg talk about their history of playing together for a long time and the difficulty they had in finding the right drummer and bass player. Bandalier discuss what sets them apart – the willingness to experiment with different parts and styles and the ability to blend it all together into a seamless whole; a sound at once familiar and accessible and at the same time unique and fresh. The band members talk about their influences – everything from classic and prog rock to Punk, English folk and video game music.
Bandalier talk about recording at Pacific Beat Studio in Pacific Beach, San Diego and about giving their album away for free at live shows, or asking for donations, instead of charging a set price. We discuss some of the challenges faced by local bands, the predominance of the Pay-To-Play model being one of the biggest hurdles for up-and-coming bands and ways to get around such obstacles. We discuss the importance of local bands supporting each other to build a community and a vibrant local music scene, and talk about the new San Diego chapter of Balanced Breakfast, a support, education and networking collective of musicians and industry professionals which aims to do just that.

"Back Home (From Indiana)"
Joe Luna talks about growing up in a musical family, with both parents musicians, following in his brothers footsteps in picking up the sax and later attending the Berklee School of Music. Jody talks about her approach to bass and finding the Japanese “Tune” bass to be an electric bass that is very close to the sound of an upright. Alan, also a Berklee alumnus, talks about getting his start in music and his musical ear from his mother who was a classical piano player, initially being drawn to rock music and developing a love of jazz relatively late, once he began to study it seriously at Berklee. Nathan, a classical music major, talks about his parents and his grandmother being the people who inspired him to become an artist. 
We discuss the local jazz scene and the San Diego music scene in general. Despite many clubs closing down, jazz in San Diego is managing to stay vibrant. We talk about the highly stratified nature of the music scene in San Diego and the need for more venues that support varied live music that would help integrate and unify the various styles into a self-supportive community.
