Here it is! The episode you've all been waiting for.  Tony sits down with the amazing Jecca Cappelluti and gets the down low on everything she has happening.  They chat about goings on during quarantine, the musical process and how it's different for each person, Jecca's desire to be remembered as a poet and the ever important question: What do you call an extra life in a video game?  

If you heard the teaser episode already, I know you're as excited as I am for this Jam session.  

Songs covered in this episode: 

Peace Train by Cat Stevens 

Stand by Me by Ben E. King

Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers

This is Jecca lending her gorgeous gritty vocals to Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine, accompanied by Tony DeLuca on the keys. 

Full episode available Thursday July 23.

After a short hiatus, Singspiel is back!  Tony sits down with Jeremy James of Ampersand Project, and gets an insider's look at the workings of his musical mind.  

Really opening up for our host, James talks about working through ADHD and anxiety to be able to finally share his talent with the world.  Not to mention, do you prefer Blues or New Metal?  Neither, actually, or both.  Listen and find out what this artist thinks.  

Jeremy James, or Jay as he's known to friends, flexes his vocal versatility with the classic country Sacred Ground by McBride & the Ride and then blows it out of the water with a contemporary R&B cover, Halo by Beyonce'.  And, all that before the jam session where they run the gamut again, this time with Tony on piano.

This episode Tony sits down with Halen Allison, the drummer from Exter.  They cover everything from what it's like to really mesh with your band mates to how it feels to get on stage with Imposter Syndrome and the process Halen uses when learning or writing a new song.  You don't want to miss this jam session either!   (SPOILER ALERT!)  They both leave their comfort zones a bit and perform an original of Halen's and Tony sings us a tune.
