  3. Sierra Levesque is the New Generation

    Sierra Levesque is the New Generation

    At just 21 years old, Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Levesque is proving that guitar-driven rock still has the power to ignite a new generation.    Raised on the sounds of Guns N’ Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, and Heart, Levesque transformed an early obsession with music into a relentless pursuit of artistry, teaching herself the drums, piano, guitar, and bass by the age of 13,  while developing a sound that channels the energy and guitar-driven spirit of ’80s hard rock and metal with her own distinct style.   Her explosive live performances, unmistakable image, and fearless authenticity have already earned praise from Guitar World, which called her “the future of rock ’n’ roll,” while mentors and collaborators, including Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N' Roses), Nancy Wilson, and LA Guns, have become part of her rapidly expanding orbit. Yet despite the comparisons to past icons, Levesque remains focused on carving out her own identity. “I wanna be Sierra Levesque,” she says. “I don’t really wanna be the next someone.”   What makes Levesque especially compelling is her refusal to simply imitate the artists who inspired her. Whether she’s performing arena national anthems, sharing stages with rock legends, or building a fiercely loyal online following, her focus remains on creating music that feels unmistakably her own. “I want people to know it’s Sierra Levesque when they hear me,” she explains — a mission that comes fully alive on her debut album NEW GENERATION, a 13-track collection of fully original, self-recorded songs that has already surpassed 2.5 million Spotify streams. Combining heavy riffs, emotionally honest songwriting, and arena-sized hooks, NEW GENERATION positions Sierra Levesque as one of the most exciting young artists carrying rock forward for the NEXT GENERATION.   Sierra Levesque’s WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY    Photo Credits: Jack Lue   Chapters – Sierra Levesque 00:00 – Jeremiah's Rock & Roll Origin Story Jeremiah shares how discovering AC/DC as a kid changed his life and set him on a path toward music. 10:09 – From Musical Theater to Heavy Metal Sierra discusses growing up in musical theater, discovering rock music, and the influence of her family. 18:00 – KISS, Ozzy, and Finding Her Musical Identity The bands that shaped Sierra's sound, her first rock concert, and why classic rock became her passion. 22:17 – Taking Chances and Learning Every Instrument Sierra talks about reaching out to artists, learning guitar, bass, drums, and piano, and the discipline behind her success. 31:45 – Self-Doubt, Perseverance, and Online Criticism A candid conversation about confidence, criticism, social media, and staying focused on long-term goals. 37:08 – Song Feature: "Don't Go" Sierra introduces her single "Don't Go" and the inspirations behind the song. 45:26 – Loss, Mentorship, and Finding Her Sound Remembering mentor Pat Hamill, working with Bumblefoot, and developing a unique artistic voice. 01:13:54 – The Future of Rock & Roll Sierra discusses her vision for modern rock, inspiring young musicians, and carrying the torch for a new generation.   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

    Beau James Wilding and Nicole Sophia are 'Too Young To Die'

    Singer-songwriter Beau James Wilding returns to The Jeremiah Show to introduce his evolving dark folk project, Food for the Wyrm, and the haunting new album A Wicked Huntsman. Drawing inspiration from traditional folk ballads, doom, punk, and Irish storytelling traditions, Beau opens up about embracing life’s darker emotions instead of hiding from them. From recording in Ireland to exploring themes of mortality, suffering, and transformation, Beau shares how the album became both a meditation on death and a celebration of being fully alive. Summon the Wrym! Food For The Wyrm Later in the episode, pop artist Nicole Sophia returns with her powerful new single “Too Young to Die” from her album Feral. Nicole speaks candidly about mental health, OCD, social media authenticity, self-love, and the emotional highs and lows that come with building an independent music career. The conversation explores how music can become both a survival tool and a form of resistance, while Nicole continues encouraging listeners to embrace every imperfect part of themselves without apology.

    Tom Vozzo The Homeboy Way

    Former Homeboy Industries CEO Tom Vozzo joins The Jeremiah Show for a moving conversation about the Homeboy Way, the work of Father Greg Boyle, and the power of healing through jobs, community, and belonging.  After 26 years in corporate America, Vozzo left the for-profit world and helped grow Homeboy Industries into the world’s largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program. In this episode, Tom shares why people are more than the worst thing they have ever done, how Homeboy helps formerly gang-involved and incarcerated individuals rebuild their lives, and why the launch of Homeboy Media is giving the community a new way to tell its own stories through music, podcasting, film, and art.   Music Soundtrack Featuring These Homeboy Media Artists    PONCHO THA POPSTAR - Mountains Tremendous TM, the SARGENT - Homeboy Industries Dyamond Watts, “Mrs. Black Dyamond” - ShotGun SOULFUL SMALLZ - Do The Time SirMaam and Melanie Castillo - OUTSIDE N LA   The Homeboy Way Podcast with Tom Vozzo and Father Boyle   Homeboy Industries   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Homeboy Industries and Tom Vozo 04:23 The Homeboy Way: A New Approach to Business 10:52 Bridging Corporate America and Social Impact 16:52 The Importance of Compassion in Hiring 22:52 Healing Through Community and Support 28:27 The Foundation of Healing: Addressing Trauma 34:01 Real Businesses for Real Change: The Homeboy Model 37:06 The Heart of Homeboy Industries 39:25 Radical Acceptance and Community Healing 45:21 The Launch of Homeboy Media 51:39 The Power of Storytelling and Transformation 56:54 Listening and Kinship as Healing 01:01:37 Engaging with Homeboy Industries   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Become a Brand Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com,  https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

    *This episode originally aired in September, 2022. Dedicated in loving memory to Dawson. "Love Like Dawson"   Today on The Jeremiah Show, I’m joined by Ava Lynn Thuresson, the breakout artist who earned a two-chair turn on Season 22 of The Voice with her haunting reimagining of Britney Spears’ “...Baby One More Time.” During our conversation, Ava Lynn opens up about the emotional journey behind her music, the influence of her late cousin Dawson, and the meaning behind the message “Love Like Dawson,” which has become both a tribute and a way of life for her family.   We also talk about growing up between California and North Carolina, attending the prestigious Grammy Camp, songwriting, family, and what it felt like hearing coaches John Legend and Camila Cabello fight to have her on their teams. Ava Lynn performs live in the studio, shares original music, and reflects on turning personal loss into creativity and connection.   This episode is filled with heart, family, and honesty.
