    Episode 101: Chris Duarte

    In this episode Jerrell speaks with one of his guitar heroes, Chris Duarte. " "To classify Chris Duarte simply as a Blues Man is an understatement.  In his own words, “rockin’ blues” or ”punk blues” describes him best.  “Ferocious blues” also fits.  Legend has it that Chris will play so hard that his fingers bleed in a set.  The legend is true.  Photos attest. Chris Duarte is a road warrior playing more than 150 dates a year.  As well, Chris has headlined major festivals and clubs throughout the US, Canada and Europe." [excerpt from duarte.rocks/about] We talk about his experience working on his albums, gear and the importance of all generations witnessing live music.

    Episode 98: Sean Howe

    In this episode, Jerrell speaks with singer-songwriter and frontman guitarist Sean Howe from the band Geanies. Howe has the colossal sound and technical delivery of a player well beyond his years. He’s joined on the record by Eliot Lorango on bass and Ethan Maxwell on drums, making this a band to contend with. Howe found music at age seven while innocently listening to a band in an after-school program. He started noodling with his father's guitars and quickly mastered the basics. Sean's mother shared her love for chordal harmonies with him. They are releasing their debut EP, Can't See The Sun, on July 14th via Mule Kick Records
