    Eliot Zigmund On Gone In 30 Minutes S2 EP9

    Eliot Zigmund, American jazz drummer best known for being one-third of Bill Evans’ legendary Trio (as well as stints with Jim Hall, Chet Baker, Stan Getz and so many others), joins us this week on GITM. Zigmund describes auditioning for Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard in front of a live audience, the experience of gigging 5-6 nights per week and the art of playing with the incomparable Vince Guaraldi. Likening his role to that of a carpenter, Eliot shares thoughts on leaving space and adding color to the immortal Evans’ Trio performances. This week we are also joined by jazz producer Nick Phillips! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Donovan Woods on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 EP8

    Award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods—who splits his time between Toronto and Nashville —has been rapidly garnering esteem for his heart-tuggingly beautiful ballads, like the recently released duet “IOWA” (which Wheel of Fortune would credit in the form of Before and After “Aoife O'Donovan Woods”). In this latest installment of GITM, with additional guest-host Brad Kennard, Woods sits down to chat about a songwriter’s unique challenges in the age of Covid, his unique and exciting collaborations with dancers and visual artists around the world, and the ethos behind his own record label. Fun is abound, with dichotomies of relief/revenge, hospitality/rudeness and kindness/cruelty swung around freely like confetti. It’s a party!

    Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes) on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 Ep7

    Indie legend Brian Ritchie of Violent Femmes appears on the latest installment of Gone In 30 Minutes to chat about life on the big, blue(ish) marble. A seminal figure of punk, Ritchie thinks back to his upbringing in Milwaukee, the band’s…let’s say…less-than-ideal deal with Slash Records and the incessant nature of music itself. And Ritchie hasn’t stopped either—in addition to curating for annual music and arts festival MONA FOMA, in his homeland of Tasmania, he’s been broadcasting daily performances so we never lose touch of that “American Music.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Watkins Family Hour (Sara & Sean Watkins Of Nickel Creek) on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 Ep6

    Los Angeles-based Sean and Sara Watkins (of GRAMMY®-Award-winning Nickel Creek) share how their musical neighborhood has contracted and expanded over the past year. The brother-sister pair (their album "brother sister" came out in 2020) has taken Watkins Family Hour—their well-loved variety show in residence at Largo for the last 20 years—to Sean’s backyard, where they’ve livestreamed intimate, socially distanced concerts via Patreon. They discuss holding communal space for their Largo family while opening the doors to new friends outside LA and muse on the ways in which lockdown has afforded us a deeper capacity for feeling (are we all crying more?). Finally, they offer a tender reflection on their dear late friend, drummer Don Heffington.

    Kevin Griffin (Better Than Ezra) on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 Ep5

    We all know Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra at one point was doing pretty "good." In this (quite possibly most hilarious) edition of GITM, we find out how the man, myth and legend is doing now. (Spoiler alert—pretty fabulous.) With a solo album recently behind his sails (Anywhere You Go), the Pilgrimage Festival co-founder, unparalleled skilled mimic (watch for an unmissable impromptu GITM theme song) and consummate “palaverer” shares his preferred hugging style, thoughts on everything from bubble-machines to electric bikes and unique insight into the power of positive thinking.

    Neal Francis on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 Ep4

    Neal Francis was just ramping up on the road to promote his critically acclaimed debut album Changes when 2020 pulled the brakes. In a year that would have found the funky, New Orleans-inspired keyboardist/singer-songwriter on stage in Europe and Japan, he instead holed up in his beloved hometown of Chicago, taking the opportunity to teach himself reel-to-reel to recording while completing his yet-to-be-released sophomore album on Otari 8-track. A lover of analog and retro, Francis takes us back in time to his childhood music roots, where he was messing around on the piano by age 2 and soon devouring his father’s eclectic record collection and wearing out a compilation cassette of soul music. He reveals the film that gave him the rock ’n’ roll bug at age 7, the cover you least expect him to play today and his optimistic approach to life’s many curveballs.

    Allison Russell and JT Nero on Gone in 30 Minutes S2 Ep3

    Tune in as Allison Russell and JT Nero discuss their song writing process and the life experiences that inspired upcoming album, Outside Child (produced by Dan Knobler). Russell’s startlingly honest and endearing premiere solo album, to be released this Spring on Fantasy Records, allows us to imagine the beauty of possibilities and to envision the promise of an ultra-bright horizon.
