     Today’s guest is bassist Graham Maby. His association with British musician Joe Jackson began in 1973 when they became members of a local Portsmouth cover band. Five years later Jackson’s solo recording career took off, with Graham’s bass playing front and center on albums like Look Sharp! and I’m the Man. Jackson’s biggest-selling album came in 1982, with the million-selling Night and Day. The success of the album firmly established Jackson as an artist and Maby’s reputation as a versatile bass player.
     Since 1983, Graham has lived in the USA. During that time, as well as working on numerous albums and tours with Jackson, he has recorded and performed live with many different artists, among them: Marshall Crenshaw, Natalie Merchant, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Ian Hunter, Freedy Johnston, They Might Be Giants, Henry Lee Summer, the Silos, Graham Parker, Darden Smith, Dar Williams, Garland Jeffreys, Joy Askew, and Regina Spektor.

W2 creates hook driven, infectious pop-rock!  Inspired from the classic rock anthems we grew up on but infused with a contemporary pop edge!
W2 is a new project from the songwriting team Joe Walden and Phil Went (the "W's" in "W2").  Born out of lockdown, W2 was a chance for us to collaborate with musician friends who have been part of our musical journey.  Early in quarantine, we started working on a group of new songs written as a reflection of the times we were living through and the feelings that the experience inspired.  Both Phil and Joe have worked on various musical projects over the years, performing together with the bands Signal 2 Noise and Ghost Pepper in a variety of local venues, most notably opening for national acts at The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie.
We're happy to announce that W2 has just released our brand new album "4 Corners of a Circle" - available for streaming everywhere and on limited CD release!

Graham Maby was born on September 1, 1952 and grew up in the small English south coast town of Gosport, near Portsmouth. His musical “awakening” happened at age ten when he heard the Beatles’ first single “Love Me Do” on the radio. Six years later he taught himself to play guitar, then bass.
His association with British musician Joe Jackson began in 1973 when they became members of a local Portsmouth cover band. Five years later Jackson’s solo recording career took off, with Graham’s bass playing front and center on albums like Look Sharp! and I’m the Man. Jackson’s biggest-selling album came in 1982, with the million-selling Night and Day. The success of the album firmly established Jackson as an artist and Maby’s reputation as a versatile bass player.
Since 1983, Graham has lived in the USA. During that time, as well as working on numerous albums and tours with Jackson, he has recorded and performed live with many different artists, among them: Marshall Crenshaw, Natalie Merchant, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Ian Hunter, Freedy Johnston, They Might Be Giants, Henry Lee Summer, the Silos, Graham Parker, Darden Smith, Dar Williams, Garland Jeffreys, Joy Askew, and Regina Spektor.
Graham co-produced Freedy Johnston’s breakthrough album Can You Fly in 1992, and has had small roles in two major movies, Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) and The Joker (2019).
He has two children, Claire and Pierce, and now lives with his third wife, Maureen, on Long Island.

Today’s guest is singer/songwriter Freedy Johnston. Freedy’s one of those rare singer-songwriters who counts critics among his biggest fans — and whose heroes consider him a peer. In 1994 Rolling Stone named Johnston the ‘Songwriter of the Year’, describing him as “A master storyteller, (who) sketches out full-blown tragedies in a few poetic lines, and he joins that elite cadre of songwriters—Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Elvis Costello.
