94twenty podcast Carl Allocco

In this episode, we talk about the difference between having a derivative sound vs an inspired sound as a musician; what's STILL been going on in Nashville and NY; and a trip down memory lane with more stories from Greg and Carl's past!

"What would you say has been your biggest challenge in pursuing your music career?" That's the question that we asked a few artists this week! 94twenty is evolving and we have incorporated a new "QUESTION OF THE WEEK" segment that will feature answers from artists and industry experts. You'll hear you their thoughts (and ours) on how they are looking at the future of music! This week, Nigel Passey, Melanie Meriney, Adam James of the UK band Calm and Alaina & Katy from Maybe April were all kind enough to answer our very first "QOTW"! Take a listen - and if you have a question to ask or would like to answer one in a future episode, feel free to email us at info@94twenty.com!

When was the last time you truly listened? This week, Nicole, Greg and Carl dive into the topic of listening and how it not only can make you a better communicator but a better music artist as well. There is something to be said for being able to truly listen to what's going on around you, as opposed to simply 'hearing' what someone else is saying! We enjoyed talking about this topic and hope you'll like 'listening' to it!

Isaac Stern Interview

Movies, we all love them, we all watch them, especially during these times. But how many of us really understand how the music behind the movies we love moves the story forward without us even knowing it? This week, we all talk about our favorite music in film. Why it moves us. And how the film industry's usage of music has changed over the years. While discussing the recent biopic of Queen, we even get to hear a personal story of Carl's on how the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" came to be. Featured music this week, appropriately, will be assorted excerpts from scores that have been featured in movies over the years!

On this week's episode of the 94twenty podcast we talk about how we're feeling and what we are doing as the country starts to re-open. We also talk about what the music tech business has been up to this week and why it has Nicole's interest. And why some writers do well with 'confessional' songwriting, and what the differences are between that and other styles . . . and more! Our featured artist this week is the wonderful country duo Hadley Park.
