    How the dt’s Are Bringing Their Sound to the North to Shore Festival [Episode 196]

    In this episode, we caught up with the dt’s — David Cacciatore and Tom Losito — as they gear up for their sold-out North to Shore Festival performance at Wonder Bar on June 22 with Penelope Road and the Mike Montrey Band. The North to Shore Festival is a unique celebration of New Jersey’s arts and culture, giving local artists like The DTs the opportunity to share the stage and gain exposure alongside nationally recognized acts. It’s an exciting platform for emerging talent across the state. We explored the band’s journey since forming in 2020, their signature blend of genres, and how they maintain a dynamic live show with a rotating cast of musicians. We also discussed the vibrant diversity of New Jersey’s music scene and the importance of balancing individuality with regional influences. the dt’s shared behind-the-scenes stories — from past gigs (including a funny run-in with Jane Seymour) to their evolving plans for live recordings and acoustic sessions. Along the way, the conversation touched on everything from North to Shore Festival planning to family traditions, guitar repair, and the joy of performing live. With plenty of humor and heart, the dt’s gave us a glimpse into their creative process, stage chemistry, and the community that continues to support them as they grow.

    Burton Cummings: A Brand-New Resurgence [Episode 191]

    Doug and Diane recently got to fulfill their dream of interviewing a legendary musician as they sat down and chatted with Burton Cummings … vocalist, keyboardist, and primary songwriter for the chart-topping ’60s/’70s rock band – The Guess Who! A gifted and prolific songwriter and musician, Cummings crafted massive hit singles like "American Woman," "These Eyes," "Laughing," and many more—songs that have stood the test of time and continue to resonate across generations. Cummings embarked on a very fruitful solo career following his tenure with the band and is now currently on his solo 60th Anniversary Hits Tour. The tour started last year and will span a large portion of 2025 – stopping in Red Bank, NJ on March 18th at the Basie Center for the Arts. With over thirty (30) – yes, you heard that correctly – thirty albums and dozens of Top 10 hits, we realized immediately that Burton is living his absolute best life and has no intention of slowing down. Filled with joy from playing with his band of 20+ years and by the positive reactions he receives daily from his fans, the Canadian musician promises there is much more music to come. During our podcast, we learned about Burton’s childhood; the many iconic musicians he’s met and played with; his songwriting methods; and even some advice he has for vocalists about keeping their voices in tip-top shape. You will NOT be disappointed if you tune in and listen to this gem of a conversation where you’ll hear super interesting stories and nuggets of information about this iconic frontman and solo artist. You will also be left with a smile on your face because of the pure joy Burton exudes, which we found to be thoroughly contagious! Join us on March 18th as we soak up the talent and energy of Burton Cummings at the Count Basie Center for the Arts! Tickets can be found here!
