Hi. Let's talk to independent musicians! My name's Ronn Benway.
I've worked selling music for a long time. This is a field recording show documenting independent music in this modern age. I have many artistic friends you've maybe never heard of. Let's travel around, talk to them and hear what they do. Hopefully we'll meet some strangers along the way. We might ask what they do too.

    S2 Epi. #13 David Michael Thomas plays/writes in nerdcore bands 3d6 and Time Crashers from Vegas

    Another car session recorded in Fabulous Las Vegas. I talk music and nerd-rock songwriting with a young musician named David Michael Thomas who plays in local bands 3d6 and Time Crashers. He sat in the back seat of his car and sang songs about Star Wars, dragons, armageddon and video games. I sat outside. He's a very talented musician! Enjoy and share with everyone you know.

    S2 Epi. #12 The Midnight Disease (Brenden K. Jones) Plays lo-fi sadcore from Las Vegas

    After a long quarantine hiatus the RBTTFAS webcast is back. I meet with a talented songwriter from Las Vegas named Brenden K. Jones. He performs under the moniker The Midnight Disease. He sat in a car and I sat 6 feet away outside of the car. I snaked a sterilized clip on mic with an 8 foot cable through the window and we made a webcast. Just like Clancy would. Thanks for listening and don't be afraid to share this with your friends. Cheers! #podcast #benwaybop #lasvegas #singersongwriter #originalmusic #acousticguitar #whattolistentoinvegas #themidnightdisease #ronnbenway #rbttfas #ronnbenwaytalkstofriendsandstrangers #lofi #sadcore #diy #acoustic #vegas #vegasmusicscene #brendenkjones

    S2 Epi. #11 Whitney Mongé -powerful singer/songwriter/guitarist Seattle music scene rising star

    S2 Epi. #11 Whitney Mongé -powerful singer/songwriter/guitarist Seattle music scene rising star

    I met Whitney Mongé more than a decade ago while she and I were busking in the Pike Place Market. She is now a staple of the Seattle music scene. She gigs around the city as a solo or with a power trio playing her original, soulful music with much success. You can find her at The Hard Rock Cafe on Valentine's Day for the third year in a row. She met me in a small office in the Pike Place Market to reminisce and look to the future. Thanks to Megan Lee for loaning us the office to meet in. Thanks for listening. Please leave a review wherever you listen to this podcast.

    S2 Epi. #10 Jonah Ray plays Yankovic! Musician, comedian, actor, podcast host, mediocre retail clerk

    S2 Epi. #10 Jonah Ray plays Yankovic! Musician, comedian, actor, podcast host, mediocre retail clerk

    Jonah Ray lives in Los Angeles. We used to work in a record store together in Venice Beach. He's is on tour working on material for a new comedy record. He was nice enough to invite me backstage at The Fremont Abbey in Seattle to record a podcast episode. He sings a few Mel Brooks songs and a "Weird" Al cover from his new album on Asian Man Records. We talk about old days and new days and MST3K. Jonah, Cash and Neil make a podcast called Jonah Raydio that I love and you should listen to next. Thanks for listening.

A lotta heart and soul in this podcast

So, it’s time you know about Ronn Benway’s podcast. It warms my heart to know people are still out there creating music because they can and because it’s fun and they won’t ever be famous for it but they’re actually better than most of the famous bands out there.
If you’re from Las Vegas, definitely give it a listen because these are hidden treasures. Ronn also spends a lot of time in Seattle and other cities so he talks to people here, there and everywhere. He also goes out on the street to record buskers which gives the podcast a lot of soul. Ronn is also a busker and talks a bit about that.
So, we have: bands, singer-songwriter types, street musicians, Ronn.
I’m enjoying it! You shall too! Subscribe!
