S2 Episode 1 Tituss Burgess
During the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I had the honor of having some of the most extraordinary raw unedited conversations with many of my friends. It was so hard for me not to be a fan. I never ask them these questions. So all of this was new to me. Ron left me alone so I had no supervision. Yes…I annoyed myself getting too excited. (Laughing) Still I’m grateful all of this happened.
Season 2 of Listenback The Podcast opens the first episode with Emmy Nominated Actor and Recording Artist Tituss Burgess (UnBreakable Kimmy Schmidt, RESPECT). One special moment he shares is the phone call he had just received during this time, coming off of the heels of his tribute at Carnegie Hall to the late Great Stephen Sondheim.

S2 Episode 4 Gregg Field
Grammy and Emmy Award Winning Producer Gregg Field has been one of my favorite producers because he knows how to work with vocalist.
He has believed in me and celebrated my jazz roots more than anyone I know. Gregg has played with Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie Orchestra and Frank Sinatra…so many wonderful stories navigating between genres and working with legends we read about in music books. This is definitely one of my favorite conversations.

This was the first time we actually talked about some of his musical journey with Earth Wind Fire and how does it feel contributing to todays Culture.
