Exclusive interviews with musicians of Louisiana, covering their music scene and getting to know the people behind the music.

    Johnny Lagrange

    Johnny Lagrange

    Guitarist and vocalist Johnny Lagrange of The Bald Dog Project hails from Garyville, Louisiana. We talk about his roots in Cajun and country music, and how the greats like Black Sabbath and Slayer broadened his exploration. His move into sobriety never stifled his creativity. Rather, authored frustrations written during recovery, coupled with an acoustic guitar he was given as a gift, fueled a fusion of acoustic and heavy metal that has come to be known as The Bald Dog Project. It causes us to define what is "heavy" in music and transitions us to a new project that's been under wraps until now. The Blackwall Symphony, an amalgamation of heavy metal and orchestra is revealed. Join us!

    Sean Riley

    Sean Riley

    Freshly signed to Pugnacious Records, singer/ songwriter and guitarist Sean Riley originally hails from Saratoga Springs, New York. He grew up listening to Roy Orbison, Beach Boys, Paul Simon, and Waylon Jennings. Though no one in his family played, he just loved the look of an SG hanging on the music shop wall and took it upon himself to learn. He was a bit of a shy kid but playing helped him out of his shell, finding support and making friends along the way. He gravitated toward his current expressions of blues, roots, and Americana and formed Sean Riley and the Water. While Manhattan venues started disappearing, he joined the migration to the underground venues and house shows playing funky rock, indie, and blues in clubs in Brooklyn. He enjoys the feeling he gets from performing live and has chosen to capture his recordings in that manner. His new album, Stone Cold Hands, is coming out March 8th.

    Kirk Windstein Pt. 2

    Kirk Windstein Pt. 2

    "Leave your ego at the door", is Kirk's opening discussion in part two. It's what empowers the creative process for his bands like Crowbar, Down, and EyeAm. He talks about how juggling multiple projects is a comfort zone of sorts for him. His solo project (2nd album complete now) is even a separate voice from the others. Creating is more meaningful to him than social engagements. Listen in as we dive deeper into his world.

    Kirk Windstein Pt. 1

    Kirk Windstein Pt. 1

    Born in Middlesex, England, Kirk Windstein came to settle in River Ridge, Louisiana as a young child. He has since come to establish himself as a keystone in the southern metal genres, signifying an unstoppable force in bands like Crowbar, Down, EyeAm, and Kingdom of Sorrow. We sit and talk about his experiences as a child that led him to music, his initial exploration in thrash playing with Mike Hatch, Jimmy Bauer, and Mike Savoy in Shell Shock, and a few choice words of advice from his father that he holds dear. There's so much packed into this one. I do hope you enjoy!
