    Stagedive -Episode 17 - Damien Jurado

    Damien Jurado is an incredibly heartfelt, sincere singer-songwriter who has crafted more than 12 albums in his long career.

Check out Damien's latest album, Maraqopa, at http://damienjurado.com. It's whimsical and revelatory and magical. This episode was produced by Julia DeWitt and Stephanie Foo with mixing help from Renzo Gorrio.

    Stagedive -14- Paul Sanchez

    Paul Sanchez had been a reveling singer and songwriter for decades--it was his entire life. But when tragedy struck the one thing he loved more than his music, he realized that his performing days were numbered. Most of the music in this piece was by Paul Sanchez, including songs from the musical he is currently working on, Nine Lives. It's a musical about the history of New Orleans between hurricanes Isaac and Katrina--you can hear it on Spotify already, so definitely listen. And thanks so much to Snap Judgment, who originally aired this story.

    Stagedive -13- Beats Antique

    Beats Antique kinda sounds like if personifications of the world's traditional music all got high and went clubbing together--a blend of Middle-Eastern, Balkan, African and American jams. Drummer Tommy Cappel tells a story of how he came to play Balkan music. His tale is set in the famous Guča Festival in Serbia, where his crazy, sexy Extra Action Marching Band came up against the world's best brass bands.

    Stagedive -10- Garbage's Butch Vig

    Butch Vig is a legendary producer. You might have heard of his work--Nirvana's Nevermind, maybe? He's also the drummer for Garbage, one of the most prolific and recognized rock bands of all time. So Butch has performed a lot--over 1,000 shows, all counted. But his most memorable show of all was in Serbia. In a castle. Surrounded by zombies. All the music in this piece was by Garbage. Listen to their latest album, Not Your Kind of People. It is catchy and it kills. Thanks so much to Butch and the band!
