We had the pleasure of sitting down with Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene before his second of three sold-out shows at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA in February 2024. Joined by his wife, Kyle, who reveals some lesser-known stories and behind-the-scenes moments about their life together, Jackie muses about his musical journey, upcoming shows, side projects, being a father and his all time favorite passion he’d give up music to do full time. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his music, this episode offers a comprehensive glimpse into the life and art of Jackie Greene.

Special shout out to Nik Erickson at Full Moon Farms who Jackie credits for teaching him how to garden certain plants.

This episode is released right before his summer tour and a special appearance at a Music Heals International benefit back at the Sweetwater.

Elliott Peck, the beloved and multi-talented San Francisco Bay Area singer/songwriter/guitarist visits with host Dennis Strazulo before her sold out “In The Pines” EP Release Party at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. Elliott is both charming and authentic in sharing her thoughts and emotions before the show, while also reflecting on the path that led to her big moment, including her days “growing up” as a musician at Phil Lesh’s Terrapin Crossroads and her current experiences as a member of Midnight North. Elliott’s “Friends” lineup for the show reflected both this history and how she is admired by her musical colleagues. Fellow Midnight North band members Grahame Lesh and Nathan Graham join the show, along with Jason Crosby (via his patented "Tales From The Green Room “fly by”), Ross Eustis and Burt Lewis, to honor the incomparable Elliott. This episode is dedicated to the speedy recovery of Elliott, who endured a health crisis in early 2024, and is presented to spread the love and healing vibes she so richly deserves.

Wolf Jett founding members Jon Payne (drums) and Chris Jones (guitar/lead vocals) share their evolution from playing in their first band together (Scary Little Friends) leading to their soon-to-be released (March 8, 2024) second album, “Time Will Finally Come.” Their journey took an unexpected turn when they were hunkered down during COVID at Jon’s 3 acre property in the Santa Santa Cruz Mountains. Just days after construction of Jon’s dream studio was completed, his home on the property - and the studio - were destroyed by a massive lightning fire. Their story of inspiration and perseverance is a testament to the resiliency of these fine gentlemen - and is reflected in their soulful sounds dubbed as “Cosmic Mountain Music” emanating the joyful vibe of their folk, blues and americana inspirations.
