Their brand of Rootsy, Southern-Soul tinged Rock-n-Roll, combines; classic blues riffs, gospel harmonies, and funk breakdowns, with keen musicality, to unashamedly display their era of influences.

Today’s Guest: The Breaklites After many years of recording and playing music separately, John McRae (Guitarist/Producer) & Cruel (MC) decided to join forces and craft an EP. During the process of recording the EP, a name for the group was coined…The BreakLites. After a phone call to a local DJ and good friend Craig Vialle, The BreakLites had a DJ. Following the release of the first EP New Dogs, Old Tricks the guys immediately returned to the studio, and popped out a few months later with their debut full length record à Pack Your Bags. After a few months of playing clubs, bars, and house parties around the Northwest in support of the new record, The BreakLites took no break, and went right back to recording a new album titled Robots and Daytons. Deciding to move away from their traditional bluesy, boom-bap, hip hop sound for this project, The BreakLites made the record with summer in mind. Creating a unique blend of up-tempo, electro-pop beats with John’s funk inspired guitar, and Cruels high-energy flow, The BreakLites created a record that lacks nothing but ordinary. …and TODAY, they are sharing [...]

Legendary Guitar Hero Steve Lynch In The Aquarium!

mikerenville — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:56:42 +0000

Today’s guest had a profound influence on rock guitar playing in the 80’s! Known by many guitarists as the “two handed guitarist,” he was an innovator of the hammer-on method… as well as many other advanced techniques. Originally a bass player, he moved onto guitar the actual day that Jimmy Hendrix passed on…September 18th, 1970. At the ripe young age of fifteen, he started emulating Harvey Mandel’s technique and began studying theory and jazz under Don Mock. Subsequently, Mock moved to LA and founded GIT. Today’s guest was one of the first students to graduate from GIT along with Jennifer Batten…who, by the way, SWEARS by our guests technique. Our guest’s technique was born in 1978 and was referred to as the “two handed tapping technique.” Working with greats like Greg Lake of ELP and Savoy Brown…among with many others, he won the guitarist of the year in 1983. In 1984, he began jamming with a group of other talented musicians. While jogging one day, David Lee Roth heard their music and insisted that they open for Van Halen on their up coming tour. With no name, the group had to come up with one on the fly…hence, AUTOGRAPH! [...]

Our singer songwriter guest today said this…QUOTE “I just have this endless desire to write an earworm of a melody and lace it with compelling lyrics. If I can write something that moves me then there’s a chance that it might do the same for someone else and that’s what I’m after.” END QUOTE L.A.’s Music Connection Magazine offered up a favorable review of this artists debut record “Miles and Minutes,” referring to him as a “confident and assured recording artist” whose music is “earnest and soul searching with a high production value.” That same value landed one of his original tunes, “Good For Something” a placement in an episode of a primetime television show on ABC. With distinct vocals, soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics….his live shows keep you entertained with a confident stage presence that combines the right mix of honest sincerity and comedic banter. Most shows for Nick revolve around just a mic and an acoustic guitar with the exception of some of the larger venues for which he calls upon some of the same talented musicians who accompanied him on his record. Another Quote… “The intimacy of just an acoustic guitar and a raw vocal is [...]

Singer Songwriter Derek Sivers (Founder Of Cd Baby) In The Aquarium!

mikerenville — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:03:44 +0000

Our Singer Songwriter guest today is best known as the founder of CD Baby, but more recently for his TED talks and articles at DerekSivers.org. He’s a passionate learner and experimenter. Driven to understand life better, and share what he learns. He judges himself by how much useful stuff he creates. An interesting side note….Tests say he’s I.N.T.J.….an acronym for introversion, intuition, thinking and judgment. INTJs are, actually, one of the rarest of the sixteen personality types, and account for only about 1–4% of the population! A professional musician (and circus clown) since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients. After he won the 2003 World Technology Award, Esquire Magazine’s annual “Best and Brightest“ cover story said, “Derek Sivers is changing the way music is bought and sold… one of the last music-business folk heroes.” In 2008, he sold CD Baby to focus on his new ventures to benefit musicians, including [...]

Everyday Jones In The Aquarium!

mikerenville — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 03:17:11 +0000

It is NO WONDER that our singer songwriter guests today have been satisfying crowds in clubs, bars and coffee houses around the Northwest. The lead singer, Alissa Jandt, is a classically trained vocalist with a decade of conditioning under her belt, while guitarist Jason Green comes from a family of musicians and has been playing since the age of fifteen. Everything about this duo is versatile from the way Allisa’s vocals float off the surface of Jason’s guitar lines, to the way in which the accompaniment loops around itself making Jason’s one guitar sound like a room full of players. It takes attentive precision to create decent polyphony using a guitar and a few pedals. But Jason has mastered this art, and accessorizes the duo’s shows using absolutely no pre-recorded tracks. Everything this duo does onstage is completely live and in the moment. With the release of their first CD “Here I Am,” Alissa and Jason have entered the realm of serious artists…distinguishing themselves from the throngs of other coffee shop acoustic duos. They claim to have been influenced by bands from the Beatles [...]
