EP #116 Telluride Blues and Brews Fest Vol 2: Sugar Harp

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 22:56:15 -0000

So for everything Telluride Blues and Brews make sure you check out the official website, and if you ever get the chance, go to the festival - Don't second guess, don't convince yourself you can't make it for whatever reason, just make it happed and I'll see you on the dance floor- at least one of them. For Volume 2 of this series we have another blues legend, Sugar Harp. He plays what he calls the, “down in the gutter, back alley, storytelling blues.” With a harmonica in his hands and a whole lotta feelin behind it. His music tells the stories of this life endured from Hanging with Jimi Hendrix to Woodstock to growing up poor is Alabama to playing today in place like Colorado on a picturesque campground stage that seems as if it's out of a movie. Me and Sugar Harp had this crazy convo on my phone in the likeness of Jerron Blind Boy Paxton and Fred Thomas- a guy who played in the James Brown band for over 30 years. This was an over whelming moment in life I am grateful I was able to capture a few moments of to share with ya'll. From Uber Eats to the Music Maker Foundation, enjoy the ride with Sugar Harp.

EP #115 Telluride Blues and Brews Fest Vol I: Mitch Woods

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 22:02:48 -0000

So this whole experience I'm about to share with you is really special to my heart. We have 3 episodes coming up that I got to record while at the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival 2021 last month. And ya'll know I used to live in Telluride Colorado and find it's where my soul is most at home. So I was over joyed when I got to collide my new life here in Cincy with Q102 and my former life in Colorado at the Festival, by recording some rad podcasts and meeting some legendary genre-shapers of our time. First here is Mitch Woods, he is a rock-a-boogie pianist who brings the freakin' heat wherever he goes. I have no idea how old this man is but I gotta tell ya, he has the energy of a 23yr old who just fell in love for the first time.

EP #108 The Heavy Hours Band

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 14:31:31 -0000

These Cincy born and bred musicians are taking us all by storm with their latest EP Wildfire which they co-wrote with Dan Auerbach NBD. But working with big name talent like Dan isn't anything new for these guys. Since day one they have been catching the attention of music industry big wigs and artists who have some grit in the game-showing them how to play big songs and make big music. I enjoyed the shit out of this interview/conversation and love their music just the same. As they head out on tour with St. Paul and the Broken Bells and a fresh track of songs to sink their teeth into I'd say we caught them at a pretty great time to be a Heavy Hour. Please enjoy John, AJ, and Mike (not interviewed was Flint) we'll see ya next time man. Listen here to the Wildfire EP

Did I meet an Alaskan reality TV star in the airport on my way to Alaska and did he make our trip incredible? You're goddamn right we did. And did I make him cry?

Person of Interest: Natalie and Ashley DRY IT UP- but how long will it last....lets find out

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 16:14:28 -0000

OK so this year, Ashley Dawn - my ride or die - and I have decided to dedicate every Thursday to weighing in our goals for this year. After the sh*t show of 2020 we decided to clean it up. I myself started smoking again and reached proper lush status- and while Ashley lost 30lbs and made major improvements-she is still not where she wants to be on many levels. SO we decided to make this time and this year - ours, together, and to share it with ya'll bc why not. Share your story and see what happens. Wish us luck and come on this wild ride we dont know whats going to happen either. ALSO .. I wish I could say we are appropriate for everyone but alas...we are not..we do have adult language and topics so keep that in mind while listening. Also, we are starting this off rough style..all we have right now are goals, and we are working at those and letting the rest fall into place. ENJOY and get in our DM's with any questions or comments. natalie@wkrq.com / @natjooones + ashley@b105.com / @ashley.on.air ----- CHEERS!!!

Shawn Braley and Chris Ashwell are the co-founders of Cincy Stories – a social i nitiative designed to connect communities through storytelling.

When we create empathy, we’re collectively more willing to listen to each other – which is especially important, in this era where we seem to be more tribal than ever. Listen to how Shawn and Chris are connecting communities through storytelling!
