This week we sat with trumpet player, singer and songwriter Ruth Nichols AKA RuthTrumpets AKA Mahealane. We talked about the band Low Poly Cactus that she co-leads with her partner Adam Rochelle, being a burner, working for the Clare Fisher Estate, and the instability that can come along with being a musician in these tumultuous times. We also guess a beverage on the debut of our new "Beverage Segment." It was a blast, check it out...

This weeks guest is singer and artist Maurice Smith! From his original Delta Soul project to session and live work with Beyonce and so much more, Maurice is a Grammy nominated artist and one of the most fun performers I’ve had a chance to work with. We sat down and talked about his influences, the Chicago/Mississippi connection, growing up in a family of nine kids, and the beautiful imperfection of live performance and being in the...

This week our guest is guitarist Dylan Gorenberg, and boy do we get into it! Dylan was forthcoming about his struggles with food, his journey through academia and his struggles with remaining creative during challenging times. Our conversation was vulnerable and insightful, and I'm glad he was able to come and shed some insight on a subject we haven't had much chance to explore yet on the podcast! Plus the debut of the College Musi...

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Miss Tina Hughes (IG @misstinahughes)- guitarist bassist and songwriter extraordinaire.

What a ride the last few months have been! I wanted to look back at all the great things I've gotten to experience by talking to people on One Leg, and how grateful I am for what I've learned so far. I also want to talk a bit about what it means to be in 'recovery' and how ultimately, my primary objective is to help people gather tools for themselves based on the wisdom of folks who work really hard and are willing ...

Enjoy this week’s conversation with Dr. Dylan Caligiuri! Certainly a wild ride, and I learned a lot. From our shared experiences both being graduates of the USC Thornton DMA program, guitarists in the city of LA and beyond, and other particularities we have in common, we had a lot to discuss and I found it interesting to see where he and I differed in terms of how he operates professionally and what he prioritizes to achieve his go...

This week I had the honor of sitting down with Long Beach based artist and absolute force of nature, Calinnah! We discussed how she juggles her time between her career as an artist, a content creator, and a full time nurse, somehow managing to fit more in a day than anyone would have thought possible. Calinnah manages to stay positive despite the challenges, and lets me in on some of the tools she leans on to keep things moving tow...

On this very special episode we are treated to the background and insights of Zephyr Avalon! I have always thought very highly of Zephyr and am lucky to be able to call him a friend, so it was a treat to get to interview him for the podcast. We discuss his background growing up in the SF Bay area, how he got into music, his love of Steely Dan, and a whole lot more.One Leg At A Time is updated weekly and is available on Spotify, You...

I am very excited to present my first full length interview featuring none other than a wonderful friend, international superstar and all around great human, Harry Terrell!

From making bagels to writing fantastic songs, there seems to be nothing Harry can't do. We start out reminiscing about New York City (fond memories of BandH deli,) talk about music, talk about life and health and wealth and relationships and everything in betw...
