In the studio this week with Bruce Blackman, lead singer from the iconic 70's band 'Starbuck' - talking about his music then and now - including his new single 'Jones About You'. Once you start listening to Bruce's story, you get the feeling this guy isn't slowing down for anything! We talk about how he met his college sweetheart (and the inspiration for the hit single 'Moonlight Feels Right') to his continued success on the Yacht Rock charts, the backstory on the members of his band and more. We also discuss songwriting, music charting and knowing why it's important for all talent to understand the music business as well. From his early days touring with the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), KC and The Sunshine Band and Boston; to a discussion about his memoir; the southern rock and disco music era, and his thoughts on music streaming, Bruce gives an entertaining interview about why his unique music journey feels right. Bring along your love of 70's tunes and join us.

Special thanks to our booth announcer Joe Szymanski for this interview!


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going. Settle into my swanky studio where drinks are on ice and the conversation starters are music + media - always a deal breaker for the rock and roll homemaker!

Listen to Donna every night starting at 9 on Houston Radio Platinum, along with a special program she hosts every Tuesday and Thursday night at 10 called 'Late Night Music Stories'.
