Formerly The Para OR Normal Guyz, "The Sportcat Show" delivers another thrilling episode of music and stories! As always, we’ll ask our guests about any paranormal experiences or Bigfoot sightings!


Virginia’s Mike Matney blends blues, funk, hard rock, and heavy metal into a must-hear sound. A singer, guitarist, and songwriter, he’s collaborated with rock giants, drawing inspiration from Billy Gibbons and Robin Trower. From a life-changing basement jam at eight to replacing Ron Keel in Tabu, Matney’s journey led to Nashville, mingling with icons like Adrian Belew. His 1980 album with White Boy and The Average Rat Band, now a $1,000+ collectible, was reissued in 2023 by Riding Easy Records. He played with David Allan Coe and earned music degrees. Now, with multi-platinum producer Stevie Salas (Rolling Stone’s Top 50 Guitarists), Matney’s new band is recording a game-changing album in Austin. Hear his story and what’s next!


Next up, Canadian bassist/vocalist John "Fogman" Burkitt co-founded Zed Head, the "great white north's" southern boogie rock powerhouse. Known for high-energy shows, they’ve headlined festivals globally and earned a “Band of the Year” nod alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd. Burkitt’s ripping bass and lyrics shine in Zed Head’s 2024 album Shiny Things. With music on Outlaw Bikers and Bike TV, their sound, inspired by Texas blues, is unforgettable. Tune in for Burkitt’s journey and Zed Head’s northern grit!
