The ease at which Wilby produces music that is both familiar and brand new; as well as incredibly catchy and addictive is a joy to experience.

Tonight we take a moment to reflect, remember and honor some musicians that left us too early.  Recently I learned of Christine Havrilla's passing after a battle with cancer.  And I was struck by this news and the fact that she was on my list to reach out to about possibly coming on this show.  I was saddened that I had not done that sooner and now missed the opportunity.

And I remembered others who also left us too s...

Get ready for the stylings of Zoe (like Joe, not Zoey) Lemon.  She'a a violinist, songwriter, and terrible cook (her words, not mine) with music that is introspective, with layered strings, delicate drums, and warm vocals.

Her debut EP, Tailspin, was featured on WXPN, WKDU, and NPR. I recorded my second EP in 2024 with Nashville-based producer Thad Kopec and it will be released this June.

Zoe has such a uniqu...

When I hear the music of Galen Deery, I would not be surprised if there were 12-28 musicians on stage, including stilt walkers and exotic animals joining in the vibe.  However, the reality is that this is all created by Galen, and the Reason Why 4-piece.  A testament to their layering and musicianship.

With brand new music off the brilliant album ESA, there's so much to take in from Galen Deery.  His prior catalog is ...
