Your Next Favorite Band

Ready for some brand new, ethereal, emotional, multi-layered music that makes you feel like you're taking a long drive up the coast??  Well then you'll love Windser. 

Join us as we dive in to the full catalog, including the typical dive in to the early inspo growing up in Santa Cruz, CA, how he wanted to play like Hendrix and was surprised to become the lead singer, a flip to NYC where he started Mainland, and th...

Tune in as we triple collabo once again (now a semi-annual tradition) to discuss this summer's music festivals and concerts that are sure fire ways to find your next favorite band and shout to the world "yo...that's my jawn!"

As is customary, I will be joined by Nate Runkel from Yo! That's My Jawn and Dan Drago from 25 O'Clock Pod - who is now long distance, joining us all the way from Hong Ko...

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 ...

One of my favorite elements of having a guest on the show is when they perform live during the episode.  We pull together these exclusive performances and present them to you, calling them the NextFavBand Sessions.  This is the 7th such installment!

Live performances from prior episodes, including:

• Moustapha Noumbissi - “Stumble”
• Judah Kim - “Confetti”
• Wila Frank - “All I Know Of You”
• Gangstagrass - “All For One”
• The American Hotel S...

Could you ever imagine collaborating on a large scale with someone you've never met in-person?  And now make that collaborating on music together?  Well that is exactly what this week's guests are pulling off, and quite well I must say.

Caitlin Sigler and Robert Goldbach have forged a unique musical connection that transcends borders and defies geographical limitations. It all started when Robert, based in Berlin...

Join us as we get everyone ready for the 3rd Annual No Planet B Jamboree!  We'll share music from all 3 performers on the line-up and some additional "sunny" tracks in hopes to root on some lovely weather for the event.

We will also have some great guests, including:

• Aims Koh from The Running Kind

We've got some unapologetic lady-power Americana!  We saw The Flying Vees open for a band down in Philly and we were hooked within half a song.  Tight harmonies, filthy guitar, and killer keys made for a set that left us wanting more.

The Flying Vees are a bonafide supergroup composed of four seasoned musicians of varied backgrounds. Brechyn Chace (vocals), Shannon Vasile (vocals), Caitlin Ramsey (keys) and Hannah Tay...

We had the honor of being able to sit and "talk at the Diner" with Philly music legend - John Kim Faye!  In addition to being an incredible songwriter and musician, John's wildly funny and an amazing storyteller.

With a career that spans 3-4 decades - including successful runs with The Caulfields, IKE, John Faye Power Trip, John & Brittany and now his solo efforts, most recently the album The Long Game, ...

We were excited to learn about Damn Tall Buildings heading in to last year's Musikfest, and they more than exceeded expectations - becoming our "Best of the Fest" and fav find from the line-up.  We were then thrilled when they also agreed to come on the show.

The fiddle player Avery Ballotta joined us in-person on their home turf of Brooklyn, NY.  Known as "Montana" as he's originally from Boz...

He is best known for being a founding member of the band Echolyn, and long standing member of Grey Eye Glances.

We'll spend time exploring all 3 of those projects - the solo stuff, GEG and the amazing prog...

Time to get ready for the Listen to the Dissonance shows happening on Fri 2/28 and Sat 3/1!  In this episode we will share music from each artist, provide info about each of the incredible organizations who'll be at the events, and we will dive in to interviews with amazing human beings.

We'll also spend some time admiring the incredible poster design by Marissa Paternoster.

The interviews are highlights...

Ever want to know what it sounds like to go vintage shopping with a friend who spills all the details about their shitty ex in a distinctive mid-range vibrato?  Well this is the episode for you!

Come join as we spend time with Portland, OR based, singer/songwriter Kendall Lujan.  Her music grabbed my ears from the first time I heard it, and I've had it on heavy rotation ever since.  Extremely fresh and new take on thi...

This week we are in for a special treat as we "hop across the pond" and land in Dundee, Scotland to connect with innovative songwriter, composer and producer Theo Bleak, whose music resonates with a profound sense of place and reflection, somehow achieving a sound that is equally familiar and unfamiliar, nostalgic and yet completely new.

With each note, she weaves a sonic tapestry that captures the beauty and com...

The exciting supergroup Fantastic Cat is so great, we're featuring an episode on each one of it's members.  So with this endeavor, you get 5 nextfavbands!  You're welcome!  They are all that good - trust us.

Our second Cat is Brian Dunne, who is not your grandma’s antiseptic, pseudo baby boomer singer songwriter. Known for his laugh-to-keep-from-crying, darkly humorous lyrics, Dunne’s work reconfigures the l...

This week we jump back to the 1990s to hear the story of The JudyBats with frontman Jeff Heiskell.  This band has an incredible catalog and they reached the charts so you will probably recall a track or two of theirs if you were in your teens or 20s at that time.  Or you might be a raving fan and can't wait to hear more about them.  And if you don't know their music at all, well...I'm kinda jealous, because you'...
