When you hear the sonic bath of an Alysha Brilla song, you are immediately tuned in to something special.  And if that is during a live performance, you are spellbound.  She writes such incredible melodies combined with lyrics that inspire and emote, and then set to instruments that open us up to all that is possible, and delivered with a gorgeous vocal.

I was honored to be able to invite Alysha on the show and to ...

I heard Eph See's song "Malachi the Uber Driver" listening to the NPR All Songs Considered podcast while i was mowing my lawn.  And just like Robin Hilton said as he set-up the song before playing it, I was struck by it so much that I stopped what I was doing and just ... listened.

Most often, our guests are musicians that I've seen play live, met them at the merch table, and invited them to come on the show.  So r...

I learned of Lydia von Hof this summer and was able to catch her performance at Musikfest - and she lit the stage on fire!  This songstress spans all the genres with a powerhouse voice and killer guitar chops.  And her songs are written so well with lyrics that are clever and powerful.  

You're gonna wanna for the ride on this episode, because in addition to the great music and the inspiring journey, Lydia als...

Carbon Leaf has an incredible trajectory to their journey - from forming in college, to exploding on to the scene, to signing with a label, to regaining their independence ... all while building an incredible following of loyal fans who love them.

I was introduced to them by my long time live music buddy John Getty, and finally got to see them perform in 2020.  Their music immediately grabs you sonically, and it not let...

First and foremost, Pepperwine is a groovy, funky, beachy vibe that is producing infectious music and puts on killer live shows.

But they are also some of the kindest, funniest and most supportive humans around.  They were the 4th ever interview I did, back when I was co-hosting episodes with George Wacker under Lehigh Valley with Love: Music.  They were also part of the first Holiday Spectacular, and then under th...

I've heard tracks from Love? said the Commander consistently on Dan Drago's 25 O'Clock Pod pretty regularly over the years.  And every time it always caught my ear, and tug at my emotions.  I suppose that's where the genre label "emo" truly comes from.

At some point, when I heard another one of their brilliant songs, I just said "alright, that's it.  I've gotta have them on the show".  And reached out to ...

I was able to see Disterbenz (the moniker of Gabrielle Sterbenz) perform live a few years back when she opened for Wheatus and was majorly impressed.  She has a powerful voice and a performance that includes looping of her vocals and guitar that really impresses.  And the songwriting is stellar - mostly Americana, but really a sound all her own.

You may already know that she is a member of Wheatus as a backing voca...

We had the great honor of spending time with Wheatus to learn all about how they achieve their iconic sound.

We had this awesome group of humans on 3 years ago to dive in to their backstory, and we did that on the sidewalk during Wayne Music Fest.  One of our fav episodes for sure!

We then hatched the idea to get back together during one of their concerts in Bethlehem to capture their load-in, sound check and per...

When we had Lia Menaker on back in October, we had out traditional episode format planned and ready, but a combination of some things going on in her life that were connected to her recent release "I'm Still Here" and a perfect synergy with guest co-host Galen Deery, we ended up just talking about things like heartbreak and hurt, and processing things.  

At about 32 mins in to that one, I realized the banter was just to...

One of the things we love the most on this show is when an artist grabs two (or more) genres and brings them together brilliantly and just turns your preconceived notions of what to expect in music on it's ear.  When we took a listen to Orillia for the first time, we knew we were on a ride down a new road and were going to enjoy every turn.

We're joined by frontman and songwriter Andrew Marczak and his collaborator, har...

There's a good chance you've seen Jacob Givens have a hilarious reaction to a killer track from the 90s, and if you haven't ... you should.

He's developed a series of videos that attempt to express what it was like to hear some of the iconic grunge music of the 1990s for the first time and how mind-blowing it was, and we'd never listen to music the same way after.

He also has a similar series of videos called Buried T...

We've been enjoying the music of KOSER for quite some time now, via Musikfest discovery and the Philly music scene.  Koser is the namesake of the band and is the frontwoman with powerhouse performance chops, and a brilliant flair for melody and finding that hook that has you coming back for more.

During last year's Musikfest Daily LIvestreams, the universe did its magic, by having the schedule bring on Koser along with ...

Early in the year 1976, a young musician was seeking a place to perform where people wanted to listen.  Frustrated by the spaces where you'd play to a crowd that was otherwise distracted, he sought to find and create an environment where the musician and the audience shared the room and the exchange of energy would be something special.

The owner of what was then the Lehigh Tavern (nowadays known as The Funhouse) mentio...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
