Music On Your Own Terms 074 "The McGrath Project - LA Story"

Music On Your Own Terms 074 - The McGrath Project - LA Story
This episode I talk to three members of The McGrath Project, namesake Gary McGrath, Jonathan Moore and Jonathan McNary, a Fort Worth based band that is about to release a concept album influenced by albums such as Pink Floyd's The Wall, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Gary discusses moving to LA to learn studio engineering and becoming a session guitar player, touring with some big names from past decades, and returning to his hometown of Fort Worth to form a new version of the McGrath Project and record new music. We learn from both Jonathan's, about how they got started on their respective instruments, and the amount of dedication that has lead them to pursue a full time career in music.

Music On Your Own Terms 068 "Joe Messina – Politics, Porpoises, and Phallic Humor"

Music On Your Own Terms 068 - Joe Messina – Politics, Porpoises, and Phallic Humor
In this episode, we learn about the history of Boston based guitarist, comedian, podcaster, activist and teacher, Joe Messina. From growing up in a musical family and not wanting to follow the family business, to discovering comedy and wanting to become an aspiring writer, he was then diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Despite almost quitting music altogether, Joe found himself embracing music once again, teaches guitar and other instruments, and is about to release his new album Rageonomics. Joe also hosts a podcast that aims to provide a roadmap for those who feel frustrated with the slow and ineffective voting system, and want to do more in the way of direct action outside of sharing posts and signing petitions.
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. - Isaac Newton

Music On Your Own Terms 065 - The Mason Adams Project - Hillbilly Hippie Funk
In this impromptu discussion, I talk with The Mason Adams Project, a Dallas based band that fuses a plethora of influences and genres to create a southern tinged, alt rock band with a mandolin....or a hillbilly hippie funk band.....I guess you'll have to listen and make up your own mind! The guys talk about how they got into music, the interesting twists of fate that led them to get together as a band, and how they write the eclectic music that defines them. We also learn that Mason has only played guitar for 5 years, yet has managed to build this project to where it is today, how dedicated of a festival follower he is and also how he infuses music into education as a special education teacher. Sit back, relax, and join me as we head into the MAP jam room!

Music On Your Own Terms 064 "Isbjörg - Pianos, Prog And Hiding Toes"

Music On Your Own Terms 064 - Isbjörg - Pianos, Prog And Hiding Toes
I recently stumbled upon a cover video of a song by the amazing Australian band Toehider. Being floored by the musicianship of the guys playing the song, I had to check their band out, and was immediately hooked on their sound. Isbjörg are a piano driven prog band, based in Aarhus, Denmark, and the more I listen to their music, the more I feel I am going to become a superfan. The guys discuss the history of the band, how they write and talk about some innovative ways in which they have gained fans and won a spot playing a major Danish festival. We also hear about the culture of Denmark's live scene, how they overcame losing pivotal members of the band, and what the future holds once the COVID situation is over.

Music On Your Own Terms 063 “Storyteller - From The Darkness Into The Light”

Music On Your Own Terms 063 - Storyteller - From The Darkness Into The Light
Hailing mostly from the Dallas, Texas area, Storyteller are an eclectic sounding band in terms of where they fit genre-wise, but they are extremely focused on the message they portray both musically and lyrically. As you'll discover in one of the deepest interviews I have done thus far, the emotional connection that comes out of the band is undeniable. Having witnessed first hand the intensity that the band and in particular Justin the vocalist performs with, the art being produced is incredibly authentic. In this interview, we learn what drives the music, what the guys have been up to during the lock down, and how they are managing the band with a member living in a different state.

Music On Your Own Terms 061 "Remain Rocks!"

Music On Your Own Terms 061 - Remain Rocks!
About an hour drive north of Fort Worth, Texas, you'll find a college town called Denton that is home to a band by the name of Remain. I sat down with band leader and front-man Caleb Coonrod to talk about the band's inception, the impetus of signing on with management, and the challenges of trying to grow a band and release a new album during a pandemic. We discuss how Caleb got into music and started gaining a following at a bar in the middle of nowhere, his long-term goals for the band, and the importance of using your voice, not just to comment on the state of the world, but to hopefully change it for the better.
