KNOW GOOD MUSIC Interviews LAURIE KAYE
Laurie wrote a great book called "CONFESSIONS OF A ROCK N' ROLL NAME DROPPER : My life leading up to John Lennon's Last Interview.
We talk to Laurie about her career in radio with the RKO NETWORK (KFRC) in the 7o's and some of the people she interviewed like David Bowie, Mick Jagger, George Harrison and of course, John Lennon who she interviewed on Dec 8th, 1980 at the Dakota hours before he was murdered.
Her book is a great look into the 70s and how she got to experience some great concerts and encounters with Rock Legends first hand.
Matt and Rob read the book and loved it! Loved how Laurie incorperated the dialogue from her interviews into the book (the audio version has excerpts from the actual interviews)
*****ABOUT THE BOOK and LAURIE Rock reporter Laurie Kaye interviewed John Lennon just hours before he was murdered in 1980 outside New York's famous Dakota apartments and even ran into his assassin (whom she refuses to cite by name) on the street outside, and here she recounts the story of that fateful night, the centerpiece of this memoir about the life of a SoCal girl with a troubled childhood who got to live out her dream by interviewing many of the most famous rock stars of the time.
Name dropping? Well, they say it ain’t bragging if you really did it and Laurie Kaye has really done it. These stories about so many culturally important people are exciting and illuminating. I read this book with pleasure and amazement. I know that you will dig it, too!
On December 8, 1980, twenty-something rock journalist Laurie Kaye entered the legendary Dakota apartments on Manhattan’s Upper West Side to co-conduct an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was the last interview Lennon would ever give—just hours later, outside that same building, Lennon was shot dead by a twenty-five-year-old man (whom Kaye refuses to refer to by name) whom Kaye herself had encountered after finishing the interview and stepping outside onto the street. Kaye has beaten herself up ever since over her failure to recognize that the assassin—who blocked her path and harassed her with questions like “Did you talk to him?” “Did you get his autograph?”—posed a danger and should have been reported. Now, as we approach the forty-fifth anniversary of Lennon's death, Kaye reflects how she rose from teen runaway from a dysfunctional family to expatriate studying Balinese dancing in Indonesia to journalist, writer, and producer with credits including RKO Presents The Beatles/The Beatles from Liverpool to Legend (at the tender age of twenty-one) and the Lord of the Rings DVD release, plus interviews with such titans of the music industry as Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Talking Heads, The Ramones, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger, whom she put on hold so that he could listen to her newscast before getting down to business. But it was the day she shared a loveseat with John Lennon and watched him push his iconic granny glasses down the length of his nose and smile at her in agreement that remains indelibly etched in her mind—both the best and worst day of her life.
Laurie Kaye began her career in radio at KFRC-AM San Francisco, for years one of the nation’s greatest top 40 stations, where she started as an intern and worked her way up to on-air reporter and anchor. She wrote and coproduced numerous radio rock specials for RKO, including RKO Presents the Beatles (later expanded and retitled as The Beatles from Liverpool to Legend), and The Top 100 of the 70’s before moving on to write Dick Clark’s weekly radio countdown show and syndicated newspaper column. Kaye then moved on to television and film as a writer, producer, and casting director.
This book won a Writer’s Digest Award the year it was released - 4th place in the Memoir/Personal Essay category of their annual writing competition!

ANGELA PETRILLI Interview - LA Blues Guitarist

ANGELA PETRILLI Interview (with Matt & Rob)
Angela is an LA based guitarist who fronts her great band, "The Players"
They most recently released a live version of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" which will most certainly blow you away!
We talked to Angela about the Netflix documentary "Norman's Rare Guitars". Angela is part of the documentary and she's a big part of Norman's Guitars with her "guitar of the week" videos and also instructional videos teaching guitar players some of the songs she absolutely loves.
A new album is in the works from Angela Petrilli and the Players!
In this interview we talk about Norman's, Zeparella, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Incubus, Martin Guitar and of course.. Guitars!
*****A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ANGELA PETRILLI
Back in 2019 Angela lost her dear friend and bandmate Jennifer Pagliaro from stage 4 breast cancer. Angela was one half of the duo "Roses and Cigarettes" (with Jenny). That year they created some major buzz with their 3rd album "Echoes and Silence" and a tour in the works. On March 25th Rolling Stone named their song "Fast as I Can" as one of the 10 best country songs of the week.
But in a heartbreaking and tragic turn of events, Pagliaro—who had been fighting off cancer for years—passed away the very next day. She was just 35.
For the better part of a year, the grieving Petrilli put down her guitar, left L.A. behind and set out across the world. She traveled to Nashville, New York, Paris and Italy, eventually making it as far as Australia. Along the way, she spent a lot of time on the ocean, where she was able to find some peace and clarity. As she began to heal, she could feel her muse calling once again.
Finally back home in L.A., she reached out to some musician friends and booked a bar gig under the name The Petrilli Players. The idea was to shake off the cobwebs, play some covers and have a good time—and that’s exactly how it went down. With a reinvigorated sense of purpose, and a band of simpatico players—Brett Grossman on bass, Stephen Haaker on drums, Matt Lomeo on harmonica & backing vocals, Bobby Victor on keys, and Vic Vanacore III on percussion—Petrilli was inspired to start writing again. After several months playing shows around Los Angeles (including opening spots for Billy Bob Thornton & the Boxmasters, The Immediate Family, and a performance at Joe Bonamassa’s 3rd Annual Stream-a-thon concert), the new songs felt studio-ready, and Petrilli booked a session at Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Sound—the same hallowed ground that has hosted sessions by The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Van Halen, Ray LaMontagne and countless others.

INTERVIEW with KURT REIL of the GRIPWEEDS!
This is his 4th time he's been on the podcast and we talked about the Gripweeds new EP "Early Clues"
Kurt goes over each of the new 3 songs in detail.
We also talk about the writing process for the Gripweeds, a little bit about the new album (coming out this summer) and we even somehow mention Bon Jovi.
I always love talking to Kurt and I joked that next time it will be his 5th time on the podcast and I'll have to get him a 5 timers jacket (or tshirt).
Kurt is a good sport and always has to tolerate some of my stupid jokes.

Rob had the pleasure of interviewing Courtney Hadwin on Tuesday, Feb 17th.
You might remember Courtney from 2018's America's Got Talent?
She has since released some singles and a Christmas song (in 2024) and now she's releasing the first single "spellbound" off her debut album!
No word on when her full length album (of all new material) will be out but Rob did try to get some info out of her.. lol
If you've never heard of her you have to check her out. She's a powerhouse on vocals and at the age of 14 she got the golden buzzer from Howie Mandel on AGT! Her audition video got over 310 million views on YouTube!
*****A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COURTNEY HADWIN
Courtney is a British pop singer and songwriter who first captured international attention as a breakout star on NBC’s America’s Got Talent at only 13 years old. Her unforgettable audition went globally viral, racking up over 310 million views and instantly establishing her as a powerful new voice in music.
At 20, Courtney continues to astound audiences with her extraordinary vocals and unforgettably soulful performances, often prompting comparisons to the legendary Janis Joplin. Courtney’s musical journey began early; as a self-taught artist, she spent countless hours emulating idols such as Tina Turner, Etta James, and James Brown while developing a unique musical personality.
In recent years, Courtney has embraced independence as an artist, releasing several singles, including “Breakable,” “That Girl Don’t Live Here,” “Call Me Back” and “Monsters”, each showcasing the evolution of her sound. Working closely alongside Kevin Bowe, a renowned producer from Minneapolis, Courtney has forged a creative partnership that has empowered her to express herself with authenticity.
Currently, Courtney is in the final stages of recording her debut album. This highly anticipated project promises to blend a diverse set of genres, from pop and soul to blues and rock, all brought together by Courtney’s show-stopping vocal presence.
