Live-In-Studio Interview, Performance & Album Preview on KTKE
Living in Truckee, California this January for some performance residencies has been an absolute blast. I’ve met tons of great folks, performed at some terrific venues, taken more than a few ski turns in the clean, clear, crisp, Sierra Nevada air, and have been welcomed with open arms from the local media. It’s truly been such a wonderful experience. Continuing the stoke, the folks at Truckee Tahoe Radio 101.5 FM KTKE invited me to join them on their “Local Lowdown” program this past Monday, January 12th, 2015 to talk music, Nashville, preview a few songs from my upcoming release, and play a live-in-studio song recently penned with friend and co-writer, Bob Rea.
If you’re in Lake Tahoe, you’ve got to tune in at 101.5 FM.
My hosts were the Kool-Aid Kid and Sir Funksalot – both serious music mavens and knowledgeable on all things music-related in the greater Lake Tahoe region. We had a blast, enjoyed a few laughs, and a hilarious moment when my pick flew across the room during the opening bars of my live-in-studio performance (Sir Funksalot managed to catch it and skillfully pass it back to me in between chords, mid-song). If you missed the show, you’re in luck: it was recorded and is now posted via SoundCloud here. If you click on the link, my song “I Save You” from my upcoming, full-band release will kick off the show. Later on in the program, the actual interview starts at around the 28-minute mark or so with a break for a preview of my song “It’s Alright”, and another break for a live performance of my song “Slow Down”, written with my good friend, Bob Rea.

HUGE THANKS to Truckee Tahoe Radio 101.5 FM KTKE for their hospitality and, of course, a big shout out goes to the Kool-Aid Kid and Sir Funksalot for putting it all together. I can’t wait to visit with them again when the new record finally drops! Until then, if you’re up in the greater Lake Tahoe area, be sure to check out my calendar listing of performances here and swing on by for some music. Take care, happy winter, and ski ya soon! Now, it’s off to another gig…
