Joel Daniel Shares His Music and Story. Recorded Sep 13th, 2019Fri, 09/13/2019 - 5:10pm | Pieter PastoorJoel Daniel - listen in now Joel is a longtime resident of Davis, California. In his twenties he started a band with his closest friends called Shayna and the Bulldog ("SatB") (https://shayna.bandcamp.com/), an Americana / Indie Rock band. They made two albums together and played hundreds of shows throughout the Western and Southwestern US. Somewhere along the way, Joel started a children's band called, The Hoots, (www.hootquarters.com). For this project, he's written four albums of material, won countless awards - including: a Parent's Choice Award - sold many records, and played hundreds of shows. Joel started producing an educational children's video series called, Hoot Quarters, starring an owl, who thinks he knows everything, but doesn't, and the The Hoots, who help said owl, Oliver, along the right path. Recently Joel started writing some new "grown up" music. In the summer of 2019 he started to play these songs out in public. They are the first songs he would consider to be solo songs - outside of The Hoots -that he has written and performed. He hopes to record them in the coming months and play them out in a more band oriented context in the near future. Social Links: https://www.facebook.com/joeldanielmusic |

Bad Mother Nature interview, Recorded Jun 21st, 2019Fri, 06/21/2019 - 5:10pm | Pieter PastoorKeep an eye out for these guys, even better, treat your ears to BAD MOTHER NATURE. Listen in as we talk with all four of the band members Bad Mother Nature, an original band formed in 2016, consists of guitarist/bassist duo Axel Ahrens and Corey Allred, pianist Ryan Allred, and drummer Jon McCann. Inspired by the classic rock titans of the 1960s and '70s, they balance driving guitar-riff work with the nuanced, progressive piano that allows their music to range from soft to rocking - often within the same song. Their debut EP “Strange Weather,” featuring Colin Curtin on drums, presented a range of styles from the upbeat blues-rock Honey Rider, to the instrumental guitar piece Persephone, to the anthemic ballad I’ll Make You a Thief. UK rock magazine Fireworks profiled the album and the band. |

What can I say; I LOVED THIS SHOW!
Additionally, I'll let you in on a secret, this was the first time that I listened to, not one, but two complete Rap songs -- and enjoyed them. :)
Loved the show and thoroughly enjoyed Cory. Tell him what Michael J Fox once said; "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business." He was excellent.
the October 3rd show was way too short. What a mellow and superbly classy hour that just blew by. Thanks!
