Liz Longley - Singer Songwriter (Funeral for My Past / New Life)
Liz Longley Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Nashville based artist Liz Longley. In this episode, Liz and I chat about her being born & raised in Pennsylvania, not far from where Taylor grew up, and how there MUST be something in the water in that area! Then we get into some of the reasons behind her attending; as well as some of the thigs that she learned at The Berkley School of Music. We touch very briefly on her similarly brief NYC residence, before she packed her guitar and her song book, and headed for the much more apt Nashville. Of course, I get her to explain a musical concept that I only recently learned about, and it turns out that it is her favorite musicology term! Then we talk about her music. Liz has released SEVEN albums! I pepper her with questions about some of my favorites of her work, and the meaning behind them. Naturally, I ask her about her two Kickstarter campaigns. In 2012, Liz launched a Kickstarter campaign designed to help her finance a studio album. By the end of the campaign, she has raised 157% of her goal. The resulting record that she made, landed her a record deal with Sugar Hill Records! We discuss a bit of her time at that record company, and how her exit from it transpired. Sadly, when she left the record company, they had received & shelved her latest album. So, she turned once again, to her backers at Kickstarter. Her 2020 Kickstarter campaign had a goal to raise enough funds to PURCHASE the finished album from the record company. The campaign met the stated goal in the first 24 hours and went on to raise 333% of the financial goal; making that one of the biggest musician campaigns ever funded on the platform. She used the extra funds to create TWO more records! Liz was a blast to chat with, and she even let me play two of her songs that I absolutely love. PLUS, we get together to come up with an amazing offer for the listeners of this episode. Liz will send every listener a FREE CD EP (just pay shipping)! Click the link below to get that FREE CD! Make sure you follow her on all of the social medias, and check her website for tour dates near you. At the time of this recording, Liz was about 8.75 months pregnant with her second child. That baby was born less than 2 weeks ago! Congratulations Liz and welcome Connor to the world! Link to FREE CD (Just pay shipping) https://www.lizlongley.com/fsh-sale-1

Lew Apollo - Neo Soul Singer / Songwriter (Fool's Gold)
Lew Apollo Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Minnesota / Austin musician Lew Apollo. In this episode, Lew and I chat about his growing up in Minnesota, and what made him decide to move to Austin, Texas. Naturally, I ask him about his tattoos, and what they mean. Then we move onto a good ol' Texas burger slap fight! Lew and I go round and round, /1/4 pound for 1/4 pound about who has the best fast-food burger in South Texas; Whataburger or P. Terry's. Then we get into his music. Lew's new debut album is called Fool's Gold, and is a 9-track journey through heartache, acceptance, and finally contentment. We discuss a few of the tracks individually, and he even lets me play his most talked about song from this record. Lew does talk about learning from and being mentored by Austin local legend Blk Odyssy. We touch a bit on Lew's previous E.P. called Jungle, and what that title means to him. Sadly, we do discuss some rough subject matter related to his father's passing, and how this tragedy reframed the feeling and meaning of some of the songs he wrote before the event. Lew Apollo has a unique, original sound, and I can't stop playing his music in my house! Special shout out to Victor Gaspar, Orb Studios, and Rey Roldan at Rey Bee Publicity.

Phil Rossi Returns! - O.G. Podcaster (Crescent / Harvey / Don't Turn Around)
Phil Rossi Returns! Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about Phil Rossi, as he and I catch since his last appearance 7 years ago. Phil is one of the ORIGINAL podcasters. He first started podcasting his unpublished speculative fiction novels twenty years ago! In this episode, I fanboy out a little bit as Phil is on the Mount Rushmore of podcasting in my opinion. Then we move on to discuss his first ever novel 'Crescent' and why he is re-releasing it with a few changes. Next he spills the beans that he is also working on a sequel to Crescent! A few years ago, Phil started a podcast called Don't Turn Around; which focuses on the scary and the paranormal in our everyday lives. So we talk a bit about that and why he started it. More recently, Phil started another podcast called It Came From The Web, where he introduces and comments on paranormal videos and sightings that he finds on the internet. Then, He teamed up with fellow old scool podcasters Tee Morris and Philippa Balentine to form Old Spirits Investigations; a YouTube show where these three investigators are exploring purported haunted areas. So, we discuss all three of these shows, why they got started, and what the listener or viewer can expect from these shows. Phil even shares some personal stories of spooky and unexplainable events that happened in his own life. Make sure you check out the 2 audio podcasts, as we as the video podcast on YouTube. Phil, Tee, and Philippa are the bee's knees!!!
