Kasey Anderson is a singer and songwriter from Portland, OR, whose latest record To The Places We Lived is one of my favorites of the year and maybe my favorite thing he has done.

BJ Barham is the creative force behind one of my all time favorite bands American Aquarium. BJ was on my short list of dream guests when I started this thing back in 2016 and I was thrilled that he agreed to be my very first Marinade guest! American Aquarium released perhaps my favorite of their albums The Fear of Standing Still earlier this year. BJ is a man who is dedicated to his craft and each album showcases the growth he and his band have attained. He is an inspiration and I am honored to have gotten to know him a little over the years.

Amythyst Kiah is a Grammy-nominated songwriter whose Butch Walker produced record Still and Bright is one of my favorites of 2024.

Daryl Hance is a songwriter and guitar player from Duval County, Florida, whose music has been in my life for over twenty years. I first learned of Daryl during his time with the band Mofro, now J.J. Grey and Mofro. He hasn't been with that band for a while and since gone on to carve a handful of wonderful solo records. I've long said his guitar playing is like a fingerprint. Maybe it's the Florida boy in me. Maybe it's the country boy in me. That swampy sound so few can capture with authenticity is hyper-present in Daryl's work and I am ready for more and more. Daryl's latest record is called "Devil's Millhopper," it is available wherever you consume music, and you can buy a digital copy on bandcamp.com.

John Moreland is our guest for Episode 175! I started listening to his music with 2013's In The Throes and have been a huge fan ever since. He is a generational writer and his latest record Visitor may be the best example of that fact.

After writing 1000 songs and recording several albums in solitude, Chris Robeson has finally released his debut album Euphoriphobia and it is outstanding. I love when a record has one foot in the world of singer songwriters and the other planted among indie rock giants. That's what Euphoriphobia does. My conversation with Chris is about overcoming mental blocks, processing tragedy and fear, the craft of songwriting, and so much more!

Rich Ruth is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music blends elements of doom, stoner, drone rock into spiritual jazz. He has toured with S.G. Goodman and Circles Around the Sun and played with a murderers row of incredible collaborators. But it's his latest record Water Still Flows that has a stranglehold on my attention lately. Y'all, I understandably get pigeonholed as an Americana fan. But I love stoner rock and jazz and so many genres. Every so often a record like this comes along and blows my mind.

Boulevards is the nom de plume of Jamil Rashad whose latest record Carolina Funk: Barn Burner on Tobacco Road is among my favorites of the year. As Jamil puts it, "He did not want to be a carbon copy and make the same record as my favorite influences growing up. The objective was to make a record that was creative, raw, infectious, syncopated basslines, tight drums, punchy horns that brings a soulful element to the funk." Objective accomplished. This is as fresh and interesting a record as I have heard in a long time.

Milky Chance (Philipp Dausch and Clemens Rehbein) is our guest for Episode 170 of The Marinade. Milky Chance is a chart-topping, genre defying band from Germany whose debut single "Stolen Dance" made them a household name back in 2013.

Drayton Farley is a singer and songwriter from Alabama whose most recent record Twenty On High continues to be a favorite of Marinators everywhere.

In addition to bringing you interviews and reports from the festivals, I am using this time as a personal reset.

Joe Pug is our guest for the second time. Joe is a revered singer, songwriter, and podcaster from Greenbelt, Maryland. He has been releasing music since 2009's classic record Nation of Heat, which was about the time his work came into my life when he opened for the legendary Steve Earle. His latest record Sketch of a Promised Departure will be released on March 3, 2024. The first time we talked was a remote conversation back in 2021. This time we got to sit down with Joe backstage ahead of his show at Tuffy's Music Box in Sanford, FL. The wonderful songwriter and friend of the show Michael McArthur opened with Josh Davis on guitar. The atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful and I am so grateful to bring you this episode. Everyone, it is my great honor to bring you the return of Joe Pug. Follow all things Joe Pug at: https://joepugmusic.com/ Support The Marinade on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/marinadepodcast

Jaimee Harris is a singer and songwriter from Waco, Texas, who is one of my new favorite artists. Her debut full length record Red Rescue was released in 2018 to well deserved high praise. For whatever reason, that album snuck by my ears, but her follow up Boomerang Town, which came out last year got its hooks in me on the first listen. As fate would have it, Jaimee was on tour with the legendary Mary Gauthier at that very moment and the tour was stopping just down the road. Thankfully, Jaimee agree to sit down with us at Gram Parson's Derry Down in Winter Haven, FL, earlier this month for a delightful conversation about writing, teaching, her incredible new record Boomerang Town, and of course, pinball. The Marinade is a free-flowing conversation about the creative process with creative people.
