Interview: The Silent Comedy talk whiskey revival, Dave Mathews, Incubus and hot sauce
I went to see ZZ Ward in Tampa at The Ritz a couple of weeks ago. I was very excited to see her perform in person and was curious about the opening band The Silent Comedy that was doing this leg of the tour with her. Can I just say WOW? They were utterly, holy amazing! Their energy tangibly charged up the room by the first song. People were smiling and clapping and looking at each other incredulously by the 3rd song. Everyone was thinking: Why aren’t these guys totally famous?
By the last song the audience felt connected like old comrade drinking buddies, raising our cups to God and the fleetingness of life and the joy of feeling music that is honest and unapologetic.
I was first in line at the merch table after the show and immediately asked the guys for an interview (after I bought a t-shirt and had them all sign my CD). Jeremiah responded enthusiastically and gave me their card. The awesome interview with Joshua follows.

Interview with Brooklyn’s French Horn Rebellion-Creative Brothers pioneer new genre ‘Next Jack Swing’
I had the pleasure of meeting the rambunctiously fun and light hearted brother duo French Horn Rebellion when my band (Waking Giants) was playing the Harvey Milk Festival in Sarasota, Fl. I was also one of the the stage managers for the event so I got a chance to hang out with them the night before at a private meet and greet party and back stage all day at the festival.
This time I got to spend with the guys planted the seed for the interview below, as I found them both to be very open and engaged with everyone they met, despite their A-list STAR power.
BREAKING NEWS: FHR just dropped their hot new release “Dancing Out (Featuring Jody Watley & Young Empires).
French Horn Rebellion (www.frenchhornrebellion.com) are Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, two brothers born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. In 2007, younger brother Robert was playing French horn in the Chicago Civic Orchestra, and decided to make hot beats instead. After telling the conductor Continue reading “Interview with Brooklyn’s French Horn Rebellion-Creative Brothers pioneer new genre ‘Next Jack Swing’” »
HuDost review and new video skillz!
I was blessed to attend and film HuDost’s concert at Rising Tide International on April 20, 2013 (www.HuDost.com). I really wanted to capture some video to share here with everyone (see below), as reading a review just isn’t the same as catching a glimpse of the live experience through video. I also got to learn new video editing skills (yay!) and I am really excited to be pushing my creativity in new directions! The possibilites are endless and very exciting!
HuDost was joined on stage by vocalist Stephanie Heidemann (www.stephanieheidemann.com) and Julian Douglas (http://juliandouglas.com) on percussion. I was able to get a good shot of each of them for this montage below. Clockwise below: Moksha Sommer, Jemal Wade Hines, Stephanie Heidemann and Julian Douglas.
The show was an amazing intimate evening of friends and like minded spiritual seekers and Continue reading “HuDost review and new video skillz!” »
Hudost Interview- 4th Way Folk
My friends of the band Hudost asked me to do an interview with them about their current album release (4th Way Folk) and “In Utero” tour.
I had interviewed them in 2010 for Sarasota Music Scene (read here) and relished the chance to submerse myself into their new creative project. Since they are the reason and inspiration to start this blog (read here), I am excited beyond words to give you a glimpse into their amazing lives. Click on the album cover below to buy & listen to the music on Band Camp while you read the interview.
They will be stopping here in Sarasota at Rising Tide International- April 20. Get tickets and info here.
