Concert Cast: Rockumentary Podcasts Exploring Concert Culture

Join Kyle for a backstage tour of the historic Orpheum Theatre, where she uncovers wild tales from its storied past—like the unforgettable night Umphrey’s McGee rocked so hard they blew out the lights. Just a block away, the legendary Hotel Monte Vista becomes her home base (and yes, they offer discounted long-term rates).

During her stay in the Michael Stipe and Bing Crosby rooms, Kyle connects with Lindsay, a local artist and front desk clerk, who spills captivating stories about visiting music legends and spine-tingling ghost encounters—especially from the infamous Meat Man room.

When it’s time to hit the road, Kyle leaves with a deeper sonic kinship to this mystical town—and chances are, after listening and maybe even visiting Flagstaff yourself, you might feel the same.

A "Wild" Band Interview with 76th Street

"Wild" is a 6-song musical journey featuring everything from a heart-pounding love song dedicated to Nashville's hottest queer bar to what might be the most joyful and liberating break-up song you'll ever hear. The album peaks with a homage to gay musicians who inspired the band, evolving into its own queer anthem guaranteed to get you dancing and leave you humming, "I think that I just got more gay."

Kyle's bond with the band dates back to 2021 when she chronicled the sonic soul sisters' Nashville debut in a rockumentary podcast, capturing the besties as they performed, rehearsed, and prepped for shows. This follow-up video podcast offers a glimpse into the band's musical evolution as both artists and humans. While their lyrics now embrace same-sex pronouns, 76th Street's core message remains unwavering: strength, independence, and radical self-love. Their friendship has also evolved, now bearing a new title: platonic wives!
