Roadcase Podcast

Welcome to Roadcase!!  Please welcome The Kernal, Joe Garner, to the Roadcase community. Joe's latest album, "Listen to the Blood," released January 14, is a very personal journey through the mind of this amazing artist whose modern take on country music is both heartfelt and wonderfully structured.  His album is a posthumous tribute to his Dad, who was a touring musician and played at the Grand Ole Opry for 30 years. Joe takes it to an even higher level by wearing his Dad's original blood-red suit on stage -- a striking and lovely tribute. Joe's heart also belongs on the road where he relishes the opportunity to portray his songs in a live setting, and where his gift for intimate storytelling -- honed at open mics and with a deep love of poetry -- truly comes alive. So climb aboard the Roadcase bus and learn more about the intelligent and compelling Joe Garner, The Kernal. Hold on tight... it's gonna be a great ride!!

Grace Bowers is on the show for Episode 250!! This amazing young artist has been enjoying a breakout year, having recently been featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live and made her Grand Ole Opry debut on her 18th birthday on July 30!! Her debut album, Wine on Venus, is out now, and she has spent the summer sitting in with luminaries such as Dolly Parton, Tyler Childers and Gary Clark, Jr., and has been a featured guest at numerous festivals across the country.

Grace talks to me about growing up as a shy kid in Northern California, having suffered bouts of anxiety, and how she was able to use her guitar skills as a means of expression in ways that surprised even herself. Having accomplished so much already, Grace tells me that it can be at times overwhelming, but at the same time, she has always expected this success of herself, but not perhaps as quickly as it has come.

We have a candid and revealing conversation, and this is an epic interview for Roadcase Episode 250!!

Welcome to Roadcase!! We are so psyched to have Corey Frye, the main dude of The Main Squeeze, on the show. Corey is the lead vocalist and "tour guide" of this uber-cool and hard-working band which combines all the best elements Funk, Soul and Rock and Roll to take its fans on a unique musical ride. Having grown up in the Heartland of Indianapolis -- he now calls Los Angeles his home -- Corey has a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed in this business, but more importantly, having surrounded himself with a diverse group of musician friends, has demonstrated that it's really about the VIBE. The band's new album, To Be Determined, released April 1, combines all the best elements of each band member, and in doing so, artfully showcases the band's unique chemistry. Corey is enthusiastic and excited about doing what he does and what the future holds. He authentically enjoys spreading the love and is the embodiment of the concept of music as an emotion-based vehicle, not simply steeped in one genre... it's about energy and collaboration both onstage, and onto the audience. So let's all vibe out as we take a ride on the Roadcase bus to learn about the stellar artistry of Corey Frye. It's gonna be a good time!!

It has been a long road for Peter One from his humble beginnings in Ivory Coast, where he grew up not far from the administrative capital, Abidjan, all the way to Nashville and the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman. Having picked up a guitar at 17, then joining up with a schoolmate and fellow musician, Jess Sah Bi, Peter released his first album in 1985, Our Garden Needs Its Flowers, and shortly thereafter became a national sensation in his home country, playing for the President of Ivory Coast and regaling massive stadium crowds with his brand of Afro-pop and Americana-influenced folk. Packing up that success in a suitcase full of dreams, Peter left for America, landing in New York City in the mid-90s where he began a new life there working as a nurse and eventually moved to Nashville, all the while quietly making plans to rebuild his music career -- and that he did! With the re-release of "Garden" in 2018 thanks to the small indie label Awesome Tapes from Africa, and thanks to glowing reviews from both Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, Peter began to regain a level of popularity and begin his Second Act. Now, almost 40 years after his debut effort, Peter's sophomore album, Come Back to Me, has just been released on Verve Records. Triumphantly, but not unexpectedly, Peter eventually found himself playing big stages in the U.S. and even opening at The Ryman for Jason Isbell, who explained, "he's a natural performer; you feel like you're seeing someone who is a legendary singer." This is an amazing comeback story, and one of patience, perseverance and determination; one that is loaded with Peter's lowkey and confident vibe, all the while infused with his firm belief in himself and what he knew to be true about the power of his own creative expression and what he has to offer the world. Join us on Roadcase while Peter talks about the long road from Ivory Coast to Nashville on this week's episode. It's a great one!!
