Episode 260: LP Giobbi

02/12/25 • 101 min

I couldn’t be more psyched for this week’s guest, LP Giobbi. LP is an absolute bundle of joy and light and her shows are life-affirming and community-building celebrations that connect us through the common bonds we all share.

LP is a DJ, Producer, jazz-pianist and activist. She was one of NPR’s Favorite New Musicians of 2023 following her debut album Light Places, and her latest album Dotr, features Danielle Ponder, Portugal. The Man, Alabama Shakes and Holly Bowling, among others. LP has played a multitude of festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Electric Forest with the likes of Diplo and SofiTukker, just to name a few. She is also well-known in the jam band community for her Dead House performances featuring electronic versions of the music of Grateful Dead, and her stellar 2023 remix of Jerry Garcia’s 1972 album, Garcia, is a perfect example of building the bridges that create those common bonds.

I talk to LP about her life as a performer and what exactly it has taken (and at what cost) to get to this point, and we also explore her work as an advocate and activist. She founded Femme House, a nonprofit that advocates for gender equity in electronica, heads up her label Yes Yes Yes, and is also Global Music Director for W Hotels. LP is Everywhere, to loosely quote a Dead motto.

This is truly one of my favorite interviews, and LP is a bright, shining light that you will learn so much more about through this amazing conversation!!

Episode 259: Eric Earley of Blitzen Trapper

I’m celebrating Indie folk-rock this week to kick off this year with Eric Earley of the renowned and critically-acclaimed band Blitzen Trapper!! Eric is a true icon and superb songwriter with a knack for weaving unique tales developed through his years of travel along the road to self-discovery. Eric’s song Furr — considered to be one of the finest folk tunes of all-time — brought Blitzen Trapper to prominence and earned them a record deal back in the late 00’s. I talk to Eric about how he mines the myriad adventures along his life’s journey for lyrical content. We traverse the roads less traveled as Eric talks to me about his Buddhist learnings, as well as his current work as an advocate for the unhoused. Eric’s sense of humor and unique perspective on the spiritual world as he sees it makes this an amazing and must-listen interview!

Episode 261: Karl Morse and Ethan Berlin of Arrival Artists

This week I talk to two of the premier booking agents in the industry -- Karl Morse and Ethan Berlin of Arrival Artists. Arrival was founded in 2020 and after only five years, now represents over 300 artists, including many of the biggest touring acts around. Karl and Ethan talk to me about many of the ins-and-outs of what it means to get artists on stages and touring across the country and the world. It's a massive endeavor, and these guys are at the top of their game. We talk about how they both got started in the industry, and we delve into some of the major challenges they face in this extremely complex landscape. It's a compelling and interesting world, and the ultimate result -- getting bands in venues, playing music for their fans -- is what we all love.
