Episode 16 is here for you! I've got spring fever- I've never experienced wanting to be outdoors in May before! Have some great jams to keep you motivated while working and/or driving around. Plus music news, some nerdy feel good news, and another segment of my interview with Mike Zimmerlich of 80/20 Records and Omelette Prevail. He gives us his "origin story" how he began in the music industry, and how that pivoted from what he originally thought he would do before he and his partner began 80/20 Records in 2007. Good story for anyone who has or might start a business or take a leap in the music industry. Enjoy the show!

Episode 10! WooHOO! March happens to be Women’s History month, and it’s going to be a female-music edition of the show this week. My guest on this episode is a beautiful artist from central Massachusetts Morgan Alyse, and she also happens to be my first Massachusetts/New England guest! We had a fabulous conversation about her music, her first love the Ukulele, and being a woman in the music industry. You will also hear her latest single, Grow, during the interview, as well as a few other female/female-fronted artists. It’s not quite as long of an interview as my past ones have been, but that doesn’t make it any less packed with amazing conversation and music. Enjoy!
