Filming The Show

I've always wanted to chat with of the great unsung heroes of modern jazz - the revered bi-lingual singer and now talented songwriter Madeleine Peyroux. Growing up in both New York and Paris - she began busking on the street as a teenager and first caught national attention with her cozy debut Dreamland - leading to her massive best-seller (and one of my desert island albums) Careless Love - where she masterfully interprets songs from singing poets like Leonard Cohen in a way that no one saw coming. We talk about her bold new LP Let's Walk, how she is finally letting her own songwriting do the talking, how she once worked front of house at Applebees and what governments can do to support music as a balm for mental and physical health for all.

Thanks to Milky Chance for joining me from their tour bus! All episodes: https://www.theshowontheroad.com/episodes What if you started a band with your best friend in high school - and the first song you put out went straight to the top of the charts? Sure, the journey singer/guitarist Clemons Rehbein and drummer/bassist Philipp Dausch have been on after meeting up in Kassel Germany isn't that simple...but it is remarkable that a decade after "Stolen Dance" and the blockbuster album behind it Sadnecessary changed their lives - their friendship and deeply-intiuative sonic connection have never been stronger. I was able to call into their tour bus to talk about their humble start to headlining Red Rocks and touring four continents behind their lush new record Living In A Haze. More than ever, the new LP mixes their roving love of jazz, electronic dance music, reggae and folk forms into a sound that is wholly their own. Standout international collabs with Charlotte Cardin (Quebec) and Fatoumata Diawara (Mali) create a gorgeous aural tapestry that is still danceable but shares more raw emotion than previous releases.

It was a treat to talk to renown heart specialist and long-time folk country singer-songwriter Cleve Francis. He has so much history and wisdom to relay - growing up in the deep south and recording a transcendent collection of folk songs and covers called Beyond The Willow Tree which is just now gaining a feverish audience. He broke the mold in the early 1990's by financing his own country music videos and getting signed in Nashville in a time where black mainstream artists rarely got a place in music city.
