The second half of yesterday’s proGram was powered by the wild ways of the junGle and the things that hide there….a biG thank you to Alisa Rose of the Real Vocal String Quartet for being a guest on the show. We talked about their upcoming show at the Stoughton Opera House on March 28th, the way an album is tweaked and selected and since she is a local to Madison, we talked about how special it will be to have her heels in on “home” turf and all the guests she will have in the crowd that helped shape her along the way.

I want to thank friend of the proGram, That 1 Guy for checking in once aGain as he prepares to bring his MaGic Pipe and all its sound glory to the High Noon Saloon this Wednesday March 12th. We spoke about the new album, “Poseidon’s Deep Water Adventure Friends” and how difficult it was to make a sonically specific album…meaning that he wrote the tunes on the album with a theme…Water….He explained how he has three more in this specific theme based way…the second of which will be Outer Space, followed by Magic and then Earth. Those who catch the show will hear things known and new and maybe even something for one of these future albums. We talked about how he does a mini maGic show as a meet N greet with 20 people who sign up ahead of time and how he has been in the middle of a transformation……I also want to that Chad of the Rebirth Brass Band for ringing in and preppin’ us for the party that will be at The Sett this Thursday when RBB rolls into town fresh off a Mardi Gras way as part of the Isthmus Jazz Series….We talked about the feeling of a Grammy in the hand, and how when the band makes it to your town….they bring New Orleans with them to your place….we also spoke about…YES…a new album….he clued us into some of the potential names…..I can’t wait to see them and find out….and you’ll be the first to know riGht after that.

The final half of the other day’s proGram really was a treat. The worlds met where they will meet aGain, yet we were the first to hear it from the artists themselves….And on this coming Friday, February 21st at the Overture Center, Habib Koité and Raul Midón will share the staGe and on this day, we got them a different times, to ourselves on the phone. Habib and I discussed his latest release, Soô…it’s simplicity yet truth is speaks is charming and revealing. We spoke of how in his homeland of Mali, making music in the streets or anywhere outside has been deemed illegal, and how he put this album toGether behind his home studio walls just soundwaves away from the “outside”. We also took the time to talk about his musical friendship with Bonnie Raitt, and how they became to be so close is the kind of tale told at a campfire…Habib let me know he and the band will have an extra day off here in Madison and that he was going to catch up with a Malian pal who has a farm in Wisconsin. NICE! Raul and I talked about his new album in the works…most likely titled “Don’t Hesitate” which features a song written with Bill Withers and played alongside friend of the proGram, Mr. Marcus Miller…we talked of the many collaborations he has been a magical part of and how this newest album was a double duty of sorts as he enGineered the whole project himself..and being a blind dude, we both aGreed on the heaviness of that accomplishment. There was also a community of sound that came toGether around these incredible live radio events:
