Jenna comes to us from way up in Litchfield, MN! She spent years running merch out at Weber's Deck where she got to know many musicians and singer-songwriters. After years of slinging merch, attending shows and supporting independent music, Jenna made the decisions to try her hand at playing music for folks. Beginning with a one-off gig many years ago, Jenna recently started playing shows and working on doing some recordings outside of the demos she currently has available. We had fun discussing what led her to take this jump into performing, what speedbumps she's hit along the way, how she's ..read more

This week we had our first international guest, Sean Burns. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sean fronts his band Sean Burns and Lost Country, hosts his podcast The Northern Report, hosted the radio show Boots & Saddles on CKUW 95.9 FM for years and also holds down bass duties for Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans! To say Sean is well-rounded is an understatement. If you check out his website, there is even a Honky-Tonkumentary on his band and the recording of their album, We Gotta Lotta Truckin' To Do. He does it all, really. We enjoyed getting the opportunity to talk shop with him. We ..read more

The week, we were joined by Steve Tagliere and Jason Bonilla of Junebird! We've known Steve for many years now as we used to play with him as a solo artist and the duo he had with his wife: Steve + Mel. Steve is a really talented songwriter and musician and we are big fans, so when he had a new project, we were sure to check it out. That's when we met Jason, who as friendly as he is energetic on stage. The other members of the band are Earl Bounsall on bass and Dusty B. on drums.  Due to their residences being in out past Katy, which we already call "East San Antonio," we did this one via ..read more

Bevin Luna's website describes her as "Based out of Fort Collins, CO with roots in Memphis, TN and Dominican Republic. Bevin Luna’s guitar- and gut-driven songs package sly intelligence inside a rough-and-rugged sound." And we have to agree with that. A few weeks before heading out on our mid-October tour, we checked out her music due to sharing a bill with her (and others) at the Choice City Stomp Fall Fling. Upon the first listen of her latest EP, Madison and Angelus, we were in love with her tunes. It touches on garage rock, melodic rock, punk rock...anything that has ROCK in it, that's the ..read more

However, the thing we're most grateful for is the time we get to spend talking about music with our friends and peers throughout this process. It's been pretty amazing.
