At Seismic Dance Event, I was able to sit down with Sam Wolfe, an artist and producer from Atlanta, for a candid discussion about his steady rise up the techno charts and how his music has been influenced by hard work, good karma, and being at the right place, right time.  Sam’s personality lends to big beats with big releases that are infectious when he’s playing and can be easily seen and felt on the dance floor.We talk about his manifestation mindset and being grateful to play all over the world, his growth from show to show, and one of the most entertaining rapid fire question rounds I’ve ever done. 00:30 Biggest crowd in Austin00:57 Crowd exponentially growing in each city01:40 Playing Kelly Gray’s birthday 03:10 San Diego Wild Experience04:34 Manifestation05:55 Playing Techno with a Smile07:49 Playing in Lebanon08:21 Common themes around the world09:30 Opening for Charlotte & Enrico10:20 Putting out new music11:09 Rapid Fire QuestionsIf you could please rate, leave a review and share this episode with others, I’d be so grateful!#samwolfe #concertqueenconnect #atlantadjGuest: Sam WolfeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/samwolfemusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Hu2YwTv9wmxC8sppVVUA4?si=rYfaF2zWTsarKJEi26d9fgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SamWolfeMusicSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/samwolfemusic?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@samwolfemusicMake sure to subscribe to be notified of new episodes of “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like’ this episodel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Host: Clarissa CardenasIG: https://www.instagram.com/clarissacardenas_cq/Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenListen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com)IG : https://www.instagram.com/the.souz

On today’s show, I have music duo, Hello Yes, consisting of guitarist Mitch Bell and saxophonist Aaron Leibowitz, birthed during off time on the road with electronic artist Zhu, who they continue to perform and collaborate with. With a new EP out titled, “Lost Signal”, they are constantly evolving and fine tuning their sound, taking influences from tour life and playing all over the world on festival and concert stages alike. We talked about my awkward first meeting back on Zhu’s tour bus with Mitch and Ronny in 2018, uncommon fan gifts received on tour, the evolution of their “Hello Yes” sound and when they know a song is finished. They also discuss their first performance at “Lightning in a Bottle” this year with Ronny recapping his first festival experience there 10 years ago, and headlining the main stage with Zhu the previous year. Get to know “Hello Yes” and make sure to follow them for tour announcements and new song releases! If you could please rate, leave a review and share this episode with others!#helloyes # concertqueenconnect #zhuGuest: Hello YesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/helloyesmusic/Website: https://helloyes.fanlink.to/lost-signalSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0tweXbQgD1iVEXA3fAJfmR?si=RuH_WW0XQiidYgThDXKi3g&nd=1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HelloYesMusicSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/hello_yesTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helloyesmusicGravitas Recordings: http://music.gravitasrecordings.com/Make sure to subscribe to be notified of new episodes of “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like’ this episodel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Host: Clarissa CardenasIG: https://www.instagram.com/concertqueenofficial/Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenListen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com)IG : https://www.instagram.com/the.souz

On today’s show, I have the man, the myth, the legend, Josh Donaldson, founder of “When The Music Stops” and former tour manager of the World’s Biggest DJ, and at one point, “Las Vegas’s hand to shake” in the scene. Josh has toured the world, opened some of the biggest Vegas hotels in nightlife, and was the first person to book artists like Drake in Vegas in a prior life. However, what seemed like the most glamorous life filled with money, success, and beautiful women, was filled with moments that contributed to Josh’s depression and even suicidal thoughts.After his attempt to end his life, he sought treatment and help to overcome his demons and depression, as well as becoming the face and founder of “When The Music Stops”, a suicide prevention community and non-profit organization aimed at supporting mental health, emotional health, and suicide prevention through music, connection and love.It is a heavier show than normal and I challenge you to hear Josh’s story in entirety and the ways that he has chosen to help himself and others become their best selves. I know you can probably relate to many things within in this show and if you’re able to contribute to this incredible organization in any way, Josh & “When The Music Stops” would greatly appreciate your support!!If you could please rate, review and share this episode with others, I would be so grateful And to talk about this or anything on the podcast, find me on instagram at @atxconcertqueen or shoot me an email at [email protected] without further ado, enjoy this show with Josh Donaldson!#whenthemusicstops #wtms #concertqueenconnect #capyacforever Guest: Josh Donaldson, When The Music StopsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/whenthemusicstops/https://www.instagram.com/joshuacdonaldson/https://www.instagram.com/joshdvegas/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wtms_orghttps://twitter.com/JoshDVegasWebsite: https://whenthemusicstops.orgMake sure to tune in every Wednesday to watch new episodes of “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ to our YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Host: Clarissa CardenasIG: https://www.instagram.com/atxconcertqueen/ Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconcertqueenVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenListen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com)IG : https://www.instagram.com/the.souz

On today's show, I talk about two pressing things that have been weighing on my heart. It's not a comfortable thing to talk about but as we continue to go out and attend events, concerts and festivals, it must be known that the behaviors of some individuals is completely uncalled for. Most recently, I've had 2 friends get drugged in the last month, and I myself have been drugged 3 x's since living in Austin. This is happening everywhere and it needs to stop. I talk about these specific situations in detail, and how we need to normalize these conversations so others can look out for each other and know that they're not alone. Make sure to tune in every Wednesday to watch new episodes of “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ to our YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Host: Clarissa CardenasIG: https://www.instagram.com/atxconcertqueen/ Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconcertqueenVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenListen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com)IG : https://www.instagram.co
