Happy 2024 This week Joe Savage is the guest. I love having Joe on the first show every year. I always think its one of the best and sets a good expectation for the upcoming year. He has released a couple of great albums over the last couple of months. Disappearing Blues and Sounds like Fort Worth. Both are fantastic and we talk about both as well as a ton of other stuff.  Intro/Greeting Leave Me Alone - Joe Savage Disappearing Blues Interview - Joe Savage Aint Nobody's Business - Joe Savage Sounds Like Fort Worth All alums, songs, dates and merch can be found at https://joefnsavage.com/

Its that time of year again and this year I decided to do something different. Instead of playing my favorite tracks or playing music that didn't make it, this year I am playing one song from 13 different categories that I am not familiar with or has never been played on the show. Its a great way to find new music! Go through the categories and find bands you don't know and check them out. You may find a new favorite.   Greeting/Intro Dave Cave - Summer Suite (Album) https://music.apple.com/us/artist/dave-cave/316519808 BLKrKRT- Backmasking (Avante Garde) https://symsongs.bandcamp.com/track/backmasking Broke String Burnett - A Bump in the Road (Americana/Roots) https://brokestringburnett.com/home Texas Scratch - I'd Rather be Lucky than Good (Blues) https://music.apple.com/us/album/texas-scratch/1687719374 Cory Cross Band - Reason to Drink (Country) https://www.corycrossmusic.com/ Ah Pook the Destroyer - Beatitudes (Folk) https://ahpookthedestroyer.bandcamp.com/album/the-king-in-yellow ItsErnie - Ten (Hip Hop Artist) https://itsernie.com/ Sleepy Atlantis - Lazy Recollection (New Band) https://www.sleepyatlantis.com/ Iron Jaw - The Wolf King (Metal) https://ironjaw.bandcamp.com/music Hotcake Hand Grenade - Rotten Scumbag (Punk) https://music.apple.com/us/artist/hotcake-hand-grenade/1674235830 Simone Nicole - Divine (Pop) https://www.simonenicole.com/ BenCJones - She's Fancy (R&B/Soul) https://bencjonesmusic.com/ Rewind the Sun - Hey You (Rock Band) https://www.reverbnation.com/rewindthesun

Matthew Broyles is know as a singer songwriter but he is also a writer of novel like Rewired. Now Matthew has taken his novel Rewired and turned into a radio drama, Rewired Radio Play. The series will span 26 episodes, includes local favorites voicing the different characters and the production and music is top notch. I spend a couple of hours talking with Matthew about the radio play as well as anything else that pops up with some guest appearances from kittens!   Intro/Greeting Texas is trying to kill me - Matthew Broyles https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Matthew+broyles+Texas+is+trying+to+kill+me Interview with Matthew Broyles https://thematthewshow.com/ Rewired Radio trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0PdGbxdRho&t=14s https://linktr.ee/thematthewshow
