SMP EP#18: Dan Patrick and Whitt Algar
Dan Patrick and Whitt Algar graciously sit down with us to discuss their views on everything from "bullet belts and lipstick" to their band New Ghost Town. I had a great time hosting these two gentlemen, and they are definitely two of Charleston's most enduring performers and songwriters. This episode also features some great bumper music from guitarist Mike Miller (with me on upright bass, just to remain transparent).New Ghost TownBroken SkylineMandolins And BeerAround The ClockSounds About RightMaybank Public House

SMP EP#16: Brass Spotlight
For this episode, SMP takes a deep dive into the world of brass. This is the first episode to also feature a guest-host, Mr. Andy Masker, who is also much more knowledgeable on this subject...so I largely stayed out of his way on this one. Dr. David Carter, Hank Bilal, and Chris Williams are the featured guests...lots of great music here. Give us a listen and a share if you like what we're doing.

SMP EP#15: Zandrina Dunning and Stephen Washington
Was very happy to host Zandrina Dunning and Stephen Washington...a very engaging conversation was had among three friends. In fact, it was Zandrina who originally encouraged me to do this podcast. We discussed topics as diverse as: church musicianship, appreciating your collaborators, Gullah Music Collective, even more on "feel," what producers look for, goals, family, etc. Bumper music provided by Andy Masker.

SMP EP#14: Cameron Wescott and Sean Bing
Sean Bing and Cameron Wescott (The Psycodelics) sat down to discuss a wide range of topics. I really learned a lot from these guys...both provide so many great musical insights here. There's also some REALLY wonderful music in this episode for you to enjoy as well. We talked about the pocket, recording and writing, future goals, reflections on their successes, musical influences, their time on Jam Cruise, etc. The topic of Madison Square Garden was mentioned briefly but wonderfully. I had a great time and I hope you will as well. The PsycodelicsMaybank Public HouseJam Cruise

SMP EP#13: Elise Testone and Wallace Mullinax
Elise and Wallace set down to discuss musicianship, their history together as collaborators, and their thoughts about their own diverse and inspiring musical journeys. Wallace lures us into an extended metaphor about how keeping time is like fly fishing. Elise cops to using roosters as promotional cannon fodder. Stratton Moore makes his long-prophesized return as co-host...deftly weaves together a tapestry of narrative splendor. A great and far-reaching conversation that I think you will all enjoy.Elise TestoneLuretoSexbruise?Slightly Mighty Podcast YouTube ChannelMaybank Public House

SMP EP#12: Graham Whorley
For the 12th episode of the show I sit down with the amazingly talented artist Graham Whorley. Graham is a truly one-of-a-kind artist and someone I've respected and admired for many years. Lots of musical topics, and non-musical topics, are addressed and even redressed. We also solve the problem with artificial intelligence with magic, as well as tell a couple anecdotes about a truly magical shared friend. Music selections from Graham's extensive catalogue are creative and varied...definitely recommend checking out more from his catalogue. As always, thanks to Drew Madden and Maybank Public House for allowing us use of their space. https://grahamwhorley.com/Graham Whorley YouTube PageMaybank Public House

SMP EP#10: Steven Sandifer and Justin Parrish
Great chance to speak with Steven Sandifer and Justin Parrish on the show...lots of great thoughts were shared, and some really interesting songs for you to hear. What is one's place in an ensemble? How different genres can share similarities. Acoustic music. Advice on being competitive. Multi-instrumentalism. The concept of "feel" makes another reappearance and a brief rap about rapport. Writing music. Being a sideman. A lot of good sauce was crammed into this episode...I hope you will enjoy.DangermuffinBluestone RamblersDelvon Lamarr Organ Trio

SMP EP#9: Charlton Singleton and Papa Robbie Ellington
Very fun conversation with two of my favorite Charleston musicians. I love talking to old friends, and these two men go way back. Charleston history was examined. The creative process was investigated. A brief analysis of the influence of Gullah music, both regionally and nationally. What's so special about a dub plate? Jazz. Some rather solid critique. So much discussed here you need to check it out. Thank for tuning in to the show.Maybank Public HouseRoots Musik KaramuCharltonSinglton.comTheDubplates.comRankyTanky.comPapaRobbie.com
