Episode 372: The Slang (John & Felix) [Pop Rock] [Ohio/DMV]

Episode 372 features The Slang. Based in both Ohio and Maryland, The Slang is the brainchild of John and Felix, who have been releasing albums for many years now. They bring a very smooth, polished indie rock sound. Their full band will be featured at this year’s PTR Fest on July 18th at Fish Head Cantina, main stage at 6 PM. Get there early. They also have the honor of being formerly self-cancelled since their last appearance on the show. So John is back to tell the tale of the fallout. On the episode I featured their brand new track “lies, lies, lies” if you like you can stream it wherever you like.    Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you’d like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.

Episode 371: Gardenwalk (Alternative) [Catonsville, MD]

Episode 371 features Gardenwalk from Catonsville, Maryland. They are featured at this year’s 5th annual PTR Fest at Fish Head Cantina JULY 18 in Halethorpe, MD, just south of Baltimore. They will be hitting the stage at roughly 6pm so get there early! Gardenwalk channels melodic gaze-core, drawing from shoegaze, post-hardcore, and alternative. Their sound juxtaposes delicate vocals with atmospheric grit, balancing fragility with catharsis. They are currently in the process of writing new music and I featured a short snippet of one of their new demos called “Playlist for the Moon.” In the interview, I spoke with Shaina and Brad. We talked about starting a new band after playing in many bands over the years, the Baltimore music scene, and much more.     Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you’d like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.

Episode 368: Kevin Daniel (Nashville) [Singer/Songwriter/Americana]

Episode 368 features Nashville-based Americana songwriter Kevin Daniel. Hailing originally from North Carolina, Kevin brings a rich, soul-stirring blend of southern rock, gospel, blues, and heartfelt storytelling that he calls “Y’allternative Rock.” After years honing his craft in Brooklyn and building a reputation as a dynamic live performer, he’s now calling Music City home and continuing to turn heads with his powerful voice, honest songwriting, and high-energy shows. Kevin’s musical journey took a profound turn after the tragic loss of his parents in a plane crash in 2013. That grief and celebration of their adventurous lives fueled his debut EP FLY, and he’s since released a string of acclaimed projects including Myself Through You, Things I Don’t See, Been Here Before, and his latest full-length The Life & Adventures of Kevin Daniel (via Organic Records). He’s shared stages with artists like Brittany Spencer and Mary Gauthier, toured extensively across the US, UK, and Mexico (often 100–150 dates a year), and earned praise for his ability to weave rock, soul, roots, and Appalachian influences into deeply personal songs. I featured his track “Bless Your Heart” on this episode. It’s a great example of Kevin’s signature mix of wit, warmth, and raw emotion that captures the spirit of Southern life with a modern edge. If you love authentic Americana with grit, soul, and plenty of heart, Kevin Daniel is a must-listen. Catch him live when he rolls through your town, and stream his music everywhere now.                Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you’d like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.
