Episode 336 features Brian from the NYC garage rock band Safe Houses. I featured their track ‘I’ll Be Bad to You’ and you can find it wherever you listen to music. Their next show is on 9/22 at Hart Bar NYC. So, if you're in that neck of the woods, you can check out the band. In the conversation, Brian and I talked about balancing work life with music, as well as the inspirations behind writing and the general NYC music scene.

Episode 334 features Mat Leffler-Schulman, a Baltimore-based Grammy-nominated mastering engineer. He works with artists across the country and around the world, including all of my music with The Hollow Truths. I’ve been meaning to have him on for a long time—not only to learn more about mastering in general, but also to talk about our new music. It was a fun, in-depth conversation about both Mat’s life and work, as well as some valuable insights into the mastering process. If you need your music mastered, Mat is definitely the guy. Without turning this intro into too much of a testimonial, I can personally attest that he does excellent work and is great with communication—a key aspect of this business. You can find him on social media or via his website (linked). I’m also very excited to feature The Hollow Truths’ latest song, released this week, called Chasin’ a Dream (Acid in My Coffee). Thanks for listening and for supporting local artists.   https://matlefflerschulman.com [https://matlefflerschulman.com/]

Episode 333 features Tony Correlli of The Deep End Studio! He's an award winning producer based in the Baltimore area, and if you're a local musician, you might already know him or have recorded with him. His state-of-the-art setup at The Deep End has a killer vibe and a massive live room. A multi-instrumentalist who has rocked major festivals, Tony is also the 2024 Maryland Music Award winner for "Best Music Producer." He's a mentor, a Recording Academy voter, and even invented his own patented mics! This is Tony's second time on the show, but our first in-person chat. We dove into his approach to bringing out the best in artists, both sonically and personally. It was one of the most fun conversations I've had on the pod so far; I hope you find it informative or entertaining, or both! I featured his songs "Closest" by Steep Steps and also "Scream" by Carbon Stone (which Tony featured in, including on the photo/flyer for this show). Follow Tony on social media and book studio time at The Deep End if you've got new material to record.
