Hey fellow boners. I have started a new music podcast which I hope will be of interest to some of you. It's called Strike Up The Band. I plan to try to interview musicians from a wide variety of genres, not just brass players, although brass players will be prominant as I know lots of them. My first interview was with Nashville studio trumpeter Vinny Cieslielski and we spent an hour talking about his process for commercial recording, among other things. I have some other great guests already lined up, including our own Alex Illes, trumpeter/composer/arranger/band leader Elliot Deutsch, Philip Harper of the Cory Band, and the music director of a nearby symphony. I hope it will be a show that musicians enjoy.

I am still in the process of getting listed on Stitcher, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. I should have those in another week or so.

If you enjoy the show, please share it. I hope it will turn into something people enjoy listening to. Thanks!

Someday....

Nice interview so far, Mike! I'll finish it later today.

Thanks. Vinnie was easy. I just let him talk. I have another podcast that I do where I have practically had to drag words out of people.

Let us know when it's on Spotify!

Still waiting on Spotify, but I am on Apple, Stitcher, and Amazon or just listen at the web site - www.strikeupthebandpod.com.

Thanks to Harrison for pointing out that my audio needed some improvement. I went back and re-rendered the file and it sounds a lot better now. I am doing my interview with Alex Illes this Friday, so that one should be good.

Alex Illes !!

I met him at the STS seminar last summer and he was just super nice. It should be a good show. I'm not trying to be another Brass Junkies - I don't care about how somebody won their audition to the Podunk symphony. I'm more interested in learning how musicians get things done on a regular basis.

Woo hoo, I just got an email from Bones Malone to say he would be on the show. I’m going big time.

Nice! I'm following now and look forward to listening to your first episode (and additional ones as well).

I'm still waiting for the first "like" on the facebook page lol. Nobody likes me

I honestly don't have FB
