    Bill Payne and Scott Sharrard of Little Feat

    Bill Payne and Scott Sharrard of Little Feat

    Little Feat’s story is one of longevity, an incredible catalogue of tunes, and excellent musicianship. The latest incarnation of the band, might be the closest we’ve heard since the band was formed back in 1969 by Lowell George, Billy Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada. The current line up is on tour most of the spring well into the summer, and they’re releasing an album full of blues covers and a few originals entitled Sam’s Place featuring percussionist turned vocalist Sam Clayton May 17th. I got up with keyboardist Billy Payne and current guitar player and friend of the show Scott Sharrard to get the lowdown on all things Feat. 

    First song: Can't Be Satisfied

    Second song: You'll Be Mine

    Cris Jacobs

    We’ve waited five years for noted singer songwriter Cris Jacobs to release new music. Fortunately his latest effort “One of These Days” is now available  wherever you buy and listen to music and it’s one of my favourites of the year so far. Backed by the Infamous Stringdusters and produced by Jerry Douglas, the new album is a blend of rock, soul, gospel and of course bluegrass. Obviously we had to talk to Cris about the new record, mental health and much more. Have a listen.

     

    First song: Work Song

    Second song: Daughter, Daughter

Best live music podcast out there!

I look forward to The Live Five podcast every week for the best collection of live music!

Adam Weinberg ,

Great interviewer

Love the podcast. Got first introduced to Ira and his podcast through Reed Mathis a while back (which remains one of my favorite musician interviews ever) and have been enjoying it every since. The Sound Podcast is great asset to our scene!

Dave Ruch ,

Great interviewer

Ira is very well researched as an interviewer and asks great questions that get his guests thinking and talking in new ways about what they do. Highly recommended!
