Shannon LaBrie on Past, Present, Future, Live! This week, I got to sit down with singer, songwriter and excellent musician Shannon LaBrie. She’s made her way from Nebraska to Nashville, with a lot of stops in between. Her unique voice has led to comparisons to Norah Jones, Jeff Buckley, and many others.

As always, she plays a few exclusive tracks, and we share one of them on this episode!

Bob Dylan “Under the Red Sky” on Late Era. On this new episode of Late Era, they dig into an album that even Wikipedia says “was largely greeted as a strange and disappointing follow-up to 1989's critically acclaimed Oh Mercy.” Sam, Winston and Andy dive in and look at the strangeness of this record, the cameos, the time when it was made, and whether there’s anything worth going back to here. A snippet of this episode is included here for your listening pleasure!

Steve Parish on Comes A Time. In this episode, Oteil and Mike welcome Steve Parish, longtime crew member for the Grateful Dead and close friend of Jerry Garcia. The three talk about the Dead’s early days in San Francisco, Steve’s career with the band, from roadie to manager; and, why the Dead could be a model for how we should live our lives today. Steve tells Oteil and Mike what he learned 10 years after the legendary 1978 Grateful Dead concert in Egypt, and about that time he delivered a baby while Bob Weir was writing the song “Cassidy.” This is a not-to-be missed episode.

Sadler Vaden on Helping Friendly Podcast. Matt and Jonathan chatted with Sadler Vaden, guitarist for The 400 Unit and a solo artist in his own right.

This show is from 10/5/2002 in Spotsylvania, VA. “This festival took place during the height of the D.C. Sniper shootings in Virginia just off of I-95. The Disco Biscuits were the only late-night act on their own secondary woods stage. Using the Rich Steele Remaster of John Madigan’s AUD source, it’s one of the best audience pulled Disco Biscuits recordings of all time.”

Chalkdust Torture on Under the Scales. In this new episode, Tom and I went deep into Chalkdust. We talked about the origins of the song, a similar song that emerged around the same time, some standout versions, and of course, a close look at the lyrics. These are a lot of fun for us, and we hope they are for you too. Become a reefer!

Atonal Phish with The Ravine. Wanted to give a shout out to our friend Brian Brinkman, who started this show that he describes as “explorations of atonal Phish.” I listened to episode 3 on a long run today and it was really cool. Very minimal talking, just excerpts of spacey, interesting jams. This episode has some segments from 93, 96, 97, 99, 03, 10 and 17. I suggest you check this out.

Kendell Marvel on Politics of Truth. This week Bob sits down with Kendell Marvel, a singer-songwriter who has written hits for Chris Stapleton and many others. They talk about music, politics, and a lot more.

The album was received unfavorably by most critics, although it won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance the following year.

1996 Rupp Gin on Beyond the Pond. On this episode, Brian and Dave take on the Bathtub Gin from the 11/7/96. A jam that was ahead of its time, and is still one of the most memorable of all time.

Osirecs: FeelFree! I want to give a shout out to a band that I’ve been listening to for 10 years, FeelFree. This is my brother-in-law’s band, so I’m biased, but they have great songwriting, tight playing, good jams, and awesome horn lines. This is good Summer music, so you should check them out.

Our first 1972 show in the series – and the first of three from September ‘72 in the larger Dick’s Picks series, this is one of the best full shows we’ve heard thus far. Steven and Rob focus on the impact of Europe and shows like Veneta on the band in 1972, and the transition they were about to go through as they moved into 1973 and 1974, two renowned years in Grateful Dead history.

We have a brand new show to share with you. Please subscribe to Late Era.

And if you love The Drop, give us a review!

Late Era Debut! We’re thrilled to bring you a brand new podcast, Late Era, which will closely examine the under-appreciated and overlooked records from some of the most notable artists of the last sixty years. Hosted by three music critics and musicians, Sam Sodomsky of Pitchfork, Andy Cush of Garcia Peoples and Pitchfork, and Winston Cook-Wilson of Pitchfork. These guys do a great job of exploring these artistic left turns, and look into whether there are things there that we should still appreciate. Episode 1 is about the 2003 Neil Young and Crazy Horse release, Greendale. So this is a Bush-era, 10-song rock opera set in a fictional seaside California town. It’s a weird one, and a perfect album to kick off this series. Please subscribe and leave a review.
Harry Reid on Politics of Truth. Bob Crawford is joined by Bob Costa of the Washington Post and they welcome former US Senator Harry Reid of Nevada. Of course Harry Reid served in the Senate for more than 30 years, and they talk about the legacy of Congressman John Lewis, this summer of protests against racial injustice, seeing Elvis perform in Vegas, The Grateful Dead, and the Democrats’ chances of retaking the Senate in November.

Billy Strings + Alexandra Savior + Disco Biscuits!

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0000

Three great new podcast episodes for you all, hope you check them out. Give us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts if you like The Drop. :)

Alexandra Savior on Past, Present, Future, Live! This week, I got to talk with singer-songwriter Alexandra Savior about her new album "The Archer,” growing up in Portland, songwriting as therapy, and what's next for her music while tour plans remain on hold. After the interview you'll hear Alexandra perform three songs off that record, and we include one here as well.
Billy Strings on Eric Krasno Plus One. In this episode Eric talks to Billy Strings, whose high-energy live shows are introducing bluegrass to all types of new fans. The two first met at the RoosterWalk Festival in 2017, when a storm prevented Eric’s band from showing up and Billy’s band sat in at the last minute. They’ve been friends ever since, and in those years Billy Strings has gone from releasing their first EP to selling out theaters across the country.
Homeruns All Day with Jon Barber. This new episode of Touchdowns All Day with Jon Barber is back with a recap of The Disco Biscuits show on 6/23/2020 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA. Jon walks through some of the jams, talks about the experience, and more. And they were able to help raise over $75,000 for PLUS1 For Black Lives. To donate, text DISCO to 50155, or visit plus1.org/discobiscuits.

Weekend Podcast Listening Recommendations

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0000

Today we have a bunch of podcast recommendations for the weekend.

Festival Circuit: New Orleans Episode 2. In this episode, we explore the idea of family in New Orleans, in all the ways that it manifests—the famous musical families of the city, the broader New Orleans musical family, and the idea that the city feels like one big family in many ways. There’s discussion of food, a lot of music, and so much more. We also talk about how the New Orleans family came together around a tragedy, after Hurricane Katrina. We end with talking about this amazing performance from Bruce Springsteen at the 2006 jazz fest, which we’ll pick up in episode 4. Thanks to all interviewees, and to our partners at WWOZ.
David Crosby from 1998 on The Tapes Archive. A never before published interview with David Crosby from 1998, where Croz talks about meeting his son after 30 years, writing and playing music with his son, and a lot more. I’d also like to remind you about Freak Flag Flying, the 5-part series we did with David Crosby earlier this year, which feels like a lifetime ago.
Campaign Songs on Politics of Truth. Bob’s guest this week is Margaret Talev, White House and Politics Editor at Axios and a CNN political analyst. Margaret is also a huge music fan who’s paid close attention to the soundtracks of campaigns for as long as she’s been on the trail. Margaret and Bob discuss which campaigns have harnessed the power of music effectively, and why it’s worked. There’s also the inevitable awkwardness (and occasional lawsuit) when a campaign co-opts the music of a political opponent, as is happening now with the Trump campaign on multiple fronts. And they talk a little politics.
American Aquarium on Southern Songs and Stories. This is the first of a two episode series on BJ Barham of American Aquarium, with in depth conversation with BJ Barham as well as guests Ronda Chollock, a music promoter from Charlottesville, Virginia, and music artist Tyler Boone, who grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, but now calls Hollywood home. They talk about how Barham articulates the dark history of the South so that people will start having conversations about racial and class divides, however uncomfortable those conversations might be. They touch on how bittersweet it must be to have a hit record with no way to play it in person to fans, about how metal and Southern rock have more in common than you might have thought, and working with yet another Grammy-winning producer, Shooter Jennings.
Dani Markham on Past, Present, Future, Live!

The Drop Daily—Marc Brownstein Interview + More

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0000

Today we have a few new episodes to tell you about, and an interview with Marc Brownstein of The Disco Biscuits and Star Kitchen.

Billy Martin on Across the Margin. In this latest episode, host Michael Shields talks with American composer, percussionist, visual artist, educator and record producer Billy Martin—best known as a member Medeski Martin & Wood. He just released an album, Guilty, which includes input from Marc Ribot, John Medeski, and others. Michael and Billy talk about the album, his work with Creative Music Studio, and coming up in the New York scene in the 80s.

Greyboy Allstars on Inside Out wTnS. In honor of Como de Allstars, the first studio release from Greyboy Allstars in 7 years, Seth and Rob share a recent a Zoom chat with Robert Walter (keyboards) and Elgin Park (guitar) of the band. They talk about how this album came together after so long, and why they chose to release the record now. They also talk about the early days of the band and tell some great stories.

Japan 2000 on The Daily Soundcheck. The Japan 2000 soundchecks continue, with Myke bringing in Dave Calarco, also known as Mr. Miner, to talk about the 6.15.00 soundcheck. This epic run, of course, deserves a lot of discussion. The soundcheck includes a rare version of “The Happy Whip and Dung” and a hilarious look behind what was going on with the Phish stage crew taking place in “Windora Bug”.

Marc Brownstein Interview. I had a great conversation with Marc today about his funk band, Star Kitchen, and a lot more. We’re going to get into the interview in just a minute. The new Star Kitchen single, “Entirely,” comes out officially this Friday. There’s a hilarious story behind the name of the song, which you’ll hear—along with our discussion of Live Lesson Masters, The Disco Biscuits, ’97 Phish, Headcount, and a lot more. Great stories and a fun conversation.

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 10:00:00 -0000

This is mostly visual, with some clips and some videos, so we suggest you check out the YouTube version!

Take Two Knees—New York Philharmonic’s Anthony McGill. The Principal Clarinet started an initiative on May 30, by posting a video of himself playing the clarinet before getting on his knees in a prayer for justice and decency. He encouraged his friends and musicians to join him, which inspired a bunch of responses.
Jon Batiste Leading Musical March in NYC. The New Orleans legend who is now leading the band on Stephen Colbert’s show led a march to bring attention to systematic injustice. He said “"We are the ones who are responding to the 401 years of generational trauma and oppression that our ancestors bore. We're standing on their shoulders. We are the ones who can change a generation for women. We have the power right now. We are the ones."
Detroit Techno Float. During a Black Lives Matter protest in Detroit, we saw a float and a dance party, all set to techno music. This was a reminder of the way techno started, as a form of protest and a reaction to inner-city strife in Detroit.
Lean on Me in DC. There was a moving singalong to this Bill Withers classic during a protest in DC last week. Singer Kenny Sway led the crowd, but you can hear hundreds and hundreds of people singing along with him.
Jam Sessions in Philly. To bring it home, I’ll talk a bit about my new home, Philadelphia. It was amazing to see all the different jam sessions, dancing circles, and more that popped up around the city.

Music always has been, and always will be, part of the way people fight against injustice, violence and racism. Let’s keep it going. Organizations you can support: Color of Change, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Campaign Zero, Black Lives Matter, National Bail Fund Network.

This week, Brian and Dave said “With everything happening in America in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, we felt it necessary to step back and discuss our thoughts, as well as how we’re communicating racism and the constant pursuit of equality in our country to our kids. We also felt it important to acknowledge that we haven’t done enough as podcasters to highlight the music of black artists, especially those who are up and coming, and we commit to do better. We’ve also included information about a few organizations we’ve donated to that we’d encourage you to as well. Finally, we compiled a playlist of some of the black artists who paved the way for the music we love, as well as those making music today that are blowing our minds.”
Helping Friendly Podcast—Perspective from a Phish Fan of Color. This episode is a rebroadcast of a conversation we brought to you first in 2017 with Phish fans Shaunea Robinson, and Adam Lioz, who wrote a blog post about the whiteness of the Phish scene for Headcount and later went on to start Phans for Racial Equity. We talk about Adam and Shaunea’s Phish journeys, the post Adam wrote, the feedback from the piece, and hear about Shaunea’s experience at Phish shows. And then we play some music that they both chose. We hope you enjoy the episode.
Eric Krasno on Past, Present, Future, Live! We want to give another plug to our newest show, which was just released yesterday. We hope you got to listen to the podcast, check out the video of Eric performing songs live and check out the Spotify playlist of songs discussed in the episode. New episode next week.

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 09:00:42 -0000

Past, Present, Future, Live! Today we launch a brand new weekly show. Each episode walks through an artist’s past and present, and we also look to the future with them as well. We then hear and see an exclusive live performance of a few songs that are reflected in the episode.

The first guest is Eric Krasno. We go into depth on Eric’s musical experience, from his discovery of Led Zeppelin to meeting the guys in Lettuce to joining Soulive to his most recent album, Telescope. We also talked about his collaborations with John Scofield, Derek Trucks and Talib Kweli.

The Drop Daily—6/8/20

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 12:07:23 -0000

Osiris stands in solidarity with those who are protesting police violence and racial injustice. Black lives matter. We encourage our listeners to donate to organizations working toward change. There are links to several organizations that we support in the show notes.

We are a company that celebrates a diverse, equitable, and just culture. We are able to celebrate music every day across multiple podcasts because of the artists of color who have created, and continue to create, the music that we love.

Our company, and the podcast industry, can do better. We will work harder to amplify the voices of people who create the diverse world we live in, and those who are working towards real change. And we will be focusing on our own commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

A couple things we want to share today.

Music is responding. We’ve seen a lot of encouraging reactions to the current situation by people involved with music. Of course there was Killer Mike’s powerful speech as part of the Atlanta mayor’s press conference. Across the country, music venues and theaters are opening to aid protestors, including 930 Club and Arena Stage in DC, giving access to restrooms, food, and snacks.

Jon Batiste led a march of musicians through New York City over the weekend. Dozens of artists have joined the protests, and many more have donated millions of dollars in support of reform efforts.

Bandcamp announced that this coming Juneteenth (June 19) and every Juneteenth hereafter, for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, they’ll donate 100% of their share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. They’re also highlighting artists and labels who are donating to organizations on their website.

Alan Evans on Eric Krasno Plus One. On a special episode of Plus One, Kraz talks with drummer and bandmate, fellow Soulive founding member, Alan Evans. Alan & Eric discuss the ongoing protests against police brutality & racism, the current political climate in the US, and related personal experiences, including a story about Alan’s dad’s protesting of racist treatment as a college football player. The two also spend some time diving into Alan’s career and early memories of playing together in Soulive.

Thanks for tuning in. We’ll see you back here tomorrow. I want to leave you with a quote from James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.“

Organizations you can support: Color of Change, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Campaign Zero, Black Lives Matter, National Bail Fund Network.

The show premieres next Tuesday, June 2, and the first 4 guests are Eric Krasno, Rhett Miller, Marco Benevento and Ted Leo.

Sat, 28 Mar 2020 10:00:00 -0000

It’s Saturday! You know, Saturday is very different. We are going to tell you about a few things we think you should know about with all of the music streams, artist projects and more that are out there. We have a lot of original Osiris stuff coming soon, which we’ll tell you about. Let’s dive in.

Jon Cleary “Quarantini Happy Hour.” What a nice way to kick off a Saturday afternoon. If you’ve never seen Jon Cleary, you should check him out. He’s a classic New Orleans pianist, been around and played with almost everyone. This is a piano lesson and musical event.
Uncle Jesse’s dance party. This is going to be a blast. From 4-7pm ET, you’ll be invited to listen to our good friend Jesse Lauter DJ and put on a virtual dance party via Zoom. You can check the Osiris Twitter this morning for an announcement and invite link. Do you want to get down with hundreds of your friends? You should do that.
Papa Mali music and storytime. Back to New Orleans for the evening, 8pm ET, the guitarist will be playing songs, taking requests, telling stories and “hopefully, providing a welcome distraction, maybe even a brief sense of normalcy,” donations can be made via the stream. Presented by The Maple Leaf Bar.
Beyond the Pond Sunday Morning Deep Dive. At 11am Sunday, Brian and Dave will be doing a live video deep dive on 7/17/98 set 2. Plus some essential Sunday albums. Get some coffee and hang with Brian and Dave as they explore a Phish show and probably expose you to some music you didn’t already know about!
Mark McKinnon on Politics of Truth. Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers hosts this new podcast that’s about politics and music. I found this episode really cool and refreshing because it doesn’t have any of the divisiveness of current politics. Mark talks about meeting Kris Kristofferson as a teenager and moving to Nashville to work with him, as well as his experience in the Bush administration and beyond

We’ll be back first thing Monday morning to tell you about the new stuff coming from Osiris and beyond. Keep us posted on what you think of this format, and enjoy the weekend. Until then…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here are 5 things you need to know, along with a few live tracks from New Orleans mus.

#1—Early 90s Phish love on Osiris podcasts! Both Beyond the Pond and Helping Friendly Podcast had new episodes this week, both focusing on stuff from the early 90s. This is an era that gets a bit overlooked, but both of these episodes are worth going back to.

#2—Neal Casal benefit album and documentary coming. JamBase told us about a new Neal Casal benefit album, Highway Butterfly: The Songs Of Neal Casal, which will support MusiCares, Backline, and the newly formed Neal Casal Music Foundation. A documentary film about Neal by Justin Kreutzmann was also confirmed. And here’s the interview I did with Neal last Spring.

#3—Inside the Musician’s Brain featuring Bill Nershi and Andy Falco. In the latest episode, Chris Pandolfi goes deep with two bluegrass leaders. One is his bandmate and guitar master Andy Falco, and the other is Bill Nershi, founding member of the String Cheese Incident, one of the most influential rock/acoustic/jam bands in recent history. Really great double episode that goes deep into bluegrass in many ways. Here’s a link to The Hitchhiker, featuring Andy’s amazing guitar work.

#4—We’re getting new Grateful Dead releases! We heard via JamBase that The Dead will release the June 1976 box set via Rhino on March 20. The five-show, 15-CD collection features recordings made by engineer Betty Jackson-Cantor that recently were added to the band’s archives. And here’s the link to the latest 36 from the Vault, where Steven and Rob dive into Dick’s Picks 3.

#5—Festival Circuit season 1 is officially in production. This week I spent time in New Orleans talking to people like Anders Osborne, Papa Mali, Ben Jaffe of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Jay Mazza, who wrote a book on the music of the city, and many more. The first season of this podcast, which launches in April, will be devoted to the jazz music and festival of New Orleans. And we end this episode with a little jazz music we recorded on this trip.

The Drop is brought to you by Osiris Media, hosted, produced and edited by RJ Bee. The Drop is brought to you by CashorTrade, and Osiris Media works in partnership with JamBase. Until next time…

5 Things You Need to Know—w/Joe Russo Interview—2/7/20

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:00:00 -0000

Welcome back! 5 things you need to know, including a new album and interview from Joe Russo.

#1—Mountain Jam 2020 lineup released, via JamBase. Great lineup this year, including Trey Anastasio Band, Gov’t Mule, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Greensky Bluegrass, Yola, Hiss Golden Messenger and Andy Frasco & The U.N. It’ll also include a celebration of the late Levon Helm’s 80th birthday featuring The Midnight Ramble Band and special guests.

#2—The Rolling Stones are heading back on tour in 2020. Embarking on the “No Filter” tour across North America, with a few Canadian dates as well. These guys are still at it! You can get details here.

#3—Tapes Archive with Neil Peart. The Tapes Archive is back with a new season, and the first episode is out now, which is the 2nd interview that journalist Marc Allen had with Rush drummer Neil Peart. As everyone knows, Peart passed away last year, and this interview is a great summary of what a smart and unique guy he was. He talks about how he’s become comfortable with a random universe, the strength of the individual, talking philosophy with his friends, and how he convinced the band to add a rap to one of their songs.

#4—Politics of Truth premiere. The new podcast hosted by Avett Brothers bassist Bob Crawford. If you follow politics, you’ll want to check this out. Episode 1 is out now. Given the craziness of the Iowa Caucuses, Bob talks with Bob Costa of The Washington Post about implications for the race as the candidates move on to New Hampshire, and whether the Iowa Caucus can survive intact for future election cycles.

#5—Joe Russo has a new album out! We spoke with Joe as he’s releasing his album pherboney, this week. We talked about the inspiration for this album, his first solo work in almost 15 years. We also talked a bit about JRAD and some other topics. We also share 2 tracks off of the album. You can buy the album here, read more about his inspiration and transcendental meditation here, and check out the book he talked about, which he said helped immensely with his shoulder recovery.
