Friggin Fabulous Radio

I met Mary Solberg five or six years ago in Manhattan's West Village when I was booking Path Cafe and Caffe Vivaldi. I was blown away by her voice and style and booked her as soon as I could and did my first Friggin Fabulous Radio interview with her a few years back. Her new EP, "Just Enough Time" is a triumphant production featuring many of the people in the NYC Rock and Folk scene. It covers everything from short term relationships to the frustration of text "ghosting." Mari travels back and forth from her hometown of Oslo, Norway to New York City as often as she can and usually plays a few shows when in the NYC area. You can find her music on iTunes, Spotify and all the other places you find quality music.

Critically acclaimed author, Gray Basnight is a good friend of mine and a former co-worker in NYC News Radio. His new novel, "Flight of the Fox" is a fascinating "run for your life" thriller that tells the story of College professor Sam Teagarden, who stumbles upon a decades-old government cover-up when an encoded document mysteriously lands in his in-box, followed by a cluster of mini-drones programmed to kill him. Gray and I talk about his writing career, legalization of Marijuana, the current state of affairs throughout the world and more!

I rarely get to interview musicians who's albums I've played on and mastered, so sitting down with Terry Haman was a real thrill! Terry has been a staple in the Jersey City music scene for many years now, and is one of the most talented singer/songwriters in the NYC/North Jersey region. I met Terry about 10 years ago when he came to play at my open mic and we quickly became best friends. He started out as a solo artist, but now has an incredible band with the likes of Ralph Capasso, Josh Mizrucchi and Jeff Sutton. His new album "Suburbia Drive" is a masterpiece. I suggest downloading from CD Baby as soon as you're done reading this blurb...

Ross Sandler is one of the funkiest and funniest Mofos I know-not to mention super talented! His new album "Don't Stop" is guaranteed to make you move your feet and is good for the soul as well. The songs are brilliantly arranged, thanks in no small part to Ross and John Roccesano. I had the double pleasure of mastering this project and sitting down with Ross.

I had the honor of introducing this super talented dude as "Francis Falls" for the first time at the Friggin Fabulous Brunch Showcase at Caffe Vivaldi. His hauntingly beautiful songs tend to get stuck in your head (in a very good way). Mississippi Cotten also did a couple of songs during this set, which was an unexpected treat! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011541675459&fref=ts *Download the Friggin Fabulous Radio app in The Amazon App Store!
