Episode 189 - Red Shaydez
Red Shaydez is a Do-It-Yourself-er whose name I have heard countless times over the past few years. She is a busy woman and talent. A hip-hop artist, producer, videographer, public speaker, educator, and youth mentor, Red has been nominated and/or won several Boston Music Awards including Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, 617 Session artist of the year and I am sure there are many more coming. I had the opportunity to sit with her on a rainy day at The Record Co in their brand-new facility, which is gorgeous. I was also fortunate to have a former guest - the awesome Brandie Blaze - join me as a cohost, which is why this episode is a two part-er. I had a great time talking to Red and Brandie – The first episode is just Red and yours truly – part two is when Brandie Blaze enters the room and then we really start talking some sh**t. Argh. Sorry. Potty mouth.

Episode 188 - Justine Covault -Red On Red Records
Right when I first started ATB in 2016, emails asking to be a guest were few and far between. One of the first requests I ever got that year was from my next guest, who I never actually met until this past summer. Musician Justine Covault had herself just started her band Justine and The Unclean. She’s someone who gets stuff done. From co-founding female-fronted rock festival WhistleStop Rock to starting a monthly residency at The Plough And Stars with 'The Mess Around', Justine has ventured into new territory with her new label Red On Red Records. Her support and enthusiasm for the Boston music community and for her roster of (mostly) Boston bands are infectious, so much so that the great Sir David Minehan of The Neighborhoods and Woolly Mammoth Sound is collaborating with her to offer Red Mammoth Concerts. I’ll let her tell the story. I just wish she had an extra swizzle stick to give me.

Episode 187 - Linnea Herzog
Linnea Herzog is someone you don’t miss when you walk by her. Or see on stage. And I would surmise at her day job as a neuroscientist at The Broad Institute, you can’t miss her there either. Musicians are smart. But some are smarter than others, especially when you get a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Brandeis University where Linnea studied how taste and spatial information are processed in the rodent hippocampus. Anyways, Linnea is all punk and glam and a fearless rock star. Having got to the Rock and Roll Rumble finals in 2019 with her former band Powerslut, when the pandemic hit, she decided to go in a new direction with her new band Linnea’s Garden. Linnea is a do-it-yourselfer, and she certainly does it all. Her debut EP, “Nowhere Friday Nights,” is out now on Red on Red Records and she is preparing to release a full length shortly. I hoped to publish this episode before they played at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA, but life got in the way a bit. So while I missed the opportunity to plug her Sinclair show, she already has several more lined up this fall. I was able to get a recording from the Sinclair show that you can hear at the end of this conversation, so make sure you stay for that! Linnea was a great chat and I had a fantastic time talking to her.
