Liam Grant

 

Greetings Dead Freaks!

We are back with guest Liam Grant, a fine guitar player and composer int he American Primitive tradition. We discuss his background, his new record, and touring. I also take a minute to discuss a couple recent albums that I've enjoyed and, of course, we've got a dose of Grateful Dead.

You can find Liam Grant's album, "Amoskeag" via Carbon Records at Bandcamp or via Feeding Tube Records. He's also got a couple 7" records out now which you can find via Liam's Bandcamp page. I've got all of this stuff myself and highly recommend it. You should also consider following his Instagram page for tour dates and whatnot.

Matt LaJoie

 

Greetings, Dead Freaks!

On this episode, I am proud to have Matt LaJoie join me to discuss his work as a guitarist, an improviser, and more. We unpack his many projects, dive into his history and that of his label, Flower Room Records and manage to spin a little music along the way. Also in this episode, I shamelessly plug my own upcoming album, and we manage to get a hefty dose of weird and wonderful Grateful Dead.


You can find Matt LaJoie's vast catalog on the Bandcamp page for his label, Flower Room Records. His upcoming releases (Such as "Lilac of The Valley", out October 6!) will be there soon and the recent release, "On Garudan Wing" can be found directly here. Additionally Matt mentioned a few other projects such as his brother's group, Heron Hemingway and his own group, Water Babies. Do check those out.

The depth of the Flower Room Records catalog is impressive and well worth your time. It's worth noting that the vinyl pressings are always lovely sounding and beautiful.

As mentioned at the top of the show, my latest album, "So Below" comes out on October 6. You can find it on my bandcamp page, jmhart.bandcamp.com. There are CDs, lathe-cut LPs and, digital downloads available.
