In this episode I chat with guitarist, Jeremy Kizina, about his return to guitar and his recent release "Our Ghosts Follow". We dig into his background as a touring musician, his wide-ranging influences, and, of course, the Grateful Dead. I sneak in a couple of new music recommendations at the top of the show and there's a terrific mix of Dead in the back half.
The excellent new podcast "The Female Bob Dylan" is a few promising episodes in and I highly recommend it. Writer, researcher & producer Sophie Abramowitz, artist & musician Sarah Bachman, and folklorist, writer & (terrific record label) SPINSTER co-owner Emily Hilliard explore singer-songwriters who have been shouldered with this title. Please do check out there show wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
I mentioned a few of the many recent releases from The Modern Folk in the intro this episode. "Serf Punk", a singer-songwriter-ish album that I love, was first. Click here to check it out. "Primitive Future III" follows and that one, quite different to "Serf Punk", is largely instrumental. Proceeds from that release are being routed into Hurricane Helene relief and you can find it here. And the last one, which is also the newest one, "Crater Family" from The Modern Folk Trio Band can be picked up on vinyl here.My own album, "As We Know It" came out on September 17 on CD and digital DL via my bandcamp page JMHart.Bandcamp.com as well as on the various streaming services. I do hope you'll check it out, take it in, and enjoy it.
