new episode w everyone’s crush  @tomberlinnnn  up “Secular Music For The Single Pringle Soul” 🍲 serving up steaming hot chicken soup for the happily lonelygurls 💜🫵 time sensitive deets in the show like where to see her  @angelolsenmusic  tour “ambient road doc”!

Bilingual singing, slipping into headliner DMs, and getting big in Japan.  @mei_semones  Putting the (gen)Z in jazZ!

when my gf started coming back home on weeknights sweaty and horny from “line” at a Ukrainian restaurant, I needed to get to the bottom of it. turns out, it’s an extremely cute bottom and wears cowboy boots. tune in while  @cassandrajenkins  and I learn about the transcendence of two-stepping and the cut-off wearing, good-hearted, floor stomping line dance cult that  @tenayakelleher  leads!

Get ready for juice, spice and a heartfelt chat with legendary A&R Katie Garcia (Dead Oceans, Bayonet Records, Capitol Records, Captured Tracks).

Richard Julian is an accomplished musician, songwriter, and a helluva mixologist and businessman. Nine years ago he opened Bar LunÀtico in Bed-Stuy with two other musicians.

We talked about a 365-day songwriting challenge that he undertook to make his most recent album, balancing bar ownership, being a father, and his own music-m...

Rich is a TikTok sensation with the voice of an angel.

He shells out some tips about building up a Patreon presence and has as definitive an answer as anyone about which city is better for musicians (NYC or LA). Tune in for name dropping, letting your comedic freak flag fly, world...

In conversation with guitar extraordinaire Gilad Hekselman. I interrogated him about how one gets a gig at the Village Vanguard. We talked pre-performance rituals as well as keeping up a rigorous practice regime with two kids at home, nerding out about real-time composition, quarter note triplets, and lessons with legends like Ari Hoenig and Sam Yahel. Stay tuned for confessions of his own experie...

Insatiably curious jazz singer-songwriter Dida Pelled lets loose on the world of crooners and storytellers in this hour-long conversation/listening party. Each week we will meet someone special to Dida, a musician or just anyone, and interrogate them on their inspirations and what moves them in life. If we're lucky we'll get to witness and steal one of their singing tricks ;) 

Honored to have had Monica Martin on the Dida Show! talking very openly about singing, love, and the touch of the ‘tism ❤️
