Sean McConnell is a wonderfully gifted artist. His songs have been sung by artists like Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Christina Aguilera, Buddy Miller, Rascal Flatts, Plain White T's, Brad Paisley, and others. Behind the songs recorded by these artist... more
In this second and final segment of my interview with White Heart vocalist, Rick, Ric, Rikk, Riq, Ricke, Rhic, Rikcq, Ricque Florian we dig into how the band would painstakingly polish their songs before heading to the studio, and the time Rick didn'... more
I began listening to White Heart in about 1986, nearly 40 years ago. There is much to love about them. As a fan of well written songs, White Heart has always been in the upper echelon for me. Add top notch musicianship, arranging and production, lyri... more
For decades Fernando Ortega has written and recorded songs and hymns that are filled with profound spiritual truths, great doctrine, that are arranged in beauty and sung with authenticity. I had the pleasure of chatting with Fernando on a Spring afte... more
Pure Prairie League, along with bands like The Eagles, helped create the Country/Rock blend that launched in the early 1970s. Along with the genre defining hit, "Aimee," Pure Prairie League has cemented its legacy by creating a catalogue of music tha... more
Jesse Terry is one of those artists that stopped me in my tracks. From the first time I played his new album, "Arcadia," I knew I had stumbled upon a very special artist. Jesse's songwriting is simply incredible- both melodically and lyrically. Add t... more
There are interviews, and there are interviews. This is a conversation that I will never forget. In this concluding portion of my chat with Russ Taff, we pick up where we left off in part one, where I asked Russ if his 1987 self-titled album was a cr... more
No one in the world has a voice like Russ Taff. With 6 Grammys to his name and more Dove Awards than one could count, Russ has nothing left to prove in the world of music. With all of that success to stand on, Russ has recorded an album that is as re... more
I just found this podcast and really love the content. Been a big fan of CCM music over the years (since the ‘80s) and have loved hearing from some of my favorite artists and the backstories on them, their music, songs, etc. Looking forward to hearing more of these! Thanks for producing this podcast.
The various topics and guests keeps me engaged and continuing to listen. The sound quality is also appreciated and helps those of us with listening challenges. Thank you to the host, the guests, and to all who participate in the production of each episode.
I love the vibe of this show and the way that Bryan gets artists to open up about so many aspects of the process.
Bryan always asks the best questions and then lets his guests take the conversation from there. Love listening to each new episode.
Awesome interview with John Schlitt!!
Loved the way that you as an interviewer engaged with him and allowed hike to speak❤️
Keep up the Good work brother!!
Love listening to musicians talk behind the scenes about their music, careers, recording process etc. Especially enjoyed the Blue Water Highway episode - love their songs, especially “Medicine Man”. Thanks Bryan!
I was pulled in by Bryan’s episodes with Glen Phillips, and boy am I glad I gave it a try! Perhaps the best interview I’ve heard with GP. Bryan comes at the interview in an engaging and informed way. His style is also transparent, sounding less like a formal interview than an insightful conversation. Nicely teased out some of the interesting band dynamics of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Highly recommend starting with the two GP episodes and going from there. Give it a listen!
Bryan Frazier gives music lovers a gift by zooming in on the lives, inspirations and and passions of todays artists. In listening to the conversations, one comes away with a better understanding that music and songwriting is more a process of discovery than of invention; that the songwriter bares his soul to the criticisms and subjective tastes of his listener with no guarantee that he will be accepted. What a gift, indeed!
Loving this podcast. Bryan's intimate knowledge of the artist's repertoire encourages them to bring revealing insights when discussing their work. You feel like you are sitting at the table during the conversation.
Enjoy.
What a wonderful contribution to the music world. Love the spotlights, conversations & genuine love for music portrayed within each podcast. Brilliantly put together. Thank you !
I’ve known Bee a long time and he’s a great interviewer! I was rather impressed with episode 1 and can not wait to take a bite out of 2 & 3! He brings to light what drives the musician to be a musician and what inspires them. JOURNEY TO THE STAGE is a great journey indeed! Enjoy. I did. Keep them coming Bee!
