Episode 625: Storyteller – Paige Beller

By | September 19th, 2018|Podcast|

“Very few musicians can deliver songs that are emotionally vulnerable and simultaneously epic. Very few activists can help organize massive events like Ladyfest Dayton but also find time to tour and juggle multiple bands. Very few people can radiate boundless creativity and power, while still maintaining their inherently friendly, humble nature. Paige Beller captures all of these qualities and more in her songwriting, live performances, and attitude. 

Deeply rooted in Dayton, OH’s eclectic music scene for well over a decade, she returns with her newest solo EP, Paige Beller…Space Cadet. Like the five of her other major releases, these songs sting you straight in the heart and rock your soul. Imagine drifting endlessly through outer space, with only a strange concoction of thoughts and feelings to entertain you. The live set is equally dynamic, as Beller deploys everything in her instrumental arsenal; from acoustic and electric guitars, to drum kits, a tiny piano, and of course, her iconic voice.

Stream the new EP and book Paige Beller in your city pronto.” – Andrew Humphrey, Contributing Writer at Ghettoblaster Magazine

Episode 621: Music Conversation with Tony Moore and Brian Spirk

By | September 10th, 2018|Podcast|

This is a fun episode with Brian Spirk and Tony Moore, two of our favorite Dayton musicians! Not only are they talented musicians, they are two of the most genuinely sweet guys on the scene. They aren’t in a band together, or even play the same style of music – but we discovered these two had a connection Spirk gave Moore guitar lessons when he was a teen. The backstory of how these two influenced each other was became a mission for our co-host Libby Ballengee. In this casual and relaxed conversation, Libby learns about their meeting, and their subsequent experiences as musicians and Daytonians.
About Brian Spirk: Brian performs mandolin and sings with local bands The Great Northern String Band, The Repeating Arms, Nasty Bingo, This Must Be the Party (Talking Heads tribute) and others as the go-to mandolin player in Dayton. His favorite food is bacon wrapped water chestnuts.
The Great Northern String Band: http://www.greatnorthernstringband.com The Repeating Arms: https://therepeatingarms.bandcamp.com/
This Must Be the Party: https://www.facebook.com/smsdayton/
About Tony Moore: Tony plays guitar for The Boxcar Suite, a group that consists of studied and accomplished musicians who’ve long been staples of the Dayton, Ohio, musical landscape, play thoughtful rock ‘n’ roll. Their songs are designed to enlighten as well as entertain, and deliver on a self-imposed band/fan contract that positive vibes are paramount and experimentation and musicianship will exceed even the highest listener expectations.
On their latest effort, Across The Vast & Deep, the band allows their power-pop, guitar- centric sensibilities to meander through a variety of genres and inspirations, from psychedelia to country and from folk to glam. Although the band isn’t reinventing the wheel, it is clear the group is covering some new ground.

Episode 619: The Typical Johnsons presents In other Words

By | September 5th, 2018|Podcast|

The Typical Johnsons are a Folk/Americana/Roots Rock hybrid from Minster, Ohio. GCP host/producer Izzy Rock traveled to Minster to chat with the band about their 2018 release “In Other Words”, a nine song EP produced by Patrick Times and recorded at Reel Love Recording Studio in Dayton. The first half of the podcast is Izzy catching up with the band and the second half is Izzy playing five songs from the new release.

Long – time friends Jeremy and Lynne began practicing and writing music in 2012 and at the time, neither of them had been playing for more than a year. Knowing only that the lyrics that they were writing could be drawn directly from their lives, they learned on the go preferring to gain experience by playing live shows. Described by listeners as a Folk/ Americana / Roots Rock hybrid in the DIY tradition; the lyrical content is the focal point of all the original songs. Delving into the familiar territory of a life lived, relationships and past success/regrets the music through the filter of both artists attempts to take on a life of its own.

Drawing on influences from old Americana artists as well as modern Songwriters the duo tries to maintain the feeling involved with each topic they write about putting their own personal spin on each of the genres they cross.

Maintaining a “bare bones” approach as much as possible and focusing primarily on the lyrics, in each song they attempt to show a snapshot from the story of a life.

Jeremy and Lynne’s first release, the full length album “Drawing Blood” was released in March of 2015 and for the next year Jeremy and Lynne continued to perform live as a duo, booking and writing and making new connections. Within the same release year Jeremy and Lynne were also the proud recipients of the Ohio Music Award for “Best Folk Song” in 2015; for the track “Inside My Head” off of Drawing Blood.

Hitting the studio in early 2016 the duo reformed themselves as “JL & The Typical Johnsons” which feature the brothers Andy and Jeff Brogan on lead guitar and bass guitar. In 2016 The Typical Johnsons released “The Sailor & The Siren” a six song (plus two bonus tracks) EP highlighting what their songs can be with the new lineup.

Episode 616: Storyteller – Mark Joshua

By | August 29th, 2018|Podcast|

Mark Joshua is a 22 year old acoustic singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ohio. Mark grew up listening to a wide variety of musical genres, each of which has shaped his musical palette and mind in some way. He has been compared to artists such as Damien Rice, Ed Sheeran, and Tracy Chapman. As a songwriter, his stories/narratives change in subject, however there is a common thread: we are human. We all have feelings. We all care about certain things/people. We all want to achieve happiness. We can relate. Music is Mark’s way of relating to people. He recently released an EP called Cookies and Wine.
