Hello, listeners. The That’s Soundacious podcast got overtaken by other events in my life. Maybe it will return one day, but in the meantime I’ve posted all the episodes on Soundcloud for your enjoyment. Here’s a quick list of the whole set.
This is the first of a series of shorter, music-intensive shows featuring live performances from last year’s Southwest Regional Folk Alliance in Austin, TX. In this episode, James Lee Stanley and John Batdorfshowcase their acoustic versions of Rolling Stones classics. Their 2005 CD is called All Wood and Stones.
This year’s SWRFA is just around the corner, September 27-30. To learn more or get tickets, go to swrfa.com.
On the last day of the Kerrville Folk Festival, here’s a recording from the first song circle of the year at Camp Stupid. Sociology professor Dr. Lori Holyfield lays down some musical wisdom.
Visit Dr. Holyfield’s page at U of Arkansas to learn about the Veterans Oral History Project.
This episode, we sit in on the First-Timers showcases at the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (SWRFA) and talk with Charlie Stewart of Handshake Management. Includes live recorded tunes from the following artists:
Charlie Stewart’s Handshake Management has offered to answer any management questions listeners might have. Email Charlie at Handshakemgt@aol.com and mention That’s Soundacious in the subject line.
For this episode, John Voorhees sets up his microphone in the lobby of the Austin Midtown Holiday Inn during registration for the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance music conference (SWRFA). Among the passing players are Tom Corbett, Rob Lytle, Jim Jones, John Scholten and 2 Bit Palomino. We also talk with organizer Dalis Allen about the difference between SWRFA and Kerrville Folk Festival (which she also coordinates).
We return with a groovy, ghoulie Halloween episode, featuring monstrous melodies from Kyle Howe, John & Tanya, Joe McClure and Butch Morgan, plus keyboard creepies from Julie Bonk and a little harmonic salvation from Brother Sun!
Tomorrow morning I’m heading off to the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance in Austin! Here’s where we stand.
David Allan plays in the Austin area, and I’m still looking to find a good link for him. Great song, though.
Joanna Howerton of the Hill Country Penguins rocks Camp Stupid at the Kerrville Folk Festival with the help of Gary Sapone’s searing harmonica.
If you’re a subscriber to the podcast (and if you aren’t, why aren’t you?), then you may have noticed a change to the release schedule this week. Up until now, I’ve been releasing 30-40 minute episodes every 2 weeks. But suddenly the shows are shorter and more frequent. What up wid dat?
It’s a new little sumpin-sumpin I’m calling the Fun-Size episodes, named after the mini-candy bars one tends to get in one’s Halloween bag. My September is booked tighter than usual with opportunities to collect more music and interviews for the ‘cast, which means less time to sit down for hours and produce a carefully crafted, thematically linked episode. Fun-Size shows are one-song specials, and I can get them done much more quickly. I’ll be releasing two a week, Mondays and Thursdays, until the end of October.
Originally, this was just going to be a stopgap measure, but I’ve gotten enough positive feedback on the Fun-Size format already that I think I’ll keep it around. Maybe I’ll release full-size and Fun-Size on alternate weeks? What do you think?
