Charlie Musselwhite Interview (TVC)

Saturday, August 6th, 2022 by The Professor

Charlie Musselwhite Album Cover The Volcano Chronicles Host Daniel Jones sat down with the incredible, legendary blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite to talk about his new album and amazing career playing with virtually every major blues musician.

Moving from Mississippi to Chicago along with thousands of others chasing factory jobs, he wound up immersed in the musical scene of the south side of town. Its hard to overstate Charlie’s influence on the revival of Chicago Blues in the 1960’s and his ongoing influence on players today. A great time was had by all 🙂

Bonham-Bullick Band Interview (TVC)

Thursday, July 14th, 2022 by The Professor

Daniel Jones, host of The Volcano Chronicles Wednesdays 7-9pm (Eastern and Hawaiian) sat down with Deborah Bonham and Peter Bullick of the Bonham-Bullick Band to talk about their new self-titled album, life on the road, famous relatives and doing it on your own. You may recognize her name from her lesser known sibling John. Rumor had it he played drums in some band once upon a time…

Deborah’s strong vocals have put her in the front of huge audiences with a ton of classic rock artists and Peter’s guitar work led to a world tour with Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, The Firm, Queen…).

Zepparella Interview (TVC)

Tuesday, July 12th, 2022 by The Professor

Daniel Jones, host of The Volcano Chronicles (Wednedays 7-9pm EST and HST) sat down for a chat with the amazing Clementine, drummer and founder of the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band Zepparella. They explored a lot of aspects of music, talent and managing a band as well as the life of a tribute band that does things a little differently. Clementine has a lot of thump as a drummer and trying to replicate the sounds of John Bonham is no small task! A great chat and a fantastic band. Definitely check them out after giving this one a listen! And check out their musical coaching channels for some cool insights.

Tuesday, April 5th, 2022 by The Professor

DJ Mike the Psych, now green-thumbed alumna Mike Vuoto, has a (possibly unhealthy) thing for Peter Frampton’s album Frampton Comes Alive, and it’s led him to some cool stuff. Among the things it has led to are some great seats at shows and several great chats with Frampton’s longtime manager Donnie Lewis. Here is the one when they finally did it as an official interview!

The collection includes some great local artists who have also played live shows for WLOY (PLRLS, F City, Little Lungs…) and some newcomers bound for great things. It was a fantastic experience getting to hear James’ story working with musicians in the Baltimore area and beyond. (more…)
