Just Us! Music Videos with Chris and Steef PODCAST

The life of a successful musician requires more than lots of practice and tons of cd sales. In our podcast, we've heard that success is much more about the inner discipline of a performer than the pursuit of the next gig and standing ovations. You'll love Carla's wise and thoughtful perspective of that inner journey. After a 30-year hiatus from the professional folk music world, her brand new CD, Life of a Swan, has been winning awards, critical acclaim and maintaining high standing on the Folk charts. Her success may be notable-- but not at all surprising because of her lifelong pursuit of inner growth and personal work. Welcome Carla Sciaky back for her second visit with Just Us!

David Roth is the consummate folksinger! He’s been making a life and a living out of songwriting and performing for over 35 years, and in our Just Us! Music Videos Podcast interview, he lets us in on the joy and the beauty and the profound value he finds in sharing his music with the world. David Roth is the real deal -- and a personal hero of ours. You’ll enjoy this little talk!

We’re always saying that the goal of our Just Us! Music Videos podcast is to help you get your music out into the world.

Daniel shares his insights gleaned from years as a musician with Chariots and Charioteers, and tips on the best ways to use social media to get your music out there!

Join us for an hour's conversation with this year's headliner at the Moab Folk Festival: Sam Bush. This mandolin master has it all -- charm, humor, insight into bluegrass AND newgrass during his 50-year career, and boy, can he make that mandolin sing. Chris Sealy (from Just Us!) is the lucky one who gets to ask the questions.

Audigo is an easy to use little mic that allows you to capture excellent sound and video on your phone! 

We're loving this new song and we're especially thrilled with the Audigo mic that we used to capture this performance. We recorded this behind our cabin-- if you listen carefully, you hear a little whisper from North Boulder Creek which is 20 yards away. I hope you'll notice the quality and stereo separation of this little modern wonder. Enjoy!
