Musician Metaphysics

Welcome to “Musician Metaphysics.” This is Episode 12, and I’m your host, ready to dive deep into the intersections of music and the forces that shape our world. Today, we have a special episode lined up with two remarkable guests who bring a rich blend of artistry and entrepreneurship. Joining us is Tilney Earhart, a maestro on the keyboards whose melodies can narrate stories all on their own. And with him, Travis Fields, a former bar owner and a connoisseur of both music and the moments that make or break our cultural landscapes. I met Tilney through the vibrant nights at Travis’s bar, a place where chords and conversations flowed freely. Together, we’ll explore how music not only reflects but also influences the geopolitical climate, among other things. So, tune in, as we harmonize the complex tunes of discussion on music and geopolitics.

Welcome to Musician Metaphysics Episode 11! Today, we're mixing it up with the extraordinary Brigett Owens, the heart and soul of Brigett and her Bandoliers of Kansas City. I crossed paths with Brigett back in 2019 and, let me tell you, it didn’t take a detective to realize she was a star in the making. Not only does she wield her voice like a sorceress of blues, but she's also a supermom who can light up a room with her laughter and an ever-present smile. We're chatting about the real stuff: music, the rollercoaster of relationships, the joys and juggling acts of parenting, and those ex's – And hold on, we’re not just stopping there. We're also exploring the realms of meditation and religious practices, because who says rockstars can't be zen? Expect sarcasm, heartfelt stories, and maybe a few notes that hit as deep as your last breakup. Brigett is here to prove that life, much like blues, is a melody of highs, lows, and the art of bouncing back. So, tune in, get comfortable (maybe not too comfortable if you're driving), and let's get metaphysical with the one and only Brigett Owens!

Welcome to Musician Metaphysics. Today, we’re physched to have a guest who’s as smooth on the bass as he was in his telecommunications career. Straight from Brooklyn, this Italian maestro swapped high-stakes communications for soulful bass lines. We’ve jammed together since the end of 2019, and his transition from the office to the spotlight has been nothing short of a groovy saga. Recently retired, he’s here to share his tale, including a heart-stopping episode and his comeback that’s as strong as his bass riffs. He’s the kind of guy who makes every gig feel like a breeze with his charm and skill. So, buckle up for a chat that’s a mix of dark humor and heartfelt stories. Our guest today is proof that true talent and resilience can turn life’s bass notes into a symphony. If there is any thing this lovable dude lacks it’s small dick energy. Ladies and Gents, Frank Minolfo.

Today, I’m  honored to host a musician whose essence mirrors the profound and resonates with the serious—Jaisson Taylor. A Kansas City's own, Jaisson's rhythmic journey has intertwined with the beats of diverse cultures across the globe. Yet, amidst the global rhythm, he’s nurtured a bond with the local youth, guiding the next generation toward unearthing their inner harmonies. I crossed paths with Jaisson in 2019, and the resonance was immediate. His extraordinary vocal tenor, paired with his rhythmic mastery on the drums, complements the essence of what we aim to dissect today. Our camaraderie on and off the stage often leads to enlightening exchanges, a taste of which we bring to you today. Join us, as Jaisson and I navigate through the melodies and dissonances of today's pressing realities, right here on Musician Metaphysics. Your journey into the profound, underscored by the serious yet soulful rhythm of reality, begins now.

Welcome to Musician Metaphysics. Fasten your seatbelts and put on your darkest shades, because you're about to dive headfirst into the twisted, rhythmic universe of Antonio "Tony" Reyes. Ah, Tony—our very own musical shaman, a fourth-generation beatmaster  who has been marinating in a cocktail of jazz, mariachi, and funk since he was in diapers.  Tony swings both ways—drums and bass—and he swings hard, like a jazz-infused wrecking ball.  Nowadays, he's all over the Kansas City metro, and involved in many projects. His main gig however is laying down the groove for Stranded in the City, a band so funky even JB would be proud.  So, pour yourself a stiff drink, or roll up a hooter, and prepare to be sonically seduced. You're listening to the podcast where music and metaphysics collide, and Tony Reyes is your cosmic conductor. Oh, and he’s a hell of a guitar tech to boot!
