Today on the show I’m sitting down with three original singer-songwriters who need little introduction, but we’ll give ‘em one anyways. Anthony Frijia, Jules Riser and Rich Presberry Jr. all surf the original and cover world circuits, and as a result have become staples in the Mid-Atlantic music scene. Anthony has a folksy, blues sound, as where Jules Riser is a child of the 90’s and Rich, possibly the 80’s. They all have developed large followings and have earned their spot in the sun...

Today on the show I’m sitting down with three well-oiled and seasoned local, original artists from none other than Harford County, Maryland. These three pickled lads have run the gauntlet, from covers to originals and have provided inspiration to countless up-and-coming artists.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with the man, the myth and the legend of everyone’s favorite local sandwich shop and burger joint, Vagabond Sandwich Company, Mr. Ben Meyers. Ben remains unconventional, unpolitical and authentically himself. His style is the happy blend of rustic and urban, garnished with gobs of fun. Beneath it all, and something he’d likely downplay, is a hidden layer of business acumen that has made him successful in all of his pursuits. He's a fun-lo...

Go Betty Go has been a staple in the West Coast music scene for over 20 years. Yes, 20 years; partying and rockin’ alongside bands like The Dollyrots, Bad Mary, The Muffs and more.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with the president and founding member of the local Scottfield Theatre Company, Ms. Becky Titelman, along with two of the stars of the upcoming musical, School of Rock, featuring Lucky Marino and Liz Marion. All three have a lot of experience in theater and know how to put on a quality production. I’ve known and worked with Becky for a lot of years. If there’s one thing you can count on, she isn’t going to have her name on or associated with an...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with enough folk-rock heart to convince even the most cynical musician into believing, ‘Rock n’ Roll didn’t die, our priorities did.’ I’ve often said that rock n’ roll isn’t a genre, it's an invocation of social change, with one’s heart on full display. It’s as much punk rock as it is soul. I can’t think of three original artists who carry the torch of being genuine singer-songwriters to the Olympic flame more than Shelby Blondell, ...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with a local up-and-coming alternative rock n’ roll group who call themselves Made From Meteors.

I remember talking to Lisa at the genesis of Double Groove Brewing and could tell they had big plans, and this wasn’t a ‘Flash in the Pan’ idea; it was something that would eventually take Harford County by storm and, in a ...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with a singer, songwriter, podcaster and production house, Mr. Brett Buehler. Brett has had a wild year and made a lot of waves with his Part-Time Rockstar podcast, but has also overcame some personal injuries and struggles that he’s shared privately with me. When he’s not strummin’ and hummin’ or interviewing one of the areas top talents, he’s probably saving a life or on the ice playing hockey or wishing he was. He’s a down-to-earth guy who g...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with singer, songwriter and local inspiration, Allie Post. Allie has a soulful affect and isn’t afraid to tackle hot button topics with her soft, melodic voice and guitar. Much like a songbird, she’s always singing her heart out, whether she has an audience or not. I recently had Allie onto the Mouthful of Graffiti Podcast LIVE at Reb Records and she blew me away with her candor, lyrical composition and professional performance. For someone just...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with three artists with very different musical backgrounds with a common thread, songwriting. Allie Post, the youngest of the three, has a folksy approach and has just started to climb the mountain of local rock n’ roll legends. Josiah Orsie is already one of those icons. He is an alternative rocker, best known for his beloved, innovative, moody rock act, Tears of Mars. Another legend, E. Joseph, has been playing music since he knew there was mu...

Behind every artist is a story and for these three, there’s a lot more than meets t...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with the talented marketer, photographer and supporter of local music, Ms. Emily Adolph. If you’ve lived in Harford County, you’ve probably seen Emily out and about, capturing the moment or helping a local business paint the picture of their latest event; framing their mission statement with an indelible memory. I’ve known Emily for decades. One thing that remains constant is her heart, lust for life and attention to detail. She’s a good-hearted person with ...

Today on the show I’m sitting down with a man with a decorated Mid-Atlantic resume who has seemingly played with every local musician that has ever considered becoming a professional musician. He’s played in bands like Rosabella, Carbonstone, Lockemy and a lot more and is accepting now jobs. One thing that can’t be overstated is that when he’s involved, success follows. When’s not hitting the skins, he’s hunting, spending time with his son and wife Jessica or finding other ways to make...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with two very talented cast members from Phoenix Festival Theater’s The SpongeBob Musical, Eric Bray and Lindsey Galicki. Both have an unquenchable passion for live theater and a resume a mile long. They can morph into their roles as if they were born to be the characters they embody.

He’s a craftsman, maker of ‘Awesome handmade furniture for awesomer people,’ with Industrial Imperfections, a talented drummer, for local greats, The Last Year and 90’s alternative rock heroes, Candlebox, a coffee enthusiast and enough personality to make the seaport sailor blush.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with the mastermind behind the viral sensation, “Taste the Biscuit” and the producer, writer and creator of the movie that spawned it all, Chickens in the Shadow. Also in the shadows, Vincent Gargiulo is somewhat of a dreamer whose brand of music is comedic, theatrical, zany and fitting for a Broadway spectacle. I was introduced to Vincent by way of my previous guests, Tom Shaw and Estelle Piper of “Taste the Biscuit” fame and quickly realized the extent of ...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with the viral sensation best known for their hit song, “Taste the Biscuit”. What you may not know about Toasters ‘n’ Moose is the story behind this quirky thrift shop jam and just how much really went into making this tasty pastry. From acting instructor at the Synergy Theater in Berkely, California to carving out a living as a professional musician for 40 years, this dynamic duo knows how to put on a show and, just as Toasters so eloquently put in the mo...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with another powerhouse vocalist from the Mid-Atlantic touring alternative rock group that calls itself Any Given Sin. His name is Victor Ritchie and he’s here today to talk about their new album ‘War Within.’ Their music takes the inner turmoil and trappings of the human spirit and provides a audio soundtrack to our Earthly years – an escape hatch from madness that we’re forced to traverse on any given day.

The Big Takeover magazine puts him somewhere between Billie Joe Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, but that’s only if we’re to forget about Frank Zappa and Mike Patton.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with singer-songwriter, pianist and artist, Ainsley Rice McGray. Ainsely is able to communicate deep emotion, by diving right into her soul and pulling out the most uncomfortable feelings, kickin’ or screaming. Her music is as mysterious, heartfelt and powerful as Ainsley herself.

Today on the show I’m sitting down with the guitarist and bassist from one of Baltimore’s own pioneering alternative rock n’ roll bands, Bootleggers & Baptists. John Morgan and Stephen Berchielli have forged a path in the fuzzy-folk genre – a genre I may be just now creating – because it sums of their raw, 90’s, groove-based, jam rock sound to a tee; a kitchen sink of creativity with a bluesy foundation that’s their very own. They’re here to promote a slice of t...

Joseph and the Sparrows, The Rescue Party and more, Edward Neenan is a creative and musical lifer – it’s in his heart, his bones and, more importantly, his post-punk and pop soul.

But, he’s not just a musician, he’s got a background in marketing and broadcast...

Unless you’ve been living under a ‘3rd Rock From The Sun’-sized heavenly rock, then you’ve probably seen Ian McDermott performing at your local pub, brewery, restaurant or Mid-Atlantic special event. The aforementioned sitcom was included because it’s an NBC property, much like The Voice, which Ian McDermott will be featured on in their upcoming season. His warm, rich, timber is like organic syrup on your already perfectly spiced flavored pancakes. Ian sings the blues like...

He’s young singer, songwriter and guitarist with a passion for classic rock, smooth rhythms and, apparently, collective fruit. You aren’t likely to find him in the produce aisle of your local grocery store, but you can find him at just about any bar or club in Harford or the surrounding counties [belting ...

Today on the show I’m sitting down with local singer-songwriter, Ryan Betts. Betts is a man who may have been born in the wrong decade or sent through a wormhole to help save rock n’ roll. His performances are pure and soulful and his affect is genuine. I recently caught Ryan at the Sean Bolan’s open mic hosted by Btags and was immediately taken back by how smooth and effortless he delivered the blues – as if he’s already lived a few lifetimes prior to our introduction. He’s currently...
Today on the show I’m sitting down with local axe slinger for the band Distance to Dawn, featuring former MOG artist, Lexi Raine. He's a singer-songwriter, videographer, and Hawaiian shirt aficionado, Jeff Hans.
