Antique jazz is the genre of this unique Louisville band, who brought their special sound to our studio recently. Founded by guitarist Mark Hamilton, it also features the vocals of powerhouse singer Laura Ellis. Billy Goat Strut Revue will be performing at the Mayor’s Music & Art Series this week.
Hailing from Brown County, Indiana, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band visited the FPK studio and played two songs for us. We also talked about the great Charlie Patton and his fingerstyle picking on the guitar.
Carrie Rodriguez stopped by WFPK yesterday before her show at Uncle Slayton’s. We talked about her new release, Give Me All You Got, and her songwriting process.
Troubadour Joshua James came by the FPK studio to talk about his new record, From The Top of Willamette Mountain. Not only does he explain the album’s title, but also discusses some eerie coincidences that go along with it. And we talk about goats, too!
Pete Mitchell and Neil DeGraide are No More Kings, when they can be that is. Pete lives in LA and Neil lives in Louisville, but that doesn’t stop them from recording and writing songs on a pretty regular basis. They’ve done quite well for themselves with a couple of videos that have gone viral, one of which features original members of the cast from The Karate Kid called Sweep the Leg. WFPK is currently playing a song from their new self-titled EP called They’re Coming To Get You Barbara. If the title sounds familiar to fans of zombie flicks, there’s a good reason for that – which they explain (and perform) in full during our in-studio.
