The Locksmiths: Searing Vocals Combing Creative Musing & Americana Music

The Locksmiths are an Americana husband-and-wife band mixing rich melodies with evocative lyrics. The Queens natives weave a Southern Gothic tapestry through bluegrass-inspired folk-rock.

Robert and Krissy met in 2010 through a mutual friend looking to put a band together. Upon falling in love and abandoning that project, The Locksmiths was born. Taking their mutual love of The Beatles as well as their admiration of Americana artists like The Band and Gillian Welch, Robert and Krissy began crafting their own sound. The Locksmiths soon took shape in New York City and have since toured major cities including Nashville, Austin, and Indianapolis. They released their debut album in 2016 (backed by Cole Quest & The City Pickers) to positive reviews. Whether singing about love and despair or triumph and tragedy, their songs not only inhabit a world of Faulkneresque proportions but also envelop the personal lives of the writers as well.“A truly stirring vocal performance.” - Rachel Cholst (Adobe & Teardrops)“Raucous Americana… incredibly clever lyrics that bite.” - Greg Jones (Ear to the Ground Music)“Crescendoing poetry crooned with grit. Bock’s storytelling has become more crystalline than ever before.” - Nicholas Horner (Porch Stomp)

Brother Dave Schools us on How to Rock Out with Passionate Blues
Brother Dave is a guitarist/vocalist whose passionate and eclectic style defies categorization!

We learn of Dave's unique background, and his love of the guitar, especially the pedal steel. We'll hear three of his latest songs, Bak'n Blues, Lonely & Blue, and  Road Trip. 

While his musical influences are firmly based on Roots and Blues, his stylings are infused with Country, Rock, and Jazz sounds that embody both classic and modern sensibilities. Dave’s vocals are a cross between Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Bobby “Blue” Band, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, and even Bonnie Raitt.  His guitar stylings are a diverse blend of the earlier accomplished guitarists…..Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Freddie, B.B. and Albert King, Chet Atkins, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Johnny Winter, as well as contemporary artists such as Joe Bonamassa, Kirk Fletcher, and Eric Gales.

Since the age of 17, Brother Dave has been gigging with various NYC-based bands, touring all over the East Coast and Europe, and performing for audiences of all ages and tastes.

While he has the distinction of having opened for such world-class performers as Johnny Winter, Dickey Betts, Buddy Miles, Elvin Bishop, Debbie Davies, Room full of Blues, Shemieka Copeland, and Little Charlie and The Night Cats, he is just as likely to be seen entertaining the patrons of a small intimate lounge or private party.

These days you can catch Brother Dave playing Solo Acoustic or with his Band, Brother Dave & The Brave, in Restaurants, Pubs, Clubs, and a variety of music venues all over Long Island, New York City, Connecticut, and the entire tri-state region.  You’ll find him backing up some of the area’s finest Vocalists and Bands playing: Jazz, Classic/90’s Rock, Blues, Swing, Reggae, Indian, Country; whatever the genre!

His guitar and gritty well-honed vocals can be heard on many recordings created by our local musicians.

No matter your age, musical taste, or where you call home, Brother Dave and The Brave has something to inspire everyone as they effortlessly tap the soul of American music, fusing the familiar with the new and vibrant.

Brother Dave is an act not to be missed!

Uplifting & Tasty Americana Country-Rock Music of Andrew Weiss Engages the Heart

Find Andrew Weiss & Friends Here
“Weiss crafts beautifully tender confessions amidst the warm lull of dreamy psych-folk. He invites the listener into a warm haze of chiming guitars and sweet harmonies.” -Under The Radar, 2022

“Dreamy, paradise ruminations characterize Andrew Weiss’ songwriting. He has a knack of blending paradise with the end game.” -Americana Highways, 2021

"Sly and soulful folk...an early 70’s Neil Young meets Fleet Foxes take on indie-folk." -Glide Magazine, 2021

“Andrew Weiss is practically a veteran of a sound he calls “power pop-icana,” melding hooks with that classic Americana country-rock style. His songs hit all the Tom Petty/Byrds marks in a bright, breezy, and melodic way.” -PopRock Record, 2021

“One of 2020s most promising artists.” - Glide Magazine, 2020

“We think it could be a big 2020 for Andrew Weiss and Friends.” - American Songwriter, 2020

“The earnestness of Laurel Canyon folk-rock tempered by the wry humor of power pop.” - The Boot, 2020

"A really kind of lovely pop aesthetic that is reaching people. Andrew Weiss is very clever...we're damn lucky to have found this." - Ryan Spaulding (Ryan's Smashing Life, The Outlaw Roadshow), 2019

"One of the true prerequisites for the creation of good music is talent, and Andrew Weiss is simply oozing with it. Weiss is a band in a box. Perhaps my favorite part is Weiss' perspicacious ear - a quality developed through listening and practicing." - The Music Court, 2016

"We’re talking catchy music that wastes no time getting stuck in your head." - Bucketlist Music, 2016

"Today's mainstream pop groups could learn a lesson from this. Making good music can be as simple as going back to your roots. Andrew Weiss and his band rely on 70s style guitars, carefree lyrics, and rich melodies reminiscent of late 60s psychedelic pop to drive the point across." - On The Flip Side Music, 2016

Soulful Singer-Songwriter Kelli Baker Rises like the Phoenix & Delights All. Call the Listener Line (631) 800-3579         https://www.kellibaker.com/  Music On Spotify

With a powerhouse voice dripping with a haunting sensuality that slips easily into growling old-school blues tones, Kelli speaks her heart like a beat poet in a late-night dive. The kind you only know if you’re in the know. Her music is an amalgamation of authentic blues/rock and heart-on-her-sleeve singer/songwriter pop with folk/gospel roots. Known in some circles as “The Phoenix”, Kelli was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She moved to New York in 2012, with $500 in cash, chasing the heels of Hurricane Sandy. Learning music like so many others in the church choir, Kelli graduated to fronting a hard rock band and a folk duo, writing her own music at an early age. Swiftly moving through the ranks of Long Island’s bristling music scene, she has quickly become a known name.  Kelli has been nominated as the  Best Singer from Long Island 2021 by Bethpage’s prestigious “Best of Long Island” award series and named one of Newsday’s Rising Stars of Long Island for 2019.

Kelli has been compared to Bonnie Raitt, Chris Cornell, Susan Tedeschi, and Aretha Franklin. Her dynamic blues tones and gospel nods have been called a kind of ethereal blues. 
  Kelli has recorded at Milk House Studios with multi-platinum producer Philip A. Jimenez (Wheatus, Teenage Dirtbag) and Blokhed Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Tommy Spiegel.  Susan Aquila (recorded and worked with Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, and Steven Tyler) appears on “Cathedral”.   She resides just outside of New York City.

Virtuoso Slide Guitarist & Powerhouse, Ace Stringman Mark Newman on how to Deliver
As I navigate the musical waters of the Long Island Sound, more often than not I’m blessed to find some great music well up in my wheelhouse.  And that’s how I felt as I experienced Mark Newman’s music Growing up in New York, Mark Newman’s musical journey has taken him around the world several times as both sideman and singer/songwriter. This ace string man (guitar, lap steel, mandolin, dobro) and accomplished songwriter is the type of singer whose warm and expressive voice sounds like an old friend. He put it all together on 2006’s “Must Be A Pony”   In 2010 he took a quantum leap forward with the stunning “Walls Of Jericho”   and has just released, “Brussels”, a live solo EP. “Empirical Truth”, his latest CD was released in June, 2018 (Danal Music, LLC, by WBA Records). It won best CD from the Long Island Blues Society. Sharing the stage with such notables as soul legend Sam Moore (Sam & Dave), John Oates(Hall and Oates), Jim McCarty (Yardbirds, Renaissance),the late Willy DeVille (Mink DeVille), Bobby Whitlock (Derek and the Dominos) and Sam The Sham, has given Newman the perspective to craft an individualistic sound framed in straight-from-the-hip rock’n’roll, simmering with the subtle flavors of blues, R’n’B, funk, folk and soul.(New York, NY) — It was announced today that The Long Island Blues Society has named EMPIRICAL TRUTH by Mark Newman their 2019 CD Challenge winner. As the local winner, EMPIRICAL TRUTH will represent the Long Island Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge’s Self-Produced CD Contest; which happens in Memphis from January 28th to February 1st, 2020. Empirical Truth is also currently #1 in its category on the Reverbnation charts.  Listen to Empirical Truth on Spotify here:https://open.spotify.com/album/3Y5bQm8AOQPoFGmRyyaPVB 

It can certainly be said that a labor of love is not much of labor at all, and with singer/songwriter and guitarist Mark Newman’s latest release “Empirical Truth” (via Danal Music) this is very much the case, as he’s proven once again his power of true musicianship.

The Empowering Music and Heavenly Voice of Nico Padden and How to be a Pirate Queen

BIOGRAPHY 
Born and raised in a musician family on Long Island, NY, Nico has built up a supportive local following. She’s currently gigging on the East Coast relentlessly in support of her 2016 LP, A Light in the Dark.   Powerfully raw yet hopeful, Nico’s sophomore effort follows her 2013 EP Waterbird (find both on AppleMusic, Spotify, or NicoPadden.com.) A true folk-rock gypsy, Nico has performed everywhere from concert halls to farmers’ markets, living rooms to dive bars, backyards to street corners, coffeehouses to fancy restaurants, and everywhere in between. She’s a regular street performer in her current home of Queens, NYC, and has won over many crowds of strangers with her impish grin; frank, entertaining banter; and cathartic sound. Her music and voice have been compared to the likes of Alanis Morisette, Brandi Carlile, & Carole King.

  Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Pianist. I'm a one-woman band providing music for all types of venues including but not limited to restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, private parties, and outdoor festivals. In 2016 I released my debut LP “A Light in the Dark” which is available on all music services. I also write personalized wedding songs.

"Perfect Strangers" unites Three of Long Island's top performers. What makes them different? Their impeccable arrangements will effortlessly transport you from Locomotive Breath and Comfortably Numb to The Boxer and Down Under with so many stops along the way! Everything from The Beatles to Marshall Tucker fit right into their wheelhouse. If you're looking for originals, they have a large repertoire. "Perfect Strangers" has a uniquely refreshing sound, a departure from the generic, all too familiar musical landscape we've all grown accustomed to.
Bob Blatchley is an accomplished acoustic guitarist, and vocalist. He excels at both percussive, as well as fingerstyle playing. Claire Kolensky adds spectacular rock flute, to embellish and distinguish their sound. Claire draws inspiration from the great Ian Anderson. Guy Pezzullo's command of his classic Fender Strat is unrivaled, and his vocals are spot on. As the soloist, you cannot miss Guy on the Electric!

Nelson Montana  

Music Industry Insights from Composer, Arranger, Artist, Musician, Nelson Montana. A Conversation and music from Concert Halls to Studio to Broadway  

If you are a singer/songwriter or just an artist who dabbles with music, there's so much to learn from my guest, Nelson Montana.  His eclectic interest in various genres is inspiring and noteworthy. Join us in this fascinating conversation on the Long Island Sound. 

Arranger / Composer /Bassist / Multi-Instrumentalist / Vocalist / Producer / Engineer 

Nelson Montana is a New York-based musician who is also a producer, composer, and arranger.  Though primarily a bassist he plays a total of eleven instruments. 

https://soundcloud.com/nelson-montana

Nelson’s career goes back to when he played with the critically acclaimed band “Popular Science” as a drummer and songwriter before he switched to bass as his main instrument years later. Since then, he’s been a full-time bassist working in various venues and all styles of music, from concert halls to studio work to Broadway plays.  Consequently, he’s the only person to have been featured in both Modern Drummer magazine as well as Bass Player magazine.  And his guitar work on his album “Don’t Fear the Reverb” has also received high praise. 

 Nelson has played with members of the bands Steely Dan, Daft Punk, Jimmy Buffet, and Stevie Winwood.  He’s also featured in the new book “From The Record” along with music industry legends, Robin Gibb, Neil Sedaka, and Kelly Rowland. 

 Nelson currently works mostly as a producer and recording engineer, but still manages to record much of his own music. He has over 300 videos on Youtube where he plays all the instruments and the styles range from Rock to Jazz, to Funk to Country.  Being so eclectic is difficult to market because people expect an artist to do one thing, but as Nelson puts it, “I enjoy all types of music and want to express myself in a variety of ways. If others enjoy it, I’ve succeeded in what I’m trying to do.” 

That is why he currently makes all of his recordings available free of charge to his fans.

QUESTION — Have a question about The Long Island Sound podcast? Want some music industry insights? Need to know what what’s happening on the local music scene.?

💜 About The Long Island Sound Podcast. The discovery of original music begins here as we endeavor to discover great music from various genre, from Alt-Country, Rockabilly, R&B, Rock-N-Roll, the Blues, Hip Hop, Pop, Folk, Bluegrass, Punk, Post-Punk, Heavy Metal, Folk and Americana.  .  We pull back the curtain on the music industry and speak to promoters, production engineer and those working the home studio. On “The Long Island Sound” you’ll learn the ins and outs of the music business from artists with New York roots and those spread around this great world.

Indie Americana/Folk Artist Delaney Hafener reveals her musical journey.  Her ethereal voice resonates in beautiful harmony with her music.  Over the past decade, Delaney has covered tremendous ground in live performances, original music as well as touring with her band. 
 
Before she could speak, Delaney Hafener has found the best way for her to communicate is through music. She began singing Gram Parsons and Neil Young songs with her dad, and at the age of 12 started learning guitar with an old Gibson she revived from the basement. She wrote her first songs with the help and encouragement of her mom and began cutting her teeth as a performer at open mics when she was 14. 

Hafener founded the indie-folk band Pandafan at 17 and found some regional success with the group. Based mostly in NYC, they’ve played in venues such as Mercury Lounge, Cafe Lena, The Bug Jar, Gypsy Sally’s Vinyl Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, Suffolk Theater, and Guild Hall, and many others. At the height of their gigs, the young band was playing up to 5 gigs a week with frequent double-header Saturdays in the busy Long Island summer season. 

The Belle Curves’ sound is akin to bands such as Brandi Carlile, The Wild Reeds, Lucinda Williams, and The Jayhawks. 

The Belle Curves is led by Delaney Hafener, formerly of indie-folk outfit Pandafan, and features a rotating cast of musicians. They have crafted a unique sound inspired by the many traditions of Americana, complementing introspective lyrics and a songwriting style that can be reminiscent of both the Laurel Canyon and Bakersfield. The Belle Curves' music touches on themes of self-doubt, progressive politics, identity, and disaffection, working to create a distinctly youthful folk aesthetic. 

A collection of protest music for this moment in American history, The Belle Curves' EP "2020" has been described as "absolutely brutal. If Dar Williams and Stephin Merritt started a Woody Guthrie inspired band, it would be something like The Belle Curves," according to Country Queer.

Looking to inspire kids to explore their musical talent? Lena & Brian have the answers as we do a deep dive into family music! Over the past decade, Lena has taken a deep dive into the world of family music.  Her album “Happy as Clams” (2013) earned a Parents Choice “fun stuff” award as well as won first place in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for the song “I Love U.”  For her clever lyrics and zaniness, one critic dubbed her “the Carol Burnett” of children’s music.  The album featured the talents of their family (her husband, grandma, mom, dad, brothers, nephews, and nieces) and friends.   It was recorded at Paradiddle Records in Huntington. #ChildrensMusic, #MusicianInterviews 

She was inspired to begin writing music after listening to Laurie Berkner's songs.   A band was formed dubbed  “The Happy Clam Band” which has performed around the Long Island area including the Great South Bay Music Festival, The Oyster Festival as well as at libraries, pre-schools, nature centers, petting zoos, homes, and more.  The band includes her husband Brian Smith (pianist and arranger), Michael Leuci (guitarist/drummer/arranger), and Michael Palumbo (bassist) as well as other guest artists.  Lena met James Packard, Theatre manager of The Long Island Children’s Museum.

A mission to heal through music.  If you want to know the person behind the music and the great artists that contribute to the Long Island Sound this is the episode for you. ? Every once in a blue moon, lady luck strikes, and your curiosity blossoms and fascinations develop as you discover someone new. This muse struck me as I was drilling down on my encounter with Rorie Kelly, a fierce and joyful singer/songwriter from Long Island. 
Rorie is not easily defined and that’s what I love about her unabashed style of music & muse. In this episode, there is no mask to remove from the artist, just raw honesty and joy to encounter. As I began to peel away at her catalog of music, I have discovered a thread of social justice and a beautiful voice for the marginalized in our society. Although we have never met face-to-face yet, I have been blessed to get a glimpse of a human that I want to know more about.  In unraveling the “mystery” of the Long Island Sound, I endeavor to reveal the person behind the music, and as with this episode, the journey goes just a bit deeper. 

We never discussed Neil Young during our visit, but his lyric has been making its way to my mind in thinking about Rorie, “Think of me as the one you’ve never figured”! Her battle cry and melodic scream are to bring healing through music. As a prophetic voice and lament on the way we might see with a new vision, I welcome her invitation as she speaks up for herself and her community! 

Walter Brueggemann said it well”

“The task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a  consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and  perception of the dominant culture around us.”  

The new album Shadow Work is about shining a light in the darkness, getting real, getting raw, and healing wounds. “The practice of shadow work is about sifting through those parts of ourselves that we have pushed down and suppressed over the years,” the singer explains. “It’s about showing up for our whole selves and finding healing.”  The production is big, dark, and performed largely by just two people – Rorie herself, and her father and production partner, Kevin Kelly. “It was exciting to us to see just how much power we could pack into these songs as two humans in a studio with a vision,” says Rorie. The songwriting looks deeply into topics like self-worth, growth, and letting go, and how our culture treats people who don’t fit the mainstream “default.”

Rorie started a weekly Livestream series called Monday Night Muses, which streams every Monday night from 7-9 pm ET at twitch.tv/roriekelly. For more information or to contact Rorie, visit www.roriekelly.com.

Dan Donnelly is the quintessential live gig master; he’s one of the hardest working singer/guitarist on Long Island. Dan has been working gigs for decades on Long Island, from the North Shore to the South Shore and out to Montauk, including Stephen Talk house in Amagansett. He has rubbed shoulders with famous musicians and openly collaborates with Erik McCormack’s group FES as their honorary lead electric guitarist. 

Steve Yusko your host explores Dan’s inspiration to become a musician and his collaborative spirit as a mentor to many. Dan speaks to his tactics in obtaining gigs and what appears to be a relentless schedule of weekly events. Mr. Donnelly works full time and plays three to five times a week mostly at the various JT Restaurants in and around Bayport (JT’s on the Bay, JT’s Café, and JT’s Farmhouse).

Up and coming singer/songwriters will benefit from Dan’s insight and instruction to successfully gig events and how to break into the live music scene on Long Island. 

Open to collaboration, Dan and his bandmates were one of the first bands to fully explore the “cover market” by featuring full album sets by Fleetwood Mac, and Peter Gabriel to name a few. 

If you are on the South Shore of Long Island in Suffolk County looking for great food and entertainment, you can find it by going to Dan’s Facebook page and find out where he’s appearing next. You will not be disappointed.

 Steve Yusko our host interviews Andy Clooney, a native Long Islander who is an ambassador of Irish American music for the United States and abroad. Steve gets to know his guest's roots and inspiration.  Andy Cooney has nine Carnegie Hall sellouts under his belt and filled The David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center with The New York Tenors. His outstanding voice and dynamic stage presence have long been a favorite among young and old alike. His talent and versatility provide the ability to deliver a song directly to the hearts of his audience; Andy is surely one of the greatest singing sensations on the Irish Music scene today. Christened Irish America’s Favorite Son by The New York Times, it is a title he richly deserves. Andy Cooney is one of The New York Tenors, along with New York Italian Tenor Christopher Macchio & New York Puerto Rican Tenor Daniel Rodriquez, a trio that has been receiving high critical acclaim for several years. Andy has recorded 19 albums to date, including Bright Brand-New Day with Phil Coulter and his Orchestra. Andy and Phil frequently tour together and in March 2017, completed a three-week tour of the US. Cooney’s latest CD, Irish Country Skyline, was released in the summer of 2016 as a journey back to his Country music roots. This release has been getting huge airplay all over Ireland and the UK with his hit singles On the Eighth Day and My Rose of Ballinrobe, both his own compositions.  2020 turned out to be an unusual year where  Coronavirus shut down the music industry.  In 2020, Andy managed to release 4 new singles during the pandemic, “Take Me Back To Dublin”, “We’re All In This Together” with his son Ryan, “Come Tennessee Me Tonight” with Country Music legend Larry Gatlin and his latest single release in November 2020, “The Waltz of the Angels”.    Andy Cooney is also known for his Cruise of Irish Stars which annually draws over 1,000 Irish and Irish Americans on a Caribbean Cruise enriched with the finest Irish entertainment including the great Ronan Tynan.

Cooney is a musician, songwriter, vocalist, and complete entertainer. With his Irish charm and good looks, Andy is a true professional who brings the best of Irish entertainment on every tour. Andy Cooney maintains a mailing list of over 48,000 fans & maintains an extremely busy website with countless daily hits.

In episode six, we discover a compelling journey and one musician’s path.  As most roads in the discovery of talent have many detours, I believe Steve Martino’s story will be familiar to many of us.  

The Lennon and McCartney lyrics from “The Long and Winding Road” comes to mind:

The long and winding road,
 That leads to your door
 Will never disappear
 I've seen that road before

For those of us who picked up an instrument in our youth and explored the magic of performance. I invite you into the conversation I had with Stephen Martino from Babylon, NY.

We discover the twist and turns, the pit stops, and motivation to get back into the race. It is a long and winding road, but once you experience those moments of magic, you’ll hopefully recognize the “door” that will never disappear. 

Stephen Martino is a teacher at heart, who humbly avoids the title of instructor. Beginning as a percussionist and honing his “chops”, he majored in music and is an inspiration to so many. As a keyboard player and drummer, he continues to write music and explore the possibilities.

I learned so much from my good friend in this episode as together we inspect the building blocks gifted by his parents to an eager son who opened the door to music. 

I started the Long Island Sound Podcast to lend my hand to musicians and singer/songwriters from Long Island. Little did I know that I would discover so much and help guests recall the memories that influenced their journey. We listen to podcasts for entertainment and an occasional lesson. 

In today’s class, I revisit some memories from a person who teaches, encourages, and inspires me. 

We learned about the encouragement Steve received throughout his life and his generosity to pay it forward. 

Steve and his wife Anne Marie, who now reside in Wilmington, NC enjoy time away from Long Island taxes and traffic, but his roots on Long Island run deep along with the influence he has had in the Village of Babylon. He is an accomplished musician who is generous with his time and talent. If you’d like to connect with Steve, go to the GigDestiny.com site for more information.

Guitarist, multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire. Tom Pryor the music director for Community Church in Babylon, NY takes us on his musical journey and influences from classical to jazz, from Rock-n-Roll to Christian Worship music.  In this episode, we hear a beautiful tune written for his wife called "Everyday Valentine" and end with an upbeat rock'n version of an original worship song.  We explore the music which is the foundation of the "Church for People or aren't Church People".

They say there are only six degrees of separation between all of us, in the case of getting to know Tom, we found just two degrees, as we discovered a mutual friend in Eric McCormack, another guest musician featured in episode #4.

Tom along with Lou Pizichillo is the young pastor of Community Church in Babylon, a non-denominational Christian church unlike any with which your host is acquainted. We unpack the intricacies of a Christian worship group along with the influences that support the message series at each Sunday service.   I discovered Tom Pryor when I started attending Community Church just a mile away from my home in Babylon Village.  As a "cradle Catholic", I was fortunate enough to experience a welcoming community that just so happened to have fantastic music, along with messages and sermons to aid in my spiritual growth. 

Music can be a spiritual experience for many of us, for the performers as well as their audiences. Whether in a bar, pub, concert hall, or in your community church, all of these venues are the wellsprings that feed "The Long Island Sound".

Kevin McLeod is a  guitarist who crosses genres with ease from jazz, to rock, folk, the blues, and back again. Kevin is one of those artists who has a standing both in New York City and Long Island.

About Kevin McLeod

Https://KevinMcLeodBand.com

Music has extraordinary transformative power, both for the musician and listener. It's what I'm always trying to tap into, regardless of the musical style or setting.

Once upon a time music was an important part of a culture.  Songs were sung for joy and celebration, to ease the pain of life’s troubles, and to transcend the boundaries between worlds. It is this lineage that inspires me to create.

Kevin's most recent CD is called 'Careless Truth', which contains nine new songs. This is not pop music. The songs on Careless Truth come from the deeper traditions of American Music that inspire him - Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Rock influences are all present.  The lyrics and music were written as directly as possible, hence the album’s title.  Some serious issues are addressed like homelessness, politics, depression, and addiction, as well as brighter topics like love and family life.  The album was recorded using many vintage guitars and amps and has a classic American Rock sound.  Kevin was happy to work with some fine musicians and record at an excellent studio.

The Kevin McLeod Band is a six-piece group that takes my songs to the next level via inspired performances and group improvisation.  The band features some of the area's finest musicians.  I am also a member of the NYC Jazz group True To Life and LI Jazz group The Tone Healers.  I have appeared on cable TV programs such as Wes Houston Presents and played at NYC clubs such as The Way Station, The Shrine, The Sidewalk, Silvana, Googie's Lounge (Upstairs at The Living Room), CBGB's, The Alphabet Lounge, and Kavehaz. He has played for many festivals & folk music societies in addition to many cafes, clubs, & restaurants in the NY area and along the east coast. My music has been played on NY radio stations such as WBAB, WFUV, and WUSB, as well as other stations across the USA, Europe, and Australia.

In addition to his own CDs, you can hear his guitar playing on releases by The Kathy Fleischmann Band, Kathy Fleischmann, Geoffrey Armes, The EVT Band, DeStefano & McLeod, Tom FitzPatrick, and Phil DeStefano.

How to become a Rock star, Steve interviews Robert Miller, host of the Follow Your  Dream podcast.  Robert Miller’s story is unique and inspirational. He is a musician who followed his youthful dream later in life and became a Rock Star when he was in his 60s! This podcast is for everyone who has a dream - whatever it may be - and yearns to pursue it! Get inspired by Robert and his guests to follow and succeed at your dream! And you will get introduced to Robert’s acclaimed music and his Billboard #1 band, Project Grand Slam! 

Robert's mantra:

"Remember, you’re never too old, and it’s never too late, to follow your dream!"
I was stoked that Robert would agree to become a guest on my fledgling podcast. His generous spirit was reflected in his offer of time to help me follow my dream with this podcast, "The Long Island Sound".

It's an old story you hear about musicians who played their hearts out reaching for the stars, however, Robert Miller's story has an inspirational ending whereby he continues to chase his dream, this time with Project Grand Slam and the platform of a podcast.

I'm am inspired by Robert's actions as I have a podcast host/musician to emulate.  Robert and I dive into the bands and British invasion that help inspire him along with his collaborative band of international musicians, Project Grand Slam.

Robert's can-do attitude can be an inspiration to every musician to follow your heart and keep at it.

“THE SHAKESPEARE CONCERT” HIGHLIGHT REEL

In August 2021 Project Grand Slam performed a benefit concert for Shakespeare & Co., a leading Shakespearean acting troupe. Two months later Robert took the band into the recording studio to replicate the concert “live in the studio”. 15 songs played one after another concert style. No overdubs. No fixes. Just the band as-is.
