Interview: Fox Cities Core on WCZR – Code Zero Radio

/ matthewtday / 2 Comments

The “Meta Dada” media drive has cut to the core! Fox Cities Core, that is, on WCZR: Code Zero Radio. Host Andy MacNamara is a grade-A gent; I’ve been a fan of this show for years and it was totally special to get to chat with him.

A snowstorm the previous day/night would make for a tough commute, as my car got stuck on my un-plowed-street and the highways were still freaky. I didn’t quite make it in time, and had hardly unclenched my hands from the white-knuckle drive, but eventually I had the sense to settle in and enjoy the talk, covering quite a bit of my musical upbringing and leading up to upcoming solo album release shows.

Tune on in, and follow Core for some great local music interviews.

Andy also made a great clip of my list segment:

Just 10 days until the release shows! …The records for which *should* arrive in time.

Edge of my seat,

All together now: WELP – I – DID – A – THING.

Or:

Local Man Makes Good On Musical Threat!

The last weekend of this month I’ll mercifully release the most crackin’est cacophony your phonograph needle’s ever nuzzled.

Two nights only, and that’ll be it for these unique performances!

Two extra special chances to hear these twelve songs for the first ever times, while sharing the experience with adventurous fellow music lovers. Hope you’ll join me in uncharted waters!

Enjoy the promo video, produced by my Live from Stadium Drive brother Tommy Burns:

If you missed it, or if the previous video’s high-minded terms weren’t satisfactory, I spoke about the album a bit on Rooted Wisconsin (time-stamped here):

Finally, I wrote a bit about its genesis in my 2022 year-end round-up blog.

More details coming. Well… perhaps. Might keep things fairly under wraps, if only out of necessity as said things are likely going to come together the night before the shows. Yeah baby!

Thank you!

Interview: Rooted Wisconsin

/ matthewtday / 3 Comments

Recently I got to be a guest on Rooted Wisconsin, a fab, fairly new local interview show hosted by Brad Zima. As I type that, it occurs to me that I could have asked him on air if he’s related to the infamous Guy. Well, beyond that omission, it was a good chat!

By its nature the show is very open ended, so it was fun to cover a ton of topics: career stuff (Brad was one of my marketing instructors two years ago), music, dad life, and how all those intersect.

Brad’s a great host and the shows are well produced; I’ve been enjoying the other episodes since the show debuted this fall. I hope you dig this one, and highly recommend subscribing to the channel:

Personally I really appreciate this as a snapshot. I’d also been meaning to write up an update like I did last year, but this kinda takes care of that!

Not to spoil it, but we discuss, without revealing its name, the new events site Sam Farrell and I are working on: Wis Happenin. The site and accounts are super skeletal yet, but I’m working on it daily.

Thanks for givin’ a dern! Ultra grateful to Brad for having me on.
