Patty Griffin

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Grammy Award Winner Patty Griffin. One of the few people who can make me cry just by the sound of her voice. In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about the often lonely, boring life a singer leads if they truly care about their voice. Patty opens up about surviving cancer and having to build her voice back from nothing. But she is living proof that it can be done! We’re gonna hear about what it’s like for Patty to sing with Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, and much much more. All my writer’s royalties from sales of the book benefit the kids and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through our Music Gives to St. Jude Kids campaign.

Al Shackman on Nina Simone

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Al Schackman on Nina Simone. As Nina’s guitarist and musical director, she was more like a sister than anything. But this wasn’t just any sister. This was the mercurial, controversial, enigmatic, “high Priestess of Soul.” And with that comes incredible stories of her immense talent and outrageous temper, her fight for what she believed when it could literally get her killed, and that voice, that voice, that VOICE!

Perry Farrell

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction, Porno for Pyros, Satellite Party) The man helped reinvent the sound of rock music forever. A visionary and a poet, Perry tells us how he got where he is today, connecting with his heart, exploring the sound of his own voice, and throwing it out to the crowd. And if Kermit the Frog helps him get there, well, even better. Like the man himself, this one is truly beautiful, inspiring, and wild!

Roger Daltrey

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. My guest this week is too insane to believe. Because his name is Roger Daltrey. Who???? That’s right. The iconic singer of one of the most legendary, influential bands of the 20th century. In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about the unforgiving nature of being a front man, how he and Pete Townsend work out their songs, singing with your real voice, singing from your guts, the stutter stylings of ‘My Generation,’ why ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again” is his least favorite song to sing, you’ll hear me fan out about some deep cuts that I love, and learn how Tommy made him become a Rock God.

Wendy Melvoin on Prince

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. In this special episode I had the honor of speaking of with legendary songwriter, guitarist, producer, and iconic member of Prince & the Revolution: Wendy “Is the water warm enough?” Melvoin. I got to ask her questions I always wanted to know about Prince - some of them deeply personal - and Wendy was just so lovely and cool, I can’t say enough. And what can be said about Prince himself? The man sold over 150 million records, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, won seven Grammy’s, an Academy Award, and too many other awards to mention. But importantly, he changed our lives forever.
