Carr Stereo Podcast

Scott Holiday is a master. One of our true, new guitar heroes. I have long been a RIVAL SONS super fan and was so excited to check out Scott's solo record - TOPOLOGY - What a masterpiece of sound. Over delivery alert! In this Carr Stereo episode we discuss putting TOPOLOGY together, the magic of RIVAL SONS, how "dry toast" in music is NOT preferred and more. A deep dive into sound and vision (yeah, a little Bowie reference!) with the FUZZLORD. What a pleasure.

ZEBRA. One of rock music's greatest power trio's. TC here and I have known Zebra Vocalist and Guitarist Randy Jackson for decades, such a talent. Zebra is celebrating 50 years as a band and releasing their first new album in 23 years - ZEBRA V on Friday November 13th and in this Carr Stereo episode we discuss the band reuniting with super producer, the late Jack Douglas (who produced the first two Zebra albums and who we lost a few months ago) still rocking with the bands original lineup, we deep dive into some of the new songs on Zebra V and discuss life on the road, as the band is kicking off their massive 50th anniversary tour. Randy is a master musician and an even better guy. Pre-Order the new album too. You won't be sorry.

The holidays are coming! And the tradition of the marriage of Rock and Christmas continue with Trans Siberian Orchestra heading out for their 30th Anniversary Tour. This episode is the first in a duo of Trans Siberian Orchestra holiday interviews, as Musical Director Al Pitrelli will join me in a few weeks- BUT we kick off the holidays with someone who has been a voice of TSO for close to twenty years and a voice in rock for much longer- The amazing JEFF SCOTT SOTO. I first heard Jeff's magic pipes when he sang for Yngwie Malmsteen way back when and since, Jeff has played with masters, done his own incredible projects and been a part of bands like Sons Of Appollo, Journey and more. In this episode Jeff discusses the 30th anniversary of TSO and how the late Paul O'Neill's vision launched a new tradition for generations. I felt very festive after this chat and you will too! Let’s celebrate the 30th anniversary of TSO with singer JEFF SCOTT SOTO.

Ten Ton Mojo is one of my favorite new bands and their new tune BROKEN DOWN BLUES will be available Friday 10/16 on ALL platforms and it's a banger! The band was cool enough to let me and The Carr Stereo Podcast give you a taste a little early and that comes with a set up from Ten Ton Mojo Frontman DAVE ANTHONY who joins me for a "Pre- Premiere Interview" to discuss the inspiration behind this song. These guys are killer. If you love Bad Company, Humble Pie, AC/DC and are also fueled by Rival Sons, Dirty Honey and Greta Van Fleet give these guys a listen. They will BLOW YOU AWAY! Thanks Dave! Enjoy and download when the band releases it officially this Friday October 16th.

What a blast to hang with Keyboard master and "Arc Of Sound" creator , the legendary Geoff Downes of The Buggles, Yes and Asia. Geoff and I look back on his contribution to "bridging the gap between" between decades pf sound, losing his musical partner John Wetton, and the rebirth of Asian including their new record INDIGO, coming in November 2027.

Fuel founding member, primary songwriter and guitar player Carl Bell joins me for a RETURN OF FUEL episode as the band will drop a new record - PENDULUM on 10/30. Carl is the crafter of the bands biggest hits and discusses finding their new singer Aaron Scott, why he wasn't sure he was up for another round of making music and how he became inspired to create PENDULUM, one of the bands heaviest records to date. A 90's rock revival? You bet. And Fuel is happy to be a part of it. You can honor where you've been and still look to the future as I learned in this episode of Carr Stereo. Thanks Carl.

It's the fall season of Carr Stereo and in this episode I'm happy to catch up with a friend and rockstar. Marc Labelle from California band DIRTY HONEY. Now, if you look up "Authenticity In Rock" , Dirty Honey should come up! Seriously, one of the greatest bands in current based rock,. Dirty Honey returns with record number three on January 15th 2027- CATCH MY BUTTERFLY- a 14 song masterpiece. In this episode Marc and I discuss elevating your music with the right producer , words that made a difference from Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, how living life makes better art, and the crafting of some of the albums songs. Don't know Dirty Honey? You need to. We need more Dirty Honey's in rock music.

Vin from Sponge is the definition of a working musician and Sponge IS the quintessential working band. Detroit grit, an impressive and massive catalog and one of the most defining records on the 1990's.-the masterpiece- Rotting Piñata . Sponge returns with their 13th and final release - RECUERDA TU MUERTE and Vin reflects on their 30 plus year career, making music that he is proud of, almost joining another iconic 90's band, being inspired by Scott Weiland and touring in 2026. The new release is phenomenal. CHECK IT OUT and look for Sponge on tour.

I have such a sentimental history with Guitar legend Kenny Wayne Shepherd who I have been interviewing for three decades. Kenny is a blues revivalist, who delivered the blues to new generations of listeners when his debut "Ledbetter Heights" dropped in the height of the grunge movement and broke down every barrier. In this episode Kenny deep dives into his debut album, which he has re-recorded this past year with vocalist Noah Hunt (Corey Sterling was on the original) playing the album in it's entirety for the first time on tour, discusses his longevity in music, and tells a few stories too! Don't miss the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band in concert. It's a moving experience! And get to know Kenny in this episode.

Having Gil Moore on Carr Stereo was a joy as I am a self proclaimed Triumph SUPER FAN! "Magic Power" helped inspire my decades long radio career and Gil was fantastic as drums, family, gratitude, his amazing charity work and foundation and more were on the table for discussion. Triumph kicks off the second leg of their "Rock N' Roll Machine- RELOADED" Tour in November and the fans are ready! Thanks Gil!
