Jaybirds JP and Jenna Walsh

This week on the podcast, we’re broadcasting live from Cloudland Recording Studio with the incredibly talented Kevin Aldridge, frontman of Hotel Satellite and a stalwart of the Fort Worth music scene. Join us as we dive into an engaging conversation about his band, his unique approach to songwriting, his guitar-playing techniques, and his experiences at the FW Weekly Music Awards at Tulips. You'll also enjoy a live acoustic performance featuring his mesmerizing tracks: “I Don’t Know Where To Start,” “Never Ending Thread,” and “Why Did We Ever Meet?” Kevin’s acoustic renditions are simply stunning, and the dialogue is equally captivating. Don’t miss out on discovering more about Hotel Satellite on all music platforms or visit their website at https://hotelsatelliteband.com/. Mark your calendars for February 3, 2025, to see Hotel Satellite live at JAMBALOO alongside Broke String Burnett and Laser Blazer. It’s a free show with RSVP!

Podcast Reboot: Kicking Off 2025 with Joe Savage It’s 2025, and you know what that means—Joe Savage is back to ring in the new year with another unforgettable podcast episode! I love starting the year with Joe, a tradition that never fails to set the perfect tone for the months ahead. This year is extra special because we’re rebooting the show! With Joe Tacke back at the helm, we’re broadcasting from the incredible Cloudland Recording Studios. We’ve returned to our OG format, featuring live performances from our guest. Joe Savage kicks things off with three amazing songs, and let me tell you, they sound fantastic. He opens with “No Tats On My Fist,” the lead track from his latest album, Say I Love You Anyway. Afterward, we dive deep into the stories behind the album. Joe’s lyrics and storytelling are nothing short of masterful, and this episode is a companion piece for anyone who’s already a fan—or an introduction for those who haven’t yet discovered his work. The middle track, “I Don’t Want Your Girl,” brings a lighter, playful vibe, and we have a great time unpacking the inspiration behind it. Joe closes the set with an unreleased gem, “Little Town Madrid.” This one’s a captivating tale about an American in Spain, flirting with a bartender, and trust me—you won’t see the twist coming. Joe Savage isn’t just a singer-songwriter; he’s a true storyteller with a gift for creating vivid characters and settings. If you haven’t listened to his latest album yet, I hope this episode piques your interest. And if you’re already a fan, you’re in for a treat. You can find Joe’s music on your favorite streaming platform or visit his website to stay updated on his latest projects. Trust me, you’ll be glad you gave his work a listen. https://joefnsavage.com/

Happy 2024 This week Joe Savage is the guest. I love having Joe on the first show every year. I always think its one of the best and sets a good expectation for the upcoming year. He has released a couple of great albums over the last couple of months. Disappearing Blues and Sounds like Fort Worth.
