Episode 49: KellR Music and DJ Killa WhiteClef

November 30, 2016 Anthony Manfetano

The guys sit are joined this week by national electronic hip-hop producer KellR for a great discussion on acoustic vs digital tracking, versatile music placement, and the modern state of independent production. He also tells a great anecdote about the poor placement of one of his tracks on reality TV. KellR has worked on radio and projects as well as had contest winning tracks selected by both Wyclef and Usher, respectively. KellR's EP, Hear My Voice, drops in January.

Of course Tony, Spencer, and Chris can't just interview someone without going tangent crazy. They somehow navigate through robbing the homeless, Tony likes Nickelback, who's cat would you be, and little girls with salads. (not as creepy as it sounds). All that plus Chris refuses to use a coaster. Salute!

Episode 48: Patrick Uptain and the Nehi Peach

November 18, 2016 Anthony Manfetano

The guys had an awesome show this week with their new buddy and great musician Patrick Uptain. Patrick talks about what it was like moving from Alabama to study theatre (I spell it that was 'cuz I'm fancy), in New York before ending up in Nashville to pursue music. He's got a great story and incredible talent, which he demonstrates with some live in studio music.

We start the night out with some light speak of grown-up parties, canned sodas, and we discover Chris is Bransford Rambo. (Brambo?) Tony has a run in with a 3ft receipt, Mexican food is everywhere, and we close out on fake I.D.'s. This was actually recorded a few weeks ago so there's some residual Halloween talk. All that plus introducing the NeHi Peach. Salute!

Episode 47: The Men Behind The Man Behind The Curtain

November 10, 2016 Anthony Manfetano

Tony, Chris, and Spencer begin with the longest pre-show warm-up ever before pulling the curtain back on, um...The Man Behind The Curtain. Yep, the fellas take in the sounds of the city on the patio at Daisy Dukes and talk to Chris, Greg, and Andrew of The Man Behind The Curtain before their show. Besides being incontestable musicians, a formidable industry presence, and down right intelligent dudes they are just easy to talk to. (Which makes our job super easy.) The band tells great stories, including their titular origin (that sounds dirtier than it is), and rides with the SYB guys down all their tangential side streets. TMBTC dovetails perfectly into exactly what SYB is all about, do your shit the way you want! They're super knowledgeable, musically literate, and were great guests. All that plus, Alfred Hitchcock after Arby's. Salute!

Episode 46: Javonnii Curry, From Streets To Beats

November 4, 2016 Anthony Manfetano

Music producer and friend of the show Javonnii Curry sits down with the guys this week to talk about his new EP Let There Be Light. We learn about his vision for the music and its inspirational journey to completion. Javonnii takes us from the streets of Atlanta, to deployment in Kuwait, diving for the Army in Hawaii, to ending up at the renowned Blackbird recording studio here in Nashville.

It would not be and episode of SYB without some tangential straying into topics such as manscaping etiquette and Tony not knowing what hemisphere he lives in. Spencer gets drunk in the second half and we find out he's never been to Hawaii, but he has been to Texas. Salute!
