Algorithms at times can be a blessing. My iTunes music makes suggestions all the time and often enough I think, what were they thinking?! But last year I hit pay dirt when I got a suggestion from the algorithm regarding our next guest. His debut solo release was so intoxicating it ended up making the number 8 spot in our top 20 of 21 as well as many other albums of the year collections. The record to me is the sound of hope when there seems to be not enough of it around, his playing is excellent and hes here to talk with us today please welcome to GRS Bryan Rahija

Our next guest is a singer, songwriter, performer who’s latest record is an amazing example of what can happen when musicians employ their imagination and say screw boundaries. The unexpected song structure, quirky guitars and tones were so refreshing to me I just had to talk with her. Please welcome to GRS Kristen Ford.

When I received an advance link to hear our next guests record, I knew it would be good, just based on his history and the other bands and records ive heard and live in my music collection, but, what I didn’t expect was a perfect record. No weak links in the chain. It’s been on constant repeat since I first heard it. I cant put it down. Honestly, we would need 8 hours to comb though his work, but we dont so lets get started while we’ve got him, people please welcome to GRS Mr.Eric Krasno

Welcome back to another episode of Guitar Radio Show and greetings from Austin TX

Our next guest is in my opinion hands down the best vocalist in the blues genre today. The honesty, urgency and visceral nature in every note she sings is undeniable. She and her band have had a pretty momentous 2021, including, pairing up with Bonfire music, being awarded best bass instrumentalist by the Blues foundation and just played the hallowed Antone’s right here in the greatest city in the world.

We’re gonna talk about her music, maybe some gear and what’s coming up. Please welcome to GRS Danielle Nicole.

Our next guest is someone who exists at the intersection of music and tech. He’s proof that the business of music can be as creative and passionate as the artists playing the music. The more I learn about him the more I’m inspired and confident that with people like him blazing trails the music business can be saved.

He’s been wildly instrumental in the success of iHeart radio, known for building Pocket Casts, an Australian-born podcasting app. he’s the CEO of True Fire studios
Which consists of Artistworks.com, Fader pro, Jam play and of course the amazing Truefire online interactive guitar learning AND he’s a guitarist. He’s with us today please welcome to GRS Mr. Owen Grover.
