Under Bristol: Recent Episodes
Cameron baxter
This podcast is for the sake of live music. Every week I introduce a new musical guest under something in Bristol, a place that connects me and reminds me of the artist in someway.
I interview each artist about their lives in music. Each artist typically plays two of their own songs to play live. For the outro we loosen up and jam.
This episode I interview Jack under the Bear pit tunnels. Jack is an American busker who frequently visits Bristol to busk. Was joined unexpectantly by a special rapper who spat some bars on the jam. Hope you enjoy
This episode I interviewed the Beatcleaver who I met under shade in St.andrews park during a jam. The Beatcleaver was a great guide about the rudiments of beatboxing and the culture of beatboxing. He shared his first beatboxing experiences, his influences (from famous beatboxer to Mongolian throat singing), and his thoughts on the future for beatboxing and the community in beatboxing.
We then jammed with a guitar and a trumpet.
This week I interviewed blues guitarist and singer Rosemary Wylde. Going into the interview blind, without knowing who she was or her music was exciting and not something I regret. Rosemary has a voice perfect for the blues singing with charged emotion and volume that can be as loud as a trombone. She performed two of her own original songs: 'Freight train to freedom' and 'Reins'. We then jammed on a blues cover of a Doors song.
This week I interview Alexander Canwell, a singer/songwriter who has recently released his album 'Folder 15'. Alex has been one of the first musicians in Bristol who I listened to live and I have been a big fan ever since. His album 'Folder 15' was originally published on his website, one song at a time. Seeing his album manifest before my eyes was a unique experience and one that made me excited to hear each new song, like a present that was waiting for me.
He performed two songs from 'Folder 15': 'That Night' and 'Kerfuffled Again'. He also recited one of his songs in a poetic style.
This week I interview Steve 'Sonic' I man I met when I had just started settling into the city. He's a freestyler and an artist who has been on the Bristol scene for a very long time, either MCing, DJing, or rapping with bands.
In this episode we didn't have a chance to showcase any of his original songs but he did spit a freestyle over a guitar bass line first take.
Hope you enjoy.
I am glad to introduce Steve Perry to be my first guest on the podcast. He performed two of his own songs: Strawberry Blonde and I could never lie to you.
(The songs are included below so you can listen to them independent from the podcast.)
