“The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.”
~ Willie Dixon
More blues (and some shameless self-promotion) this week as I share some more home demos of rearranged blues standards in the lead up to the gig with my side project, Tuco’s Grill in a couple of weeks. I also have a look at how songs can be rearranged, repurposed and wonder how to tell when you’ve gone too far!

“The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential." ~ Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
Yes, this week I have the blues. But in a good way! Leading up to my blues band side project, ‘Tuco’s Grill’ playing its debut gig on March 6, I take a look at everything blue and share some exclusive, unreleased demos along the way, as well as some vintage recordings from the Melbourne live scene in the 90s. Lord have mercy!

When is a song that sounds like another a hat-tip and when is it a rip-off?
And in music, is there anything that isn’t an echo in some way of what came before it? These questions and more remain unanswered in this week’s episode, but I do share some new (old) music, as my gig with my blues side-project, ‘Tuco’s Grill’ gets closer!

To Spotify or not to Spotify? - that is the question. Obviously the answer in this instance is yes, but this week I delve into the recent Joe Rogan/Neil Young controversy and have a deeper look at what it means to be an artist on the popular music streaming platform. Also in this episode I preview another new track from my forthcoming album, as well as share another Highly Recommended playlist on Spotify. (Oh, the irony).

Lockdown. Self-isolation. Lip-smacking!
Get Back, Prince and new music. And even newer music!
This episode makes 6 of 6 but I think I'll keep going with another one next week too, now! There's more music to share.
I hope you enjoy this :-)

This week my computer died so all my plans for this episode were ruined! But luckily I was interviewed a day or two earlier by one of my students for a podcast assignment she had for school :) I was really flattered to be asked, and her questions were great - we ended up covering such diverse topics as: the impact of lockdown on musicians, the creative process, Indian music, Kate Bush & more. Thanks for listening. Follow me here or on YouTube. Visit SanzMantra.com to join the VIP Club :-)
This week I dive into the world of guitars: guitar parts, guitar solos and guitar effects, sharing some of the guitar solos from upcoming Sanz Mantra tracks along the way. I also take a look at inspiration and gig etiquette, as well as share an exclusive teaser for my next single, City Shrink. Kirby gets a walk and Peggy's neighbour pops his head in too. Thanks for listening. Follow me and share this with your friends for good Karma! Visit sanzmantra.com for more.
Welcome to the second episode of Sanz Mantra Studio. This week I look at the making of my debut single The Silent Crowd some more, as well as the role of auto-tune in modern music production. I also share some of my old home demos of the track! Watch out for a cameo from drummer Paul Richards, who played on the song. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the first episode of my new podcast Sanz Mantra Studio, where I'll be talking about everything that's going on in my musical world.
In this first episode, I cover the making of my debut single, The Silent Crowd - as well as looking at how and why I chose my project name, what I listen for in music and what inspired me to write the song.
I hope you enjoy this and thanks for listening!
