2 million streams! When you listen to her creations, you will know why she is so popular. Anastasia went to Nashville 15 years ago for a month to write songs and find her creative boundaries. She never went home and she hasnt stopped creating! This multi talented singer/songwriter also commands the stage with her showmanship and her eclectic homemade costumes. No two shows are alike and Anastasia likes to challenge and stump her listeners by hiding "Easter eggs" through out her pieces. Her newly released album is strategically formatted to tell a story. The stories were captivating and educational. One back story tells of her writings of "Crash Landing" which had endless interpretations, but only two months later had a definite message after she found herself in a life and death situation when the Northwest flight she was on landed wrong and skidded down the runway, bursting into flames. Follow her and buy some of her extensive swag.

Author, journalist, music critic Jim Sullivan joined us about his new book "Backstage & Beyond Vol. 2: 45 Years of Classic Rock Chats & Rants. This is a follow up to his volume 1 edition. The difference between the two comes down to a split between eras. Volume 1 covers Classic Rock from the '50s and 60s. Vol 2 picks up where that one leaves off covering the '70s '80s and ’90s. Twenty-one of them are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Jim Sullivan — a 2023 inductee into the New England Music Hall of Fame — spent 26 years writing for the Boston Globe and two decades more writing for national publications. He has interviewed and reviewed countless musicians, many of them multiple times. Access to such A-list stars is hard to come by in the first place, but Sullivan got to know many of them well enough to engage on a far more intimate level than journalists usually can or do.Rather than simply collect up previously published articles as they originally appeared, Sullivan combed through his archive to find everything he wrote about each artist and worked them together into a more expansive time-passages view that chronicles their changing situations, outlooks and experiences.Backstage & Beyond Volume 1 includes fascinating, entertaining and occasionally hair-raising profiles of Jerry Lee Lewis, Ian Hunter & Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Nico, Brian Eno, Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music, Robert Fripp & King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Warren Zevon, Pete Townshend, Ray Davies & the Kinks, Dave Davies, Ginger Baker, Leonard Cohen, Marianne Faithfull, John Fogerty, Tina Turner, Neil Young, Richard Thompson, Darlene Love, Alice Cooper, Peter Wolf & the J.

Valerie Giglio joined Mark and John in studio for a great conversation. Valerie is an accomplished Jazz musician who has modernized her performances and made herself into an Electric Swing Songstress. Valerie has released two CD's and is working on a new project in what one could call a miraculous second call for her career. Valerie sang with the legendary AL Vega, her first CD release "Songbook" is a collection of her favorite standards backed by the Al Vega Trio. Her second CD release "The Italian Project" is an Italian language CD celebrating the music from the era of La Dolce Vita as well as Italian contemporary songs and Italian versions of classic American hits. At 42 years old, Valerie was succeeding as a lawyer and flourishing as a vocalist. Her world was turned upside down when she suffered a brain stem stroke which left her paralyzed on her entire left side. Confined to a wheel chair and having to endure endless rehabilitation in order to regain control of her body, Valerie was faced with a very dark reality... she had lost her singing voice. With fierce determination, the support of her husband Mark and family and her healthcare team Valerie overcame all hurdles. "Many amazing friends and family members stood by me during the tough times. They visited me in the hospital the week or so I was there, they came by or called or texted when I was home again. Even acquaintances became wonderful friends." One year later Valerie took to the stage in her second act. With members of her rehab team and a reporter from the Boston Globe in the room, Valerie took to the stage at Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant and Lounge in Somerville. She was the featured singer on the bill for Chick Singer Night. In June, 2021 she released her debut Electro Swing release "Starlite Ballroom" with an upcoming album to follow. What we learned during our interview with Valerie is that she is a determined fighter that doesn't give up! As part of her fight back she wrote a memoir, Singing In My Own Key, it details her triumph over stroke and it is a great read. She is also on the about to start appearing with a new duo project Starlight Vibes with fellow musician Samuel Cerra.

Massachusetts native, US Army Sergeant First Class Jared Monti, died while serving in Afghanistan in 2006. Jared was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2009. Jared's father, Paul, has driven Jared’s truck since his death as a way to remember and feel connected to him. Paul’s story inspired the 2013 #1 Country Song recorded by Lee Brice, “I Drive Your Truck” written by Jessi Alexander, Connie Harrington, and Jimmy Yeary. The truck, a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 became a symbol of a father's love and a place would take friends for rides and tell the story of Jared's life. Shanna was fortunate to be able to spend time riding in the truck with Paul. Shanna and Paul became friends through their shared experiences supporting The Gold Star Families and all military memorial organizations. Shanna Jackman, while known for her many performances of the National Anthem (for the Boston Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics, Revolution and many other numerous charity, Military and sporting events), is also a Nashville recording artist having released her first self titled EP in 2013. Shanna has had the opportunity to be featured with artists such as Ronnie Dunn, Blake Shelton, Sara Evans, Gretchen Wilson, Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Darryl Worley, Lee Brice, Little Big Town, Collin Raye, Jo-Dee Messina, and Steve Azar.

Our episode 14 guest proves that music is truly a universal language. Sadam Seguya zooms in to M&B and gives us the insights on traditional African music, instruments and dancing. Sadam is a grateful and inspirational 21 year old Ugandan citizen that has dedicated his life to keeping the music, instruments and dancing from his ancestors alive and giving his predecessors more that he was accustomed to. His aspirations of teaching the local children music and giving them the instruments and place to learn is a priority for Sadam. The local instruments he makes are from all natural resources in the area. He explains that when you remove a resource, you must plant a new one so future generations may benefit in the same way. Although there was a slight language barrier, his message is very powerful and inspirational. This for sure was not a genre that we ever thought that we would be able to explore until fate hit M&B until we received a message from him admiring our mission to share the love of all types of music and musicians (and beyond). We know you will love this one !!

The multi talented Rachel Sumner gives us the great insights into her song writing. Rachel has gained critical acclaim and national attention for winning "The Lennon Award." Awarded as part of a contest for song writing on behalf of John Lennon by Yoko Ono Lennon and judged by the biggest names in the industry. Check her out and pre order her new incredible album today at https://rachelsumnermusic.com and make sure you follow her on all her socials!
With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Rachel Sumner has been captivating audiences throughout the northeast with her exciting new band Traveling Light. While their instrumentation and textures show roots deep in bluegrass and traditional folk music, Sumner's lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle/harmonies), Ira Klein (acoustic guitar), and Mike Siegel (upright bass).
Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit, singing and writing with the genre-bending Boston group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own, Sumner's songs have been critically acclaimed, winning the Lennon Award in the folk category of the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her song "Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);" earning her a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen two consecutive years by WBUR/NPR as one of the top Massachusetts entries in the Tiny Desk Competition.
Originally a classical flutist from the dusty Mojave desert, Sumner relocated from California to Boston a decade ago intending to study Composition and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music. While at school, she found herself in the orbit of roots musicians like Molly Tuttle, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, and John Mailander who introduced her to a trove of traditional music, started her off with a few chords on the guitar, and encouraged her to write her own songs. In the short time since, Rachel has become one of the most vital voices in Boston's thriving roots music scene. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light will release their debut LP in the summer of 2022.
