Friggin Fabulous Radio (podcasts)
Fabulous interviews with fascinating musicians, artists, authors and other super interesting folks!

I had the distinct pleasure to interview, book and do sound for Jens Jepsen while he was in NYC. Jens is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter from Denmark (and he plays a mean guitar as well). He just toured the tri-state area with Kristian Odegard, who played cajon and sang back up vocals. His album "Walking Between The Sun And The Atmosphere" is a gem, and it was an honor to get to know him.

I sat down with Chris Sheard, Lead Vocalist and Guitarist for The Times at Blind Tiger on Bleecker Street in NYC. These Brooklynites mix Ska, Reggae, Funk, well, just about everything and if you don't move your feet to their beats, you probably don't have a pulse!

Lynda McLaughlin and Valerie Gurka are two friends who met at a cover band gig in an Irish bar in New York in 2005. They both share passion for music performance, production, business, media and technology. Their music is hard to clasify because it spans multiple genres. If you like Sade, The Gypsy Kings and Shayna Zaid, you're going to really dig LYVA!

"White Boy Brown" is poignant and moving film about a black family that adopts a white child. It deals with the subjects of racism, discrimination and redemption. This is one of the few films that has ever moved me to tears.It's part of the African Diaspora International Film Festival being held at St. Paul's Church, 38 Duncan Ave., Jersey City, Saturday and Sunday, January 15th and 16th, 2011.
