A Conversation with Bill Mumy – HuffPost 6.20.11

Mike Ragogna: Bill, let’s start with your new release, Glorious In Defeat. It’s like you’re 23rd album? Bill Mumy: (laughs) Probably, if you add them all up with everybody involved.

Bill Mumy – HuffPost 6.20.11

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists? Bill Mumy: Advice? Just be true to your own creative voices. There’s no point in trying to be Justin Timberlake or trying to be Paul McCartney.

A Conversation with Jonathan Elias – HuffPost 6.17.11

Mike Ragogna: Jonathan, who are some of your early musical influences? Jonathan Elias: I would have to say Debussy and Stravinsky and The Doors. As a kid, I was a bit of an oddball with a passion for classical music. The Doors really got me into rock music at 12, they were my first concert. […]

A Conversation with Viva Voce’s Kevin & Anita Robinson – HuffPost 6.17.11

Mike Ragogna: Kevin and Anita, “viva voce” loosely translates into “living voice.” Is that how you would describe yourselves? Kevin Robinson: We found the phrase meaning “…by word of mouth..” and discovered it had similar enough definitions in many languages, which we thought was cool.

Viva Voce’s Kevin & Anita Robinson – HuffPost 6.17.11

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists? Anita Robinson: Play as much as possible, so you’ll get good at overcoming obstacles during a show–drunk heckler, drunk sound person, drunk band mates. Wait, maybe just avoid playing in bars? Not sure that’s really an option. Kevin Robinson: Write a song better than “The […]
