Listen in as I chat with John Ford Coley! He talks about how simple rejection in the Los Angeles music scene ultimately led him to Nashville.  What does Coley think about the modern labeling of '70s classics as "yacht rock"?  Plus, what will you see and hear at his upcoming performance with a full orchestra at the Yacht Rock Symphony, June 23 at Ascend Amphitheater.  If you have 5 minutes (oe so) give it a listen...

5 Minutes with... hosted by Moose, because apparently anyone with a beard and a microphone gets a podcast now. He talks to people from music, movies, TV, and right here in the neighborhood. Five minutes. No prep. No polish. Just good conversation and mild regret.

Perfect for short attention spans and long commutes.

John Ford Coley

Ever wonder what it takes to fill the shoes of the guy who sang Juke Box Hero and I Want to Know What Love Is? Yeah... no pressure.

We got 5 minutes with Foreigner's new frontman, Luis Maldonado, and he's about as down-to-earth as they come. He talks about getting Lou Gramm's blessing, why band founder Mick Jones trusted him with one of rock's greatest catalogs, and why he insists the real stars have always been the songs.

Luis also shares what it's like going from hearing Cold As Ice on the radio in his mom's kitchen to standing on stage watching teenagers—and their parents—belt every word back at him.

Oh, and they play the Ryman August 11th.

Hit play and hear more, it's only 5 (Or so) Minutes.

Luis Maldonado (New Lead Singer of Foreinger)

We got 5 minutes with guitar legend Adrian Vandenberg just before his upcoming stop at The Basement East on Thursday, August 20th, 2026, for the My Whitesnake Years Tour with Marco Mendoza and Vinnie Moore.

Hear how he revealed the wild part of his musical story — he never learned to read music. He just hears it, feels it, and somehow his fingers translate the madness straight onto the fretboard. Plus, he talks about the instrument he mastered before he ever grabbed a guitar… and no, it’s not what you’re thinking.  

BTW - He also will happily take responsibility for a guitar-inspired fad that still hasn't gone outta style.

From Fan Club to Footlong Legend

Big Mike Sangiamo stopped by the JACK Studios (Big Mike is a longtime friend) to tell his story about a wild idea, that turned into him creating the biggest sandwich Subway has ever put on the menu: The Feast (or now the "5 Meat Italian")

I'm so glad he rolled thru Nashville, not just for the FREE Footlongs, but he's the best storyteller.  And he shared a little about how passion, dumb luck, a few miracles, and a whole lot of stubbornness took him from sandwich superfan to fast-food history.  It's the kind of story that reminds you life gets pretty interesting when you quit worrying about things you can't control.  Check out Big Mike's podcast, The Bread Loser, and hear the whole journey—from the first slice of bread to becoming part of Subway legend
