Episode 4 of INSPIRATION/INFORMATION with Host Imran Mirza of blueingreenradio.com finds us in the wonderful company of California-based artist and musician, Eki Shola.  Currently promoting the release of her fifth sensational album, Shola's boundless talents as a writer, composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist are on full display for '還 (Kaeru)' as she fully immerses herself within a riveting Japanese aesthetic.  Having grown up in a musical family, pursuing the passion may very well have always been in Shola's destiny in some form or another.  Through the bold strides she has taken throughout her career to date, Eki continues her family's legacy taking it to inspirational new heights.  Through our typical 3 question presentation, we're so thrilled to have secured time with Eki Shola to delve into her first musical hero, the song she wishes she had written and whether the music industry is harder to break into within today's climate.

Episode 10 of EYE ON THE EAST VILLAGE features guest MAX WOLF FRIEDLICH, playwright of "JOB," now playing at The Connelly Theater on E. 4th Street.  For the series' first co-production with Hi-Note Radio/Bar on Avenue B, guest Host and "Eye On The East Village" Producer Jason Charles sits down with the writer of The NY Times Critic's Pick "Job," which has already extended its run at the Connelly, due to popular demand, rave reviews and blowing up on TikTok and Instagram.  The show debuted last fall at the Soho Playhouse, where it was extended twice, and moved to its current home in the East Village in January of 2024.  The downtown native and accomplished theater creator talks about developing the show, his thoughts about why it has struck such a nerve with theatergoers, what inspired him to write this tale of therapy and the tech world, and much more!

"JOB" is playing at the Connelly Theater on East 4th Street between A & B, now through March 23rd.  We will keep you posted on its next move, which we are sure will be very soon!
