We started The Sound Podcast to give rise to music and musicians inspired by the Grateful Dead and the Jamband community. In my little Deadhead community, Mars Hotel is doing just that. Friends? Sure. Musicians? Positively. A great vibe? Absolutely. We sat down with Mars Hotel last week after a rehearsal and got the scoop on what makes them tick.

Episode 13: Mars Hotel

Little Feat’s story is one of longevity, an incredible catalogue of tunes, and excellent musicianship. The latest incarnation of the band, might be the closest we’ve heard since the band was formed back in 1969 by Lowell George, Billy Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada. The current line up is on tour most of the spring well into the summer, and they’re releasing an album full of blues covers and a few originals entitled Sam’s Place featuring percussionist turned vocalist Sam Clayton May 17th. I got up with keyboardist Billy Payne and current guitar player and friend of the show Scott Sharrard to get the lowdown on all things Feat. 

First song: Can't Be Satisfied

Second song: You'll Be Mine

We’ve waited five years for noted singer songwriter Cris Jacobs to release new music. Fortunately his latest effort “One of These Days” is now available  wherever you buy and listen to music and it’s one of my favourites of the year so far. Backed by the Infamous Stringdusters and produced by Jerry Douglas, the new album is a blend of rock, soul, gospel and of course bluegrass. Obviously we had to talk to Cris about the new record, mental health and much more. Have a listen.



First song: Work Song

Second song: Daughter, Daughter
