I was leaving a concert last month in beautiful Portsmouth, NH. A friend of mine and I walked from our hotel, about a mile into downtown to see Zepparella, a band who's members have been on previous episodes. On the walk back to our hotel, it started raining, heavily. We had to dive for cover in a nearby bar. As we entered, we see this guy singing a 90s grunge cover with nothing but his microphone and an acoustic guitar. Throughout the show, I became more impressed not only by his song choice, but by his voice.

Colin Hart has a voice for the ages. And I had to ask him to be on the podcast.

Fast forward a few weeks later - here we are!! In this episode Colin and I talk about everything from being a local touring musician, writing songs, recording his own songs and we also share stories of how losing loved ones … the pain that it has caused and how we live through that pain to attack another day!

Please enjoy this episode, #87, my discussion with musician Singer/Songwriter Colin Hart.

She also has recorded several solo albums and has a strong presence, (no pun intended) on YouTube where she has over 44K subscribers and over 80 instructional videos – breaking down how to learn different songs written by great rock n’ roll and classical artists.

Returning to the AlbumReview.Net podcast is sportswriter, music writer and book author Andy Frye. Andy was a guest back in 2022 on Episode #39 and I’m delighted to have him back again!

Andy is currently a sportswriter for Forbes and has previously written for Rolling Stone, ESPN, and other publications. During our last conversation, we discussed in detail his book, 90 Days in The Nineties, which was released in the summer of 2022. Andy has interviewed professional athletes such as Tom Brady, Venus Williams, Rory McIlroy, Shaquille O’Neal, and musicians such as Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains and Noel Gallagher from Oasis to name a few. He is also a DJ at CHIRP Radio in Chicago, currently on as DJ MDash every Friday from 12pm – 3pm Central.

Andy’s book, 90 Days in The Nineties, which is strongly recommend picking up a copy, is in works being optioned as a Movie. We’ll get into that today as well!

Because Andy is a long time resident of Chicago and an advocate for the local music scene, he and I are going to talk about some artists and bands from Chicago such as Ratboys, Neptune's Core, Pinksqueeze, Friko, Fig Dish and many others that you MUST PUT ON YOUR RADAR!!
