Episode 11
Doing this episode was just one of those times where everything just... fell into place in the perfect way. We had just started up the Mobile Micro Shows and I saw Hella A Cappella on Facebook. I knew just by their name that we had to do an episode with them. I posted a message on their wall and sent them a message explaining the podcast and asking them to be on the show. After a couple months of talking, and a couple missed opportunities, we finally set a date.

Episode 10: Very Pretty Pigeon
Episode 10
It's hard to describe Very Pretty Pigeon. They're the largest group we've worked with so far (9 members!) and each person comes from a different musical background. Add the fact that all 9 of them play an instrument, and you have a medley that just... works. Banjo, accordian, saxophone, guitar, drums, bass, and more. It's impossible not to get as excited as they are when they're playing.

Episode 9: Nicole Williams
Nicole Williams was just one of the poets that opened for Jared Paul at Maytan Music on 4/23. She had suffered a concussion a week prior, but was strong and courageous enough to go up on stage anyway, and she delivered. We then had the opportunity to ask her a few questions.
Episode 8: The Photography of Sound
Episode 8
They may have just started, but the Photography of Sound has already formed a great experience. They mix music, spoken word, and performance poetry, and add a dash of their own humor and style into what they do. They performed before Jared Paul at Maytan Music on 4/23 and then let us ask them a few questions.

Episode 7: Jared Paul
Episode 7
To call Jared Paul a spoken word poet would just be the tip of the iceberg. And if you label him as an activist or a hip hop artist, you're still barely scratching the surface. He doesn't just write, he doesn't just speak and protest, he's an activist that's actually active, he tours the country to speak and holds meetings and events in his hometown, and he also finds the time for his hip-hop group, Prayers for Atheists. We were lucky enough to have him come to Reno and he agreed to meet with us and do a private show and answer a few questions.

Swing, Big Band, and Jazz isn't as popular as it used to be. But there are still people that assemble each week to play it, and each month at the Elk's Lodge in Reno, NV Russ Lindquist's Sierra Swing Big Band plays for three hours as people dance like it's 1930 again.

Episode 5: Crush
Episode 5
Crush is one of those bands that just bursts with talent. They are real musicians who like to experiment and aren’t afraid to think outside of the box. They mix things like 90′s grunge, folk vocals, and dubstep underneath their instruments to create a strange yet awesome sound. We’ve been wanting to film them for a while but finally had the chance before they did a show. We invaded their practice session in their living room, they played a whole set for us, and let us pick the 2 songs we liked the most. It was hard narrowing it down, but “Amy” and “Maribell” were the winners. Enjoy!
