Grounded Summer 2025 | Home, The Allman Brothers, R&R

The Marinade's third annual Grounded Summer Tour rolls on! I am on a road trip from Orlando, FL, to Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN, and beyond. The goal of these trips is to unwind, meet cool people, take in some great art, and reflect on life. On this episode I tell tales from going home to visit my family, embarking on an Allman Brothers pilgrimage, and spending some time not watching the clock.

Stay tuned to The Marinade on the all of the socials so you don't miss any of the action.

Preston Canavan | The Marinade Episode 191

Preston Canavan is a comedian from Winter Park, FL, who is one of my favorites doing it right now. I have the pleasure of getting to see him perform at my favorite third space in the world, Barley and Vine Biergarten just steps away from my home. Every time I have seen Preston perform, he has left me doubled over laughing. 

This conversation was no exception. Y’all, I am sometimes a dumb dumb. I am learning how to use fancy new equipment gifted by one of our wonderful Patreon patrons Seth Gill. Aaaand, I didn’t record the first conversation with Preston. He came over on a Thursday, we caught lightning in a bottle, and it only exists as a cell phone video. 

Have no fear, dear listener. First, I published the video in its entirety - bloopers and all - on our Patreon. You can watch that by subscribing or you can pay for it a la carte. I promise it’s worth the watch. 

Second, Preston being the sweetheart he is, agreed to come over a second time and we had another incredible conversation. I know I say this is one of my favorites all the time, but this is one of my all time favorites. Preston is a bright light and I am so grateful for these conversations. Everyone, it is my honor to bring you my conversation with Preston Canavan.

Kelsey Waldon | The Marinade Episode 190

Kelsey Waldon has established herself as an artist firmly in tune with herself as a writer yet not content with resting on her sterling reputation. With each record her pen has further flowered, culminating in this instance with an invigorating album that pays homage to country music’s past while forging toward a confessional, self-reflective, vulnerable brand of tunes that stands out even among many of her esteemed peers.

Given that she was introduced to a broader audience when she signed with the late, legendary John Prine’s Oh Boy Records in 2019, one would be forgiven for thinking Kelsey is relatively new to the music scene. On the contrary, she has paid her dues and the years of honing her craft jump out on Every Ghost.

Caitlin Cannon | The Marinade Episode 189

Caitlin Cannon is a powerhouse singer, songwriter, actor, and comedian. Her new record Love Addict is chock full of bangers that grabbed me on the first listen. It’s got country in it with some psychedelica. The album is a sonic and lyrical journey that pushes the envelope. 

On some episodes, you really connect with the guest. I feel like this is one of those episodes. Everyone, it is my honor to bring you, my conversation with Caitlin Cannon.

The song you are hearing in this episode is "Love Addict" from Caitlin's album of the same name.

Matt Andersen | The Marinade Episode 187

Matt Andersen is a singer and songwriter from New Brunswick, Canada whose career has spanned over twenty years and somehow, despite his work being very much in my wheelhouse, I am just now learning about it all. This man’s voice, his playing, his writing- it all shines on each of his records and especially so on his new record The Hammer & The Rose. The Hammer & The Rose was released on April 25, 2025 and it is squarely on my 2025 superlatives list.

Before I get to my conversation with Matt, I want to thank three new Patreon patrons! Bob Beatty, Seth Gill, and Tom Romito have all joined our Patreon community lately. Patreon.com/marinadepodcast if you would like to support The Marinade and enjoy some bonus content.

Steve Poltz | The Marinade Episode 185

Steve Poltz is a singer and songwriter originally from Nova Scotia, raised in Southern California, and now making his home in Nashville. He made a name for himself first with his band The Rugburns and later, more famously, as co-writer with Jewel including the mega hit “You Were Meant For Me.”

If you are of a certain age, you will remember the video for that song. A spare room with Jewel playing guitar and a dude dressed like 1996. That dude is Steve Poltz himself! Fifteen-year-old me would be losing his mind.

Hell, 44-year-old me is losing his mind at this opportunity. Steve’s latest record Stardust & Satellites is outstanding!

We recorded this episode after Steve’s enchanting set during Suwannee Spring Reunion 2025 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Everyone, it is my great honor to bring you my conversation with Steve Poltz!

The song you are hearing in this episode is "It's Baseball Season" from Steve's excellent record Stardust & Satellites.

Grey DeLisle | The Marinade Episode 184

Grey DeLisle is an acclaimed actor and Grammy-winning musician whose latest record is an immediate contender for my favorite of the year. Where does one begin to introduce a powerhouse like Grey DeLisle? For decades she was the voice of Daphne in the Scooby Doo series. She plays Azula in Avatar The Last Airbender. Her music has been compared to Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. Just an all around badass and very cool person.

BJ Barham is the creative force behind one of my all time favorite bands American Aquarium. BJ was on my short list of dream guests when I started this thing back in 2016 and I was thrilled that he agreed to be my very first Marinade guest! 

American Aquarium released perhaps my favorite of their albums The Fear of Standing Still earlier this year. BJ is a man who is dedicated to his craft and each album showcases the growth he and his band have attained. He is an inspiration and I am honored to have gotten to know him a little over the years.

Amythyst Kiah | The Marinade Episode 178

Amythyst Kiah is a Grammy-nominated songwriter whose Butch Walker produced record Still and Bright is one of my favorites of 2024. This follows her 2021 release Wary and Strange which has been my steady road trip companion ever since. I have wanted to sit down with Amythyst for years!

Daryl Hance | The Marinade Episode 177

Daryl Hance is a songwriter and guitar player from Duval County, Florida, whose music has been in my life for over twenty years. 

I first learned of Daryl during his time with the band Mofro, now J.J. Grey and Mofro. He hasn’t been with that band for a while and since gone on to carve a handful of wonderful solo records. I’ve long said his guitar playing is like a fingerprint. Maybe it’s the Florida boy in me. Maybe it’s the country boy in me. That swampy sound so few can capture with authenticity is hyper-present in Daryl’s work and I am ready for more and more. 

Daryl’s latest record is called “Devil’s Millhopper,” it is available wherever you consume music, and you can buy a digital copy on bandcamp.com.
