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.

The song you are hearing in this episode is "Tonight Belongs To You" from Matt's new album The Hammer & The Rose.

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.

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.

Chris Robeson | The Marinade Episode 174

After writing 1000 songs and recording several albums in solitude, Chris Robeson has finally released his debut album Euphoriphobia and it is outstanding. I love when a record has one foot in the world of singer songwriters and the other planted among indie rock giants. That’s what Euphoriphobia does. My conversation with Chris is about overcoming mental blocks, processing tragedy and fear, the craft of songwriting, and so much more! Everyone, it is my pleasure to bring you my conversation with Chris Robeson.

Rich Ruth is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music blends elements of doom, stoner, drone rock into spiritual jazz. He has toured with S.G. Goodman and Circles Around the Sun and played with a murderers row of incredible collaborators. But it’s his latest record Water Still Flows that has a stranglehold on my attention lately. Y’all, I understandably get pigeonholed as an Americana fan. But I love stoner rock and jazz and so many genres. Every so often a record like this comes along and blows my mind. I am so grateful Rich agreed to sit down for an episode of The Marinade.

Boulevards | The Marinade Episode 172

Boulevards is the nom de plume of Jamil Rashad whose latest record Carolina Funk: Barn Burner on Tobacco Road is among my favorites of the year. As Jamil puts it, “He did not want to be a carbon copy and make the same record as my favorite influences growing up. The objective was to make a record that was creative, raw, infectious, syncopated basslines, tight drums, punchy horns that brings a soulful element to the funk.” Objective accomplished. This is as fresh and interesting a record as I have heard in a long time.
