John Doe is our guest for Episode 111. John Doe is a singer, songwriter, poet, actor, and multi-instrumentalist perhaps best known as co-founder of the seminal 1980s LA punk band X. The influence of X on generations of musicians can not be overstated.

The song you are hearing in this episode is “Destroying Angels” from Fables in a Foreign Land.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 110 | Matt Woods

This is Episode 110 and our guest for the second time is Matt Woods. Matt is a singer and songwriter from East Tennessee who earlier this year completed a residence here in central Florida that he called Songs Matter where he and songwriters around the Sunshine State sat down to swap songs and talk about process. Since we last spoke he also released an outstanding EP called Mornings After, which could be my favorite of his wonderful catalog, and a re-release of his debut record the Matt Woods Manifesto which recently celebrated ten years in the world.

Matt was the last Marinade interview we did just before the world shut down from the COVID-19 crisis. That week was my first time meeting him but he treated me like an old friend from day one. Matt Woods is a hell of a songwriter and a kind soul.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 109 | Ryan Sollee (The Builders and the Butchers)

The Marinade with Jason Earle, a free-flowing conversation about the creative process, welcomes Ryan Sollee. Ryan is the principal singer and songwriter for The Builders and the Butchers. The Builders and the Butchers came into my life at a very formative time with their debut self-titled record in 2007. I was in my 20s, trying to figure out what adult me would look like- a little angsty, disillusioned yet hopeful, and curious about the world. Ryan Sollee’s tunes seemed to capture what I was feeling. 

All these years later, The Builders and the Butchers have a wonderful new record of foot-stomping anthems called Hell & High Water, which was released on May 6th, 2022. This conversation is such a thrill, y’all.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 98 | Justin Corsbie

Justin Corsbie. Justin is a filmmaker whose first feature length film is must viewing for any film lover and tailor made for fans of The Marinade. Hard Luck Love Song was inspired by the Todd Snider song “Just Like Old Times.” Snider is of course a frequent subject of conversation on this podcast and one of the most beloved guests in The Marinade’s history.

Hard Luck Love Song is a film in the spirit of The Marinade not only because of the Todd connection. It is a work born of a fit of inspiration, an improbable explosion of creativity from a filmmaker who had a vision, big dreams, and an uncompromising will to make his work come to life. 

After a nationwide theater run, Hard Luck Love Song is now streaming on all major platforms. You can watch it here.
