The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 123 | DL Rossi

DL Rossi is a singer, songwriter, painter, all around creative who makes his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His latest record titled SDNIL is a huge and triumphant stylistic shift from the album of his that really got my attention, 2021’s Lonesome Kind. Rossi and I have been meaning to catch up for a while now and I am so grateful we made it happen. We talk about overcoming trauma, the soundtrack in your head, taking creative risks and so much more. This was an absolute blast and I am so excited to bring it your way.

The song you are hearing in this episode is “Lover (What’s the Deal)”

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 118 | Isaac Gibson (49 Winchester)

This is Episode 118 and our guest is Isaac Gibson. Isaac is the principal songwriter and lead singer for the band 49 Winchester. The band’s unique brand of country music has taken them to the Ryman stage, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and in front of growing crowds. Rolling Stone has described Gibson as possessing a chill-inducing howl that’s not far off from Chris Stapleton’s! Y’all, the opportunities and hype are well deserved. This band is for real. 49 Winchester’s latest record is called Fortune Favors the Bold and you will no doubt find it on plenty of 2022 year-end lists for very good reason.

We caught up with Isaac via Zoom while he was off the road and back home in Virginia.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 115 | Blue Dogs

 This is Episode 115 and our guests are Bobby Houck and Hank Futch of the band Blue Dogs.

Blue Dogs has been around since the late 1980s, y’all. My introduction to the band came with 1999s Letters From Round O. Letters from Round O brought the band to a broader, dedicated audience. The guys slowed down a little in the 2000s. They kept making music and playing shows but limited touring and studio work for a while until this year’s Sadler Vaden produced record called Big Dreamers.

Y’all I have been a fan of Blue Dogs for twenty plus years and Big Dreamers is my favorite thing they have done. Hank and Bobby are the kind of guess I envisioned when we started The Marinade and this conversation displays why that is the case.
