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 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.
