Foxx on the Wire podcast

Bailey Slade is my special guest on Episode #33 of Foxx on the Wire! The main reason we caught up for a chat this week is because Bailey has put something really special together in this difficult time of no live music - he's organised an Instagram live stream of 18 different acts called Cabin Fever Fest! 

Cabin Fever Fest takes place this coming Friday the 1st of May and kicks off at 1pm and runs all afternoon and into the night. Check out the Instagram page and listen to this episode for more details. 

Bailey is also an extremely talented songwriter in his band Past Present who released their album 'The Beast and the Burden' in late 2018 available here on Bandcamp. 

Thanks for coming on the show Bailey! Check out us on Friday night live on Instagram!

More episodes coming reeeeeal soon...

For episode #32 of Foxx on the Wire I chat with someone who has featured heavily in my career as Acoustic Foxx right from the first EP I recorded as Acoustic Foxx, Michael Yule.

I recorded my first EP 'Silence in Circles' with Michael at his studio in 2012, and would go on to record my debut album 'Guiding Light' with him in 2015. Of course we talk more about this during our chat, particularly in Part 2 of our chat (coming soon). 

Part 1 naturally focuses more on whats going on now with COVID -19 and how it's upended our very way of life, especially in Michael's case being a full time musician. 

Michael can do it all - he's a singer, songwriter, guitarist, loop artist, studio engineer, producer, gig booker, live sound tech you name it. We talk about all of it.

Unfortunately Skype was very "glitchy" during this episode so i thank you for your patience. 

Check out Michael's website here http://WWW.MICHAELYULE.COM

 

Part 2 of our chat will be out soon, for now please enjoy part 1. Thanks to Michael for coming on the show...

See y'all again very soon.

Ep #31 features Melbourne based Musician Aaron Schembri. We chatted about the direct impacts Covid-19 has had on Aaron's career, and the broader impacts it's had on musicians in general and of course the community as a whole.

A few weeks ago when this virus first started to take effect on the community as a whole, events and gigs were being cancelled everywhere. Aaron decided to start a Spotify Playlist of amazing Aussie talent called the '2020 Australian Covid19 Playlist' to help out muso's and get their songs out there. Please check it out and give it a spin!

Aaron released his debut album 'City Light's' in Sept 2019 we talk about the making of that and some of the amazing guests he had feature on the album. 

Big thanks to Aaron for coming on the Podcast great to have a chat, next time we'll do it in person. Please folks don't forget to support your musicians any way you can during this difficult time.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Episode #30 features the hugely talented singer, guitarist, songwriter and gun for hire JOE LAF. Joe and I have been aiming to do this episode for while but conflicting schedules got in our way.

I thought now was a great time to get Joe on the Podcast during this difficult time for everyone with COVID-19 basically effecting everyone's life. Joe is a full-time musician and has basically had all his gigs and all his work cancelled. 

Via Skype we also chat about Joe's awesome new single 'I ain't your man anymore'.

With basically all live music essentially being cancelled we discussed ways in which fans and people who love music can support musicians in need and help them at this difficult time. Very important.

It was great to have Joe Laf on the show he's an awesome talent so please check him out on all his socials.

Here's a letter from APRA explaining the situation and how Music and hospitality sectors call for urgent support. Check it out here.

As we mentioned during this episode Aaron Schembri put together a Spotify Playlist for local Australian Musician's. Four and half hours worth of fantastic Aussie Music - Check it out here 2020 Australian COVID 19 Playlist

Thanks for tuning in folks, take care out there.

For the very first time here at Foxx on the Wire, Ep#26 takes us Internationally all the way from Melbourne across the Pacific Ocean to the United States - Nashville Tennessee to be exact. 

I spoke with Todd Burman of The White Wolves who is originally from Melbourne Australia. He made the move over to the U.S a few years back as he discusses in depth on this episode, he now resides permanently in Nashville which has a thriving music scene. 

For a muso like me, Nashville feels like it's so far away and it's so interesting to hear about what it's like over there. I would love to be there. It was fascinating to hear all about it and I think everyone who listens to this episode will find it incredibly interesting and informative.

Todd didn't hold back anything he was outward with all of his experience and knowledge in which I'm very grateful for. He has a great story to tell. In his own words "you have to give back". 

I want to thank Todd very much for his time.

Big thank you to Luciano Alvaro (drummer) from the band Teargas who joined me here at Foxx on the Wire for episode #25. Teargas has just released their new single ‘Make up your mind’ which is their first release in 13 years!

Luciano has the high energy you want in a drummer and it comes out in his playing and when you talk with him. He also teaches drums to many students at his studio ‘Loochadore Music’ check out his Facebook page here Luciano Alvaro - Drummer/Teacher.

Looch clearly knows his stuff when it comes to music and drumming, but also when it comes to health and fitness. Talking about that with him could have been a whole other episode. But as you find out through our convo, it's all related - "healthy body, healthy mind".

I really enjoyed this chat Looch is a great guy, very nice guy and I hope you enjoy it too. Check out his pages above and the new single from Teargas.

Next episode with feature Todd Burman all the way from Nashville, USA!

Thanks for tuning in,
