Johnny Rzeznik

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Johnny Rzeznik from the Goo Goo Dolls. Johnny and (bassist/vocalist) Robby Takac formed Goo Goo Dolls in Buffalo, New York in 1986, and since then, they’ve had 19 top ten singles on various charts, and wrote some of the biggest hits you’ve ever heard with songs like “Name – Broadway – Slide - Black Balloon - and Iris,” which held the number one spot for 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay… In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about how John grew enough confidence, persistence, and defiance to eventually become the lead singer for the band, the importance of vulnerability and gratitude, the beauty of longevity, how he keeps his voice in shape, making an emotional connection with the audience, and much much more…

Patty Griffin

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Grammy Award Winner Patty Griffin. One of the few people who can make me cry just by the sound of her voice. In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about the often lonely, boring life a singer leads if they truly care about their voice. Patty opens up about surviving cancer and having to build her voice back from nothing. But she is living proof that it can be done! We’re gonna hear about what it’s like for Patty to sing with Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, and much much more.

Al Shackman on Nina Simone

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Al Schackman on Nina Simone. As Nina’s guitarist and musical director, she was more like a sister than anything. But this wasn’t just any sister. This was the mercurial, controversial, enigmatic, “high Priestess of Soul.” And with that comes incredible stories of her immense talent and outrageous temper, her fight for what she believed when it could literally get her killed, and that voice, that voice, that VOICE!

Perry Farrell

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction, Porno for Pyros, Satellite Party) The man helped reinvent the sound of rock music forever. A visionary and a poet, Perry tells us how he got where he is today, connecting with his heart, exploring the sound of his own voice, and throwing it out to the crowd.

Roger Daltrey

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. My guest this week is too insane to believe. Because his name is Roger Daltrey. Who???? That’s right. The iconic singer of one of the most legendary, influential bands of the 20th century. In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about the unforgiving nature of being a front man, how he and Pete Townsend work out their songs, singing with your real voice, singing from your guts, the stutter stylings of ‘My Generation,’ why ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again” is his least favorite song to sing, you’ll hear me fan out about some deep cuts that I love, and learn how Tommy made him become a Rock God.
