    Episode 29 - Kenn Kweder

    Singer-Songwriter Kenn Kweder has been a fixture of the Philly music scene for going on six decades. And being from Philadelphia, it's no surprise that independence is one of the guiding forces behind his career path, his songwriting, his performing and his lifestyle. He is fiercely independent. His experience working with The Ramones, Patti Smith and Cheap Trick shows the level of his talent, but the fact that he has played in the neighborhood of 1,500 gigs at Smokey Joes, a University of Pennsylvania bar, for thirty years straight truly defines the dedication he holds to what he does as a performer. And what he delivers. Join us on this fascinating musical and life journey of "The Bard of Southstreet," one of Philly's icons, but more importantly, an iconoclast who created his own set of rules. Simplicity in life, complexity in career. That's Kenn Kweder.

    Episode 28 - John Byrne

    John Byrne's songs invariably tell a story. Which is no surprise considering the compelling tale of the path that led the Dublin, Ireland native to become one of Philadelphia's most prominent performers. And his musical reach extends far beyond the East Coast. Leader and frontman of The John Byrne Band, Byrne's music is a combination of Celtic and American Folk, and speaks from the heart. Tales of life, often semi-autobiographical in nature, appear both in his songs and in his recent dive into screenwriting, and in this conversation with Dan May as he shares the journey of one transplanted Dubliner become music maker, writer and teacher.
