    Owen Burton (Ovven) | The Marinade Episode 223

    Owen Burton is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Chicago who now calls Nashville home. He came to my attention by making one of my favorite records in a long time. Ovven is the name of the project. Gnawing at the Cord is the name of the album. We talk quite a bit about how the record came together, so I'll save that for the man himself to relay. The story around all of this is worth mentioning. I covered Americanafest 2026 last month and got to see Ovven live at The Blue Room in Nashville. The Blue Room is a venue in Jack White's Third Man Records compound. Bob Beatty and I went together. Brown Horse preceded Ovven's set. I'm forever charmed by my future home of Nashville and this night exemplifies why. The Marinade is nine years old. I've had heroes on the show. Strangers. And everyone in between. It is always a treat to talk with someone who makes their art DIY. I posted a shitty cell phone photo of Ovven that night and Owen responded with gratitude. So I invited him to be a guest on The Marinade and not only did he agreed. We caught up in person before I left town for Florida that Sunday. Y'all, I am so excited to bring you my conversation with Owen Burton. https://www.ovvenmusic.com/ Go see Ovven on the road. 10/21/26 | The Heavy Door in St. Louis 10/22/26 | Beat Kitchen in Chicago 10/23/16 | The Rose Bowl in Urbana, IL 10/24/26 | Blockhouse in Bloomington, IN 1/16/27 | Yes in Machester, UK 1/17/27 | The Hug and Pint in Glasgow, UK 1/18/27 | Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, UK 1/20/27 | Bellobar in Dublin, Ireland 1/21/27 | The Deer's Head in Belfast, UK Support The Marinade on: Patreon- http://patreon.com/marinadepodcast Substack- https://substack.com/@marinadepodcast marinadepodcast.com

His forthcoming Oliver Wood produced record Arrive will land on November 6, 2026, and y'all, it is an album we will return to for many years to come. Expert writing. Assuasive melodies.

    Amy Martin | The Marinade Episode 219

    Amy Martin is a singer and songwriter from Virginia, who now makes her home in Colorado. Her latest record Bones is an introspective and emotionally satisfying success, and this conversation will give you a window into how she was able to create such a gorgeous piece of art. Y'all, I think this is one of those talks that folks will be referencing to me as their favorite Marinade episode for years to come.

    Colin Halliburton Returns | The Marinade Episode 218

    Colin Halliburton is the lead singer and principal songwriter for the Kansas-based band The Roseline. His poetic storytelling has been in my life for about five years now when I got turned on to The Rosline's 2021 release Constancy. The bar was set high with that record, and I think they cleared it with their brand new record 86 Gumption. Y'all, Colin is a delight. I'm so grateful for the music he makes and for his time and energy. Everyone, it is my pleasure to bring, for the second time, my conversation with Colin Halliburton!

    India Ramey | The Marinade Episode 217

    India Ramey is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee, whose latest record Villain Era is a middle finger to the musical status quo told through the sonic lens of a spaghetti western. She told her producer Eric Corne she wanted the album to sound like Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn had risen from the grave to score a Quentin Tarantino film. Yeah, I know. Incredibly cool concept and they knocked it out of the park. If you haven't listened, give Villain Era a spin as soon as you finish this conversation.

All My Faith was recorded in real time, over three days, and without edits. The songs revel in the beauty of love, aging, and simple moments. They find comfort in simple acts of kindness.

    John R. Miller | The Marinade Episode 215 (with special guest Jordan Foley)

    John R. Miller is a singer and songwriter from West Virginia who is one of the most unique voices in American music. His latest record The Great Unkowning has been garnering high praise and is way up on our list for the best of 2026. The album is sixteen songs that clip along and cover a ton of ground. His live show is a masterclass in performance. And, as you will hear in this conversation, he is a hell of an interesting guy. This episode is special for a few reasons, including a Marinade first.

    Nathan Evans Fox | The Marinade Episode 214

    Nathan Evans Fox is a singer, songwriter, thinker, activist, and all around bad ass from North Carolina who is doing what I see as crucial work. We get into so many reasons why in this episode. His incredible record Heirloom, which is probably my favorite of the year. His must read Substack, which includes his anti-confederate book club. His advocacy for working class Appalachian folks. I am continually impressed by Nathan and am grateful for the time and energy he shared with us.

    Brian Cullman | The Marinade Episode 213

    Brian Cullman is an acclaimed musician and journalist from New York whose memoir How to Prepare For The Past: Travels in Music and Time is one of my favorite reads of the year. The book tells tales of encounters with big names like Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, Big Joe Turner, Bo Diddley, George Martin, and more. But, the stories in these pages are deeply relatable and human. After just a few minutes talking to Brian, I realized why.

    Liam St. John | The Marinade Episode 212

    Liam St. John is a rock n' roll singer and songwriter whose debut studio full length record Man of the North was released in September of 2025. He climbed out of some dark places to deliver this record. His voice grabs you by the throat and takes you on a ride through religious trauma, family dynamics, toughness, pain, and self-discovery. I keep coming back to this record, and I think this conversation will help you understand why. Quick note: The first part of Liam's vocals did not record, so I'm dropping you off about fifteen minutes into the conversation. You'll be okay. That's showbiz, bayba!

    Ron Pope Talks Protest Songs | The Marinade and Records Revisited Crossover

    This is a crossover episode with my friends Ben Montgomery and Wayne Fugate from Records Revisited! Records Revisited is a show that celebrates the magic of music. Each episode they have a distinguished guest - I emphasize distinguished as I have appeared seven (?) times - as of this writing. The group decides on an album to listen to and discuss and then rank the songs on the record from their favorite to least favorite. Then, they turn the mics on and go track by track to defend their rankings. I love those guys and their show so I jumped at the chance to record this episode with them. The idea came from Ben's brain. Ron Pope is a songwriter from New York who now makes his home in Nashville. He has been a guest on both The Marinade and Records Revisited. We are all huge fans of his music and it was an honor to have this conversation. In June of 2025, Ron released a song called "Things Jesus Didn't Say," which inspired Ben to ask: What are our favorite protest songs? Each of us brought five songs to Ron's show at Tuffy's Music Box in Sanford, FL, earlier this year, sat down in the green room, turned on the mics, and made some magic.

    Tommy Nickoloff | The Marinade Episode 211

    You Fuckers Figure It Out filmmaker Tommy Nickoloff is our guest for Episode 211 of The Marinade. Tommy grew up with legendary songwriter Jason Molina in Lorain, OH. In a strike of what we would call kismet married with genius, Nickoloff set out to make a film about his friend and the results are a must-watch for fans of Molina, film, music, or good stories. Jason Molina is one of my all-time favorite songwriters. Tommy coming into my life to talk about Molina was fate so far as I'm concerned. You fuckers listen and figure out whether I'm right.
