Power Popaholic Interview: Richard Turgeon
Richard Turgeon
I’ve followed Richard’s career since his breakout debut with the song “Bigfoot’s an Alien,” and his new album “Life of the Party” is his best one to date. Richard Turgeon has found his niche, and he’s sticking with it. He’s a one-man band that writes, composes, and plays almost everything himself.

The Weeklings
Power Popaholic interviewed The Weeklings a few years ago, and now they’ve returned with a new album! Raspberry Park goes in a few different directions. There are still unique Beatles covers, but some new original sounds that recall other 60’s bands, and I dig through the origins of these songs.Once again, I spoke with Glen Burtnik (Lefty Weekling) and Bob Burger (Zeek Weekling) about the album and how they have evolved with this new album.
