Ryan Hamilton has lived many lives as a musician. For years, I’ve covered Ryan’s records at Power Popaholic, so it was great to finally sit down with him and talk about the road that led to his outstanding new album, “Haunted by American Dreams.” It was rated one of my favorite albums this year – read the review.

We discuss leaving the music business, finding his way back, and turning life’s hard truths into sharp, heartfelt songs. If you love honest songwriting, big hooks, and stories of second chances, this is an interview you won’t want to miss.

A very quick chat with Dressy Bessy led by songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Tammy Ealom and guitarist John Hill (The Apples in Stereo). We chat about BETTY BOOP’S BIRTHDAY BASH on August 8, host by actress, comedian, and musician Kate Micucci. We also get into the band’s newest material too. BTW, I checked and we are all wrong on Betty’s age. Betty Boop was created in 1930, making her 96 years old as of 2026.

Here is the new video from The Tammy Shine!

Log Flume

Some bands make a great first impression. Others get even better the longer you listen. Log Flume manages to do both. After reviewing their outstanding new album, “Go Where The Money Goes,” I sat down with the band to talk about how they first formed, the songs, the creative process, and how they developed this new LP.

In this interview we discuss:
• Favorite tracks from the album
• Recording and production
• Musical influences, from classic power pop to alternative rock
• What’s next for Log Flume
