The Lizzard Kings

It's not a typo. The word "lizzard" (with 2 Zs) has an amusing connotation. You'll learn about it here. These guys represented Memphis in the International Blues Challenge this past week in the band category. They are a real blast to hang out with as we did that night. You'll hear some studio performances and a few songs off their brand new CD.

Also, we are getting close to wrapping our 5th year of production with this show. An interesting milestone for sure. With that, there are some changes coming to Radioland. But you can think of it as more of an expansion than anything else. I'll explain in the show.



NEXT WEEK: Benny Turner & Cash McCall

Stay tuned...

John Nemeth

John has been a long time friend of Radio Memphis. He stopped in with a guitarist named Aubrey and brought a drummer named Willie. It was fun night and there were quite a few stories told including the whole thing about John getting censored over a pickle.

Also, ever been to a grocery store after the snow has come and gone and they haven't restocked everything? I did and it tells an interesting story.



NEXT WEEK: The Lizzard Kings

Back from Europe with Low Society

We have known these guys since 2011. We all met one fateful New Year's evening on Beale Street. They just arrived in Memphis and we just arrived on the air. Ever since, we have been a family of sorts. Now, Low Society, back from their 3rd European tour in 2018, sat down to catch us up.

Jeff and I also got to experience a brand new blues act of which you will hear as well.



NEXT WEEK: John Nemeth has a big van.

Stay tuned...

The Post Holiday Blues

It's that time again when we come out of the holiday rush into what many would call the dark times before spring. Although as of this writing, it's like 70 degrees outside. Anyway, a couple of weeks back, we were in the throws of the impending Christmas holiday. On the air, the return of Tlaxica but this time she brought along her musical partner, Pope. Stories were told and music was played. It was big.

Then a little later on, a dear friend of Radio Memphis, Zeke Johnson came in to talk about the holiday and play a little music related to the day. He also tells one of the most remarkable Christmas stories you will ever hear with every word being true.



NEXT WEEK: Fresh from Europe, Low Society.

Stay tuned...
