I interviewed singer and bass player Moe Monsarratt of The Mau Mau Chaplains on my program.  We spoke about his reggae history including bands he played with iTex and The Lotions.

I got to speak with several members of the group Katchafire from New Zealand after their Austin appearances for SxSW 2008. Sweet guys and great music.

On Monday, February 10th, I interviewed jazz/r&b singer Pyeng Threadgill about her music and 2008 SxSW appearance.

This is an interview I did with Austin-based reggae producer and engineer Courtney Audain on Tuesday, February 26, 2008. We spoke about his recent studio projects with Mr Brown, Cyril Neville, and his forthcoming double CD release that he is working on. "Love Yourself," yeah!

I interviewed Tessanne Chin in late January 2008 and the interview ran on my February 26th program.
