Grooveable Feast Videos
Jesse Harris
In addition to writing mega hits for Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux and others, the Grammy-winning Jesse Harris makes beautiful music on his own. Feasting on sushi and sake at Bozu with collaborator Richard Julian, he discuss making records, running a label, and the memoirs of a 19th-century New Orleans madam. This episode features live performances […]
Amy Correia
Amy’s honeyed-voice tales of love, loss and hope for redemption are delivered with infectious syncopation and have even inspired fans to fund her first self-release. She reunites with old friend Richard Julian over fried chicken and pie at Pies ‘N’ Thighs and gets to the naked truth about the promise and perils of following (and […]
Dirtfoot
Commanding an array of acoustic and handmade instruments, Dirtfoot bewitches all within earshot with their kinetic, gypsy, punk, country, grumble boogie that rises like a moan from Louisiana swamps. Sampling tequilas and tapas at Mayahuel with Richard Julian, the boys discuss flying pigs, the profound peace of being in the moment, making friends and music. […]
Josh Ritter
One of the “Top 100 Living Songwriters,” Josh Ritter’s imagination runs wild creating tuneful short stories filled with literary, historical and scientific references.

Joined by band mates at La Mela, the conversation careens from The Passion of Christ to the intolerance of the politically correct.
Somi

Sharing pan-asian vegan fare and love of travel at Dao Palate, topics span the unique nature of audiences to (possibly) the oldest living man on earth!
Hoots & Hellmouth
With foot-stomping and fiery alchemy, Hoots & Hellmouth blend social activism with soulful harmonies – resulting in uplifting, progressive revival music. Tucking into locally-produced BBQ at Fette Sau, these hardcore locavores and foodies riff on the American landscape, living on the edge while pursuing artistic freedom and the importance of community-supported farms.
Suzanne Vega
Known the world over, the often sampled but never duplicated sultry-voiced singer-poetess Suzanne Vega is a true pioneer. Over pancakes at Tom’s Diner in Brooklyn, Suzanne Vega & host Richard Julian swap stories about strange encounters with Van Morrison; discuss the darker side of the music business and why she’s now heading up her own […]
