"Michelle Mangione"

This is the first podcast I've done where I haven't chatted at least once on the phone with the featured folk rock artist.

As I was working and sorting through the podcast submissions...and feeling more like an A&R mail room clerk... I remembered why I started these folk rock podcasts: I want to make friends and connections with other folk rock artists. Our goal in featuring "the best and the brightest of today's folk rock artists" is to finally establish folk rock as a current genre.

Folk rock faded into history in the early 70s as concerts became bigger and bigger and folk rock looked smaller and smaller...

The cycle has returned back to folk artists and the audiences wanting more "truth" than stage flares. I hope to set up FOLK ROCK TOURS around the country and weave together many of these folk rock artists I am discovering and promoting with these podcasts. Wow. Maybe even world tours. California, Nashville, and New York, are no longer the hubs of the musical universe as we all connect and promote and release our products on the internet.

It's a new world. It's a new folk rock. But it's got that same concern and hopefullness that those frustrated hippies and peace-love-junkies put into their music in the late sixties and early seventies.

Michelle is a time traveller from that peace-love period that spawned that musical genre we decided to call, "folk rock."
