Lilli Lewis is an American folk and Americana singer, songwriter, and pianist based in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is sometimes known as the "Folk-Rock Diva
Americana, her third full album for Louisiana Red Hot Records. The album was co-produced by Lewis and iconic indie producer Mark Bingham (Peter Stampfel, Hal Wilner, Allen Ginsberg…). Notable guest artists include cellist Rick Nelson (Afghan Whigs, Polyphonic Spree), folk favorite Gina Forsyth, and Seattle Blues Legend Lady A. The album will be released on CD and across all digital platforms on October 29th. Thanks to the perils of five pandemic-era hurricanes, Americana was recorded across more than twice as many spaces, with the bulk of the load performed in New Orleans at Marigny Studios (recorded by Rick Nelson), and at Bingham’s own Nina Highway in Henderson, Louisiana. After performing for a full house at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation’s last show before lockdown, Lewis conceived the album amid quarantine conditions that imposed an indefinite pause in an otherwise booked-out performance year. Without the pressure of upbeat, danceable shows on the agenda, Lewis turned to a bag of story songs that she felt didn't fit the New Orleans club scene.

Zig At The Gig With Marky Ray
A native of Cleveland, Marky emerged from its fertile punk seen in the early Eighties, back when the Cleveland Heights/Coventry neighborhood served as ground zero for local rocker misfits. As Marky knows better than anyone, the business of rock isn’t for sissies.
He’s seen it from every conceivable angle – guitarist, bassist, keyboard player, singer, roadie, show producer/coordinator, tour manager, emcee, stuntman, publicist, consultant… I won’t share his entire resume, but following are just a few highlights:
As a performer: Johnny Action and the Treadmills, Johnny Clampett and the Walkers, the terrible parade, Death on a Stick, The Lyres, The New Salem Witch Hunters, Death of Samantha, The Jim Rose Circus, 3D, solo artist. As a road crew member and auxiliary performer (guitar/bass/vocals): Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Butthole Surfers, Toadies, Die Warzau, Lollapalooza Tour (’91-92 – backing vocals), Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, emcee for Jesus and Mary Chain and Lush.

Zig At The Gig With Matthew Scheuermann of lowercase roses
Interview with singer-songwriter Matthew Scheuermann of No Target audience, Americain War, The Sidekicks, and most recent lowercase roses.
On Titanic planet, Philly’s Matthew Scheuermann got his start in the midwestern indie-rock outfit The Sidekicks and has been making beautiful, home-recorded projects under the name lowercase roses for the past six years. Where his previous releases circled around acoustic, Elliot Smith-esque introspection (2014’s self-titled EP) and heady, indie-stoner isolation (2017’s Surgical Pop), the new Titanic Planet, out today, takes elements of both of those releases and elevates them in an emphatic, emotional beacon of uncertain, but hopeful pop / rock.

Knitting for the NICU Amy Baker Benefit Info https://www.facebook.com/events/393946435717839
Also, we aim to collect as many kitted/crocheted infant hats, blankets, and booties as possible to donate to the NICU.
Amy is a mother of two and a passionate full-time teacher who teaches adapted core curriculum at a charter school for kids with autism.
Amy has recently had some pregnancy complications, which led to weeks in the hospital and the premature birth of her second son at 31 weeks.
Amy has always gone over and beyond for all of her students. We are attempting to do the same to help her and her family during these trying times.
Hope Hearts are small crocheted hearts ( designed by Amy) in which one stays with the infant at the NICU and the other stays with the parent, so that way both parent and child will always have a piece of each other even when they can't be together.
Email clevelfourfour@gmail.com to donate made goods/ or drop them off at one of the shows listed below.
Amy was admitted to the hospital at 29 weeks, on September 3rd, when she began leaking amniotic fluid due to a preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). During her hospital stay, Amy received antibiotics and steroids to help prevent infection and develop baby Liam's lungs. On September 21st, Liam Bruce Evans was born at 31 weeks and 6 days after a placental abruption. He weighed 4 lbs 15oz and was 17 in long. Liam has been lucky to have no serious complications from his premature birth. Due to his lungs being underdeveloped when he was born, he has been on and off cpap to give his lungs time to mature. He still experiences occasional apnea (periods of decreased heart rate and extended pauses in breathing) when breathing on his own. Right now he is working on gaining weight, breathing on his own full time, and drinking from a bottle instead of using a feeding tube so that he can go home. The money from this fundraiser will go to helping the family pay bills during Amy's extended maternity leave as well as child care for Liam until his immune system is ready for him to attend daycare

Zig At The Gig With King Yellowman
2021 Interview with Raggae Legend Yellowman !!!
King Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. He also began to work with the Ace Sound System in St. Thomas and drew big crowds at his dancehall performances. Later in his career, Yellow began to spread out and work for a number of different producers, sometimes releasing as many as five albums per year. This led to a recording contract with CBS Records. Yellowman recorded one album with them before he was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live. This was in 1986. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song "Blueberry Hill", and his career was re-launched. His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell and was called "Yellow Like Cheese". Coincidentally this was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman and also RAS and 'Fatis' and his exterminator production. Yellowman has always been very professional to work with and always a respectful and reliable human being. He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy. We can only hope for the best for Yellowman. He has continued his hard work and his devotion to his family is to be complimented. The rudest Dancehall toaster of the 1980s, Jamaica's albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial, often overtly sexist (if tongue in cheek) lyrics. Now back on the Ragga scene, singing at a slightly slower pace, Yellowman's witticisms are as cheeky, spirited, and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style.
