Episode 48 - Keith Giosa
Keith Giosa is one of Philadelphia's most versatile musicians. With over 30 years in the music business as a composer, songwriter, producer, arranger, engineer, teacher and singer, he is also more than capable of covering a myriad of instruments, but is called on most frequently for keyboards, bass, guitar and vocals. All of which he is equally adept. Both live and in the studio he has established himself as a guy who can deliver the goods. And with his most recent endeavor, Giosa is combining two of his passions, music and film and providing all things audio for Red Flight Pictures. Ever evolving, learning and teaching, his career is one of constant forward movement. And it makes for a compelling story. Just like one of his movies.

Episode 47 - Abe Speller
Versatility is drummer Abe Speller's calling card. Regardless of the style or genre, Abe will adapt his playing to suit the song. Always. And although Jazz is his preferred form of musical expression, he has both the willingness and the chops to play and enjoy any opportunities that come his way. Some of the well-know artists he's played with include Pat Benatar, Steve Forbert, Phoebe Snow and many others. And fortunately for those artists and to anyone who has heard him play, when advised to "stay in his lane," Abe simply replies, "Not gonna happen." And for music's sake, that's a very good thing.

Episode 46 - Phil MiIler
Multi-instrumentalist Phil Miller describes himself as a musical "Swiss Army knife." Adept at so many instruments and able to play in so many styles and genres, he brings plenty of tools and blades to the table. Whatever the job calls for. He cut his teeth in the gospel world from a very young age, but branched out and has played with the likes of The Judds, Evelyn "Champagne" King and many other national artists, as well as a long-running stint with the Urban Guerrilla Orchestra. And whether playing secular or sacred music, he always brings a spirituality to his playing. He says the key to being successful is being able to listen and retain. And then to give it back. And that's exactly what Phil Miller does. He listens and retains. And then gives it back.

Episode 45 - Liz Miller
Liz Miller is a musical force to be reckoned with. And a songwriting machine. After three decades as a successful songwriter, she has now ventured out into performing her music live and is making her mark on the Philly music scene. And having spent a good portion of her life working as a cardiology nurse, it's no surprise that she brings plenty of heart to her music, both onstage and in the studio.

Episode 44 - Michele and Chris Peraino
Michele and Chris Peraino are the driving force behind Swing that Cat, the dynamic retro-meets-modern band that blends jump, blues, swing, cabaret and New Orleans jazz into an upbeat style that they describe as a "sonic cocktail of jump blues swizzled in horny swing, with dash of cabaret, and a splash of Bourbon Street. Simple as that. As lead singer and band leader, Michele and her husband/guitarist Chris make for a dynamic duo with a history in sound, art and theater. And the final product is something very special. And so is the unconventional path they took to get there.

Episode 43 - Harry Barlo
Harry Barlo's story is a classic American story. A kid who grew up singing doo-wop on the streets of Philadelphia and ultimately achieved his dream of performing in Las Vegas. With plenty of ups and downs along the way. As a singer, he has shared the stage with the likes of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Patti LaBelle, Tony Bennett and so many others. And as a boxer, a US Marine and a Philly cop, he's been no stranger to a fight, taking a punch, or the disappointments that come along the way. But like any great American story, perseverance and tenacity ultimately win out in the end.

Episode 42 - John Faye
John Faye is a true Renaissance man. As a celebrated author, performer, singer-songwriter and producer, he has made his mark on the Philly arts scene in multiple disciplines. As the lead singer and songwriter of the band The Caulfields, he had a taste of national touring and dealing with the ups and downs of being on a major record label. But no matter what obstacles life throws in his way, John regroups and negotiates a new path and vehicle to deliver his message. And he's got plenty to say. Join us on a journey that has spanned four decades, and shows no signs of slowing down.
