Headliner Radio

We chat to monitor engineer Dave Rupsch about his life on the road working with artists including Katy Perry and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, mixing live recordings during lockdown, and why it's always got to be a DiGiCo console at side stage. 

We chat to iconic producer and songwriter, Dave Stewart, whose 100 million album sales speaks volumes. One half of one of the world's finest bands, Eurythmics, Dave has also produced and written for a long line of rock and roll royalty. We chat about his musical journey: from recording with Annie [Lennox] in the early days and making great music with Stevie Nicks, to his most recent projects - founding hit NBC TV show 'Songland', and making a new Stewart Lindsey album during lockdown. 

We go behind the brand with AMS Neve product specialist, Joe Heaton, about the thought process behind the British manufacturer's two major new product launches: the 8424 console and 1073OPX preamp. 

We chat to producer, songwriter, and ex-Faithless guitarist, Dave Randall, about his career so far, and new project, Slovo - a musical collective with a real creative twist. Dave finalised the third Slovo album, Bread & Butterflies, during lockdown - and it's out later this month. It's a phenomenal listen, produced by Dave himself, and featuring Barbarella on vocals, a highly gifted artist in her own right, who certainly puts her sonic stamp on this excellent record. 

In this Headliner USA podcast we chat to Eva Gardner - bassist for P!nk, and super talented singer-songwriter in her own right. We chat about how her dad inspired her to take up the bass, cutting a bar shift short at the family pub to audition for P!nk's band, making a signature bass with Fender, going wireless on stage with Lectrosonics, and much more. 

We chat to Fred Ebb Award winners for 'excellence in musical theatre songwriting', Thomas Mizer and Curtis Moore - a seriously accomplished (and entertaining) team whose work has appeared on so many stages and screens around the world. They walk us through their songwriting process, working remotely, and their unique musical understanding.

We chat to super talented country songstress, Lainey Wilson, whose journey from Louisiana to Nashville is proving to be a fruitful one. Named as a 2020 'Artist to Watch' by Pandora and Sounds Like Nashville, it's little wonder that we have also become Lainey fans. She's as humble as she is talented, and talks to us about her musical journey so far while we discuss the writing process behind her recent singles, WWDD and Rolling Stone.  

We catch up with iconic soul singer, PP Arnold, whose musical journey has been a real emotional rollercoaster: at just 17, she was out on tour with Ike and Tina Turner as one of 'The Ikettes' (Tina helping her out of an abusive marriage in the process), and her success in the UK during the swinging sixties was significant - a great rendition of The First Cut Is The Deepest made the top 20, and she collaborated and toured with an eclectic array of artists: Humble Pie, Dr. John, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Eric Clapton to name but a few. In 2019, she released her first solo album in five decades. We reflect on a career that's brought PP so much success, and continues to flourish. 

In this Headliner Radio podcast we bring you an exclusive with talented producer and songwriter, Astræa, as we premiere her new single, Nobody Loves Me Like You, which drops today (June 25th). We discuss her road into the world of music production, dive into the creative process, and chat about her go-to studio kit. 

In this Headliner USA podcast we chat to Matt Quinn, frontman of LA-based indie rock band, Mt. Joy, about the band's excellent new record and the thought process behind bringing it out during quarantine, as the world starts to make its way out of this testing lockdown period.
