SXSW Interview with Wishes and Thieves
by Robo Robb on Jul.08, 2012, under Electronic, Soul
I was lucky enough to meet this awesome band on my final night out in Austin this past spring. I was waiting at the bus stop for what seemed like an eternity and met this guy named Will who happened to be the drummer in a band. Like every chance encounter with a musician, I always must ask for an interview. The next day I met the band for an interview and had a great conversation with them. Take a listen and enjoy!

Radio Interview with Rare Standard
by Robo Robb on Aug.17, 2011, under Adventures
This was my first interview with a Jazz group. I’ve interviewed Jazz singers who have their own take on Jazz but this was the first time I had a legit jazz group come through and bless the airwaves in front of me. Their name is Rare Standard and I had the pleasure of meeting their sax player a few months ago. He nonchalantly told me he was just starting a jazz group. Now when I hear “just starting a band” I automatically think “OK I’ll see these guys in a few years…. Nope. These guys were like ready to rock out of the gate. There is a live performance at the end of the interview so take a listen and as always enjoy!

Radio Interview with the Deming Sisters
by Robo Robb on Sep.03, 2009, under Soul
What do you get when you mix Ella Fitzgerald and Nellie McKay? The Deming Sisters! I am this groups biggest advocate, if you havn’t listened to their music yet your stoopid! Ok well your not stoopid… you just havn’t gotten around to it yet. But seriously this is going to be the next big thing in music I can just feel it. The live performance they did on my show was outstanding! Take notice of the picture i’m posting below, this was taken at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. Connie Deming the youngest in the group is only 13, they had to sneak her in to perform. At another performance I was told they had to put her in an apron and pretend she worked there to deal with all the legal issues of having a 13 year old perform at a bar. If you don’t listen to any of my interviews or any of my music that’s cool, but please listen to this interview and go check these young ladies out you will not be disappointed.
