<p>We are so very excited to have Jennifer Hartswick as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Honestly, for the three of us, this is one of our favorite interviews to date! We talk with Jen about the energy and necessity of 'The Beacon Jams', the deep human need for live music, the importance of feeling and showing love, Jen's journey with Reiki, the moment Trey Anastasio asked here to be in his band, and a lot of laughter and fun.</p><br><p>Trumpeter and vocalist, Jennifer Hartswick is one of the most exciting performers in music today. She exudes confidence and joy and brings her own refreshing spirit to the stage every time she performs. Jennifer’s music is honest, soulful and comes with a maturity far beyond her years.</p><p>Hartswick is an original member of the Trey Anastasio Band and has recorded/shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, Phish, Christian McBride, Tom Petty, Aaron Neville, Carlos Santana, The Rolling Stones, Big Gigantic, Dave Matthews and countless others.</p><br><p>For tour dates, merch, and info head over to: <a href="https://www.jenniferhartswick.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.jenniferhartswick.com</a></p><br><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE: "Do I Move You?" - from the album 'Nexus' released in 2018</strong></p><br><p><strong>NEW!!!

<p>Get ready! This week we have Little Stranger as our guests on No Simple Road. We get into the timing of releasing the album 'Trip Around Saturn', having to play 4 hour gigs, why getting turned on to Phish make your bandmates angry, how the unique chemistry of Little Stranger has come to be and evolved, the way living together creates symbiosis, how they have been received in the jam scene, and way more fun than should be allowed. </p><br><p>Born and raised in Philly, crash landed in Charleston, Kevin and John Shields are breaking into previously uncharted waters with their quirky indie hip-hop group, Little Stranger. Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, this duo is sure to get any audience up and moving. Stylistically reminiscent of Gorillaz and Odelay-era Beck, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop. Every track brings the uniqueness and strangeness that their name implies.</p><br><p>For all things Little Stranger head over to: <a href="https://littlestrangermusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.littlestrangermusic.com</a></p><br><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: "Red Rover (feat.

<p>This week on No Simple Road we welcome Jeremy Schon of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong as our guest! Jeremy sits down with us to talk about the last couple of years and how their experience with all that has gone down helped to shape the new studio album 'Perspective', how becoming a Dad has altered his priorities, what musical moment changed his life forever, the unique way music festivals have changed his life, how creating a festival like Domefest has grown and morphed over the years, plus much more.</p><br><p>PPPP translates the joy of such realizations into the buoyant psychedelic funk odyssey of their sixth independent full-length album, the aptly titled <em>Perspective</em>. The Maryland quartet—Greg Ormont [vocals, guitar], Jeremy Schon [guitar, vocals], Ben [bass, vocals], and Alex <em>“Gator”</em> Petropulos [drums, vocals]—delivers a musically thrilling and emotionally endearing body of work propelled by sonic fireworks and chantable hooks. After piling up millions of streams and selling out countless shows, the musicians project their vision widescreen across the most expansive vista yet. Set to release April 8th, 2022!!!</p><br><p>For all pigeons info head to:<a href="https://www.pigeonsplayingpingpong.com/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.pigeonsplayingpingpong.com</a></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: "Sir Real" off the upcoming album 'Perspective'</strong></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: "Avalanche" live from The Crystal Ballroom - Portland, OR. 3/18/22</strong></p><br><p><strong>NEW!!!

<p>Mike Rivard of Club D'Elf is our guest on No Simple Road this week! To the naked eye, Club d’Elf looks exactly like a world-class instrumental band: five or six fierce players laying down heavy grooves and exploratory solos on distinctive original material, as audience members dance or listen in rapt attention. To its fans, however, and its large and colorful cast of musicians, D’Elf is all that and much, much more. </p><br><p>That is what we got from Mike on this week's episode... much, much more! We get right down to business discussing Mike's struggles with depression, what he's done to help heal, creating the new album 'You Never Know' (coming out April 1st), the music of the Gnawa, trance states, learning the Sintir, and oh, so much more!</p><br><p>Club d’Elf began in 1998 at the Lizard as a kind of controlled jam session, featuring Rivard’s friends and associates from various bands. Out of the original D’Elf jam pool emerged a core group, usually augmented by one or two other players from a rotating cast. The core was eventually honed to its essentials: Rivard and drummer Erik Kerr, followed eight years later by drummer Dean Johnston.</p><p>For more on Club D'Elf go to <a href="https://clubdelf.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.clubdelf.com</a></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: "Zeed al Maal" of the upcoming album 'You Never Know'</strong></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: "Dervish Dance" off the upcoming album 'You Never Know'</strong></p><br><p><strong>NEW!!!

<p>We are extremely honored to have the legendary Melvin Seals as our guest on No Simple Road as part of our series leading up to Skull &amp; Roses Festival!

<p>We are super excited to have Dogs In A Pile as our guests on No Simple Road this week. Dogs in a Pile is the culmination of a love of music born from the deepest American roots of psychedelia, jazz, fusion, funk, traditional, and rock &amp; roll. Sprung from the rich Asbury Park music scene in New Jersey, their serendipitous convergence has made for the kind of kindred intuition its members had only once dreamed of. Described as “listening to a single moving organism,” the sum of its five parts represents an original journey into the peaks and valleys of psychedelic improvisation, all while remaining reminiscent of so much we love of life and music.</p><p>We catch up with the Dogs to talk about their upcoming tour of the Eastern part of the US, creating 'Not Your Average Beagle', realizing that you are doing what you always dreamed of, the responsibility of carrying the future of the jam scene, why responsibility is so damn hard to master, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>For tour info, merch, music, and more head over to <a href="https://www.dogsinapileofficial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.dogsinapileofficial.com</a></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: '<em>Look Johnny' </em>off the "Not Your Average Beagle"</strong></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: '1/22/22 Cats Under The Stars&gt;Tillie' from the </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DogsInAPile" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Dogs In A Pile YouTube Channel</strong></a></p><br><p>Remember to hang out after the conversation with Dogs In A Pile to catch up with the No Simple Road crew!</p><br><p><strong>NEW!!!

The list of the artists Payne has recorded with is as lengthy as a small-town telephone book, ranging from Jackson Browne to Beck to Jimmy Buffett – and that’s just some of the "B"s.</p><p>As you can guess Bill has no shortage of stories to tell and we get down to business immediately in this wonderful conversation. We talk about creating the new single 'When All Boats Rise', getting the band back together, leaving The Doobie Brothers to rejoin Little Feat, how it feels to be going back to his musical roots after all these years away, and so much more!</p><br><p>For more on Bill and Little Feat head over to: <a href="https://www.littlefeat.net/welcome.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.littlefeat.net</a></p><p><strong>SONG AT THE END OF THE CONVERSATION: the single 'When All Boats Rise' by Little Feat</strong></p><br><p><strong>FOR FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 25% off</strong> <a href="https://www.electricfishlights.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Electric Fish Lights</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR </strong></p><p><strong><em>INTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.circlesaroundthesun.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN</em></strong></a></p><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.
