Very sorry to hear about the passing of the great Bill Walton.

We interviewed the amazing Mickey Hart back in 2018 (exactly 6 years ago tomorrow), and he told us a great story about his good friend Bill.

About 4 minutes into part one.

Meet Mickey Hart: part philosopher, scientist, shaman…and passionate drummer. Mickey and The Grateful Dead have offered up the groove and the melody for some of the most iconic themes of our generation.

I had the pleasure of seeing Ryan Montbleau last night at Club Passim (along with the fantastic Brooks Forsyth). Brought me back to the awesome conversation we had back in 2018 with Ryan. Thought I would share once again for your listening pleasure.

If you have the opportunity, go see Ryan and Brooks on their tour, as well as Ryan's project with Hayley Jane, Yes Darling.

Enjoy. :)

We first saw Ryan Montbleau back in 2012 in Boston on a Rock and Blues Cruise that featured the Ryan Montbleau Band. It was a full boat and was packed with Ryan Montbleau fans and the band totally rocked the house. Or rather the boat.

Our Story

Above The Basement is a Boston based podcast hosted by Chuck Clough and Ronnie Hirschberg. They have casual and candid discussions with local, national and international musicians, artists, producers and others from Boston and beyond. The conversations offer experiences from those shaping our music community and for whom music is a passion. You hear their stories, hardships faced and overcome...and why they love what they do.

While music is the common thread, Above The Basement has evolved into conversations that harness human interest, culture and community, bridging into discussions about health, science, education and other aspects of life.

Humanity and humor, culture and community – these themes are embedded in our discussions and frequently dovetail to topics we all relate to in our daily lives such as health, science, education and more.

We have bridged topics like the environment with Eagles songwriter and drummer Don Henley, mindfulness with singer songwriter Jewel, social justice with the amazing organization The Boston Children’s Chorus and healing with Mary Gauthier through the wonderful program SongwritingWith:Soldiers.
