Airing Sunday at 8pm: AMELIA FORD & SHAWN MAASS are a team bringing success to Amelia's stellar music career

Over the past few years, Amelia Ford's music career has been on a steady upward trajectory and it's easy to understand why. Combine outstanding songwriting with fantastic recorded output, have a husband that goes the extra mile with his support, and keep pushing all boundaries possible—that's how it's done. Amelia and her husband, Shawn Maass, return to Into The Music for a conversation that takes us from their beginnings in music through to current day logistics of managing a career in music. Plus we hear three of Amelia's songs, one being a special exclusive performance of an unreleased original—"Living, Surviving"—for this episode!

LIL' DAVY MAX is keeping the blues alive with incredible music and stories only a bluesman can tell

He is a gracious and authentic man who is as captivating to talk with as he is to listen to when he's delivering a solid performance. His music reflects the great Chicago blues traditions and whether he's belting out a vocal, blowing his blues harp, or cranking out incredible guitar solos, he will undoubtedly have your attention.�
