The Brothers Gunn dropped their first ever single today, a great original tune called "Receipts." You can hear all about it by listening to Into The Music this Sunday at 8:00 PM CT on 91.1 The Avenue or RIGHT NOW at https://www.buzzsprout.com/2128759/15744388

Either way, you can't lose.

SPECIAL SHOW for the new single "RECEIPTS!" https://www.buzzsprout.com/2128759/15744388

Individually, Brad Bordini and Kurt Gunn are two of the best singer-songwriters you'll come across. Together as The Brothers Gunn, they take their craft to an entirely new level. What makes The Brothers Gunn who they are goes back a long time when they started their friendship as young men. Their friendship has weathered all sorts of good times and adversity over the years, so their bond as brothers is as solid as it gets. They both have been writing and recording their own material, so the time has finally come to release their very first single, "Receipts," as The Brothers Gunn. On hand along with Kurt and Brad is producer Marc Golde of Rock Garden Studio who knows them as well as anyone. Sit back and enjoy their story, their camaraderie, and their music.

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!

Dave Schoepke is one talented guy. He's a drummer who composes songs for drums and creates some interesting and innovative albums comprised of these songs. On top of that he is the other half of W***y Porter's rhythm section (along with bassist Eric Madunic) and he's an accomplished drum teacher who has his methods published by Hal Leonard Publishing. He's drummed behind Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre and more recently found himself pounding the skins in US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis as part of SunDown47 opening for Zach Bryan. You'd think this would expand one's ego, but hardly so with Dave. He simply enjoys drumming and sharing what he has to offer through his albums, performances, and teaching.

David Janke (a.k.a. Lil' Davy Max) is a true bluesman through and through. From learning guitar at an early age to teenage midnight forays to see blues legends perform miles from his home to becoming friends with the likes of Muddy Waters, you will know that David is the real deal. 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.

Terry Manning has a long and stellar history in the music business. Simply put, if you've listened to music in the last sixty-plus years, chances are high you've heard something he's worked on. His résumé reads like a "Who's Who" because of the sheer number of artists he's worked with over the past sixty-plus years. If you're a soul music fan, Terry worked on hits by Otis Redding, Al Green, Sam & Dave, and more. Classic rock fan? Albums like Led Zeppelin III, ZZ Top's "Eliminator," and Big Star's " #1 Record" list Terry as engineer. Terry's worked in a wide variety of genres at studios like Stax Records, Ardent Studios, Compass Point Studio, and currently Sonic Ranch Recording Studio and his talents aren't just in music—he's an outstanding photographer, writer, athlete, and more. In other words, Terry's one-of-a-kind and on this special episode of Into The Music we find out why.

There's a very special episode of Into The Music on tap this week! Terry Manning is my guest and it's an honor and pleasure to talk with someone of his stature. We talk about his work at some of the most prominent studios in the history of recorded music, the artists he's worked with (Led Zeppelin, Otis Redding, and ZZ Top to even remotely scratch the tip of the iceberg), and his tie to the Wisconsin music scene (The Mascot Theory). Don't you dare miss it!
