We 💙 Van Duren 🎵Memphis Made Music Legend!
Goldmine caught up with Van Duren and talked about how he connected with Omnivore, why this record matters, and what the future holds for an artist that Memphis has kept quiet for too long.
Remembering Memphis Made Legend Danny Green as it’s been a year since his passing. What a talented, sweet soul. Please keep his wife, Joyce, family and friends in your prayers 🙏🏽🎸 Gone but not forgotten 🕊️

Memphis Made
Memphis Made Low end appreciation post - 4 bass players and a Super Producer/Engineer: All of whom inspired and helped me (Catrina) become a better player! (Left to Right)
1) Patrick Francis: Tora Tora bassist & my husband 🖤 who let me sit in for him at his cancer benefit - one of the best nights of my life. I’m still blessed to get to learn from him every time we play 🤘🏽
2) Dave Novotny: original Saliva bassist and long-time best friend who gave me a Fernandes bass of his back around 2009 which made me actually practice. When you want to learn to play an instrument and have no excuses left as to why you shouldn’t, then you do (or I did anyway 😝) Gemini Clan for life 🤘🏽
3) Malcolm Springer - Producer/Engineer whose tunes were always in my Memphis Made show playlists (2012 - 2019) including the Mother Station, Eric Gales, Isaac Hayes and Saliva to name a few. His discography is beyond impressive and would help define my years at Rock 103.
Last but not least…
4) Kelly McDonald - Memphis Music Bass Vet of many bands including Skyline, Gun Down Mary, Rodd Bland Band, Will Tucker, Earl "The Pearl" Banks (+ many others). But for me Virginia. Grant 🤘🏽was a life-changer as Kelly let me jump in on the low and fumble my way through tunes many a night. Fair to say, Kelly’s egoless ways changed my life for the better and we share an undying obsession for our bass hero Phil Lynott 🥃 🍀
If you want to become a better musician, surround yourself with players who are even kinder people. I’m so appreciative of their inspiration and support & it took a Guitar Hero’s passing to reunite us all 🥹🙏🏽Thank you Wayne Swinny! RIP Amigo - we’re still listening! 🎸 🕊️
Happy Nita Makris Day! Memphis Made Queen of Rocknroll 🤘🏽
Happy birthday to the late Memphis Made Music Legend Al Jackson Jr. 🥁

Pantera returns to Memphis in 2024 🤘🏽It will never get any better than seeing them back in the day at the Coliseum but they are sounding good these days with Zakk Wylde & Charlie Benante. Memphis Made
From one bad ass low-ender to another one - Thanks Scott Reeder (kyuss, Tool, Sun and Sail Club, Fireball Ministry) for wishing Memphis Made Dan Garber (Lewds, TWAR, the Devil’s Right Hand) a happy birthday 🤘🏽🍻 You rock Dan!
Six years ago I captured Leland Sklar Leland Sklar - Bassist with Duck Dunn’s Fender at Bass Player Live. As a bassist, there was no greater moment for me to talk Duck with Lee. This moment and interview made me a better musician and person 🙏🏽 Thanks to Lee & especially
🦆🙏🏽 plus Julie and Graham Rowell. Amazing low end moments like this one are most unforgettable for me 🫶🏾

Happy birthday 🎸
Hell yeah!! Happy to hit another milestone, grateful to be another year older, another year wiser (maybe not according to my wife!). Lookin forward to another great year playin the blues and livin the dream.
It still stands as one of the coldest days in rocknroll history for me - Rock 103’s 40th anniversary, Rockhaven, took place on this day back in 2017! The die-hard Memphis Made fans came for Tora Tora EMN (Every Mothers Nightmare) Roxy Blue The ShotGunBillys Under the Radar - Memphis and then rocked with Poison’s Bret Michaels later. I’m still frozen from that day but it will always serve as one of my most favorite memories of being at the Walrus! - Catrina 🥶🤘🏽
Sadly, since Rockhaven, we lost Rock 103 Legend Brian Jay & Saliva’s Wayne Swinny - may our memories of them and their musical legacies live forever! ❤️🩹🎸🕊️🎶
David Cousar is Memphis Made Music 🎸 Pray for the Legend during this most difficult time as he fights the fight of his life🙏🏽
Have some laughs on Conan while here in Memphis back in 1994 at Sun Studio Pop Tunes and FM 100 🤣
Team Coco
Although Randy is not one, we appreciate his quote. Who is your fave Memphis Made guitarist? So many to name! We’ll start…the late Buddy Church 🙏🏽 Now your turn…go!
It will always be Memphis Made Thanks to Lucero John C. Stubblefield for the awesome neon reminder of our legendary station!
Eight years ago today Metallica’s Robert Trujillo was cool enough to debut his Jaco Pastorious Documentary for Memphis Musicians including Legends Leroy Hodges, Earl “the Pearl” Banks, James Alexander, the late Tim Goodwin, moderator Sam Shoup and many others. It was an incredible night honoring the BASS GREAT and I don’t think enough kind words can be said about Rob for thinking of Memphis Made Music first! It was a highlight of my career to work with mi hermano Trujillo, Rock 103 and the Memphis Chapter of the Recording Academy to make this happen - special night - Catrina
We miss you Harry Peel! Born on this day in 1961 🥁
