Sam L. Williams, host of the Millennial Throwback Machine podcast, is committed to finding the unsung heroes behind classic American records: the studio musicians, arrangers, sound engineers, and more, who never got credit for their work.

Sam and Gia met at the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons start ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

In this episode, Sam joins us from his home in sunny California to give us names of musicians who helped define the sound of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 60s, based on two sources:

1. Studio Stories - How New York Records Were Made. A book by David Simons
2. His interview with Charlie Calello!

Some musicians include:
● George Devens, percussionist
● Al Gorgoni, guitar
● Buddy Saltzman, drums
● Lou Morrow, bass
● Stan Free, keyboard
● Charlie Macey, guitarist and bassist

For all our music theory cats, we also broke down every instrument in “Let’s Hang On,” the original Four Seasons record and a cover by The Manhattan Transfer (with Frankie Valli on vocals).

Sam is a singer-songwriter and arranger himself, and we discussed how The Four Seasons influenced his music.

Follow Sam , check out his podcast (You’ll need the premium version for his Charlie Calello episode!), listen to his music, and join his crowdfund for his new EP. All the links in bio!

We teamed up with Mariana Barbará-Olsen of the Diamond Badge Podcast, the first podcast dedicated to the not-so-oft-talked-about Radio City and touring production, Pokémon Live!

We met Mariana shortly after we started Silhouettes, and we’re so happy she kickstarted her own show!

-How some of Jersey Boys’s stars like Andrew Rannells, Dominic Nolfi, Sebastian Arcelus and Rory Max Kaplan got their start in the Pokémon world
-What it means to us to pay our passions and enthusiasm forward to the next generation of theatregoers

The movie was released in theaters 10 YEARS ago today. When it was all still ahead of us. We honestly can’t believe we’re typing this. We were 18 years old, just graduated from high school in South Florida, and in very precious and delicate times in our lives. Adding the movie premiere to the mix was so exciting, yet we were shocked it came to the screen so soon - the movie premiered not even 10 years after the show opened on Broadway!

While the movie is drastically different from the show, we appreciated how the movie slowed the story down, so we could take in the history of and soak up the truly iconic script and on-screen portrayals of each character. We’ve watched the movie more than 100 times (not exaggerating) combined and continue to quote it every day (also not exaggerating 😂) It’s that relatable and catchy — as you know!

It has been a dream come true to learn more about the film process from our amazing guests. John Lloyd Young Friends, Michael Lomenda, Renée Marino, Joey Russo, Erica Piccininni and Donnie Kehr, we can’t thank you enough for sharing with all of us. Congratulations on your anniversary!

We’re excited for another re-watch this weekend! It’s so wild to look back on Clint Eastwood’s color choices for the film and to re-watch the trailer. Doesn’t it bring you right back? Oh, June 20, 2014. What a time. ♥️

A’ Salud to 10 years, Jersey Boys movie! Thank you for everything.

Watch it now on Max. ♥️

A’ Salud 🍷♥️

The past few months have been full of beginnings, goodbyes and reunions for Gia and Daveed.

Hi there!

Happy Silhouettes Sunday, everyone! We’ve got a solo episode with Daveed this week. Gia’s at a friend’s birthday getaway in Virginia with limited internet access, so we got a “direct address” straight from Daveed for you all!

Today, we’re breaking down our friend Aaron De Jesus’s heartbreaking performance as Frankie Valli, with his interpretation of the “summers in Jersey” monologue. This performance really resonated with us!

Things to look out for:
-His reactions to the phone rings
-The amount of time he sits with the news of Francine’s passing
-The subtle overcast of the weight of the world on his shoulders while he speaks during a potentially peaceful and happy moment in his life

Keep a lookout for tickets for Tuacahn Center of the Arts’s production of Jersey Boys, directed by Aaron De Jesus and choreographed by his fellow Jersey Boys legend, Candi Boyd!

We’re doubly excited to announce that Aaron honored us with the task of creating a dramaturgy packet for this production. We had a blast creating it! We love you, our friend!

Enjoy!
A’ Salud♥️🍷

It’s Dawn (Go Away), but she’s coming back — and it’s our comeback to YOU! 😂

As you know, we were off the air for about a year and a half. We really missed you all, and we wanted to take some time today to catch up with you, show you some merch around our apartment, and break down the “Dawn” section of the show — because it’s really been on Daveed’s mind! We regularly break down scenes with our guests, but we thought it would be fun for you to see how we talk about the show at home.

Please let us know if you like this format! We can do more episodes like this if you’re into it. ♥️

We love you all. We’re so lucky to have the best Jersey community in you.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (He was Italian after all!) and A’ Salud! 🍷♥️

Please welcome Nic and Desi Dromard to the stage!

Nic and Desi are truly the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of our time! We’re so they took the time to chat with us in their new home on the West Coast!

Nic beat cancer last year, and we are so blessed he is feeling better and ready to get back to work with Desi! Their resilience is beyond admirable!

In this episode, we discussed:
-Their concert tours with their new show “Nic + Desi”
-Their release of their first album, “La Vie En Rose” (featuring their daughter Zélia on a bonus track)
-Desi’s firecracker Mary Delgado performance with choreography from Nic at the Fulton Theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in Summer 2022
-Their duo debut of directing and choreographing Jersey Boys together at the Fireside Theatre in Wisconsin in January and February! It was in the round and they had a lift under the stage!

Also, fun fact: Did you know Daveed and I got together when we were dogsitting for Nic & Desi’s pups in Spring 2021? Our relationship couldn’t have happened without them.

Purchase your digital or physical copy of “La Vie En Rose” here: https://nicanddesi.bandcamp.com/album/la-vie-en-rose?mc_cid=11e3bc2022
