Tom Petty Tribute
with
Dan Bern & Paul Zollo
&
Dan Clark

From ANDRAS JONES: We invited Dan Bern, a songwriter of some note who has been a regular contributor to Radio8Ball over the years, to join our tribute to Tom Petty and he asked a question about an upcoming trip to Florida. His answer was performed by Dan Clark (formerly of the band Duke Daniels) accompanied […]

Dan Bern

From ANDRAS JONES: DAN BERN is someone I could write a whole lot about. He was the first songwriter I met playing gigs (as opposed to on records) who became a huge influence on my writing. We’ve toured together, recorded together, written together. When my band, The Previous, disbanded he made them his band. When […]

Dan Bern

Dan Bern has been my friend for decades. As a songwriter he enlightened me. There’s no other way to put it. Dan’s been a guest on Radio8Ball many, many times and I don’t think he’s ever enjoyed it very much, but I appreciate him trying. Dan performed the most impressive feet of songwriting I’ve ever […]

John C. Reilly
w/ Dan Bern
&
Common Rotation

From ANDRAS JONES: DAN BERN wrote a bunch of the songs for the JOHN C. REILLY film “Walk Hard” in which he played the character Dewey Cox, a Johnny Cash type rock and roll icon, and when I got in touch with Reilly’s representatives in the spring of 2010 saying I was doing a show […]

Jeffrey Gaines

From ANDRAS JONES: “I’ve been down I’ve been seriously down but I’ve also been quite high” We come to the close of this Pop Oracle session with JEFFREY GAINES focusing on the compelling concept of a nation of Jeffs and the blessings/plight of the singer-songwriter. During the course of our conversation I was struck by […]

James Combs

Ira Marlowe

 JAMES COMBS of the band GREAT WILLOW has been on Radio8Ball many times under different names and in different roles.

Scott Weddle
of the band Amelia
&
Andras Jones

 SCOTT WEDDLE was in the Portland band AMELIA when they were the guests on Radio8Ball on KAOS in Olympia in January of 2006. Their song “France” came up as the answer to JENNY JENKINS’ question on last week’s episode. It was a potent Mother’s Day synchronicity. Scott joins this session with host ANDRAS JONES […]

Chris “Sandman” Sand
& Chris Price

In the second installment of the third season of the RADIO8BALL podcast, host ANDRAS JONES is joined by phone from Missoula, Montana by CHRIS “SANDMAN” SAND whose poem “A Toast For Uncle Silver Tip” was the answer to R. Walt Vincent’s corona virus question in our last episode. Six weeks later and we are a […]

&
DEAD ROCK WEST

From ANDRAS JONES: First of all, it’s important I say this, because we avoid actually uttering the words during this session. My question is about Woody Allen, Mia Farrow and the children Mia adopted. OK, now that that’s out of the way…. Radio8Ball welcomes DEAD ROCK WEST, which is to say, CINDY WASSERMAN and FRANK LEE […]

&
The Essex Green

From ANDRAS JONES: In sync with the coming of Gregorian 2019 we welcome the airy sweet darkness of THE ESSEX GREEN to the realm of The Pop Oracle. October 3rd, 2018 was one of those days that challenges a Radio8Ball host’s faith. I woke up that morning in a cheap motel room in Burbank with […]
