From ANDRAS JONES: By this point in the episode it’s pretty clear GREAT WILLOW (James Combs & Erin Hawkins) live up to their name. They are indeed “great” and there is a willowy quality to the harmonic spell they weave. If only other bands adhered to this level of truth in advertising we might have […]

Gary Calamar
&
Great Willow

From ANDRAS JONES: GARY CALAMAR is the hero of the GREAT WILLOW story, a story of finding oneself in Los Angeles. It’s funny because, like a few of the illustrious cats we’ve had on the show, Gary’s also a kind of villain. I mean he’s a “gatekeeper” which means he spends his days, whether it’s […]

Great Willow

From ANDRAS JONES: From TOBIAS the OWL to GREAT WILLOW. Is this The Radio8Ball Show or a foray into children’s literature? Perhaps both? It all seem perfectly fitting for our vernal equinox episode with James Combs and Erin Shawn Hawkins in their return to Radio8Ball. We had them as guests on Alternative Talk 1150AM in […]

Great Willow

From ANDRAS JONES: I like when we can have a musical guest for a future episode on the show to ask a question so they can get a feel for the format. That was the case when Paul Lacques and Victoria Jacobs of the band I SEE HAWKS IN LA, who will be back to record […]

Willie Wisely
&
Great Willow

From ANDRAS JONES: GREAT WILLOW invited the Great WISELY to join them and ask a question on their episode. Little did they know Willie Wisely and I have a long history of collaborating. We produced an album called “The Darkest Day of The Year” for Andy Dick together. Willie produced several of the most popular […]

Jamie Mayer & Sander

Great Willow

From ANDRAS JONES: For our second Pop Oracle session with GREAT WILLOW (James Combs & Erin Shawn Hawkins) we get to know the family. Maybe we got to know one of them a little better than the other. Jamie Mayer is a screenwriter who is married to James (James and Jamie? Too cute) and the […]
