   Blake w/ Escape The Fate's Robert Ortiz

   from February, 2011. Now that Escape The Fate is riding their greatest album success to date and jumping on larger tours, I'm posting this interview that I did on the band's tour bus, parked outside their show in Allentown, PA. Being on the tour bus and not sticking a microphone in Robert's face...

   Blake w/ Brian Regan

   from June, 2006. Let's change it up this time and post an interview with one of my favorite comedians, Brian Regan, during his "You Too" tour. This was an easy one: mention the tour and his recently-released DVD - and then get out of the way and enjoy the jokes. I went to the show we plugged…

   Blake w/ Rich Robinson - pt 2

   From April, 2003 - part 2 of 2. See notes below. This segment includes an exclusive performance of Rich and vocalist John Hogg playing live in the studio using dulcimers. It's no wonder I never noticed the Hookah Brown CD being released - because it never was. A note on the band's website…

   Blake on The Blaze morning show

   From April 22nd, 2009. I did Middays and Afternoons on 96.3 The Blaze in the rockin' college town of Missoula, MT for 2+ years from 2004-2006. It's a KILLER station and was a ton of fun. Now I'm proud to be one of the few ex-Blaze jocks. They are celebrating their 9th Birthday in April, 2009 so…

   Blake w/ Great White's Jack Russell

   From March, 1997. In 2008 the band has put the Rhode Island nightclub fire behind them as best they can, recently returned to the studio with all original members and put out a new album, and are on the 80s Invasion package tour, so there may never be a more timely moment than now to revisit this...

   Blake w/ Rich Robinson - pt 1

   From April, 2003 - part 1 of 2. With the reunion of The Black Crowes and a new album and tour in 2008, I thought i'd post this interview with Rich Robinson from 5 years ago. Rich had split from his brother, effectively putting The Black Crowes on ice. I think we all felt like Rich and Chris would...

    Blake w/ Seether

    EXCLUSIVE: acoustic live performance of "Fine Again" From April, 2003. One of my favorite interviews. Unfortunately, the beginning has been lost...ARGH. But in a way that's kinda cool because now it starts with Seether performing their first US single "Fine Again" acoustically in the studio.…

    Blake w/ Blues Traveler's John Popper

    From November, 1996. This was one of the very first interviews i ever did. In hindsight, it seemed much LONGER and much BETTER than it actually is...LOL...but i like this interview because John was fun. Off the air, he mentioned that he listened to me all the time when he was home in the area. I...

    Blake w/ Velvet Revolver's Duff McKagan - pt 2

    From November, 2004 - part 2 of 2. It continues with Duff finishing his thought about the experience of "fame." I love this interview because he was so forthcoming and conversational. He also makes some VERY early comments about the eventual 2nd album (Libertad), which later came out in early 2007.
