Send us Fan MailDavey Harris, former drummer for the Tins and frustrated piano student, talks it up with BMP.But why is this a BREAKING EPISODE? Well, Davey, through a disciplined style of constant production and creative, emotional plunging of his soul, has done it again and released a single worth listening to.Called "Fuck AI," it may not be for children, but Harris expresses our sentiments here at BMP. Yes, it's a tool, yes, it's probably going to change the entire world. It'll also probably result in nuclear war and a weird dystopia. I give it 20 years, but hope it's so damn dumb I'll get 40 out of it.Harris is an accomplished singer-songwriter and talks about his craft from beautiful Buffalo as he gets ready to take his masterpieces and strip them down for live performance.As always, keep listening to BMP.Check out "Fuck AI" on Instagram @daveyharrisofficialBMP Sponsors are:Captain Tom & the HooligansBUFFALO CREATIVE WORKSHOPMAMMOTH CANNABISSHIANNE WAXING STUDIOTheme for the Shianne Waxing Studio Commercial was Conducted & Composed by Philip MilmanSupport the showBe sure to check out more BMP content @buffalomusicplayers on InstagramWant to get in touch? email [email protected]

Send us Fan MailArmani Power was on the BMP pod at the end of Black History Month, and he had a song for the occasion. A believer in communication and information, Armani shared his journey in hip-hop, R&B, rap, and even country in an overwhelmingly musical world.But he didn't expect to be good at music, so maybe it's surprising he's getting comments like "fire" and invites on collaborations as he spreads his talent amongst the scene right here in Buffalo, New York.If you've seen him, you know. He's expecting more performances in the near future and he's not to be missed. Hear him talk about it all right here on BMP.BMP Sponsors are:Captain Tom & the HooligansBUFFALO CREATIVE WORKSHOPMAMMOTH CANNABISSHIANNE WAXING STUDIOTheme for the Shianne Waxing Studio Commercial was Conducted & Composed by Philip MilmanSupport the showBe sure to check out more BMP content @buffalomusicplayers on InstagramWant to get in touch? email [email protected]

Send us Fan MailHi listeners, this is the BMP podcast and I'm Benjamin Joe. This episode we have a very special guest, Guy Valentino, and for this one we'd like to preface the interview with a statement from BMP's cohost, Max Fisher:"I've known Guy for many years. I don't know exactly how many, but we met on Reddit before COVID. I was instantly enamored with his creativity and his approach to music. Guy is extremely passionate, creative, and has a big heart."Honestly, the genesis of the BMP podcast came from him. A while ago, I was talking to him about posting my art (music and the like) because I was stil very trepidatious about sharing my work and being judged. "But then Guy gave me a speech that changed my perspective. I can't remember it word-for-word, but the gist was: if you're an artist, don't you want to be seen? There are so many artists in the world who never get to be recognize for what they create. If you have a chance, why not take it and show what you can do?That idea led to a flow of thoughts that brought us to this moment. And all thanks to Guy. He is the producer for over 95% of my music, but more than that, he's my friend and I'm happy to provide a platform where we can show his firs album 'Cupid'. Thanks for shooting the arrow that helped me come up with important ideas, and to fellow listeners, you're in for a treat. Love you, bro."BMP Sponsors are:Captain Tom & the HooligansBUFFALO CREATIVE WORKSHOPMAMMOTH CANNABISSHIANNE WAXING STUDIOTheme for the Shianne Waxing Studio Commercial was Conducted & Composed by Philip MilmanSupport the showBe sure to check out more BMP content @buffalomusicplayers on InstagramWant to get in touch? email [email protected]

Send us Fan MailBMP takes some time to talk to Courtney Zach about books and letters, if those letters are in fact drawings of surprisingly cute animals and if those books are written by her.Courtney was a great guest, talking about her time in South Korea, as well as about whales in other parts of the world. She was frank about her knowledge of local music in the area (she does not know it) and Max and Ben introduced her to Stress Dolls as a gateway drug to that wonderful world.All in all a good episode with real people, Ben and Max and Courtney, don't get it twisted, had a great time and hope to reconvene at some later date as projects get completed for any and all spiritual animals in the spiritual zoo that occupies Courtney's time.BMP Sponsors are:Captain Tom & the HooligansBUFFALO CREATIVE WORKSHOPMAMMOTH CANNABISSHIANNE WAXING STUDIOTheme for the Shianne Waxing Studio Commercial was Conducted & Composed by Philip MilmanSupport the showBe sure to check out more BMP content @buffalomusicplayers on InstagramWant to get in touch? email [email protected]
