One Leg At A Time

This week's guest is guitarist and songwriter Kyle Lalone! I have known Kyle for many years and it was great to be able to have a conversation this candid and honest on the show. We both spent years living in New York City before moving to LA, and both went through serious struggles before coming into recovery. We reminisce about old times, talk about the what's going on in the current day, and even play one of Kyle's original songs together in the studio. Great talk!Pardon the delay on this episode- producer Adrian and I have been on tour for the last 3 weeks and we didn't think it would be this hectic to try and edit and upload full episodes of the pod every week. The goal is to resume a weekly Monday schedule after this week, so keep your eyes peeled. And as always, thanks for tuning in and please don't hesitate to reach out for any questions or comments to [email protected] Kyle Lalone  ⁨@klalone81986⁩  Elyadeen Anbar  ⁨@anbarmusic⁩  Adrian Vega  ⁨@STRIPEDBEATLE⁩  Special thanks to Dustin Knouse // HOK studios

This week we have the privilege of talking to Paul Cherry! Aside from being (slightly) intimidated by his coolness, we had such a great candid conversation about everything from music to drugs to aging to vibes and energy. I had a lot of questions for Paul on how he got started as a DJ and producer, how he got started with his sick livestream shows, what makes him happy and what he has in store for the future. Plus the debut of our brand new segment, NAME THAT PAUL!

This week's episode of One Leg is a wild ride! Old friend and bandmate Cole Riddle drops in and we were lucky enough to have Zephyr Avalon in the building.

Fresh from a worldwide tour with Adrian Younge, we talk about being a young saxophonist in LA and navigating the scene, plus the challenges of being the sole member of her family in from overseas and so much more. I love Alicia's artistic take on blending Flamenco with Jazz music and we discuss viral success and the validity of short form content over musical output and self expression.

This week Zephyr Avalon returns to the show for the second (and third) time! In a shocking twist, Zephyr was not feeling his best for his first "return" and decided it would be better to come back and revisit his interview. We talked about what he's been up to since we initially talked on the podcast back in January, how his tour with Zach Bryan has been, and more.

Today's guest is pianist and organist Eric Bell! What a treat to get to sit down with someone so young and talented- Eric's been a hustler ever since I've known him and it was great to sit down and hear his story. We caught him on a break from his tours with Thee Sinceers and Thee Altons, learned about his background getting into the organ and the influence of classic rock like Santana and Toto, and how to sustain passion for learning and experiencing new music while deep in the trenches.

In addition to his several long standing residencies in Los Angeles and his BoneFX project, Quinn has worked to study and preserve the history of his  Native American musical roots, and is also currently producing Julia Keefe’s Native American big band album.

From his musical beginnings to his current track as a professor at Musicians Institute, we talk about preparing for gigs, practicing improvisation and developing the music to mind connection, and more. Alex candidly spoke on the role that faith holds in his life, which I always find fascinating to hear how belief can help guide people through strenuous times. And we learn that Alex prefers unfrosted pop tarts! Who would have thought.

Dylan was forthcoming about his struggles with food, his journey through academia and his struggles with remaining creative during challenging times.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Miss Tina Hughes (IG @misstinahughes)- guitarist bassist and songwriter extraordinaire. Tina has been a fixture of the Los Angeles music scene since I’ve known her, and we always have a great time hanging out and catching up. She tells us about growing up in rural Virginia, following in the footsteps of John Mayer as a Berklee dropout, abstaining from alcohol, and chasing the muse in order to capture the all important elements of self expression that keep artists going through times of peace and turmoil.

What a ride the last few months have been! I wanted to look back at all the great things I've gotten to experience by talking to people on One Leg, and how grateful I am for what I've learned so far. I also want to talk a bit about what it means to be in 'recovery' and how ultimately, my primary objective is to help people gather tools for themselves based on the wisdom of folks who work really hard and are willing to share their experience.Season two of the show will begin streaming in May. I want to take time to do an overhaul of the production vallue based on what I've learned doing this guerilla-style of podcasting on location and working with minimal tools. I'm really excited for what's to come and can't wait to share with you. So as always, thank you for watching and see you soon!

Today's conversation with Dr. Andrew Goldberg takes many turns. We discuss being in and out of recovery, catch up on living as roommates in New York City, discuss some of the cool tools he's developed for his practice as a therapist, and so much more! https://www.321thismoment.com/

This week I sat down with keyboardist and multi instrumentalist Jason Goldstein for an earnest conversation about recovery, working out, having a dog, playing music, his ultimate dream gig and so much more! Check him out with Family Groove Company, Scary Pockets, and a whole host of other phenomenal ensembles.

This week's episode is with bassist Mauricio Morales, and we discuss everything from balance and focus to long term health and his ongoing love of video games. A true phenom of his instrument and composer to boot, check him out on Spotify and in concert wherever you can!

I've known Francisco for a long time, and have always admired his quiet drive and the way he handles his professional life behind the scenes. The stories I get to hear about how people pursue their goals continue to fascinate me, and Francisco's is no exception- he is serious about what he wants but humble about the work that it takes to get there.

Enjoy this week’s conversation with Dr. Dylan Caligiuri! Certainly a wild ride, and I learned a lot. From our shared experiences both being graduates of the USC Thornton DMA program, guitarists in the city of LA and beyond, and other particularities we have in common, we had a lot to discuss and I found it interesting to see where he and I differed in terms of how he operates professionally and what he prioritizes to achieve his goals. @eugeneanddylansguitarshowSubscribe to OLAAT on YouTube and more!https://linktr.ee/deenanbar

This week I had the honor of sitting down with Long Beach based artist and absolute force of nature, Calinnah! We discussed how she juggles her time between her career as an artist, a content creator, and a full time nurse, somehow managing to fit more in a day than anyone would have thought possible. Calinnah manages to stay positive despite the challenges, and lets me in on some of the tools she leans on to keep things moving towards her goals. Her message of consistency, planning, staying organized and being humble resonated with me and inspired me. She also dropped a whole bunch of book recommendations so for anyone like myself who gets a lot out of helpful literature, listen up.Calinnah on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG7TV1pU68BzcqHhf-C5VQCalinnah on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/77jJxXfZKy06Jp78C0p9di?si=Uizo_TigQX-cyq87D2pz8Q&nd=1&dlsi=93d5c766dad8474dCalinnah on IG:https://www.instagram.com/calinnah/

On this very special episode we are treated to the background and insights of Zephyr Avalon! I have always thought very highly of Zephyr and am lucky to be able to call him a friend, so it was a treat to get to interview him for the podcast. We discuss his background growing up in the SF Bay area, how he got into music, his love of Steely Dan, and a whole lot more.One Leg At A Time is updated weekly and is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Podcasts.

I am very excited to present my first full length interview featuring none other than a wonderful friend, international superstar and all around great human, Harry Terrell! From making bagels to writing fantastic songs, there seems to be nothing Harry can't do. We start out reminiscing about New York City (fond memories of BandH deli,) talk about music, talk about life and health and wealth and relationships and everything in between. This was a very relaxed conversation and it was great to get to know more about his background, in addition to sharing with him some of darker points of my story. We spoke on an unseasonably warm afternoon in the hills of Encino following a pretty luxurious lunch, and those things factored in for an easy and candid conversation. I was surprised by how comfortable I felt discussing my own addiction and the history of my substance use as well as rediscovering my health and sense of purpose and how those things became even stronger while I was out on tour. Listening back to this talk also made me realize that I still haven't figured out how to articulate the profound effect that taking care of my body has had for me. Health and fitness are more than the sum of the aesthetic results, but staying disciplined has offered a deeper sense of gratitude and purpose that I feel I get to participate in every time I move my body. I'm only now seeing that I need to dedicate some more work to properly express these details because these are fundamental to the themes of my programming. So in that sense, this has already been a learning experience as well as just a fun talk with a friend, and I'm looking forward to getting deeper into the work with you all. Catch Harry on the Still Woozy tour, his solo project and his band Breathing Effect, all very cool projects!
