Andy Reed Interview on The Time Machine

Singer-songwriter Andy Reed was a guest on The Time Machine this past week. The Michigan based artist shared his thoughts on the music from his album "Fast Forward" and his debut EP "The Great Compression". Andy's songwriting skills are strong and with his other roles as an engineer, producer and a multi-instrumentalist, The Time Machine Crew finds the artist fitting quite comfortably on our playlists.







We've raved about internet radio station KGRL over the years as the station that The Time Machine Crew listens to when not at work. That's right...we listen to other radio programmers because we already know what we play and talk about, so it's fun to listen to someone else as escapism like any other radio listener. In addition to KGRL, which is celebrating it's fourth year this month, we often find ourselves listening in on Saturday evenings to an AM radio broadcast online from WMEL in Florida. Saturday nights have been the home to "Pop Garden Radio" hosted by Adam Waltemire. Our own Michael McCartney even found himself as an in-studio guest back in 2007. This coming Saturday, May 15th, 2010 will be the broadcast's fifth anniversary. Following Andy Reed's interview on this broadcast, Adam Waltemire drops in and discusses the last five years of "Pop Garden Radio". Adam also trades banter with The Time Machine's producer Jenny Leong.

Seth Swirsky of The Red Button Interview on The Time Machine

Singer-songwriter Seth Swirsky along with Mike Ruekberg are the multi-talented duo behind The Red Button. Seth was a guest on The Time Machine and discussed the album "She's About To Cross My Mind" that is filled with so many musical gems that the album became one of our most played albums on the air for 2007.

In addition to The Red Button, Seth also talked about his solo work and his many records composed for other artists like; Rufus Wainwright, Taylor Dayne, Al Green, Jane Weidlin, Michael McDonald, Celine Dion, The Poppies, Xscape, Olivia Newton-John, Charles & Eddie, Smokey Robinson, Brenda K. Starr, Trey Lorenz, Bonfire, Air Supply, Faith Evans and Tina Turner. In addition to getting the chance to compose songs with Eric Carmen, Seth is also a published best selling author ("Baseball Letters" from 1996, "Every Pitcher Tells A Story" from 1999 and "Something To Write Home About" from 2003) and a film maker. His documentary film "A Year In The Life" is set for a summer release and consists of interviews he had done with his hand-held camera with people who had a story about themselves and The Beatles. It’s not a “tribute” or “anthology” piece, according to Seth, just people from all walks of life with a neat, specific Beatles story.

Seth Swirsky also performed a bit on his guitar during the interview to demonstrate the inner workings of his songwriting craft.
