    448 - Orleans - Chat with Lance Hoppen - Farewell Tour and Looking Back
    Jul 8 2026
    It’s an incredible night of classic music - Jefferson Starship, joined by Orleans, Firefall, and the Atlanta Rhythm Section - all four bands had multiple hits during the 1970’s and early 80’s. The show is making a stop at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio on Thursday, July 16th.

    Now, one of the band’s on the bill is Orleans, who’s unique blend of harmonies and melody fueled hits like “Dance With Me,” “Still the One,” and the underrated, “Love Takes Time.” The group put out the excellent holiday offering, New Star Shining in 2021, but have recently announced on their website, orleansonline.net, that this is their farewell tour.

    We’d like to welcome original member, bassist Lance Hoppen to the show.

    Hoppen chats about the decision to make this their final tour, plus he reveals plans for a 50th anniversary album (albeit, a few years late). He also talks about joining the band right out of high school, and playing on the Midnight Special TV show.

    447 - Van Duren - New, Archival Concert: Chemical Fire - Van Duren Live 1978
    Apr 29 2026
    Memphis native Van Duren has a gift for creating melodic rock with an unique edge. His 1978 album, Are You Serious? is perhaps the greatest album you’ve never heard. He played with members of the legendary band, Big Star, and formed his own great group, Good Question. More recently, he’s issued some fine albums with Vickie Loveland, under the Loveland Duren moniker. And, he was the subject of the documentary, Waiting: The Van Duren Story, which is available to stream now on Amazon Prime.

    Van Duren’s latest offering is a live concert, broadcast over the radio, entitled Chemical Fire: Van Duren Live 1978 - available digitally for the first time at Duren's Bandcamp site: vanduren.bandcamp.com

    We chat the odd circumstances surrounding this recording. For instance, the fact that the audience was in one room and the band was in another! There were also no fixes, this is Duren and band, live as it happened on the radio.

    446 - Peter Case - New Album, My Life to Live - Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop
    Apr 12 2026
    Peter Case’s 5-decade career in music has had many twists and turns, starting with the influential band the Nerves in the late Seventies, then the Plimsouls, who had an early eighties MTV hit with “A Million Miles Away.” Peter’s first, self-titled solo album from 1986 helped jump start the roots movement of the mid-80’s.

    13 solo albums and now My Life to Live, from Sunset Blvd Records - Case's first, full-length live album, recorded at a familiar venue, McCabe’s Guitar Shop.

    We chat about the unique venue, plus how he rearranged a couple of his classic Plimsouls' songs for this album.
