Welcome to Episode 61. For this episode, we met up with Kyle Poissonnier, owner of Elykssor Clothing, and Peter Jensen Bissell. We got together to discuss the Elykssor Clothing 4th Annivery Charity event. The event will be held at The Asylum with The Mallett Bros, Spose, Joe Gallant and The Other Bones. While Baxter Brewing will ensure that there is plenty of awesome beer.
While we did spend quite a bit of time discussing the event and the musicians involved, we also talked about where Elykssor Clothing came from and how it has grown. We also discussed some business ideas that relate to musicians as well, (Eric Bettencourt, you get a nod in this dialogue.)

Welcome to episode 60. In this episode we spent some time with Milled Pavement artist, Brzowski. First, along with Erin, (one of the finest bartenders in the city), he taught us about bitters. Then we dove headfirst in to a conversation about being a “left of center” rap artist, the joys of SXSW, touring through Europe and of course, Milled Pavement.

Welcome to episode 59. This episode is a bit different than past ones, for a couple reasons. First of all we recorded this using only Skype audio. Secondly, the artists that we talked with are not from Maine, but coming though on a tour they booked themselves. Which gave us a great perspective in to topics that we’ve been discussing over the last several months.
Julia Barry, along with her bass player John Lenis will be headlining a performance at Blue, with touring compatriot, Nehemiah Luckett. We started off discussing the work that goes in to booking tours and advancing each of the shows. We also jumped down the rabbit hole of life/music/work balance. But we also spent a great deal of time discussing Julia and John’s instrumentation, (voice, piano, bass) and the way compositions come together, both during the writing process and in a live performance.
This performance will be on May 5 at Blue on Congress St in Portland.
Julia will also be talking and playing live with Ross Gauvin on WMPG, May 5 from 3:30pm – 4:15pm.

Welcome to Episode 57. Trent, Kevin and myself met up with Spose to discuss his newest album, The Audacity! And we cut deep.
In addition to talking about some of the broader themes of the album, we spent a lot of time discussing how the album was made and his progression as an artist. We pretty much covered almost everything you need to know, without any spoilers.
The Audacity! will be released on April 17, with a CD release show at Empire in Portland on April 20.
Special thanks to Sly Chi for letting us crash their practice space again. You will be seeing them at the CD release show too.

Welcome to episode 56. In this episode we got together to discuss Jeff Beam’s newest album, Be Your Own Mirror. Since Jeff’s last visit to freezingprocess.net, he has officially joined The Milkman’s Union. And in addition to seeing Jeff perform with those guys, those guys can also be found performing as part of Jeff’s band for his solo performances. So, he was kind enough to bring along Henry and Scott, Peter joined us towards the end.
In addition to discussing the way he balances both of these musical eneavors, we also discussed the way in which this album was recorded, maintaining momentum for both bands, and “sound collages.”
Check out Jeff’s CD Release show this Friday, April 6, at Empire in Portland, with The Tan Vampires and Phantom Buffalo.
