Monkey House is on a roll, and at the top of their game with the release of their new studio album for Alma Records titled “Crashbox”. Following the success of their 2022 release, “Remember The Audio”, band leader Don Breithaupt and his steady cast of musicians have once again crafted a new collection of songs that comprise what is arguably their finest album, with stellar songwriting, impeccable production, and it includes some very special guests. But don’t take our word for it. Take it from Don Breithaupt himself, the creative mind behind Monkey House and their brand new album, “Crashbox”, which is due out June 6. Inside MusiCast is pleased to once again welcome Don Breithaupt.

For nearly 55 years, The Doobie Brothers have been creating music and touring the world with no signs of slowing down. And for the first time in the band’s history, the four current, principal members have recorded in-studio together for their upcoming album release titled, “Walk This Road”, which is set to be released on June 6. The album launch will also include an extensive tour of Europe and the States that begins in July. “Walk This Road” contains ten tracks and is a true band effort, and it includes the return of Michael McDonald alongside founding members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, as well as John McFee, and was produced by John Shanks. The new album contains a variety of musical styles, with great vocal harmonies and the incredible musicianship we’ve all come to expect from this Hall of Fame caliber band. Here to talk to us today about “Walk This Road”, and his reentry into the band, is our good friend and past guest, Michael McDonald.

When we first learned about Young Gun Silver Fox ten years ago, we knew the duo of Andy Platts and Shawn Lee had created something very special. Since their 2015 debut album, West End Coast, they’ve released three additional albums that continue to pour the foundation of their truly signature sound. It’s West Coast AOR, but it’s a unique, genre-blending sound that’s unquestionably their own. Today we’ll talk with Shawn and Andy about their fifth album release, Pleasure, which releases today. This is no doubt another solid effort from the guys, and quite possibly their best album yet. Soon, they’ll embark on a two-show teaser US tour in New York City and also at the Troubadour in LA. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome back Andy Platts and Shawn Lee of Young Gun Silver Fox.
