    Side Projects: Getting Into Jazz w/Chris Greene & Mike Baggetta
    Feb 21 2025
    Today we’re talking about jazz, eventually. My computer crashed so this is take two! My guests are Mike Baggetta from mssv among other projects and Chris Greene of the Chris Greene Quartet. They’ve both been on the show before. I highly recommend going back to their episodes to get their stories. Today I’ve posed a challenge to these guys. What jazz artist or album should I check out if I like a specific genre of music? I get some great recommendations but more importantly, the conversation goes to places I never imagined. Mike talks about how Mike Watt and Stephen Hodge have helped him grow as a songwriter and a singer. Chris talks about discovering raw talent in his own family. And we talk about the latest Chris Greene Quartet album and the upcoming mssv album from Mike Baggetta, Mike Watt, & Stephen Hodge. Check them both out on Bandcamp or on their websites: chrisgreenejazz.com or @chrisgreenejazz on socials.Mike is at mikebaggetta.com and mainsteamstopvalve.com or @mikebaggetta on Instagram & mssv on Facebook. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on X & Instagram. Our merch is found at performanceanx.threadless.com or you can support us at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

  • James Cook (Captain's Audio Project, Trashcan Joe)

    James Cook (Captain's Audio Project, Trashcan Joe)
    Feb 11 2025
    This guest makes me feel like I’m in a Mark Twain novel. Welcome James Cook of Trashcan Joe. He’s got a new project called Captain’s Audio Project and the two bands are like yin and yang. They both have that old-time jazz feel. But where Trashcan Joe is fun, upbeat, and occasionally raucous, Captain’s Audio Project is a little more melancholy. James grew up in a very musical family but he’s the only one of his siblings to find his way into the music business. As I’ve mentioned, he plays old-time jazz. But he didn’t start out that way. He got into Hendrix, Zeppelin, Sabbath, and the rock of the day when his neighbor gave him his entire record collection. That’s an interesting story! He tells me how he went from hard rock to the jazz he plays now. He talks about busking through Europe with Jimbo Trout, building instruments from found objects, and how Trashcan Joe started. Check out Captain’s Audio Project on Bad Man Records. Preorder it and maybe James can come play a gig in your area. Follow him at Trashcan Joe’s social pages, for the time being. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials. You can support the show through merch at performanceanx.threadless.com or by sending us money for coffee at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

  • Tex Mosely (Neverland Ranch Davidians)

    Tex Mosely (Neverland Ranch Davidians)
    Feb 1 2025
    Today’s guest was bound to happen. Meet Tex Mosely from Neverland Ranch Davidians. Tex and his band were suggested to me a couple of years ago by my friend Ian. I reached out and we tried to get everything to mesh but just couldn’t make it work. A few years later, here we are. Tex talks about growing up in Philly and having music all around him. His uncle was a professional bass player. Tex started playing guitar and even took lessons from jazz legend, Pat Martino! He began his life in music in Philly, but he eventually found his way to LA. He joined up with The Slaves and found favor with Concrete Blonde, one of my favorite bands. But after a while, rock and roll and substance abuse took its toll on him. But he found help, love, and safety back with his family in Philly. After his recovery, Tex moved back to LA and joined a band called Neighborhood Bullys. They had such a good sound that they ended up being Suzi Quatro’s band for her album In The Spotlight. But there’s one odd thing about that recording and I’ll let Tex tell that story. Tex’s latest band is Neverland Ranch Davidians. It started off as a lo-fi project and wound up being his singing debut. He tells how he met the other band members, Max Hagen and Will Bentley and how he came up with the band name. Their sophomore release is out soon and it’s an amalgamation of all Tex’s influences (except maybe Pat Martino). It's called Shout It On The Mountain and that title tells it all. It’s a rock album. That’s it. Tex is a blast to talk with and shares great stories from his early days through the making of the new album. Pre-order it on Heavy Medication Records, buy the debut, and follow Neverland Ranch Davidians on the socials. You can’t miss them. Follow us @PerformanceAnx, buy merch at performanceanx.threadless.com and send money through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.
