Red Shaydez!OK let’s talk some sh**t!Sorry for the potty mouth. Just trying to introduce my next guest appropriately.Red Shaydez is a Do it your-selfer whose name I have heard countless times over the past few years. She is a busy woman and ta
Right when I first started ATB in 2016, emails asking to be a guest were few and far between. One of the first requests I ever got that year was from my next guest, who I never actually met until this past summer.Musician Justine Covault had h
Linnea Herzog is someone you don’t miss when you walk by her. Or see on stage. And I would surmise at her day job as a neuroscientist at The Broad Institute, you can’t miss her there either.Musicians are smart. But some are smarter than other
I saw my first show at Once Ballroom in Somerville a few years ago, entering the building, wondering if I just walked into a bar mitzvah, or as JJ Gonson first thought when she saw the room for the first time, a high school prom.But on the rais
Matt Lorenz, AKA The Suitcase Junket. Many sounds come from this one-man band. Sounds from actual suitcases, from guitars found in the trash to any number of odds and ends Matt procures, invents, and salvages. He is an inventive and talente

When COVID first hit Boston and we were sequestered in our hobbit holes, we decided to offer a window for everyone to see and hear live music for a musical respite from the pandemic.One of our guests on this program that we called #TogetherAtHo
I was very happy to sit with Knar Bedian, Founder and Editor in Chief of Sound of Boston music blog. I discovered Sound of Boston before I started Above The Basement and I am a huge fan. I asked Knar on in the early days of ATB and she polite
Like so many of the Boston musicians we have talked to, Avi Salloway from the band Billy Wylder is a very thoughtful guy who has learned that as an activist, you need to understand how to be an ally. Avi just released a new EP called Whatcha
Juliana Hatfield! If you did not know, Juliana is a Boston native and still resides in the city. You may see her finishing up her 10…ok maybe 5k run if you can pick her out from the crowd of masked runners. She likes the anonymity and this
Boston Radio and WBCN legend, Oedipus, is someone who seems to have said yes to everything. Oedipus got his start as an intern in college radio in the 70’s and worked his way into the WBCN family, creating the Boston Radio powerhouse that BCN
What is a Jamoke? Is a chump a jamoke? We really have no idea. But we love the question and will begin using the word Jamoke on a regular basis.These are the deep questions we dove into when talking with Jennifer D’Angora and Ed Valauskas. Pl
We first heard of Destiny Claymore in an article on Vanyaland and then in another piece by the great Jed Gottlieb in The Boston Herald. A Boston triple threat with an incredible, unique voice and dancing chops, Destiny had a pretty great 2020
We think what makes our conversations interesting is the face-to-face we always have and actually required at one point. We used to say no to virtual conversations. But we aren’t idiots, as far as you know, and we are still chatting with our
Part Two!Fans of Phish, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, these fans are all great. But nothing compares to the fans of the homegrown Boston band Neighbor.Whether that is hyperbole or not (Ron will need to find the definition of that word in a dic
Fans of Phish, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, these fans are all great. But nothing compares to the fans of the homegrown Boston band Neighbor. Whether that is hyperbole or not (Ron you can find the definition of that word in a dictionary), Th
We had a remote conversation with the Boston band The Devil’s Twins, who we’ve wanted to have on for a while. We do not like remote conversations, but we did find it was better than having them in person with masks on. First of all, it is obv
We sat with DJ, entrepreneur, and the first black woman to own a digital radio station, Ms. Hot Sauce – AKA Danielle O Johnson.This is probably the most raunchy episode we have ever done, which isn’t really saying much because, well, Ron and I
Boston born U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo got her start at Wally’s Jazz Café when she was tricked into performing her poetry in front of an audience by her friends. But her journey reaches much farther than the great Wally’s. U-Meleni spent her youth
Anyone who grew up in the Boston area in the '70s will remember the GBH theme music that played on our TV sets while we sat 10 inches away from the TV and watched Sesame Street or the always hip kids show Zoom. No, not the Zoom we all use today
Chuck had a solo conversation with the great New England band Twisted Pine. He sat with fiddle player Kathleen Parks, mandolin player Dan Bui and bassist Chris Sartori not too long ago. We missed Twisted Pine's newest addition, Anh Phung, who
In early November we ran across an article in the Boston Globe about a collaboration between the Boston Hip Hop group STL GLD and The Boston Symphony Orchestra. The headline alone caught our interest – the BSO is collaborating with a hip hop ar
It has been an insane few weeks, which is an understatement to say the least since that could apply to the entirety of 2020 if not the last four years. We don’t mean to lay our politics out there, but whatever your beliefs, 2020 can’t end soon
Mission of Burma has been called, and we quote, "...one of the most important American rock bands of the last 20 years." That quote may be a bit dated, as now it may be 40 years, but either way, Clint Conley may find that to be hyperbole. But t
