Annie Keating (singer/songwriter, musician) is on the show to chat about John Prine’s “I Remember Everything” and her new album, Bristol County Tides! But, before we get into it, a question for the ages is prompted—who’s hotter: Paul Newman or Robert Redford?

When the dust settles, we discuss Annie’s pick, “I Remember Everything” by the late, great John Prine. Prine is a titan of folk music and you should familiarize yourself if you’re not already a fan.

Annie shares how Prine was a creative catalyst for the songs on her album, spending time outside of Brooklyn, learning to sail, and being honest with her music. That honestly hits another level when we get to hear what it’s like writing a song for someone and what it’s like to play that for them. Then we get introspective and try to pick out our number one albums of all time!

This week we’re supporting The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music in Brooklyn. This school celebrates folk music through festivals, classes, and outreach to local schools. Their hope is to support local and visiting artists all while educating students and whoever attends their shows. So join us in supporting The Jalopy’s cause!

Keep up with Annie on Twitter and Instagram. You can check out Bristol County Tides on Bandcamp and Spotify.

Jonathan Nelson “My Name Is Victory” with Rachel Pegram

This week on Repeater, we’re talking with comedian Rachel Pegram (UCB, That Shit Ray, Low Fi NYC) about Jonathan Nelson’s “My Name Is Victory”, and how it got her through the year, and kept her writing. Pat, Evan, and Rachel talk about the uplifting nature of gospel music, and hash out the “god” of it all.

We open this episode with current favorites like: “Worry” by Grace Vunderkuhn, “No Drug Like Me” by Carly Rae Jepsen, and Noname’s album: “Room 25”. Then we delve back into 2018 head on by planning an impromptu group trip to DC to see the new Obama portraits, which went up in the National Gallery this past year. In less exciting 2018 events, we talk about the northern California wildfires, and why you should not toss a joint after a hike.

Rachel shares with us her connection to gospel music, as both a genre that can motivate her, but also one that grounds her and connects her with her church going childhood in Texas. Rachel and the hosts talk about how the song is a different type of empowering than the strutting jams of a Lizzo or a Rihanna. It’s a song that does not need to try and be cute or clever, but will just make you feel like: “you’ve got this”, something we all could’ve used in 2018.

Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review, because we will read it on-air!!!
