The Soundwizard PodcastE011 - Jeff Plankenhorn"All thanks to Rosetta" with Jeff Plankenhorn
We got to hang with slide virtuoso Jeff Plankenhorn, a long time Austin icon known for poly instrumental mastery and impossible-to-convey kindness. You feel better when this man is in the room - and that sentiment doubles when he plays... and “play” is exactly the right word. Listen to Jeff school the Soundwizards throughout this fun and funny episode from Heelys to the definition of "Unplugged".
From the childhood music teacher that first told him “playing music is exactly that: playing,” to household names he’s been friends with for decad...2020-09-1455 minThe Soundwizard PodcastME003 - Chicken Squirt LIVE at the ASsSIFWAP 2020!Go back in time with TSWP all the way to January when we could hug and complain about "close talkers"... This MINI episode is from the Second Annual Super secret Super Inclusive Free Week Art Party! We invited audience members on stage to JAM with TSWP house band, in this weird and wild episode.

If you catch Mobley perform, you won’t simply enjoy his creative work - you’ll share a lived experience with someone who has put plenty of thought and effort into exactly what those moments feel like - for you, him, and everyone else in the room...2020-04-0848 minThe Soundwizard PodcastE009 - Valen ForeverWe got to hang out with Valen (@valenforever), a human with a built in weapon and the heart & mind to wield it as an instrument. Lots of us are sentimental. Some of us are serious. For many, this is a dangerous combo. For Valen, this is simply the honest reality that singing about things like forever demands. Band name this episode: “Orphan Verses”. As always, please ignore all wizard commentary, & just listen to how real Valen lives. And shit, we damn near wrote a song (it's in the jam to be different)...Check out her music video for "Winona Forever"!2020-03-251h 05The Soundwizard PodcastE008 - Jodi, Phil, and RozieWe got to hang out with a couple atmospheric mega-nerds from the band Moving Panoramas (@MovingPanoramas): Phil, Jodi, and Rozie - recognize! They recently raised over $4,000 dollars for mental health non-profit SIMS Foundation and the band landed on NPR’s “Austin 100 Great Bands”. Jodi will tell you what you didn’t want to know about Phil Collins, and one-up that dark moment with invisibility and self-awareness. Speaking of humans named Phil: Rozie’s parents met at a Dr. Phil(@DrPhil) seminar, while attending with their previous partners. Can’t make this shit up. #autohagiography
