Joe Olnick Interview – Mid Tenn Listens Podcast

by Joshua (J.Smo) Smotherman June 11, 2017 8:00 am Tagged With: ambient, Experimental, Instrumental, Jazz, Rock

Changing musical gears and moving from recent ambient experiments back into the instrumental rock/groove/jam aisle, it’s the highly anticipated follow-up to the Up All Night CD.

Soulful and funky, Joe’s fifth album is a new collection of original music recorded in 2016 mastered by Grammy award winner Reuben Cohen of Lurssen Mastering in Burbank, CA for exceptional sound quality.

Joe Olnick‘s music combines classic elements into new explorations of sound and rhythm. His albums are instrumental and improvisational, with an emphasis on jazz/rock/groove and ambient atmospheres. Seemingly random patterns are arranged into unique modern statements that communicate the soul in his art.

In this interview, we chat with Joe about his latest release, influences, navigating the digital music world and more.

As the collective attention span shrinks, Eddie Canyon finds himself searching for meaning within the noise. Reaching into and around his Arkansas roots, Eddie carves a distinctively southern Hip Hop undercurrent in his exploratory approach to music. Weaving tales of battling addiction, thoughts on spirituality, and irreverent social commentary into his lyrics, Eddie aims to intrigue his audience at the least, and at most, leave them with a liberating degree of thoughtfulness. In his own words: “The Matrix is real, but there’s a way out.” Support on Spotify or Bandcamp.
