Eliot Bronson is a singer and songwriter from Baltimore, Maryland, who now makes his home in Atlanta, Georgia. His forthcoming Oliver Wood produced record Arrive will land on November 6, 2026, and y'all, it is an album we will return to for many years to come. Expert writing. Assuasive melodies. Expert performance. I've been a fan of Eliot's for years and this is by far my favorite of his albums.  It is my pleasure to bring you my conversation with Eliot Bronson!

Elanor Moss is a singer and songwriter from the UK whose record The Knife, The Needle has been on constant rotation lately. This record is haunting and beautiful, lyrically rich and immersive. The Knife, The Needle has been more than just a good listen. It has provided a lens through which to process some big questions in my life.  Follow The Marinade at: marinadepodcast.com Support The Marinade on:   -Substack: https://substack.com/@marinadepodcast   -Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/marinadepodcast Follow Elanor at: https://www.elanormoss.com/

Kevin Meehan and Amrita Ghosh of the band Ghost Peppers are our guests for Episode 220 of The Marinade. Amrita and Kevin met as professors at the University of Central Florida. The working relationship blossomed into a one-of-a-kind creative partnership. Ghost Peppers exists to bridge cultural divides and spread light. Their writing draws from multiple musical traditions and languages to create a potent cocktail that examines the human condition. Their full length record No Borders was released in February of 2026. I have had the pleasure of seeing these songs live for a couple of years and am excited to help bring them to a broader audience.

Amy Martin is a singer and songwriter from Virginia, who now makes her home in Colorado. Her latest record Bones is an introspective and emotionally satisfying success, and this conversation will give you a window into how she was able to create such a gorgeous piece of art.  Y'all, I think this is one of those talks that folks will be referencing to me as their favorite Marinade episode for years to come. Amy and I connected in a serious way and I am so grateful for the opportunity.

Colin Halliburton is the lead singer and principal songwriter for the Kansas-based band The Roseline. His poetic storytelling has been in my life for about five years now when I got turned on to The Rosline's 2021 release Constancy. The bar was set high with that record, and I think they cleared it with their brand new record 86 Gumption.  Y'all, Colin is a delight. I'm so grateful for the music he makes and for his time and energy. Everyone, it is my pleasure to bring, for the second time, my conversation with Colin Halliburton!

India Ramey is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee, whose latest record Villain Era is a middle finger to the musical status quo told through the sonic lens of a spaghetti western. She told her producer Eric Corne she wanted the album to sound like Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn had risen from the grave to score a Quentin Tarantino film. Yeah, I know. Incredibly cool concept and they knocked it out of the park. If you haven't listened, give Villain Era a spin as soon as you finish this conversation.

Maya de Vitry is our guest for Episode 216 of The Marinade! Maya is a singer, songwriter, and producer whose latest record All My Faith is a lyrical and sonic triumph. All My Faith was recorded in real time, over three days, and without edits. The songs revel in the beauty of love, aging, and simple moments. They find comfort in simple acts of kindness.  What you will hear in this conversation is that Maya de Vitry the person is every bit as deep, charming, and intelligent as the songs she pens.

John R. Miller is a singer and songwriter from West Virginia who is one of the most unique voices in American music. His latest record The Great Unkowning has been garnering high praise and is way up on our list for the best of 2026. The album is sixteen songs that clip along and cover a ton of ground. His live show is a masterclass in performance. And, as you will hear in this conversation, he is a hell of an interesting guy. This episode is special for a few reasons, including a Marinade first.

Nathan Evans Fox is a singer, songwriter, thinker, activist, and all around bad ass from North Carolina who is doing what I see as crucial work. We get into so many reasons why in this episode. His incredible record Heirloom, which is probably my favorite of the year. His must read Substack, which includes his anti-confederate book club. His advocacy for working class Appalachian folks. I am continually impressed by Nathan and am grateful for the time and energy he shared with us.

Brian Cullman is an acclaimed musician and journalist from New York whose memoir How to Prepare For The Past: Travels in Music and Time is one of my favorite reads of the year. The book tells tales of encounters with big names like Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, Big Joe Turner, Bo Diddley, George Martin, and more. But, the stories in these pages are deeply relatable and human. After just a few minutes talking to Brian, I realized why.

Liam St. John is a rock n' roll singer and songwriter whose debut studio full length record Man of the North was released in September of 2025. He climbed out of some dark places to deliver this record. His voice grabs you by the throat and takes you on a ride through religious trauma, family dynamics, toughness, pain, and self-discovery.  I keep coming back to this record, and I think this conversation will help you understand why. Quick note: The first part of Liam's vocals did not record, so I'm dropping you off about fifteen minutes into the conversation. You'll be okay. That's showbiz, bayba!  Support The Marinade on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/marinadepodcast Vote for The Marinade in Orlando Weekly's Best Of 2026: https://2026-best-of-orlando-voting--orlandoweekly.contest.vote/local-notables/best-local-podcast All things Liam St. John: https://liamstjohn.com/
