EPISODE 43: Guest Producer Trinity Neal of Music Tsunami

From time to time, we feature podcast episodes where someone besides me picks the music. I feel it helps add variety. If you'd like to be a guest producer, feel free to write me at iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com.

This month's episode's songs were all picked and chosen by Trinity Neal, founder of the Des Moines music website, Music Tsunami.

In case you didn't read about it last week, Music Tsunami describes itself this way:

"This page is to give support and pay tribute to: All our musicians, bands and artists that are sharing their talents with us. They struggle in their daily lives to trade their passion in for pennies so that we can have music in our world.

"This is an ALL genre promotion page. You will not be turned down because of the genre you or your band plays. All of you are invited as well as encouraged to post to your music, pics, videos, show information, merch etc..."
- from their Facebook page

"This site is dedicated to give support and pay tribute to: All our musicians, bands and artists that are sharing their talents with us. They struggle in their daily lives to trade their passion in for pennies so that we can have music in our world. Support local musicians. Wherever you are go see a show! Buy their shit and talk about them with your buds. THANK YOU FOR ROCKIN OUR SOULS!"
- from their ReverbNation page

Besides founding and working on Music Tsunami, the only things I know about Trinity is she married to 3 people and has a civil union with another! And that for her "me + ☊ = goodbye world". Her politics involve rejecting the system! And she studied blowing shit up with her mind at Iowa State Univeristy. She also studied Human Evolution and Behaviour at You in Nairobi!

Episode 29 - Guest Producer Craig Hlas of The Iowa Made Network, Part 2 of 2

Well, we present the second part of our shows with guest producer, Craig Hlas, of the Iowa Made Network!

As we said last time, Craig and his wife have a website that shows where you can get and find all sorts of stuff from and made in Iowa - Iowa Made Network! So with both of us being proud Iowans celebrating Iowans, I was more than happy to put a couple of podcasts from a list of tunes chosen by him!

In the last podcast episode, we featured some of Craig's folkier and more laid back tunes. This episode, we feature some of the poppier, and more upbeat stuff.

IOWA MUSIC SHOWCASE PODCAST - Episode 28: Guest Producer Craig Hlas of The Iowa Made Network, Part 1 of 2

Craig Hlas is the creator of The Iowa Made Network website.

And I am going to le him describe that website in his own words from his website:

"Hi. We’re Craig and Jill Hlas of Cedar Rapids. We started the Iowa Made Network in 2002 as a way to connect producers, growers, and entrepreneurs across the state of Iowa with customers interested in their products. We’re just two Iowans who set this up with a lot of research; visits with Iowa creators at fairs, farmers markets, and festivals; and plenty of love for the surprising and stellar products we’ve discovered along the way.

"Iowamade.net is a great way for people to find quality items created by Iowans! We’re proud of our state, and our mission with this website is to help make that happen.

"We’ll be promoting the Iowa Made Network throughout the year, giving people across the state and around the globe an opportunity to learn more about the exciting, innovative, quality products made right here.

"Iowa Made Network is created and run by Iowans to promote products created in this great state. We welcome any questions or suggestions, and we’re happy to add your listing to the site.

"Email Iowa Made Network"


Craig Hlas has been a big fan and supporter of Iowa Music Showcase. So I'm glad to return the favor and give him a chance to promote his website supporting Iowa producers and businesses in the same way I try to support Iowa musicians.

If you want to support this great state, give his website a look and some love - http://iowamade.net/.


As for the podcast, Craig Hlas has picked some of his favorite tunes by Iowa artists, and we're be playing them on this and the next episode.

On this episode, we feature some of the folkier and more laid back selection. Next episode will have some the poppier, rockier, and more uptempo selections.

Episode 11: Guest Producer Bryon Dudley

Bryon Dudley got this opportunity because he won a contest, but now I've decided to open to anybody and anyone interested! If you would like to pick the music for an episode, feel free to send a list of 15-30 minutes worth of music by Iowa artists, of ANY genre or decade, to iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com.  And if I can get permission from the artists, I will play your list on a future episode!

If you haven't heard of Bryon Dudley, then you probably aren't very involved in the central Iowa, or at least Ames, music scene, Byron, usually along with his wife Rachel, is, and has been in numerous bands here.

But besides being a talented and prolific musician, Byron runs the record label, Nova Labs. He also runs a recording studio, The Spacement. And if that's not enough, he is also one of the co-owners of The Iowa Music Store!

So I feel it is both appropriate and an honor to have Bryon as my first, but hopefully not last, guest producer on my podcast!
