UTC 038 – Co-Creator of ‘A Pirate’s Tale’ Shaun Rolly

Shaun Rolly of A Pirate's TaleShaun Rolly is the co-creator of the musical “A Pirate’s Tale”.  He’s a really fun and interesting pirate with a knack for jumping off the deep end without a plan.  Get learned up on what happens at stuntman school and how that led Shaun to creating a full scale musical that fits inside a ship in Pittsburg.

I also do some blathering about the loss of Prince and his importance to my work.  And I let you in on some of my other ‘secret mentors’.

Today’s show is sponsored by:

Anything Goes Vermont – Unique handmade goods for your favorite pirate.

Plus comedy from Robert Duchaine and of course, music from “A Pirate’s Tale”. Plus I’ll play you one of my own songs that was thoroughly inspired by Prince.

UTC 037 – Irish Pirate Rock Band O’Craven

Irish Pirate Rock Band O'CravenO’Craven is a great band with the extremely specific niche of Irish Pirate Rock, from San Jose, CA.  In this interview we dig into how they stumbled across the music they were meant to be playing.  We also talk a lot about how being way different from most bands has helped them stand out in a positive way.

Bonus! Since the band and I are in the same town, I finally got to do an in-person interview!  Thankfully I thought ahead enough to get video of the proceedings too. And since I had video of the interview, I figured I’d film my talky parts before and after the interview too, just for fun.

If you like the video stuff, let me know and I’ll do more of it.  Definitely hoping to do some at the NorCal Pirate Festival in June.  Our favorite Irish Pirate rockers will be there too!

Today’s show is sponsored by:

Anything Goes Vermont – Unique handmade goods for your favorite pirate.

Plus comedy from Irish comedian Dave Nihill (There’s a theme? Yes!) and of course, music from O’Craven.  You’ll hear a song called “Pint Glass” and I’ll explain in the show why I picked that one.

UTC 030 – Capt. Jack Gozno of Scoundrel’s Inn Talks Pirate Music

Jack Gonzo of Scoundrel's Inn Pirate MusicI like pirate music, but I don’t know nearly as much about it as Jack Gonzo does.  He does a great pirate music radio show every Wednesday at 9pm Central called Scoundrel’s Inn.

During our talk, we dive a little into how Jack go started in this space.  And we talk a lot about how varied pirate music can really be.  He also suggests a great starter pack of bands if you’re unfamiliar with the genre.

And you’ll find out the one-genre of music that hasn’t been touched by pirates yet.  (Which I may take care of soon…)

This episode sponsored by:
Southern Yellow Pine Publishing, home of The Pirate of Panther Bay series by SR Staley.

These are the “starter kit” bands that Jack suggests during the interview.  You can’t go wrong with any of these:

Pirate Charles
Musical Blades
Pride of Bedlam
The Jolly Rogers
Dread Crew of Oddwood
Bilgerats and Pirates

Plus comedy from Shawn Halpin about his favorite radio stations and a song called “Share My Pixie Dust” by Phil Johnson and Roadside Attraction.

Yeah, I don’t usually play my own stuff like that, but I wasn’t able to spend as much time as usual harassing bands for a track this week. 🙂

Speaking of which… Are you a band or comedian?  Pirate or not… If you’d like me to play your stuff on the show, just send me an email at Phil@UnderTheCrossbones.com and let’s make it happen.
