  • Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast - #94 w/ Talia Keys
    2025/04/14
    On this episode we chat with veteran songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and activist, Talia Keys. Based in Salt Lake City, Talia is known for her powerful vocals & captivating performances. With over 16 years of experience in the music industry Talia continues to be passionate about using her platform to raise awareness on issues like gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and social justice. From The Ashes , is the first release under Buy Before You Stream, an initiative designed by Midtopia to support independent artists by offering a sustainable revenue model outside the streaming economy. Here fans can purchase exclusive vinyl editions of albums before they hit streaming platforms, with 100% of the profits going directly to the artist! The initiative aims to foster direct artist-to-fan relationships, support local record stores, and build a more equitable music ecosystem for independent musicians. “When fans buy vinyl, they’re holding onto something real, something that ties them to the music and to me as an artist. It’s a way to share a moment, to create lasting memories, and to give fans a piece of my journey. And at the same time it’s a way for us, as independent artists, to keep doing what we love, without having to rely on the systems that often leave us behind.” Talia concludes, “We’ve reached a point where artists need to come together and demand better from the industry. This is about taking back our worth and rebuilding our careers. Buy Before You Stream is a lifeline for independent musicians, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”From The Ashes is a record that was a year in the making, self-funded by Talia herself, and features collaborations with a string section and longtime collaborators. The album’s title reflects her personal evolution—from anger and protest to gratitude and resilience—and its lead single, “⁠Matchstick⁠,” is a deeply emotional tribute to her late friend and disability rights advocate Psarah Johnson.Talia has gained a loyal following playing Salt Lake City clubs for over fifteen years, and has furthered her fanbase performing on national tours and festivals. In 2024, Keys released an emotional standalone single “Need You To Care”, which followed a series of covers including “Seven Nation Army” (The White Stripes), “I Put A Spell On You” (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins), and “Sweet Dreams” (The Eurythmics). In 2023, Talia was direct tour support for Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, a fortuitous opportunity and budding professional relationship that would facilitate her performing to enthusiastic new audiences all over the U.S. She has also opened for the Indigo Girls, Danielle Ponder, Thievery Corporation, Joanne Shaw Taylor, George Clinton & P-Funk, Blues Traveler, Rusted Root, ALO and many more. Resonant and raw, 2022’s LP Lessons saw Keys emerge from the pandemic chaos recharged and reborn, leaning into strength and resilience with more clarity and focus in her compositions. With typically-provocative lyrics dotting the kaleidoscopic album, the biting barbs addressed her own space and place as a queer woman in today’s divided America. 2015’s Fool’s Gold EP, the live-looping adventures of Gemini Mind (2014), and debut Soak Your Meat In This (2012). Before breaking out on her own musical trip, Keys assumed numerous roles in the seminal funk-jam syndicate Marinade, with whom she logged six years of shenanigans from 2009-2015.Talia Keys: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠| ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Music⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midtopia |Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ESP Playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Talia's Playlist⁠

  • Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast - #93 w/ Amy Atchley
    2025/03/19
    On this episode we chat with Austin, TX based singer-songwriter Amy Atchley Originally from the Galveston area, Atchley landed in Austin after several years honing her skills in New York City. There she performed at venues such as CBGB’s, The Bitter End and The Living Room and worked for MTV.Amy's signature ethereal vocal style and catchy melodies that blend pop, indie rock, folk, and classical influences are are seamlessly crafted on her latest release. Sometimes a Woman is King , released in 2023, is her fourth solo album. Produced by Robert Harrison of Cotton Mather, the record consists of eight new original songs and an impressive cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark". Atchley delivers expertly crafted indie pop reminiscent of artists such as Vanessa Carlton, Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, and Aimee Mann. We conducted this interview on the heels of National Women's Day, and specifically discussed our favorite female artists and recordings. It couldn't have been more fitting...The title track, “Sometimes a Woman is King” is about sisterhood and is for all the strong women and survivors, the moms, the mother figures, the leaders out front and the quiet storms behind the scenes; to all the women who keep the world turning and to Mother Earth, herself. This track is a universal anthem-like song that features Amy’s arresting vocals, piano playing and songwriting that introduces listeners to the dreamy landscape that she and Harrison have created. Amy and her husband, Elias Haslanger, a critically acclaimed jazz saxophonist, reside in Austin, TX, where, in addition to her music career, Atchley serves as a leader in social and environmental justice initiatives. She works with Austin Energy and is involved in various community projects aimed at promoting sustainability and social impact. Atchley has performed with the critically-acclaimed Austin groups Fabu and Hush and can be heard on jingles used in national ad campaigns for Disney, eBay, the NY Lottery, Barbie/Mattel and more.

  • Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast - #92 w/ Madeleine Hamilton
    2025/03/03

    On this episode guest co-host Adam Kirby joins Skunk Manhattan to chat with writer, comedian, and fervent bagpiper, Madeleine Hamilton. Madeline, a native Texan originally from Houston, lived in Los Angeles and studied abroad in Scotland (where she took up and became obsessed with bagpipes) before relocating to Austin, TX.

    Her bagpipes-centric "Piping Hot", was performed at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and she received four star reviews from The Scotsman and Broadway World. The one woman show is essentially a first timer’s bagpipes lesson, but Madeleine teaches about the bagpipes through true stories of her sexual escapades. American made, with and a pile of kilts purchased on Amazon, she has incorporates her country’s trademark lack of propriety and chronic horniness into the show. Each part of the bagpipes unfortunately reminds her of a man from her past, and Madeleine weaves a narrative of her search for love and coping with heartbreak against the backdrop of her true love: the loudest instrument ever.

    Madeleine has been doing stand-up comedy for over 6 years, ran a show for a year and a half, and performed at The Comedy Store and Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. To date, she has written four pilots and two features, and has twice placed in the Second Round of the Austin Film Festival.

    Madeleine is currently working on a degree in accounting at the University of Texas, while performing solo or with the Austin-based pipes and drums group, Silver Thistle. She is also working on the third draft of a novel which has caused a stunning amount of family drama.
