In the Flamingo Lounge this week is singer, songwriter, producer, jingle writer, and two-time Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductee, Phil Dillon!

Phil was first on the show back in March 2023, and if you heard that episode, you know his career in music spans decades—from fronting 70s Buffalo originals like Flash and Dylan & Brady, to spending nearly 30 years in Nashville writing, producing, and working with top-tier talent. He's back in Western New York, still deeply woven into our local music scene. Phil visited the Flamingo Lounge on August 17 to sit back down to share even more stories from his incredible journey.

This weeks' guests, Janna Willoughby-Lohr, My Rap Name is Alex, Michael Delaney and Rebecca Mercurio, from BloodThirsty Vegans, are a musical family that makes music (sweet, sweet music) about peace, love and understanding to unite the human family, foster respect for the interconnected web of life, and remind the tribes how liberating it was to dance the dances of freedom.

BloodThirsty Vegans' style of music can only be categorized as "FUN!" It is built upon a foundation of Hip Hop, is geared toward getting people up and moving, and is lyrically charged with a deep consciousness, but beyond that it kind of defies description.

Bloodthirsty Vegan visited the Flamingo Lounge on August 10, 2026 and shared the stories and music.
