Through the late 70's and into the 80's brought us some of the best rhythmic dance music ever recorded.  Music that is now termed "Old School" is played on greatest hits stations everywhere.  Where are the people responsible for the song?  We'll find out, on The Old School Rewind.

We are a new show called “Queen of the Come Up” with your host Queen Earth. Bringing you the hottest music, news and information from the hottest artists.

Music Makers and Soul Shakers is a weekly podcast featuring long-form interviews with musicians, producers and music business people that focuses on their career, their creative process and the art of recording. It features leading artists from the Americana world, which includes folk, rock, blues, jazz, and indie music. The listenership is very dedicated and eager, regularly contributing and commenting, as well as bringing new subjects to the table. The podcast fills a niche in that there are many music podcasts, but none that feature such in-depth interviews, and the listeners can expect to hear artists and musicians speaking about the kind of music they enjoy. The artists featured are very supportive and every week, their audiences are exposed to the podcast, so while it is relatively new, it grows each week. I am a full-time musician and producer, which gives me an interesting perspective, and access to artists that many would not have. I am able to relate to the guests in many ways and they tend to open up in a way they do not in a regular interview. This makes for captivating conversations, and most listeners listen tot he entire show, which is usually well over an hour. I am a Juno Award winning producer and artist and receive publicity for my career regularly that also highlights the podcast. The popular website Popmatters.com just called my podcast one of the top 2 podcasts about this kind of music, and had this to say: "Dawson's ability to create an environment where the stories flow freely and openly is noteworthy. Budding podcasters would be wise to take note of the techniques both he employs in his work and consider building a landscape of smarter, better ‘casts that deepen our knowledge rather than serve as platforms for our more prurient interests. This show serves a critical role in the chronicling and advancement of Americana and roots music."
