Read excerpt
On this weeks episode of the Musicians Mentor podcast I speak with American Rock multi instrumentalist - Tod Howarth.

Episode 107 - Joshua Thompson (Wang Chung, Cutting Crew) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this weeks episode of the Musicians Mentor podcast I speak with Wang Chung drummer (and multi instrumentalist) - Joshua Thompson. Josh and I met a few months ago at a gig that both of our bands were on. I was instantly drawn to his power as a drummer and before you knew it we got talking. Turned out that he was/is not only a super talented musician, but also one of the coolest dudes you'd ever cross paths with. A life long musician, Josh grew up picking up music in the churches his family was

It's an excellent read, which I hi
Episode 104 - Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck, Full Steam) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today on the Musicians Mentor podcast I speak with a true guitar hero, and woman who (in my opinion) probably inspired more girls to pick up the guitar than anyone had before her. The one and only - Jennifer Batten. Many of you will know of Jennifer because of her years of work with the biggest pop star to ever do it - Michael Jackson but in addition to her with with MJ, she also toured and recorded with the legendary Jeff Beck from 1999 to 2001. Jennifer and I talk about how she was the first w
