During the length of the show, we talk about the writing process, publishing, the Gilmore Girls, Chicago culture, parenting, baseball (Kevin worked for both the Astros and Pirates), and the late Wesley Willis (Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!). If that's not enough enticement, listen to find out what Kevin calls "the most self indulgent, narcissistic, place on earth" (hint: you've probably been there). I loved talking with him--hope you enjoy listening!

Martin's a fascinating, smart, man and his Tour:Smart book is required reading for any artist serious about sustaining a career as a musician.  If Martin's wisdom about the music industry doesn't interest you, listen this week for his stories about working with John Lydon in Public Image, Ltd. and playing with Killing Joke!

Debuting at the front end of the 1990s with a well-received major label release (620 W. Surf), his songcraft has only improved in the years and decades that have followed. Most recently, McDermott successfully crowdfunded his next release through Kickstarter, with plans to release the project this summer. Over 30K was raised by 142 people who wanted to see the album come to life. Michael McDermott may not be a household name, but damn it all if his fans aren't believers. I never got the chance to interview Michael during my radio days, and I wanted to make up for lost time by having him on the podcast. For those unfamiliar with his music, this album remains a favorite of mine. You may also like "Unemployed," which is referenced during the interview. That song couldn't be more timely, despite it being ten years old. Please give this episode a listen, then take some time to discover (or get reintroduced) to a true Chicago treasure.
