Oliver Wood is the lead singer and one of the founding members of Grammy nominated  trio The Wood Brothers which he co-founded with his brother Chris and Jano Rix in 2006. His latest solo record Fat Cat Silhouette comes out on June 14, 2024. 

For this collection of songs he enlisted Rix on production duty and percussion along with great friend of The Marinade Seth Walker, the incomparable Katie Pruitt, and several other esteemed collaborators. Y’all, I have been a fan of Oliver’s music since damn near the inception of The Wood Brothers and I am thrilled to bring y’all this conversation. This is the third time I have had the pleasure of chatting with Oliver on record. He is always thoughtful and I always learn something.

Kyle Keller | The Marinade Episode 165

Kyle Keller is a singer and songwriter who currently makes his home in Gainesville, FL (Go Gators!). Kyle’s sophomore record The Great American Highway was released in the summer of 2023 and it’s a delight that gives and gives. So is the man himself as you will hear in this episode.

I have known Kyle for several years. He and my dear friend Jordan Foley are very close and the three of us sat having tea and talking about life here in my beloved Milk District in Orlando then walked over to the porch of Barley and Vine Biergarten to record. It was a gorgeous April day that was a long time coming.

Jaimee Harris | The Marinade Episode 157

Jaimee Harris is a singer and songwriter from Waco, Texas, who is one of my new favorite artists. Her debut full length record Red Rescue was released in 2018 to well deserved high praise. For whatever reason, that album snuck by my ears, but her follow up Boomerang Town, which came out last year got its hooks in me on the first listen.

As fate would have it, Jaimee was on tour with the legendary Mary Gauthier at that very moment and the tour was stopping just down the road.
Thankfully, Jaimee agree to sit down with us at Gram Parson’s Derry Down in Winter Haven, FL, earlier this month for a delightful conversation about writing, teaching, her incredible new record Boomerang Town, and of course, pinball.
