Episode 19: Matthew Schwartz from Pacifico. Live at ” the Bird’s Nest”

Despite first impressions, Pacifico is not an ordinary band. At its most tangible, Pacifico exists in the world as an audible collage: a musical patchwork slowly pieced together by a revolving door of both established and roaming musicians, each adding a unique, artistic inch to the project at hand. But if you didn’t know any of that, you might label it as the surprisingly well rounded solo project of one musician: a guy named Matthew Schwartz. Pacifico was originally formed in 1999 and made notable marks in their career having their songs featured in movies (Wish For Christmas), on TV shows (Now What?, Sausage Factory), in video games (Rock Band Download), and on the radio. Additionally, their music video for “xMultiplyx” played on MTV and FUSE. However, after many years touring, recording demos, and playing showcases, the band parted ways. It was then that Matthew decided to take Pacifico into a less committed approach, which allowed him to work with artists he wouldn’t have previously been able to collaborate with. Pacifico, now with a new focus, started to record songs and release them independently. Matthew has since been finally able to self-release two full-length albums, Thin Skin And An Open Heart where he collaborated with Jason Martin (Starflyer 59), Steven Dial (Project 86), and Sam West (Stavesacre), and Without Heroes, collaborating with Jesse Sprinkle of Poor Old Lu. For his new album and third full-length, Everest, Matthew decided to collaborate with Ronnie Martin (Joy Electric) for his analog synth skills. He also collaborated with published poet Vincent Cellucci for the lyrics, and Trey Wadsworth (Adult Swim) on the artwork. Everest has taken 3 and a half years, 5 studios and 12 musicians to create. With a more complex song structure, emotionally poetic lyrics and a new musical territory. Everest was certainly a hard climb, but what you see at the top is an honest, earnest, beautiful, and fun account of life in the 21st century.

Episode 15: Lianne Hutcheson at the Oakhouse in Canton Ga

A woman inspired by the dreamy and textural qualities of Shoegaze and Psychedelic Rock. Now mash that up with the Blues, Country, R&B, Soul, and Gospel. Here you will find Atlanta-based musician, Lianne Hutcheson.
She has been carving out her ambient blues folk rock sound with shimmering and lonely guitar riffs combined with soaring and sometimes gritty jazz vocals. She crafts lyrics that will span topics from friendship, self-reflection, infertility, caregiving & death. She has even been known to the write the occasional love song. In 2018, Lianne and one of her musical collaborations, Chattahoochee Golden Child were acknowledged by NPR’s Tiny Desk contest and featured on their Tiny Desk Music Blog for their contest entry for her song, “Yeah Right”.
Material for Lianne’s music has never been hard to come by, she has a story like we all do. And after spending a good chunk of her life experiencing difficult and sometimes abusive relationships, being a caregiver to her father with early on-set dementia, losing her best friend to suicide and a plethora of other sad stories, Lianne always came back around to expressing and processing her life through her songs. After her Dad passed in 2010, she enrolled in a therapeutic music training course and started her own early childhood music education business and gently eased herself back into creating music and released a few singles in 2015 and 2016 including one children’s song.
Lianne can be found playing out every few weeks around Atlanta solo and with her friends in the rock band Chattahoochee Golden Child as the lead singer and rhythm guitar player. She also gets her chorus-nerd/girl-group on by singing harmonies and playing guitar with the Georgia Succulents comprised of local musicians Katie Martin and Jeannie Caryn. Currently working in the studio with local Atlanta producer/musician Christopher Turpin, Lianne is working to complete and release her solo EP by the end of Summer 2019.
