Interview

Two-thirds of John the Gun sit down for a chat about life, death and being a sea captain. By Patrick O’Heffernan

February 23, 2016

  Tucked away in the northern New Jersey music scene with an occasional foray into venues in New York City, the alt rock trio John the Gun weaves highly sophisticated arrangements and metaphorical lyrics into soul-satisfying hard rock.  They have released about a dozen tracks, 10 of them collected into an album called Tread Eternal and they are now gearing up to make some national noise with appearances and social media.  We recently caught up with two-thirds of the band  – guitarist and vocalist John Cusaman and bass player Dan Jernick who also does backup vocals – for a conversation about life, death and being a sea captain.   Patrick. Where did the name come from and what is the evolution story of the band?   John. John the Gun started out as an old twitter handle of mine taken from the Sandy Denny song and a minor character in the movie “Snatch” – we are all big movie buffs.  The band started as a solo project under my name. I recorded an album by [Read More]

A red hot Maggie Szabo releases “Forgive and Forget” and road tests a new album. By Patrick O’Heffernan

February 23, 2016

  (Hollywood). I love going to release parties, especially parties to celebrate the release of a new single or a video because you know you are going to get more than just the release.  “More” is exactly what Maggie Szabo delivered Friday night at The Loft on the 12th floor of the W Hollywood Hotel.  Billed as a BalconyTV party to celebrate the release of her new single and video, “Forgive and Forget”, she gave us a set list of new, never- heard-before songs. Why new songs?  Because she was road testing them – that’s how Maggie operates: she is patient, she road tests her music with her fans and she gets it right. She got “Forgive and Forget” right.  I first heard her perform it in a road test gig at the Hotel Café almost a year ago, I realized that she had moved to a whole new level, as I said in my review .  But the performance Friday night was also a new level for the Canadian-born LA-transplant soul pop singer, even [Read More]
