13.07.10 Tuesday Night Diner - 'The Dave and Chef Mike!'


This seems to have been a banner few months for the Tuesday Night Diner—I've gotten to meet so many great musicians from right here in California—and debut their music right here on the show, even before it's released to the public.

Dave Stephens is a Los Angeles-based singer / songwriter / producer / multiinstrumentalist. That's a whole lot of slashes, isn't it? But he deserves all those slashes, because he has all those talents!


Originally from British Columbia, Canada, he moved to L.A. several years ago to pursue his music career in the home of the American music industry. He released a couple of albums in the mid 2000's, and is currently working on his third, the forthcoming summer release “Time Will Tell”. He describes his sound as something like “Billy Joel fronting Queen”. I describe his sound as great pop music—mixing classic elements with his own style and take on things. Some softer sounds, and some power pop in the mix. His well-crafted songs deserve your attention, and Dave was nice enough to share three pre-releases with us this week. We had a nice chat, and we'll hear what inspires him.


If you happen to be in the Los Angeles area this Friday night, July 16th, you should try to catch his show at Trip in Santa Monica. This is the first time Dave's played live in a while, since he's been hard at work on this record. He'll have his full band with him too, so it won't just be the prototypical singer/songwriter sitting on the stool with an acoustic guitar. The man is prepared to rock the house, and to premiere the songs from his new album. Go there, say hi to The Dave, and tell him you heard him on Recharged Radio!


And just a quick program note—my show follows Rob One and the 20/20 Hip Hop show. Rob is on at 7:00 p.m. (GMT), then me at 8:00.

If you'd like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you'd like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you'd like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com.


This note also appears in the News section on the home page of RechargedRadio.com.


See you then!
