We had a lot of fun speaking yesterday afternoon before their big outdoor show at Kaka`ako Waterfront Park in Honolulu, and the Point Panic Music Festival.
Here are some photos from the interview and a fun ID he did. Listen for a feature airing tomorrow on HPR and the whole interview getting published online.
She plays the Blaisdell Concert Hall July 23 and the MACC in Kahului, Maui July 24. On-sale now.
At my page on the HPR site, you can also see four videos, including a breathtaking performance of Like The Way I Do that’s over ten minutes and one of the best-captured live versions of that song… Also check out Melissa paying tribute to Janis Joplin solo acoustic, showcasing her skills in jaw-dropping fashion… See her live in action from just days ago ‘down under’ on her current tour, playing an acoustic version of Falling Up, a song from Fourth Street Feeling, her new album due in September.
I hope you dig this very special conversation with one of my favorite artists!
Click the photo to visit my page at HPR where you can hear the complete new interviews with Hall & Oates’ John Oates, Shawn Colvin, The Cult’s Billy Duffy, Fastball’s Miles Zuniga and The Alarm/Big Country’s Mike Peters.
Listen for the interview soon — I’ll post a link here in the blog when it’s up for you to hear. We covered everything from this record, to topics like concept albums, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, his passion for wine-making, the future of albums and touring as it relates to technology, and much more.
