JEMFESTradio EPISODE #1 (GABE NICKELSON)

[Ricky Garcia]

Hi guys,

I just recorded the first JEMFESTradio show this last sunday and my first guest was GABE NICKELSON, who is the president and main organizer of Jemfest. We talked about all aspects of the event and also played some songs of Rob Balducci and Rusty Cooley, who both played at the fest.

I hope you are not to strict with my english since thats the first time I have done something like this and I noticed that it gets worse since I am out of the USA for a year now.. I hope I will light up a bit more during the next shows.

Anyways I would like to thank BOB OAKMAN for the incredible liners he provided for the show and it sounds strange to have me as an amateur combined with such high profile and pro work from this guy... but I could not refuse the great offer so here we go:

Rob Balducci is next on my list and also Rusty.
I will play more music from other artists as well as soon as I get permission from them.

Thanks and let me know what you think!!

A couple of things I noticed missing from what you and Gabe said
You forgot to mention Jemfest UK is happening on October 11th when talking about Jemfests overseas at about 10 mins
and that Rob is playing in the UK October 11th too (at 11.30) and maybe some more dates after that in the UK.

At about 28 mins Gabe forgot to mention that Jemfest UK also raises money for a UK charity NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) which stops child abuse in the UK.

Good chat though, interesting to listen to

62 mins: although you mentioned Jemfest UK is on October 11th, arent there going to be 'awesome players' at Jemfest UK as well as Jemfest Germany?

Interview style wise I think if I were you I would try to stop saying 'yeah' in the middle of Gabe's replies or interupting his answers.

Good job though-look forward to the next ones

Cheers

Simon
