Now that he’s our music blogger, you can look for some regular insight into the latest music, the best music of days past, and up-and-coming performers, plus more interviews and performances. I think you’ll find his attitude and outlook infections and his writing captivating. I do.

Here’s my interview with him. I also posted it on the page featuring his music.

Interview with Dan Rickabus.

Here’s a video from uke-rocker (?!) Dan Rickabus. His smooth-yet-gritty voice and his big, ukelele-glazed rock sensibilities are very easy on the ears.

If you like what you hear, here’s a track from his album (under the name Dan Rickabus and Friends), “The Audio Tree Sessions.” The song is called Something Static.

I also had the pleasure of an interview with Dan, who is from Michigan. We talked about his musical roots, listening to music, family and other things. An interview with Dan Rickabus.

The latest edition to our Dan Rickabus collection is his performance on Music In Our House in March 2010.

I interview artist Joe Vaux. Joe talks about the influence of his parents, who are both artists; the lasting impression made by his hilariously cruel uncle; and his own art, specifically this piece, Flood. He also answers some questions about the AVJ’s theme of the week: technology. Listen to the interview.

See Joe’s art at his online gallery: joevaux.com. Joe’s parents both have their art online: sandrabenny.com and richardvaux.com.
