The Don has been conducting quality interviews with musicians since 2008. Dean Baldwin hosts shows on Sirius XM's "Classic Rewind, Classic Vinyl, and Deep Tracks" as well as a host on StrykTV. The team is frequently joined by The Grizz and Stormy Deal in these conversations with artists.
Oh, good heavens, what a delightful clash of cultures we have here! "The Ripman and Her" – a veritable symphony of sonic sparring between the urbane, discerning Mancunian palate of yours truly, and the… shall we say, more robust, more earthily grounded musical selections of our dear friend from that charmingly quaint corner of Lancashire, Burnley.
Five songs each, a musical gauntlet thrown down! I, of course, with the refined sensibilities of a true Manc, shall undoubtedly emerge victorious. After all, one cannot dispute the impeccable taste of a city that birthed the legendary musical talents of Bez.

This is the FM 2.0 Music News/Concert Review with me, Amy Lynn. Let's get into it. I got the pleasure to see a band in which I grew up with. I've been singing their songs my whole entire life. Formed in 1975, this duo met while performing in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Graham Russell heard Russell Hitchcock's tenor voice, and the rest was fate. You guessed it. I'm talking about air supply, and I got to see them live. Now, I arrived a little late due to living some hours away and traffic, and GPS did me real dirty.
