Episode #8
This week we're joined by Jay and Travis of the Houston-area punk rock band: Guttercunt. You may also recognize Travis and Jay from their old band and Alt. Country/Punk Rock stalwart: Bayou City Kids. We talk music, how folks come see the band solely off of their name alone, there's discussions of production, more side projects and so much more. We hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as we had recording it!
Episode #4
This week we are excited to welcome back one of our favorite north of border musicians, Sean Burns. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sean fronts his band Sean Burns and Lost Country, hosts his podcast The Northern Report, hosts the radio show/podcast Boots & Saddles on CKUW 95.9 FM and also holds down bass, harmonica and harmony vocal duties for Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans! Sean is about to release his second solo album and the first with all original songs: Better Off In Time & Other Songs for the Dance Floor. It's a great record and comes out on September 18th. We enjoyed getting the opportunity to catch up with Sean and appreciate him getting us off our butts when it comes to releasing new episodes of Music in the Minor League!

Episode #1
Welcome to Episode 78 of Music in the Minor League. As you can see, we've been a little slow on recording new episodes this season. We've been busy with full band practices, life obligations and tour planning. We hope to be back to a more regular schedule later in the summer. But, enough about us, let's talk about this episode's guest: Michael Isaak. Michael is a rising Egyptian-American musician who is set to release his debut album, The Carpet Maker on May 15th. This album is an exploration of his diasporic identity, bringing together his Egyptian heritage and American upbringing through his unique "Arabesque Folk" sound. This marks a new artistic phase for the New York-based musician as he reconnects with his cultural roots. Now, make sure you go follow Michael on your preferred streaming service so you can listen to The Carpet Maker when it is released on May 15, 2026.
Music In The Minor League
Welcome to Episode 77 of Music in the Minor League. This episode, we had a conversation with Emily Pennington and Oliver Franklin, who make up the creative centers of Trouble's Braids. Trouble’s Braids is a four-piece band from Boulder, Colorado that creates dynamic folk rock with teeth. Trouble’s Braids combines poignant lyricism, rich female and male harmonies, and great hooks with an unflinching curiosity about the dark and hidden corners of the human experience, all with a wink and a nod that invites the audience to come play. We had a blast getting to know them and think you'll really dig their music. Be sure to follow them where you can, maybe pick up a copy of their EP via Bandcamp and share the episode to help get the word out! See y'all soon!
Episode #1
Season four of Music in the Minor League is here! For our episode of the season, we caught up with Masaya Tamegai of The Houston Collective. The Houston Collective is an umbrella for Long River Sessions, KPFT Sessions, The Cultivated Beat and a collection of local podcasts, including this one. Masaya is putting the final touches on his website https://www.thehoustoncollective.com which contains a web TV station, a web radio station and will eventually host band profiles and more for Houston area bands. You can find links to everyone who has appeared on the shows and watch/listen to their performances. It's really a huge asset to the Houston music scene. We hope you'll check it out and take some time to listen in to the interview where we discuss The Houston Collective, challenges facing bands these day and what Masaya's future goals are with the website and his programming.
