The Camille Conte Show #637 1-8-2021
We begin the show with a celebration of David Bowie's 74th Birthday and some of his most enduring songs including a just released cover of John Lennon's "Mother" that Bowie did in 1998 as part of a Lennon tribute album that never materialized! It's incredible. Music from Tracey Chapman lays out the way out of this chaos and confusion and we shine The New Music Spotlights on seventeen year old, Allentown, NJ singer/songwriter, Grace Kerlin and her debut album, Trying to Find. Plus news about the 9th Annual DREAMRAISER coming up next week with new merchandise, t-shirts and more!

The Camille Conte Show #636 - 2021 Happy New Year Show
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life and I feel free. The first show of 2021 is all about feelin' good, raisin' the vibration, giving ourselves permission to feel better, to feel a bit lighter. Today we line up the songs that get us up on our feet, move to the groove, cause us to sing and shout and remember that it's okay, especially on New Year's Day, to turn it up. Nina Simone, Michael Franti, Ziggy Marley and many more!
The 9th Annual DREAMRAISER starts January 15th with some great gifts and new merchandise!
Thank you so much for all your love and support in 2020. Wishing you and your family peace, health and the music the lights you up.
So much love, Camille

The 2020 Holiday Show - The Ghost of Christmas Past
This year's Holiday Show is filled with goodness from The Ghost of Christmas Past with songs from Tom Petty, Darlene Love, Bruce Springsten, The Kinks, a gorgeous rendition of O Holy Night by Patti Smith and songs from Alaska that will warm your heart. Because I have lived in Alaska for so long, Santa and I are pretty tight so the show starts with a situation that, until now, nobody knew about! And as I hold my tender heart which is filled with a deep longing for my beloved mother, I share with you her Christmas message from a few years ago and of course, The Joke of the Week. Take care of your own heart this season and if you're needing more CC, check out the archives at Podbean for more Ghosts of Christmas Past. Peace be with you. Much love, Camille

Twenty year old Salt Lake City native, Jack Rutter has a terrific new song inside The New Msuic Spotlight entitled, Put Your Records On that deals with, in part, his walk away from the Mormon life. That could explain his music name: Ritt Momney. In music news, Neil Young opens up his archives for the rest of this month for FREE as a gift to his fans, Bob Dylan sells his music catalog, over 600 songs, for an unofficial amount of nearly $300 million dollars and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band get masked up for their first performance on SNL this weekend since 2015 with a teaser that the band is also in the cast this weekend and Stevie wants to play Dr. Fauci. You can't make this up and we don't have to because it's 2020. The World's Greatest Joke Teller takes us home with The Joke of the Week. Enjoy.

The Camille Conte Show #631 12-4-2020
This week's show is a barn burner with music from Jethro Tull and the reasons why their music was called, "progressive rock." Fast forward to the current crisis that the music industry is in and Ian Anderson has been doing a lot to inform the British government about the plight of the arts and artists due to this pandemic with solutions to consider. Here's that letter he wrote. Forget Amazon and support the arts this holiday season! Plus The New Music Spotlight lights up the sky with Jade Bird and Peach Tree Rascals and we rock out Jersey style while wishing a happy birthday to Southside Johnny. But wait! There's more! Lots of cosmic unfoldings happening and there's a way we can align ourselves with the good vibrations coming our way. The show's question this week is, "how do you feel?!" Enjoy.

Anybody else feel like running? This week's music captures the pent up feelings we have these days when all we want to do is run like hell, somewhere, anywhere. We also do a reality check on where we are at with five weeks left in this WTF year and why it's so important to adjust to the marathon we're in. Thank you to new patron, Loren Dixon for sponsoring The New Music Spotlight this week with two absolutely fantastic artists: Wyn Starks and Saint Nomad. You will love their music. Plus news from NY's first restaurant to do rapid tests on site for $50 in order to eat in an established "negative" environment.

Celebrating 40 years behind the mic this month with my first interview and another new patron! Thank you Lila Vogt for sponsoring this week's The New Music Spotlight and talk about what's good and new. Two new artists, both in their early twenties, both exceptional songwriters and singers achieving a emotional depth that often comes with many more years of honing one's craft but not for these two. First, it's Cobi and his tremendous new song, Faith in Tomorrow. POWERFUL. Next up Briston Maroney who at 22 years of age is already amassing a huge fan base and you know why with his new song, Deep Sea Diver. Plus, Happy 75th Birthday to Neil Young, The Joke of the Week goes there and we take some time to digest what's happening in our country and how and why denial works, something I know alittle bit about. Yep, a November to remember! Enjoy.

Mr. Moonlight is shining bright this weekend with the second full moon of the month, known as a blue moon. The phrase, "once in a blue moon" comes from the rare ocassion of having two full moons in one month but that's what makes it Rocktober! It's the first full moon to fall on Halloween in 76 years!! Sounds like 2020 to me. With it, though, comes a big dose of emotions and we let the music do the soothing.
Another listeners says yes to becoming a Patron with a monthly membership! Thank you Cindy Decker for sponsoring this week's The New Music Spotlight featuring the first music from Stevie Wonder in 15 years! He's also moved on from Motown Records after 60 years. Featuring Gary Clark Jr, Where is Our Love Song was started by Stevie when he was 18 years old. Such is the case with If I Was the Priest written by Bruce Springsteen when he was in his early 20's. Two legendary artists in their seventies bringing their songwriting full circle. Speaking of full circle, it's been seven years…

Roctober birthdays kick off the show this week as we wish a very Happy Birthday to Paul Simon, Bob Weir and Justin Hayward. Cake gives us yet another thing to think about when we're trying to fall asleep. The New Music Spotlight this week features a terrific band out of Cincinnati, Ohio calling themselves, The Heavy Hours and their new song, Don't Walk Away. It's fabulous. So is the new album from Bruce Springsteen, "Letter to You" and the new song I'm loving called, I'll See You In My Dreams. Time for the weekend. Turn it up! Enjoy.

This week Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen as well as Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood teach us the power of forgiveness and making amends before it's too late. We also honor Johnny Nash who died this week and Tom Petty who would have been 70 on October 20th. In fact, two previously unheard songs from Tom Petty's long anticipated re-issue of his Wildflowers album, "Wildflowers and All the Rest" kick off The New Music Spotlight that includes the powerful new song from Demi Lovato called, Commander in Chief. Cheers to our new listener in London who is helping the show grow in the UK, plus, a bit about this weekend's Women's March and why anger and outrage is the new lady-like.
To wrap it up, The World's Greatest Joke Teller with The Joke of the Week! Enjoy.

The Camille Conte Show #621 9-25-2020
This week's show sees the convergence of the physical death of the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the binge watching of "The Last Dance," the story of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and the release of the second new Bruce Springsteen song, Ghosts from the forthcoming new E Street Band album, "Letter to You." Turns out there is a common thread amongst these three pop icons which I reveal as I weave my way through each starting with the remarkable Justice Ginsburg. Better hold on to your rock n roll hat this week, batten down the hatches too because this ship is full speed ahead! Enjoy.

Suddenly, it's last summer. Wow. It's over already and we pay tribute to these last days of innocence as we get the show going. Personal transformation is the theme for this week's artist inside The New Music Spotlight with Nahko & Medicine for the People's new one, "Take Back Your Power," an 18 song manifesto addressing learning to love yourself. Elle King has her own thoughts on self-love and transformation in her new one, The Let Go and from Santa Monica, the lovely sounds of Cayucas and Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Plus, my tribute to radio colleague, Len Anderson and Toots Hibbert, bringing relief to those affected by the fires in Oregon and a much needed gut buster from my mom, The World's Greatest Joke Teller delivering without a doubt one of her best with The Joke of the Week. Yep. It's SHOWTIME!

Why on earth would it ever take me four hours to do my show when it only took Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band only FIVE days to record their new album? The 19th Anniversary of 9/11, wildfires, the mystical experience of grace and Springsteen's sage advice to the students of Boston College had everything to do with it. Plus the E Street Band's 20th studio album is coming out October 23rd and the new single and title track, "Letter to You" is featured inside The New Music Spotlight sponsored by Patron Jill Robinson! You just never know. Enjoy.
