Jerry Cortez - It’s all about the Funk.

A long overdue interview I did with Jerry Cortez of Tower of Power the end of last year. After some technical difficulties on my part, I was finally able to complete the interview and load it up for you guys to enjoy. This is by far one of the most fun interviews I’ve done for this podcast show. This is a long one but I thought it will be great leaving it as a complete interview rather than splitting it. We’ve talked about everything, life, dogs, cats, food, and yes, music and guitar. I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did. I am looking forward bringing Jerry on again soon talking about his new album, the Tower of Power album and tour, and much more. You should get his latest Christmas album. More info will be found on the links below.

About the Podcast

It’s all about the Tone!
Have you ever wondered how the pros do it, and what defines their signature sound? Get ready for great information, cool stories, interviews, music, and more.
In this podcast, we will discuss Tone, how to achieve the tone of your dreams, and what the pros are doing to get the signature sounds that we all love and admire. We will talk music as well as explore the relationship between your instrument and the rest of your equipment, such as guitars, amps, pedals, and more. So be ready for some great stories, lots of information, and cool interviews.

We will explore music in general, artists/bands, and their music. In each episode I will introduce my favorite new artist of the week. This will also be an excellent platform for unsigned artists to showcase their original music without the blocks, headaches, and walls imposed by radio stations and labels. If I like it, I’ll play it, no questions asked. I am all for the music and helping as much as I can.

So sit down, relax, and get ready for fun listening.
