In The Round

EP50: MJT "Long Island Long Haul"

We are excited to introduce you to our next guest, MJT! Hailing from Long Island, NY, we were fortunate to catch this trio of brothers David, Matt, & Jordan in the middle of tour, and they talked with us about their early start in music, how their jazz roots turned into the unique genre-defying sound they have today, overcoming challenges, and how they’ve propelled themselves into bigger opportunities. They ripped an absolutely stellar live rendition of their song “Here We Go” which you can get a taste of at the end, then head to our YouTube channel next week on Thurs 4/2 for the full performance.

The rumors are true…we have The Rumours in the house! AKA the Goilz, Carli & Ela, and their drummer Clint. We caught this kickass trio right as they were heading out on tour, and we dive in talking about how the goilz first met and started the band, how many of their songs were inspired by a few crazy stories (and crazy PEOPLE), how their tattoo talents cross over to their music lives, and about future plans for tour and rock & roll domination. Hang on at the end to catch a snip of their live dual performance of “San Francisco Coffee Shop Freakout” and “Bloodstains”, and keep an eye out on our YouTube channel next Thurs 3/19 for the full performance!

Alright jaywalkers, put your hands up for TV Cop!

EP46: Patresa Hartman "As Long As They're Not Chickens"

Introducing our next guest, the lovely & talented Patresa Hartman! Fresh off an album release in 2025, we brought her in to Trilix Studio to talk about the new record, “Wolf In A Lady Suit”, along with her previous work, her not-so-secret aversion to performing live, how Substack has become another outlet for expression, and about the wild collection of animals that have appeared in her life (including some that make her nervous, hilariously). Catch a snip of her song “Wolf” at the end and stay tuned next week for the full performance out 2/5/26. Meet Patresa!

EP45: Edwin McCain "Right Place, Right Time"

Next on In The Round is Edwin McCain, the talented South Carolinan singer-songwriter known for his late 90s hits “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not ask For More” – and more recently, his goofy TikTok videos. Edwin is still a touring machine, playing both his own gigs and opening for pals like Hootie & The Blowfish and Train, and he also released a new album in 2025 called “Lucky”. Edwin stopped by Trilix Studio to tell us some hilarious stories about his rise to fame, how it almost didn’t happen, and fill us in on life as it is now, including his dirt excavating side hustle. And you know he played “I’ll Be” for us! Catch a snip at the end and next week head to our YouTube channel to see the full performance out Thurs 1/22.

EP44: Katie and The Honky Tonks "Do The Poor Man's Two-Step"

It’s time to boogie with Katie and The Honky Tonks! This friendly crew of two-steppers are fresh off a win for Country Artist of the Year from the Iowa Music Awards and a new album released in 2025, so we had a lot to gab about. We get into how they came to be in this boot-scootin’ genre and are bringing back the punk energy, how they stay scrappy as a self-managed band, and how they’re riding the momentum from this year into 2026. Remember to stick around at the end to hear a clip of their live performance and watch for the full video out on YouTube Thurs 1/8. Giddddyyyup – here’s Katie & The Honky Tonks!

EP43: Goldpine "Better Together"

Meet the traveling troubadour husband & wife duo, Goldpine. These two are based in Nashville but primarily live on the road touring in their converted van and gathering fans of their country-flavored Americana tunes along the way. We talk about how they combined forces both in life and music, the unique way they integrate recordings from live shows into their albums, how they’ve built community in unlikely places, and finding identity outside of performing. Hang on at the end to hear a clip of their song “Understand” and tune in next week for the full performance out on Christmas Day on our YouTube channel.

EP42: Carbon Leaf "I Want To Be Leaf"

Life got a little less ordinary with our next guest, Carbon Leaf! You may know them from their 2004 hit album but this band has been writing and touring consistently for over 30 years. We caught them on their “I Want To Be Leaf” tour, so of course we talk about The X-Files; we also hear about the chance opportunity that launched them into mainstream recognition and how being independent has allowed them to maintain a fanbase on their own terms. At the end, enjoy a clip of their song “California Gold” off their 2024 release “Time Is The Playground” and visit our YouTube channel next week on Thurs 12/11 to see the full performance.

EP41: Ben Mulwana "As Good As It Gets"

Thanksgiving time has us feeling extra grateful for our next guest, Ben Mulwana! Born & raised in Uganda and now residing in Wisconsin, Ben made a special trip to come talk to us about his journey to the U.S., how he turned music into a passion & career, and his thoughts on traditions from his former and current homelands. He played a new song for us called “Low On Luck” that’s a beautifully vulnerable and true account of his path to love (head to our YouTube channel on Thurs 11/27 to watch the full live performance!). Enjoy our chat with Ben Mulwana.
