As work on new material continues we take advantage of our newly vaccinated status to socialize and celebrate the nuptials of a close friend and collaborator. One wonders if maybe Joie had a little too much fun. Perhaps it’s a sign that life may be starting to return to “normal” (whatever that is). We’re also pleased to present our conversation with a woman whose positivity and passion shines through in all her creative endeavors. Brie Darling is a drummer, singer, songwriter, visual artist and ...

Back by popular demand (and we don’t use the word demand lightly-you know who you are) we’ve returned from hiatus to bring you another season of fascinating guests and a look at how we’re navigating current conditions, as we continue on our mission to keep rock ‘n roll alive. As the pandemic drags on, we ride the roller coaster of emotions and discuss plans for our next writing/recording sessions...if we can just book some studio time. Meanwhile, we’re pleased to share our conversation with a gu...

As we come to the end of a truly unforgettable year, we take time to appreciate all that we have accomplished despite the tremendous obstacles we all have faced. 2020 will always be the Year of the Pandemic but the band managed to release 8 new songs, play live in person and via livestream, talk to some fascinating people and above all else, stay connected to our incredible fans, the 7Horse Nation. Join us for our look back on the highlights of the year and a look forward to what 7H will be up t...

After a brief respite to recover from the epic 7Horse Halloween Rock-A-Thon we reconnect as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday. Where do we go from here? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, we’re pleased to share our conversation with a talented actor/musician and longtime friend, who emerged from the same Northern California enclave that produced several artists who have made a mark on popular culture. Lance Guest has had a fascinating career that took him from school plays in Saratoga, Ca. to a...

As anticipation mounts for the big event (no, not the election, The 1st Annual 7Horse Halloween Rock-A-Thon on October 31st) we get the unique opportunity to speak with a musician who’s work has deeply inspired us-even though we didn’t really know who he was until just before our interview. Guitarist Bob Margolin is a master of the blues in all its forms. Growing up in Boston in the 1950’s he was inspired by early rockers like Chuck Berry and Dion. When he discovered the Chicago Blues he would n...

With the air finally clearing and becoming a bit more breathable in Seattle and LA, we are thrilled to get the chance to interview a true legend, former Runaways lead singer, actress and chainsaw artist, Cherie Currie. From her earliest influences (David Bowie and Suzi Quatro) to her complicated relationships with band mates Joan Jett, Lita Ford and the late Sandy West along with Runaways manager Kim Fowley (whom she cared for in his final days) Cherie pulls no punches and shoots from the hip. W...

Fresh off our first livestream show and on the eve of our next recording session we find ourselves feeling as close to “normal” as we have in months. You can almost forget that you’re living through a pandemic...almost. Sometimes though things just line up for you if you have a strong enough intention and this is one of those times. In this episode we get the rare opportunity to put our former label boss in the hot seat. Miles Copeland was born to two intelligence officers in London and grew up ...

After months in lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic...we’re getting the band back together. Joie takes a calculated risk and travels to LA for writing, recording, live-streaming and podcasting. In this episode we’re pleased to feature an interview with a man who knows a thing or two about putting bands together as he’s been a conduit for players looking for gigs for over half a century. Sterling Howard opened the Musicians Contact Service in a $75/month office above the Whisky a Go Go in 1969....

We’re back with part two of our conversation with Queen’s former head of security and our former manager, Wally Versen. We relive the highs and the lows of our time together in dada and the future of the touring business in the wake of COVID-19. But first, Joie and Phil discuss the fuel on which 7Horse runs.

This week we have the distinct pleasure of spending some time with a man who plays a pivotal role in our history going back 30 years and has a fascinating story of his own. Hailing from Chicago’s northern suburb, Skokie, Ill. Walter Versen walked off the football field at Northwestern University and onto the crew of one of the biggest bands on the planet, the legendary Queen in 1980. He made his bones as Head of Security for iconic frontman Freddie Mercury and the boys, which set him on the path...

Continuing from lockdown over the Memorial Day weekend we have the great pleasure of spending some time with the multitalented voice actor, impressionist, comedian and good friend, Quinton Flynn. Best known for his iconic video game characters Raiden (Metal Gear series), Axel (Kingdom Hearts) and Reno (Final Fantasy VII). Q also narrated 3 seasons of the ID Network’s “I’d Kill for You” as well as performing as the voice of Frank Sinatra on the Netflix series “Mindhunter”...and he makes us laugh ...

Thankfully healthy and keeping our mental game tight, we present another episode produced under lockdown conditions. This week we’re thrilled to catch up with a member of our touring band, keyboard player and backing vocalist, Darice Bailey. She’s known as “The Thunderbolt of the Midwest” and hails from the booming metropolis that is Oblong, Illinois. We’ve had a great time playing and traveling together and although we currently can’t jam, it was great to chat about her life and career as a fem...

Weeks into stay at home orders during the Coronavirus Global Pandemic we attempt (with some success) to record the podcast while broadcasting live (from L.A. and Seattle) on Facebook via Zoom. No guest this week (other than a cameo from Cookie) so we delve into our back story and get a little warm and fuzzy about our almost 30 year partnership. We find it’s helpful during these difficult times to be thankful for what we’ve got, namely, each other.

With circumstances changing by the hour due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, we were able to spend some time with another of our talented collaborators, the great mixer, producer and 4 time Grammy winner, Dave Way. We discussed his early years in New York, sessions with legends like Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr and Michael Jackson as well as our work together on the entire 7Horse catalogue.

We’re super excited to bring you the debut episode of our new podcast. We’re just about to head into the studio to finish 4 new songs but before we do we discuss the creative buzz, how not to get a great idea and working with our guest, the multitalented Brian Whelan.
