with Tom Chalmers

SPECIAL NOTE: Tom and I recorded this in Asheville, NC (Weaverville, to be specific) in 2023. I joke with Tom that he is the unofficial Mayor of Asheville. He's been doing story and comedy shows there as well as acting for the last 15 years, and elsewhere sort of forever. On Sept 27, Tropical Storm Helene devastated the area. Today, I wanted to give a shout out to Tom and to Asheville, my home for the last year and a half. Today's episodes (part 1 and 2 are both up) are dedicated to the peeps of Western NC. And to those who simple cannot not drive 55. I love this episode and Tom's pretty incredible story. ps, you can find him doing his long-time running shows (many venues are on temporary or permanent hiatus right now, so check back if you do not see current show dates), listed below. Lastly, please consider donating to BeLoved Asheville! The town and affected areas nearby still needs all the help you have to give! <a href="https://www.belovedasheville.com/donate/#DonateNow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.belovedasheville.com/donate/#DonateNow</a> Bio &amp; Show info for Episode: Join writer and performer Tom Chalmers and producer of every band ever Tamara Federici as they discuss Van Halen.

EBE Encore: Van Halen, Part 2

and i'm finally ready to talk about it

Not many people know about my secret life, but I’ve had a hand in almost every major song or album ever made, and I’m finally ready to talk about it. I did a lot of things. I wore a lot of hats. I shaped entire albums, orchestrated the rehearsal process. I ghostwrote, arranged, and created the totality of music into being.&nbsp;Sometimes, I even picked out the rock star pants. It’s like Between two Ferns but for music.

I Produced Every Band Ever
