Brian Collins, Elaine Palmer, Roger Chapman & Gordon Haskell

Interviews from 17th November include Brian Collins live in the studio, Elaine Palmer live in the studio, Roger Chapman, along with Gordon Haskell.

Hailing from the music hotbed of West Georgia, Brian Collins radiates a true southern soul. Humbled by his modest upbringing as the son of two truck-driving parents, Brian exudes passion and love in every corner of his career. Over the course of his career, Brian has worn many hats in the industry. Not only is he a top notch singer/songwriter and artist, but Brian has also been praised for his talents as a producer, engineer and graphic designer. Take a cross between Eli Young Band, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, and Marc Broussard—and you have a sound unlike any other—you have something unique. And uniqueness describes Brian in every sense of the word. His honest lyrics capture the heart of every listener while the soulful quality of his voice gives meaningful expression to songs that bend the lines between Country and soul.

Elaine Palmer hails from a sleepy village on the North Yorkshire Moors, a stones throw away from the idyllic fishing town of Whitby. Growing up Elaine was continually surrounded by music and at school she learnt the recorder and piano. Her talent was evident even at an early age and by her early teens the school orchestra were playing original Elaine Palmer compositions!  In 2008 there were some changes to Elaine’s material, picking up the pace a little and working with a new band. Now Drums, bass and electric guitar give a slightly more up beat larger sound to her new material. ‘The new songs are much more edgy and slightly more aggressive, heavily influenced by the open road and the unknown, looking forward not backwards this time.’

Roger Chapman is an English rock vocalist. He is best known as a member of the progressive rock band Family, which he joined along with Charlie Whitney, in 1966 and also the rock, R&B band Streetwalkers formed in 1974. His idiosyncratic brand of showmanship when performing and vocal vibrato led him to become a cult figure on the British rock scene. He has an Artist of the Year award and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.

Gordon Haskell is a Pop, Rock & Blues music vocalist, songwriter, and bassist. He first gained recognition as a member of the British band Les Fleur de Lys. He sang on one of the songs of King Crimson’s second album, then played bass and sang on their third album. After departing from King Crimson, he continued his musical career as a solo musician & gained international recognition in 2001 with his hit song How Wonderful You Are.
