“I think the thing about being a musician is, to make music and to write music you have to put yourself in a really vulnerable place. It’s hard to put your music out there.”
– Eric Krasno
Osiris Podcasts debuts the first episode of a new, multidimensional podcast series, Past, Present, Future, Live!. In this first episode, host RJ Bee welcomes Grammy-winning musician and producer Eric Krasno. Krasno tells Bee about his first musical memories, how Led Zeppelin was a gateway to discovering funk music, and the real meaning behind the name Lettuce, the band he formed while at Berklee College of Music. They discuss his transition into producing, the resurgence of The Grateful Dead, and the importance of mental health support for musicians.
The show closes with three live tracks from Krasno: “Unconditional Love”, “Ramble On Rose”, and “Carry My Name”. You can hear these tracks, as well as other songs mentioned in the episode, on the Past, Present, Future, Live! Spotify playlist. Bonus video content will also be available on the Osiris website and Osiris YouTube channel.
For nearly two decades, Eric Krasno has been an omnipresent figure in popular music. We’ve heard his virtuosic, innovative guitar playing with Soulive and Lettuce, seen him onstage supporting the likes of the Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer and The Roots, watched him take home multiple GRAMMY Awards, and benefited from his deft, behind-the-scenes work as a producer and songwriter for everyone from Norah Jones, Tedeschi Trucks, and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli, Aaron Neville, and Allen Stone.

DANI MARKHAM DISCUSSES HER MUSICAL JOURNEY ON
NEW PODCAST SERIES
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE, LIVE!
FEATURES INTERVIEW, LIVE PERFORMANCES
AND CURATED PLAYLIST
“When I strip a lot of the material things away from me and have just a limited amount of tools and options, that’s when I feel the most creative.”
– Dani Markham
Osiris Podcasts releases the sixth episode of a new, multidimensional podcast series, Past, Present, Future, Live! featuring Dani Markham. A born beatmaker, Dani has channeled her lifelong passion for rhythm into musical stylings from across the world.
In 2014 Dani toured with the indie pop sensation tUnE-yArDs, forging a unique musical bond with their leader Merrill Garbus. In 2016 Dani joined Childish Gambino, the Grammy-winning stage name of superstar Donald Glover, to incorporate her sound into their eclectic rhythm section. Between world tours, Dani found time to compose an hour-long drum score for a live dance performance called “It’s Time”, with choreographer Jenn Freeman. This unique concept and composition is just another step in Dani’s ongoing experiments with rhythm and sound.
Keeping with that experimental theme, after the interview you’ll hear Dani perform three new songs that she wrote during the COVID lockdown with violinist Sarah Neufeld, best known as a member of Arcade Fire. You can see videos of these and all other Past, Present, Future, Live! performances on the Osiris Media YouTube Channel.
You’ll find music from all the artists mentioned in this interview on our Past, Present, Future, Live! Spotify playlist.

Savior discusses her path from a 17-year-old who posted a cover song on Youtube to an 18-year-old who was signed to Columbia Records. She tells her story of moving to LA and thrusting herself into the music business. After co-writing her 2017 debut album, Belladonna of Sadness, with Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys, Savior took full creative control on her latest album, The Archer, which was released on Danger Mouse’s label, 30th Century Records. The result is a truly personal statement that feels like the starting point for everything that will follow.
After the interview, Savior performs three songs from her latest record, The Archer: “Crying All The Time,” “Soft Currents” and “But You.” These videos and all other Past, Present, Future, Live! performances can be found on the Osiris Media YouTube Channel.

PRE-SAVE BLESS YOUR HEART
Osiris Podcasts release their seventh episode of a new, multidimensional podcast series — Past, Present, Future, Live! — featuring Devon Allman and Duane Betts of The Allman Betts Band. In this episode, interviewer RJ Bee speaks with Allman and Betts about their new record Bless Your Heart (out August 28), their distinctive musical chemistry and their family histories.
After meeting as teenagers on The Allman Brothers Band 20th Anniversary tour, Devon and Duane went on to separately play in a range of bands spanning blues, roots, metal, and folk for almost 20 years. They reunited in 2017 and toured on a shared bill, which quickly evolved into writing songs together and the birth of a new group, The Allman Betts Band. Their sound, both live and on record, tips their proverbial hat to the past, and then dives headfirst into a unique and powerful exploration of roots-rock music.
After the interview, Duane plays “Shinin’” from their debut album Down To The River, and Devon performs “Norwegian Wood” by The Beatles. Devon and Duane both share a performance of “Magnolia Road” from their forthcoming album Bless Your Heart (August 28). These videos and all other Past, Present, Future, Live! performances can be found on the Osiris Media YouTube Channel. Music from all the artists mentioned in this interview can be streamed on the Past, Present, Future, Live! Spotify playlist.
