• JOSEPH

  On the newest episode of Fuegostine's Music Club, I (fuegostine) sit down with the band JOSEPH. We talk about their adjustment to being a sister duo instead of a trio, the evolution of their music, navigating the music industry and their upcoming album among other things. I hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Meegan and Natalie. About JOSEPH:For nearly a decade, Oregon-bred indie-pop trio Joseph have performed a certain emotional alchemy with their music, channeling their deepest inner tensions into songs that spark a life-changing shift in perspective. In the making of their fourth studio album The Sun, Natalie Closner and her sisters, twins Meegan Closner and Allison Closner focused their soul-searching songwriting on the quietly damaging forces that keep us from living fully in our truth (e.g., gaslighting, cultural conditioning, unconscious yet painfully limiting self-beliefs). Rooted in a newly emboldened sound that lets their breathtaking three-part harmonies shine more brightly than ever, the result is a body of work that radically expands our sense of possibility, ultimately illuminating a path toward greater peace and self-reliance even in the most chaotic of times.For Joseph, the act of fiercely protecting their artistic vision closely aligns with the abundance of insights threaded throughout The Sun. “As Closners and as women—or maybe even just as humans—it can be very hard to tell someone that something isn’t working for you,” says Allison. “But this album was a unique experience, because we learned to step up and stand our ground and speak our truth when we needed to.” And with the release of The Sun, Joseph hope that listeners might undergo a similar transformation in their sense of strength and self-assurance. “I want people to feel empowered,” says Meegan. ”I want them to recognize the power with themselves, and to know that they’re good—that they’re more than they think they are.”Follow Me On Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuegostine/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuegostine YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fuegostine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fuegostine

• Bryan Andrews

  On this episode of Fuegostine's Music Club, I (Matt) sit down with country singer Bryan Andrews and we talk about growing up in a small town, his turn to music from a blue collar job, and the country music and the state of the world. I hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Bryan.About Bryan: Bryan Andrews is a talented country/rock singer and songwriter hailing from the small town of Carrollton, Missouri. His journey into music began at the age of 17 when he picked up a guitar for the first time, driven by a desire to pen his own songs and make sense of the world around him. This early foray into music was a way for Bryan to navigate the complexities of adolescence and adulthood, setting him on a path of creative exploration.After graduating from high school, Bryan took a step towards formalizing his musical pursuits by enrolling in college with a focus on music. However, after two years of studying, he made the bold decision to leave academia behind and pursue a career in welding. His new job took him on the road, where he continued to nurture his passion for songwriting, often finding inspiration and solace in the solitude of hotel rooms.Despite the demanding nature of his work, Bryan’s love for music never waned. His dedication paid off when TikTok, the popular social media platform, played a pivotal role in bringing his musical aspirations to fruition. On Christmas Day in 2020, Bryan released his debut single, “Liquor & Pills,” across all major streaming platforms. The song quickly gained traction, and a viral video propelled it to No. 6 on the iTunes Country Chart.This success marked a turning point in Bryan’s life. With newfound momentum and a growing fanbase, he made the decision to fully commit to a career in music. His dedication was further evidenced by the rapid growth of his TikTok following, which now exceeds 2 million fans. Building on this success, Bryan released another hit single, “Homewrecker,” which soared to No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart.Through it all, Bryan remains grounded and humble, describing himself as “a small-town kid, just chasing his dream.” His journey from a small town in Missouri to achieving national recognition in the music industry is a testament to his passion, resilience, and the power of perseverance.Follow Me On Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuegostine/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuegostine YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fuegostine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fuegostine

• Luca Fogale

  In this episode of Fuegostine's Music Club I (fuegostine) sit down with singer-songwriter Luca Fogale. We talk about getting better everyday, his upcoming album, and finding authenticity in social media. I hope you enjoy the episode with Luca Fogale. About Luca Fogale: Canadian singer/songwriter Luca Fogale has a clear mission with his music: to provide comfort and sanctuary, not just from the cruel world that can so often bring us down, but from the dark thoughts and messy feelings that can plague us in our most insecure moments.Raised on a steady diet of Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, Luca possesses a voice that seems soft and gentle on the surface, but cuts deep to reveal hidden truths and suppressed emotions. Hailing from Burnaby, British Columbia, Luca recalls: “I grew up in not the most expressive family. We were conservative both in the way that we interacted with each other and the way we all bottled things up.” He’s spent his musical career making up for lost time, creating songs that aren’t afraid to be tender, vulnerable, and brutally honest.With his debut album Safety, Luca first introduced fans to a songwriter with a fine-tuned ear for warm, wool-sweater melodies, richly rendered narratives, and intimate autumnal ambiance, like Jeff Buckley timewarped into Bon Iver’s wood cabin. That album—and its gospel-gilded 2017 follow-up single “I Don’t Want to Lose You”—pegged Luca as an indie-folk phenom on the rise, but his 2020 follow-up LP, Nothing Is Lost, revealed there was a whole lot more to Luca than prettily played serenades on acoustic guitar and piano. Through a broader palette of synth-washed atmospheres, orchestral flourishes, and lush ‘70s soft-rock arrangements, Nothing is Lost saw Luca graduate from the proverbial coffeehouse to the concert hall, recasting his private conversations as cinematic set pieces.Recognition from Canada’s prestigious JUNO Awards raised Luca’s profile even further, with both Nothing Is Lost and his acclaimed 2023 follow-up album, Run Where The Light Calls, receiving nominations for “Adult Contemporary Album of the Year.” Since, he’s toured extensively across Canada, the US and Europe, and increased his total streams across the major platforms to over 100 million.Follow Me On Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuegostine/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuegostine YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fuegostine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fuegostine

• Ruston Kelly

  On this episode of Fuegostine's Music Club, I talk with Ruston Kelly, on his new album, a rediscovery of self as well as social media being a giant machine. I hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Ruston Kelly. About Ruston Kelly:Ruston Kelly is an American singer-songwriter known for his blend of Americana, alt-country, and rock music, often exploring themes of addiction, recovery, and personal transformation in his lyrics. He emerged from a musical family in South Carolina, struggled with drug addiction which he documented in his debut album Dying Star, and later went through a public divorce from Kacey Musgraves. His subsequent albums, including Shape & Destroy, The Weakness, and Pale, Through the Window, have explored self-reflection, healing, and finding strength through life's challengesFollow Me On Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuegostine/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuegostine YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fuegostine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fuegostine
