On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Episode 379: Gear, Gigs, Downtime, and Freebird is Back? 36:03

12 days ago36:03

36:03

This week we’re keeping it light with a grab bag of hot takes straight from our Slack channel — because holiday gigs are frying our brains and y’all deserve something snackable. We’re talking: •Ray-Ban Meta's - new gig essential? • Is “Freebird” the new Rickroll? • How much time should really be between soundcheck and downbeat (spoiler: it’s not 30 minutes, Kevin). • Why the best critique comes wrapped in a compliment sandwich. • And a little love for our global Slack fam (what up, Australia 👋). So yeah, we’re vibing on the little stuff this week — the kind of stuff that keeps you sane when you’re hauling gear in +80-degree heat while wearing tank tops you definitely don’t wanna perform in. Join us as we shout out the community, talk gig life, and maybe convince you that “Freebird” deserves a second chance (kinda).

Why Being a Lead Singer Isn't As Hard As You Think In this episode, we dive into a hot take about lead singers and their role in a band. Discussing their duties of internalizing and externalizing music, we compare the workload and challenges faced by lead vocalists versus accompanists and instrumentalists. Through personal anecdotes and metaphors like dance leading and following, the conversation explores the intricacies of performing arts and the importance of background roles.
