I'm so pleased to host Cedric Ross on the Couch Riffs Podcast! IMIJ was a hugely important band to my formative times in the 90s Seattle music scene and I was a big fan, for sure. The band is releasing an LP of unreleased material and playing a show at Neumo's in Seattle on November 6. Strap in, this is a long-from conversation. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Our guest this episode is Seattle's own Eva Walker of The Black Tones who will be releasing their new album, Diamond Ruby Night, on October 30 (2026). We cover a lot of ground in this conversation including some of Eva's musical history, our shared experience with music projects in the prison system, and loads more. I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

I was so happy to meet and host D'Vonne Lewis, a Seattle-born, award-winning jazz drummer, for this Couch Riffs conversation. D'Vonne has a Jazz Alley run coming up as well as tour dates with Brittany Davis through the end of 2026. He is also involved in the Seattle Jazz Fellowship and can be seen performing in the Monday night jams in Pioneer Square. As always, it is a pleasure and a privilege to get to speak with musicians that I would not likely otherwise get to cross paths with and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
