Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk my guest is the legend Geoff Tate former Vocalist and Songwriter of Queensrÿche.

In 1983 a song came of the radio called Queen Of The Reich and the game changed. Immediately I went out and bought the Queensrÿche EP and never stopped listening to them.

Over the years Geoff and the band have written some of the best Metal records ever including their masterpiece Operation Mindcrime.

This mans vocals have inspired 1000's of singers over our time and I gotta say it was an absolute honer to have him on the show.

Geoff has a new record coming out in April with Sweet Oblivion called Relentless.

Tune In and keep the Candles Lit

Today one of my oldest friends stops by Mr Eric Peterson of Testament.

I fully believe that Eric is the most underrated Guitarist and Songwriter in the Thrash Metal scene. This man has been rocking in Testament for 35 years and also has a 2nd band called Dragonlord.

Testament's last release in 2020 Titans Of Creation is one of their heaviest in Years.

So much Metal History on this episode so tune in and enjoy.

Today on episode #580 my guest is Gary Numan a Legend and Pioneer in Electronic Music.

In the 70's I heard Gary Numan, Devo and Kraftwerk and it completely changed my life. Of course I was into Rock n Roll but Gary opened my eyes and ears to Art. This music helped me explore all types of musical styles and really shaped who I am now.

Gary has a new record coming out in May called Intruder and I cannot recommend it enough. Also go back and listen to some of his newer music from the last 20 years. Albums like Savage, and Splinter will blow your mind.

Thanks for tuning in and have a great week.

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk my guest is the fantastic Singer Songwriter from Texas Mr Koe Wetzel.

Over the last 9 years this man has built a huge following by non stop touring and recording. He completely built this machine on his own and now with a major record deal on Columbia Records he is about to go to another level.

I have been rocking his new record Sellout non stop since I got it.

Some smoking songs on this LP like Crying From The Bath Room, Sidechick, Drug Problem and Outcast. Radio needs to wake up and start playing these Hit Songs because America needs to hear them today.

Buy Koe's record and follow him on all social media.

Today my guest is a new artist out of Chicago by the name of Neal Francis.

This mans debut record Changes came out in 2019 and it is absolutely incredible.

Not only is Neal a great singer, songwriter his B3 playing is through the roof.

I really think Neal is going to make some serious noise once he can get back out on the road and play live.

Do yourself a favor and check out his music and follow him on Instagram.

Monday Jan,11th 2021 I woke up to some awful news that the great Jeff Scott, Comedy Store Piano player had passed away.

This is a massive loss to our Comedy Store Family and Friends.

I will never forget his great laugh and spirit behind the keyboards every night in the Original Room.

7 1/2 years ago he was a guest on my podcast and had some incredible stories that I feel should be shared again today.

RIP Jeff Scott I will never forget you.
