Inside GA Music Pilot Episode
This is the pilot episode of a new Inside Out wTnS series which finds hosts Rob Turner and Seth Weiner focusing on the Georgia music world. The podcasts’ goal is to shine a light on all things related to the Georgia music industry – and the people, artists and supporters who make it all happen. In this first episode, we take a look at how Collectiv and Beware Presents were able to put on large-scale concerts at The Atlanta Motor Speedway during a global pandemic. We focus on the pair of Umphrey’s McGee concerts which took place in October. Includes interviews with Eric Von Haessler of WSB’s “Von Haessler Doctrine, Kit Blanchard (The Site/Event Director), Nicholas Woodruff (the Social Distancing Ambassador), and Steve Homer (a long-time music fan)
Checking In: Jake Cinninger (UM) Talking Eddie Van Halen
The lead guitarist of Umphrey's McGee and Ali Baba's Tahini, Jake Cinninger kindly gave Seth and Rob some time to talk about one of his elite guitar heroes, Eddie Van Halen. Eddie was a pivotal part of Jake's decision to focus on playing guitar to the extent that he did. We hear Jake discuss (and demonstrate with his guitar) how Eddie was an innovator, how he evolved as a player and the importance of Van Halen. Jake also talks about how he first heard Van Halen, and the time he saw them live. Jake also talks about, and demonstrates how Eddie impacted his songwriting.

Rob Turner
ROB TURNER
Ever since discovering Boston radio legend Larry Glick on his bedside tiny transistor radio sometime in the early 70s, Rob Turner has had a relentless fascination with radio. Music would soon afterwards become an obsession, and after seeing Frank Zappa in Boston in 1981, adventurous rock music quickly became a favorite. A graduate of Boston University’s College of Communication, and perpetual student of many aspects of the media world, Rob has, as he says, “skittered on the fringes” of the music industry for decades. He has consistently been a rabid supporter of live music, having seen roughly 100 shows a year from across the musical genre spectrum since the 1980s. He has also at times been accused of being a journalist, writing for print magazines like Relix, Guitar One, Honest Tune and Hittin’ The Note as well as countless internet vehicles.
Rob has lived in Atlanta since the summer of 1999 and very much found a home in the Atlanta music scene. He has worked in various capacities at many local venues, most notably The Variety Playhouse and his current Vip Host position at The Coca Cola Roxy Theater in Atlanta. His many oft-uncompensated contributions to various web sites, most frequently news items on jambands.com, were offered with the intention on shining light on music artists from Atlanta and beyond. He has been a tireless and shameless grass roots promoter since moving to Georgia, and was for a few years a key part of an organic music-based specialty show which aired on Atlanta’s 50,000 watt FM Station WZGC. Rob selects, researches and quarterbacks the interviews, and produces the podcast.
