Episode 84: Steve Tulipana
Steve Tulipana is a son and a brother and a husband and a musician. He's also the co-owner of recordBar and miniBar, as well as partner in Lemonade Park. Last but not least, he's my guest for Episode No. 84.
I'm beyond pleased that Steve took some time out of his very-busy, very-demanding schedule to come sit with me and talk a little bit about his story as a musician in many outfits, a recording artist, and an owner/operator/partner of multiple live-music venues.
Sometimes I have one or more of these things locked, loaded, and ready to drop; other times I'm scrambling, and this week was an example of the latter. Needless to say, I'm pleased to've put the finishing touches on this installment in the 11th hour, and am now ready for a nap.
Getting these things scheduled, recorded, and shareable with the world is -- as Mr. Sprehe so eloquently put it a few episodes back -- a grind. It's a worthwhile one, though; there're a lot of great people in and around this city, and I hope you enjoy getting to hear a little bit about them.
As is always the case, our conversation involved a number of different details, but the common denominator in all of these chats is a mutual love of music. Mr. Tulipana was kind enough to share a few of his favorite albums with me, and those were these:
David Bowie's Hunky Dory (1971)
Duty Now for the Future (1979), Devo
Einsturzende Neubauten's Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. (1983)
Double Nickels on the Dime (1984), Minutemen
SLOVENLY's Riposte (1987)
Please be sure to check out our chat as there are a couple of timely shows happening within a day or a handful of days when this drops. And speaking of time, we're nearing the end of the voting round for The Pitch's Best of KC contest, wherein you can vote for Badass Records for Best Local Podcast, which you can do here.
As always, thank you for stopping by.
