Jenee and Danielle welcome first ever guest Ryan Montbleau to discuss 10 years on the road, building a following Rocky-style and the value of New Edition.   Songs:  "Head Above Water" - from "For Higher" 2012 "Full Grown Man" - from "For Higher" 2012 Photo by Caroline Alden http://www.carolinealdenphoto.com "Songs for Ryan Montbleau typically need to simmer. In his 10-year career this gifted singer and his limber band have built their catalog the old-fashioned way, by introducing new songs to their live set, then bending and shaping them over dozens of performances before committing a definitive version to the hard drive. For that and many other reasons, Montbleau's latest album, For Higher, is quite literally a departure. Well-established out of his home base in the Northeast, the singer threw himself into New Orleans, where everything is slow-cooked, for a few fast-moving days — and whipped up an instant delicacy."
