Welcome to Season 6 of The Morning Brew Podcast! For this firecracker of a premiere, I'm so excited to introduce LEGENDARY songwriter Eddie Schwartz.

You may know him as the songwriter behind Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", but today we're taking a look at Eddie's new music! His latest EP, Film School, is a 6-track record that takes you on a cinematic journey through the eyes of the singer.

I feel honored to have been able to chat with Eddie, not only about his new music, but to pick his brain about songwriting. You can listen to Film School anywhere you stream music, and you can connect with Eddie on Instagram (@eddieschwartzmusic) or via his website (eddieschwartzmusic.com)

Welcome to the Season 5 finale!! It's been an incredible year, and I'm so happy to be closing out with my new friend Nathan Stevens (@micajahmusic).

Listen to find out wtf happened in South Carolina - as well as how we went to the same college but left with two completely different views of the city!

We tear into the unique history behind the band name and the new Micajah album "Ballroom on Fire", which is incredible by the way!

You can also check out Nathan's music reviews at drwoodhouse.com !

Thank you so much for listening to this season! I'm just getting started, so make sure you're following on Instagram (@the_morning_brew_podcast) and tune back in January 2nd for an interview with legendary songwriter Eddie Schwartz!

This week on the podcast, I'm welcoming Jennun (pronounced "genuine") - a Latin pop singer!

She recently attended the Latin Grammy's, released her debut album "Mejor Sola", and posted a new music video! In this episode, Jennun takes me through how the album was created and some of the mental challenges she overcame in the process.

You can check her out on Instagram (@jenn.u.n) and her Spotify is linked below!

Meet Brandon Torio - you may know him as Wave Station if you're in the Austin music scene!

In this interview, Brandon and I talk about his recent album, "Running Out of Time" and the different inspirations behind this project. His sound is very versatile, but reminds me of Linkin Park. (Fun fact - Brandon can name any Linkin Park song in less than two seconds).

Be sure to follow him on Instagram (@wave_station_) and check out his album anywhere you listen to music! If you're a fan of headbanging to a variety of sound, this album is definitely for you!
