About this listen

CRUMBS Cafe was an Upstate New York radio show from January 2007 to September 2015 where local musicians stopped by the CRUMBS Cafe Studio for an interview and a couple of songs. Often we got the chance to record rare, acoustic versions of your favorite local songs. These weekly shows gave musicians the outlet to chat a bit about them, what their songs are all about, or even the local music scene in general. These episodes were also heard on Exit 97.7 WEXT every Friday night and blogged about on the Times Union website. Mike Guzzo, Billy Booker, Andy Gregory, and Rich Krissel.Mike Guzzo Music

  • Sirsy - Episode 007 [Encore Episode]
    Jan 26 2025

    Recorded 01 Mar 2007: Sirsy stops by the studio for a bit of a pre-interview for their new CD coming out this summer. I thought it would be interesting to discuss their current experience of recording the new album, have them play a new song, and then interview them again when the album is complete. They were able to give us a tasty sample of what to expect by playing the not yet released song Sorry Me. We will have to check out the released version and see how the song progressed over the months. We also discussed an important topic of fund raising for your band. How else are you going to cover the cost of recording an album? This episode also has a bonus track at the end.

  • Blackcat Elliot - Episode 009 [Encore Episode]
    Jan 26 2025

    Recorded 22 Mar 2007: On this episode of CRUMBS Cafe we had Blackcat Elliot and man where they quite the lively bunch and what a time. I think we got in a couple of questions as these guys went in all sorts direction with the answers. Most of the interview was cut due to time. What we kept was a half an hour of great stories, great laughs, and great songs. They were able to play three songs live from the CRUMBS Cafe studio from their album Never Come Clean. The second song they played is brand new and never before released. We love getting these rare cuts.

  • The Velmas - Episode 010 [Encore Episode]
    Jan 26 2025

    Recorded 29 Mar 2007: The conversation was off to a slow start but once they got into playing a tune they warmed up to the interview mic. It was a tight squeeze in the studio as Mike Bruce brought a scaled version of this kit. With the addition of a video camera we just barley fit in the small space. Ive said if before: these guys have some great radio ready tunes. They were able to play acoustic versions of the songs Out There, This Time, and Would It Matter with each song featuring a different member on vocals. The songs sound quality is impressive for recording in my attic.
