Music

We are back for the second half of our theatre history lesson, bringing the modern world of musicals into the spotlight. To end our two part journey, we'll be listening to shows such Wicked, SIX, Hairspray and more! With vocal powerhouses such as Cynthia Erivo and Mary Bond Davis, this Double XX installment is sure to make our theater finale special!

It's a night at the theater with the women of Broadway/West End. There are way too many shows that we could cover, so this is the first part of a two part dive into the world of musical theatre. With icons such as Dame Julie Andrews, Patti LuPone, and many more, this episode of Double XX covers some of the classics!

Join Ben this time on the ROAR Report for an invigorating interview with ISU's Commercial Music Program head and founder Jonathan Armstrong! The focus is the upcoming Stevie Wonder Music concert at Jensen hall the evening of Friday October 25th!

Ladies, grab your broomsticks and your spell books, because it's time to let out your inner sorcerer! In this magical episode of Double XX, we are channeling the witch within us! With the help of other enchantresses such as Ha Vay, Alice Phoebe Lou, and Celeste, this installment has the perfect songs to bring out that powerful witch inside you!

We're back! In this new September 2024 installment of Double XX, we are shining a spotlight on the 60's! Voices such as Dionne Warwick, Etta James, and Joni Mitchell all make an appearance in this episode, as well as a few other talented women who were releasing music during this timeless era of music. Whether it was the classy soul that this decade is famous for, or the acoustic guitar gems, the 60's gave the word "dreaminess" a whole new meaning.

The great thing about music? There is something for everyone! For the last summer show, I asked some of the women whom I know have listened to the show to send me a song that they love! This wonderful tribute to the first summer of Double XX features artists such as Roberta Flack, Tiny Habits, and The Sundays. What a way to celebrate the end of the season! Much love to all you! Be kind to one another and remember, the future is FEMALE!

Don’t Call it Jazz is thrilled to present, “From the Vault”, a new series of episodes where host Jon Armstrong plays music from his old CD and Vinyl collection. This physical media collection has been going strong for over 25 years, and it’s been a blast to rediscover these iconic albums.

There's no denying it, we all have songs that we listen to on a loop. It's also true that those songs change from time to time depending on our mood, or whatever we have going on in our lives. So, for this Double XX episode, I am giving you a look into my (current) personal music library hits, with tunes by TLC, Kelly Clarkson, and more.
