Artist-DJ Autumn Leilani 176

This week, hosts Anthony and Alex are joined by San Diego DJ and producer Autumn Leilani for a conversation about one of the most powerful—and sometimes overlooked—elements of any event: music.How do you set the tone the moment guests walk through the door? How do you build the perfect playlist that keeps the energy flowing? And what goes into reading the room and knowing exactly when to turn it up, slow it down, or completely change the vibe?Autumn takes us behind the music to talk about the art of creating an atmosphere, cultivating the perfect set list, and using music to transform an event from simply memorable into an experience people won't stop talking about.Because the right song at the right moment can change everything.

Tom Griesgraber is known for many roles in the music industry, but best known on stage for his mastery of the unusual Chapman Stick. Until you’ve seen it performed live, his solo music sounds too big to be coming from just one person. There are acoustic guitar or piano-like moments, funk rock bass lines, ambient synth and soundscape textures, rock guitar leads, jazz solos and even small bits of percussion sometimes all happening simultaneously. To the uninitiated listener it sounds like an ensemble, but to those who have seem him live, it is the magic of a unique virtuoso. https://www.bollotta.com/
