Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
Guest, Forged
JESSICA TEIXEIRA and SHAUNA MUHONEN
FORGED
Jessica and Shauna forged the perfect friendship! Both singers since childhood, they came together with complimentary skills and preferences. Jess prefers singing melody while Shauna prefers singing harmony. Jess sings high and Shauna sings low. They have a love of harmony that is shown in the songs that they write. They have pursued careers in country music as they love the storytelling aspect of the genre. In 3 ½ minutes of a country song you can listen to a lifetime, hear someone’s whole heart, or go on an adventure! Jess and Shauna have started pitching their original music to Nashville labels, and hope to someday hear their songs sung by other talented artists in the industry.
A little about Shauna: She is the mother of 6, is self-taught in mandolin and piano. Shauna has fond memories of learning how to sing harmony as a child sitting at the feet of her mother. Shauna has spent many years singing in various capacities for women’s groups, churches, fundraisers, etc. Shauna created and runs a woman’s ministry as well. Shauna is living the country lifestyle too she has horses and her husband even competes in Hunter/Jumper shows.
A little about Jess: She is the mother of 4, is a licensed clinical mental health counselor, and her husband owns a pizza and sub shop that’s attached to their home. Jess has spent many years singing in various competitions, churches, fundraisers, etc. Jess even won the title as “college idol” in a spin off competition of American Idol at her alma mater.
Forged has grown over the years from a duo to a full band. The band has grown to include Matt Johndrow (drums/writer), Mike Pistone (guitar/bass/keys/sound engineer/writer), and Rob Murphy (bass/sweet dance skills). The band has 2 new songs in studio that will be ready to release soon. The new songs are from both ends of the country spectrum. One is the type of song you’d listen to on someone’s front porch (with a banjo of course) while the other is more of a fast paced rockin’ empowered song. Stay tuned!
