Derringer Discoveries - A Music Adventure Podcast

Rediscovering Elliott Murphy (EP63)

In this episode, Team Derringer interviews rock legend Elliott Murphy who has been a fixture on the music scene for over 51 years. Elliott is not just a rock musician; he's also a novelist, record producer, singer-songwriter, journalist, and actor. 
From his residence in Paris, France, where he lives with his wife Françoise, Elliott entertains Team Derringer (and our listeners) with tales of his early days as a musician from Long Island, New York. He reminisces about times spent with iconic musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Lou Reed. He also recounts his experiences of rising to fame—and experiencing setbacks—in the rock-and-roll scene of the early '70s. Now in his second (or perhaps third) act, Elliott embraces a quintessential European lifestyle and continues to grace the stage, captivating audiences for more than fifty years.

Foo Fighters (EP55)

After the tragic demise of one of the most critically acclaimed grunge bands of the early 1990s, a new music project arose. Originally intended as a solo endeavor by a talented multi-instrumentalist (and former Nirvana drummer), Dave Grohl, the debut Foo Fighters album captured the interest of music industry executives.
Grohl had intended the Foo Fighters moniker to provide him with a bit of anonymity; however, he soon realized that a full band would soon be required to support the attention-grabbing endeavor. Slowly a full line-up of talented musicians coalesced around its founding member and primary songwriter.  
By the time the band released its sophomore album, they were landing singles on music charts worldwide. Over the years, the Foo Fighters have won more than 10 Grammy Awards and continue to crank out chart topping singles and terrific – and often humorous – supporting videos.
In this episode, Team Derringer is joined by long-time friend and music super-fan, DP Derringer. Join the crew as they recap the founding of the Foo Fighters and explore their all-time favorite Foo Fighters songs.
At the end of this episode, you’ll hear from Jeff Touzeau along with his daughter Caroline Touzeau, who are running in the upcoming Boston Marathon to raise awareness for the TargetCancer Foundation: https://www.targetcancerfoundation.org. Interesting trivia: Jeff is a friend and former bandmate of Paul and Alton.
