Episode 12 is now up on 🍏, google play, Stitcher and TuneIn! I had the great pleasure to talk with multi-instrumentalist and videographer Keith Fischer of Bells and Hunters & Soul Rae Films. We turned our conversation to everything Blind Melon and their original lead vocalist, the exciting and incomparable Shannon Hoon. Keith played a vital role in the creation of a new documentary about Hoon, titled “All I Can Say,” watching 200+ hours of analogue video footage created by the singer, who could be considered the original “video blogger” while on tour with BM during the 1990’s. All I Can Say Film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC earlier this year, and more screenings have been announced for film festivals in Minneapolis and Amsterdam.
