We've received a lot of feedback about what a great great visit we had with Leland Sklar and what a great story he shared.  I would imagine there's not one person reading this that can say they were seriously mistaken for Santa Claus by a four year old.  We're just having a nice visit this week hope you enjoy the commentary lots of guests coming stay tuned

Hello everybody this week is such a special treat because we get to have a visit with the great renowned bass player Leland Sklar.  Leland has played bass for Phil Collins, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor and too many others to mention.  You've seen him everywhere ...the Bearded Wonder. It's a long episode but there was a lot to cover and it's all fascinating and grade A material ...just a fantastic story hope you enjoy it.

WORTH THE WAIT!  Johnny Whitaker is WAAAYYYY more than that cute little kid on "Family Affair".  You will be amazed....and what a great guy.  We have to say this podcast has opened up so many avenues to so many people with such amazing histories. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

Well folks it finally happened.  We apparently experienced a technical difficulty and our guest, Johnny Whitaker, couldn't make it. So Johnny will be with us next week so we can do more than just talk about him in the meantime enjoy a short visit and we'll see you next week.

Hi everyone hope all is well as autumn approaches.  Just some ramblings today to pass some time.  Next week we have Johnny Whitaker from the "Family Affair " TV show. Have a great week!

Lenie Colacino spent the summer with us singing on the Hapoy Together tour with Jay and the Americans.  Of course we found out that Lenie is way more than just a background singer and, in fact, has his own absolutely amazing musical history and journey and he shares that with us including his run as Paul McCartney in "Beatlemania" on Broadway.  We hope you enjoy this episode we sure did!

We were alerted to a Facebook post by the Evans Family Band holding a sign up asking to meet the Cowsills and voila!  We have this week's guest and it is indeed the Evans Family Band.

Hi everybody we are back from the cruise and it was fanTAStic!  Thank you to all of you who visited and shared your stories and experiences with us while cruising the Atlantic.  We're back and getting ready for Vegas this Friday at the Golden Nugget so maybe see some of you there!

We are out somewhere on the Atlantic ocean folks.  Probably in our first port, Jamaica, on the Flower Power cruise. We hope you enjoy our "cruise" episode we recorded before we left port.  See you next week back on dry land!

eng||Hey everybody we are here chatting away about many things although it's hard to remember what we talked about after we've talked about it.  We guess you'll just have to listen.  Next week we are on the Flower Power Cruise so look for a special "cruise" episode then.  Enjoy!

Hey everybody we just got back from Havre de Grace, Maryland and one of the funnest gigs ever.  We met Phlash Phelps and hung out friday night with him at dinner event.  We had a  blast so sit back and give a listen.  Love you all!!!

Hi everyone. We know this one is late and other times we have missed the Wednesday deadline for new episodes but sometimes stuff happens. Anyway, no guest this week just the ramblings of 3 siblings who have a lot to say about nothing so hope you enjoy the episode see you next week on time!

Hey everyone we're still on a high after two episodes with Artie Kornfeld so this week we decided no guest, take a deep breath, and fill folks in on what's happening with The Cowsills.  We cover lots of territory hope you enjoy the episode we certainly enjoyed doing it.  See you all soon.  Remember, just go to YouTube, type in the Cowsills Podcast and you are off and running with 166 episodes up on demand.  That's called a library folks!!

We had such a great visit with Artie Kornfeld last week but we never got to touch on Woodstock, the true legacy of this great man.  So this week we invited Artie back to have a very cool Woodstock conversation and what a tale it is. Enjoy this one folks it's a beauty!!

Well folks it only took 164 episodes to get to one of the most important figures in the history of The Cowsills and here he is.  To put it bluntly without Artie Kornfeld there would have never been a famous musical family called The Cowsills on any charts anywhere no matter how good we were.  Artie was the key to it all.  Artie Kornfeld is way more than his Woodstock legacy indicates and The Cowsills were an early success for this amazing artist in his own right.  Sit back and listen to this rock historian talk about a lot of this 'oth...

One man, one voice, one guitar... Big sound!'. That describes singer-songwriter Hal Bruce everybody he is a one-man, multi-decade, singer songwriter with an amazing history and one of the most amazing repertoires out there. He actually once performed a live medley of 214 Beatle songs without stopping...yes it included #9.  Enjoy the visit everyone!!!

You know how we love to say everyone has a story?  Well we just have to say in this case, with our guest Johnny Britt, you are going to hear one heck of a story.  So interesting!  Hope everyone enjoys this episode.  Johnny is way more than just the cool trumpet player in Little Anthony's Happy Together show ....we all met two summers ago and Little Anthony and Johnny are returning to the tour this summer.....can't wait!!

Well today we decided to visit with each other and our brother John and and all caught up on the family and who's going through what.  We discuss the fires the future and everything in between.  Wasn't Little Anthony awesome?  See you soon with even more guests.  Enjoy our family visit!

Hi everybody, we want you all to meet our good friend Little Anthony.  What a guy and what a road warrior he is.  You can look up tons of stuff on this latest inductee into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame to grace our podcast.  It's all amazing.  But here we just have a nice visit with a nice guy.  You can look up all the factoids about his career and hits.  He's a wonderful guy and we're looking forward to spending the summer together on the Happy Together Tour!"

Merry Christmas everyone and all that good holiday cheer stuff.  Just a quick little visit here to get everyone through the holidays.  Hope you all have a great time and great lives.  More to come in 2025 from The Cowsills Podcast like our guest for our next episode is LITTLE ANTHONY!!!

Hello everybody well now here we are in the Christmas season. We love it. We have a great guest today we'd like to introduce you to.... Alex McMurray.... a singer/songwriter/guitarist going strong since 1989.  Alex has a great story that takes him from New Jersey, physics, Tulane, pizza worker, and substitute teaching to name a few pathways to becoming one of the great award-winning artists from New Orleans.  Hope you enjoy the episode and see you next week!!

We are back!!! We are back from the Malt Shop Cruise and the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas!  We are alive but admittedly came crawling through Las Vegas minus two of our warriors and are home safe and sound for a while now.  We have a fantastic guest, Chris Ruggiero, today so sit back and enjoy hearing a very unique story from someone so young in the entertainment industry.

Hi everyone we are right now on our cruise ship somewhere in the Atlantic hopefully staying away from the rain and storms out there.  We decided to just have some fun and goof around in this episode but we ended having SO much fun we're going to do these types again.  Listen in and laugh and answer along with us!

Hello all we are right now in Tomball, Texas waiting to perform tomorrow night at the Main Street Crossing.  We've been doing interviews for the release of "Global" coming out November 8th when we are performing at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas and you will really enjoy where Paul and Bob found themselves Saturday night so have fun with the episode.

Well everybody we hope you enjoy visiting with our guest this week John "Papa" Gros, the great New Orleans ambassador of not only it's music but it's lifestyle, history and importance.  What a history and it is still unfolding.  Check him out before you listen even and you'll love the sounds and influences you hear.  You'll also see a very familiar drummer in these videos!  Okay everybody until next week...we love you all!!!!

In the spirit of our pursuit of highlighting family bands on the Cowsills Podcast we introduce to you this week as our special guest Secret Monkey Weekend.  As you would expect they have a great story.  If you read this first take the deep dive then watch the episode or just sit back and go in cold.  Either way, once again we see there are such talented and gifted people in our world.  Enjoy the episode.

Hello everybody we'd like you all to just sit back and relax and take a listen to what our brother John is up to.  He has a lot going on and he took the time out in his busy schedule to visit with us and catch us up on everything.  We have "Global" coming out and John is with us on that project so he's got a lot happening since he left the Beach Boys.

Well the Happy Together Tour has come to an end for another summer.  It was quite dramatic and you will enjoy the recounting of what happened at the Minnesota State Fair as we take you right through the end with the Washington State Fair show and a fun recap of the shows that ended our 10th consecutive summer tour.  We will be going out again next summer and they're even adding 10 more shows!  Enjoy the episode and we look forward to having many guests in future episodes and this podcast train is going to keep on rolling!!!

Hello everybody we have a very special guest today radio legend Mike Kirtner.  Mike became a fan of the podcast and we think you'll enjoy his reaction to it and what he came up with and implemented.  From the podcast we ended up launching a weekly radio show, "The Cowsill Chronicles", on 97.9 the River out of West Virginia you can download the app. Enjoy everyone we just ended the summer tour and a big fall/winter and spring are heading our way!

Hello everyone we have only 6 days left on our summer Happy Together Tour!!!  Wow!  No guest today but we share some great stories.  You can find out who started the bus fire on the band's tour bus and who is credited for saving everyone's lives.  We also explain why Howard Stern still doesn't like us and won't talk with us.  I guess we're in a long feud.  Also we address our "forced" night off at a casino in Michigan because they don't like "Indian Lake" and they don't like us.  Even our family band is banned from playing there.  Okay everybod...

Hello everyone from Zydeco land. We're back with our first guest in a while Grammy award winning artist Terrance Simien.

Hello everybody!!  We had a great weekend in Friday Harbor, Washington and are now heading to Boston and returning to the Happy Together Tour.  We'll get back to our normally scheduled programming next week but thought it would be fun to re-highlight our visit with Steve Van Zandt.  Little Stevie has a lot going on with his new book, his history with the Soprano's, his brand new documentary, his return to The E Street Band touring with the Boss, and his visit with The Cowsills on "The Cowsills Podcast"!!  Please enjoy a return to our visit with Steve and even if y...

Hi everybody.  We're getting ready to head up to San Juan island off the coast of Washington for our gig at the Honeywell estate and Friday Harbor this weekend.  Here's a short visit as we wind through all of that and head back out on to the Happy Together Tour.

Hello everyone from the Happy Together Tour! Sometimes we get in a location out here where the reception is spotty and we can't get smooth reception for our podcast episode.  To fill-in until next week, we thought it would be fun to run our most successful episode ever starring Phlash Phelps, the longtime historic and iconic morning DJ on SiriusXM "60's Gold".  After 143 episodes Phlash Phelps appearance seemingly will never be unseated as the #1 guest on the Cowsills Podcast.

Well everybody we have finally come up with a new guest this week....OUR BROTHER JOHN!!!!!!  He's not a Beach Boy, he'll aways be a Cowsill, he's not an Action Skuller, he isn't missing, no more "Where's John?"episodes so what's up?  Well he is here with us and we had a heck of a visit. He's got a little "I'm here to claim my legacy" kind of thing going on but this bro has a LOT so say!.  So listen in as we go down the John Lane, talk over each other, and find out what he and his lov...

Hey everyone as you know we're out here on the Happy Together Tour for the summer.  Sometimes we hit a snag on the road and production of our podcast gets interrupted due to road circumstances...such as this week (and last).  Rather than let the same episode run another week we thought it would be fun to focus on our very first episode and return that one to the top of the heap for enjoyment.  There's no video (that came later) so audio only. Next week we will be back with our regularly scheduled program. Hope everyone is having a gre...

Hi everybody!! We're doing great out here on the Happy Together Tour having great shows with great audiences.  Today we visit about life at Halidon Hall, the mansion on the hill in Newport, Rhode Island where we lived just before we moved to New York.  We were on the cusp of making it big and we have a lot of fun memories to share with you about life in Newport c. 1965-1966.

Hello everybody we've been asked to continue through our historical walk through the different places we've lived and what life was like in them. Today we cover life in Ohio circa 1958, 59, 60, 61. Susan is not on this episode as she was born in Ohio and we left when she was three so there's no memories.... if she does have any we'll talk with her about that next week.  Enjoy the episode we're out on "The Happy Together" tour so we'll be talking about that soon.

Well folks we are heading out for our summer tour, our 10th Happy Together Tour.  So exciting to still be going and still be at it.  We had such fun last week describing our life in Santa Monica when we arrived in late 1968 on top of the world we thought we'd continue the theme this week and next even.  Today we talk some about life on Indian Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island in the mid-sixties when we were forming the band and coming of age.  Hope you enjoy the episode and next time you'll hear from us we'll be out ther...

Hello all this week's guest hails from Canada and they are the power rock pop group The Kings.  The Kings made their mark in the early 80's and have not stopped and currently are promoting their 2024 album/CD release "The Longest Story Ever Told".   We hope you enjoy this visit with one of Canada's great rock bands as we travel a long and winding road through their career as songwriters and performers.  The story that takes place in Denver, The Kings first American concert opening for Jeff Beck, is absolutely priceless and very rock 'n roll!

Wow that was some interview last week with Frank Stallone that was a long episode thanks for hanging in on that one great conversation. Today no guest we're just chatting it up a bit we'll get back to guesting next week. We're getting ready to head out to North Tonawanda to perform Saturday night looking forward to that ...enjoy life wherever you are thanks for chiming in and listening and viewing and see you next week if not tonight

Hi folks this week we are visiting the family band COMPASS who hail from Canton, Ohio. They are 16 yr old Arianna and her 2 younger brothers Harrison on guitar (ahead of his time he's so good) and Johnny their 10 year old drummer (who started drumming at age 7 sound familiar anyone?) and then Constantine who will be playing keyboards when he gets a little older. Of course we felt we were interviewing a younger version of The Cowsills...it was awesome.  Enjoy and please support this great family. Next week another great guest thanks so much everybody!

Hi everyone!  Well the eclipse eclipsed our hopefully planned guest this week when the family band, COMPASS, found themselves smack dab in the middle of the "path of totality" for the solar eclipse and our episode was scheduled to tape smack dab in the middle of that eclipse so we will visit our family band next week because that would have been a big miss for the family. We can't wait to visit with them and see what's up. In the meantime please enjoy our ramblings about this and that.

Hi everybody WE ARE BACK FROM OUR TWO CRUISES!!  We tried podcasting from the cruise ship but to no avail.  So we let the rehearsal episode run while we were away hope that was okay.  We had a blast and talk about that and other things.  We have lots of guests to get to in 2024 and we will be starting that next week.  For now we wanted to just catch you up on things and give you a report on the cruises and what's coming at us in 2024.  Thanks for hanging in everyone!

Hello everybody we're heading to Miami today heading out to sea tomorrow on the Celebrity Summit for the back to back 70's and 60's cruises! In today's episode we share one of our rehearsals.  As we're working up these new songs we thought we'd share what some of that work looks like so you're going to hear lousy mixes, singing that is not real serious yet, one-angle camera....we're just searching through the songs putting them together and we thought you'd enjoy seeing part of that process!!!

Hi everyone we're getting ready to head to Miami and perform on the 70's Rock and Romance Cruise and then immediately after that the Flower Power Cruise. So we have two sets of music we've been working on decade-related. Today we're relaxed and just filling everyone in on this and that and had a nice visit. Hope you enjoy the conversation. See you next week with another family band, COMPASS, as our guests.

Today we have some more sibling ramblings but we promise to start up with guests next week again. There are plenty coming! Thanks for listening and watching everyone.... see you soon!

We thought we'd have one more episode with no guest folks. We missed Susan last week so we get caught up with her and finally learn what 'I'm doing Mardis Gras' means in detail....just family stuff and some sibling bantering. Stay tuned for new guests in this new year starting next week. Hey maybe we can get our brother John on again and find out what REALLY happened with the Beach Boys!! There's always more to the story.

Okay more guests to come of course and a very big 2024 awaits all of us. Enjoy the episode!

We had a great visit today with Jay Reinke who happens to be Jay #3 of "Jay and the Americans". What a great story as to how that came to be. So different and amazing. We hope your 2024 has blasted off in a positive direction! Filling the shoes as the voice of Jay and the Americans is not something any singer can do....only a special singer like Jay Reink! Wait'll you hear how he got there.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the podcast. We actually have our very first return guest, Bruce Belland of the Four Preps, and we catch up with Bruce in this episode amongst other things. Bruce kind of popped in early on us so we weren't able to set up his arrival properly but that's what's fun about the podcast...the looseness and flexibility we have. So enjoy the episode see you next week with another special guest!!

When someone you respect suggests you check something out and you do chances are you will be blown away by the heads up. That's what happened with us when Louise Palanker, creator and director of our documentary, "Family Band - the Story of the Cowsills", sent us a link to check out a new family band called "Raized Wrong". So sit back and enjoy this refreshing family group of two brothers and their dad. The boys are both under 14 and you might go ahead and google them before the episode and listen to some of the songs they've recorded with...

Welcome to 2024! It is amazing that we are still on our podcast path. Special thanks to Rock Positano, Steve Carlis and Danielle Kessler for keeping the podcast flame alive. What a great historic visit we had with the great New Orleans bass player extraordinaire Geore Porter, Jr.. You have to listen to this man's story it is historic and entertaining and amazing and extremely authentic. From his early days as a young boy growing up in New Orleans, he takes us down the path of his incredible musical journey which is still going to this day!

We hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day welcome to our first podcast of 2024!!!! Whodathunkit? Not us! Anyway no guest just easing in to the New Year with some conversations about this and that. Enjoy today's episode and stay tuned for fantastic new guests in 2024!!!

Folks we ran in to some technical difficulty in Tomball which bumped us off of our podcast schedule so here we are catching up right in the middle of the holidays. Yikes!! We had a fun visit today talking about this and that. We're trying to attach some footage from Tomball, Texas and our Christmas show but as of this writing we'll have to see about that. Have a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2024 and here's to lots more episodes and guests from "The Cowsills Podcast"! Thanks for listening!

With last week's episode with the great Phil Solem having gone on a bit because not only was his story great but we were also visiting an old friend who we knew when he was an up and coming struggling musician like the rest of us. So we have no guest this week but we do catch everyone up on some issues and this and that so enjoy the visit and Merry Christmas!

After listening to this episode of The Cowsills Podcast folks you will learn that our guest, Phil Solem of the Rembrandts, has a rich history that goes way beyond the fact that he and his bandmate, Danny Wilde, as the Rembrandts recorded and released their biggest hit, the theme song from the TV series "Friends" called "I'll Be There For You". It's a long episode but no one has to listen in one sitting there was much to visit about. Phil goes way back with The Cowsills all the way to the "Cocaine Drain Album" days. Hope you enjoy listening...

Happy new episode everybody. This week's guest, Marc Nathan, takes us in to the world of the A&R position at a record company. Marc was the guy who signed artists to labels, the A&R guy. He would scour for new music and new talent and play a role in bringing it all to the public. But the story within this amazing accounting was when Marc went to bat for The Cowsills and paid a dear price. Wait until you hear Marc's recounting of the memorable meeting he had with Doug Morris of Atlantic Records regarding The Cowsills and...

Thanks for listening and watching...lots of new guests coming, as Paul says, "...from all walks of life!

Being a "baseball family" we were overjoyed with the opportunity to visit with the legendary Jim Rosenthal, writer of some of the greatest sports books every written.
