It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Bodeans founder Kurt Neumann, who brings the 40th Anniversary of “Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams” magic to Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on May 8th. Plenty of good things and good work of the music, touring with U2 and recording with T Bone Burnett with one of Nestor’s all-time favorite bands and singer/songwriters, whose first love was beating on the drums.
With us watching the “new” Lexington Market come to life in recent years and always centered up at Faidley’s Seafood for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, we loved our visit with Shaina Hernandez, who gives Nestor a primer and overview on all of the Baltimore Markets and their tasty offerings for locals to patronize and enjoy. Mark it down and get to one of the city’s fabulous markets!

What classic rock rocker hasn’t played air guitar to “Just Between You And Me”? So when Nestor got a chance to chat about the Montreal side of April Wine as they hit the road with the triumphant return of Triumph this spring, he had plenty of questions for Brian Greenway, who joined the band in 1977 and continues to bring the music to the masses.
In the heat of the night, Canadian musician Luke Doucet got a heavenly call from legendary Bryan Adams to join his band – but he had to learn 26 songs in three days and meet them to play in Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Nestor saw three of those magical South American shows in Montevideo, Santiago and Bogota and tracked down Sarah McLachlan’s regular guitar player in Toronto to have him tell one of the greatest rock and roll stories ever told. It was more than a one night love affair for the reckless kid who wanted to rock from Winnipeg…
As part of our fun chatting with Canadian musicians and legends this spring, we welcomed Derry Grehan of Honeymoon Suite for a visit to discuss the old MTV and Much Music days and a new album, “Wake Me Up When The Sun Goes Down.” Who didn’t love the song and video “New Girl Now”? Time to feel it again…

It’s been quite a few years of change in tone with our visits with guitarist Rik Emmett, whose Triumph music has lived in the vault of classic rock radio for four decades but the band that last toured in 1993 was brought back together again last summer through hockey and the magic power of the music. Now 72, along with Gil Moore and Mike Levine and some great musicians, they’re going back on the road this spring and Nestor has a lot of questions for his Canadian baseball friend and poet about this very unexpected reunion tour.

Two platters so nice that we had to think twice before we included them both in the 27th Anniversary TastyNes countdown. Our concert promoter pal Paul Manna bumped into Nestor at Costas Inn in Timonium and was given the royal treatment of Crab Imperial and Oysters Rockefeller in the new space at the racetrack.
The sign on the door says: ONLY NICE PEOPLE ALLOWED! And somehow Marcella Knight and the awesome folks at Koco’s Pub were still nice enough to allow us to celebrate their 40th Anniversary that required some #TastyNes Koconut Shrimp along on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour from the heart of Lauraville with tales of our favorite things to eat in Baltimore along with our favorite Ko-Host, sports cartoonist Ricig.

When Chip Z’Nuff showed up on local timelines crushing the music of Guns N’ Roses with tribute band Pretty Tied Up last month in Fallston, we knew it was time to relive the magical mystery tour of peace and love and Hammerjacks memories. The new thing is always the best of the old things and Chip returns as the living embodiment of the power of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” – in moderation and not necessarily in that order – to discuss modern touring, his time with Steven Adler and new Enuff Z’Nuff music with Nestor.

Our 27th Anniversary #TastyNes Tour around town brought to you by Curio Wellness as part of our Maryland Crab Cake Tour takes us back to Catonsville and one of the tastiest special occasion treats we can find to splurge on and feel completely self-indulgent in buttery, velvety decadence. The fried lobster tail at The Beaumont is the “other” divine crustacean and is simply perfect in The ‘Ville.
When you have a french bakery and pastry shop this good downtown, you don’t need to jet off to Paris to taste the love. You can eat with your eyes at the counter at Patisserie Poupon on Baltimore Street but don’t sleep on the Gateau Breton. It’s a monster of a cookie!
Thomas Dolby joins Nestor to discuss the music, fashion and passion of David Bowie
If you love music, Live Aid, Todd Rundgren or the children of Baltimore, you’ll love this chat with Thomas Dolby. Always poetry in motion.

The new Costas Inn above the grandstand at the Timonium Racetrack and Fairgrounds is now open and thriving. Pete and Christine tell Nestor the incredible story of their family working to open a second location while mourning the loss of their father and patriarch. Let them tell you why having crabs wasn’t possible at the new location and why they want you to (still) come and see them in Dundalk, too!

It’s not every day that you find a two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Maryland native who went to Towson State. So, when Nestor found out about the incredible story of studio drummer and new age devotee M.B. Gordy, he found a different beat and a new world of information about The Academy and life in California making the modern sounds of success in film and more.
The eighties are coming back this summer! If you remember MTV hits like “Dance Hall Days,” “Let’s Go” and “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” you’ll love this visit with Jack Hues of Wang Chung as he tells Nestor about this summer’s tour with Rick Springfield, John Waite and Paul Young that stops at Wolf Trap Filene Center on July 6th. Still cool on craze…

He still claims the Orioles and the Washington football team as his “home teams” and guitarist Mark Bryan of Hootie and The Blowfish always plays back in the DMV when he rolls solo. But as he tells Nestor, this time it’s something more special and a cool, bigger band coming to The Atlantis in D.C. on Friday night to play some Hootie songs and a wide array of music and influences that keep him off the golf course and jamming.

An extra sharp conversation about “Burger Night” and fun special plates on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Koco’s Pub with Marcella Knight and sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano. Putting cheddar cheese on a crab cake and broiling it over an English muffin? Nestor saw it done deliciously at Burke’s for 30 years in downtown Baltimore and begged Eric and the kitchen to serve it up. With onion rings, of course…
