Episode Synopsis
Episode 4 of "Do The Secret Monkey", ie. The Secret Monkey Weekend Podcast. As usual, you'll see some Chester and Claudine puppy (Great Pyrenees) face time and interruptions, plus a little talk of our upcoming 2025 album, our second, Lemon Drop Hammer. We discuss our Christmas and allude to the sad beginning to 2025. We also mention some friends of ours, and local bands, artist Kevin Dixon, Zen Frisbee, Shark Quest, The Mad Starlings, Mike Nicholson, and newer friends like The Cowsills, and so on. We also went into the fact that Jefferson has been in 3 - count 'em - 3 - Kinks bands. We also pause and dedicate the podcast to the memory of Jimmy Carter in the outro. Secret Monkey Weekend are a family power pop trio from Durham NC. They have been playing live since sisters Ella and Lila were 13 and 8 years old. Papa Jefferson Hart (Jeff Hart) is a longtime mainstay in the NC Americana music scene. They have recorded two albums with producer Don Dixon (REM - Smithereens), the second one due out in 2025. PBS recently profiled the band. More on that below.
