Seth MacFarlane Talks with Liz Gillies on the Talkhouse Podcast

Golden Apples is a prolific group of musicians formed and heralded by singer and songwriter Russell Edling. Shooting Star, their fourth album, is a sprawling new work packed to the brim with playful eccentricities and dynamism, one that owes as much of its inspiration to mid-century folkies like Michael Hurley and Karen Dalton as it does to alt rock of the ‘90s like Yo La Tengo and Stereolab. Shooting Star is out now on Lame-O Records.

A fixture in New York’s experimental and indie scenes, Boshra AlSaadi has performed internationally with acts like TEEN and Janka Nabay &amp; the Bubu Gang, blending visual art, anti-folk, and diasporic storytelling into her music. Born in Damascus and raised in Pennsylvania, she came up through NYC’s East Village anti-folk scene while at Cooper Union, co-founded Looker (Serious Business Records), toured globally, and performed at Bonnaroo and the Kennedy Center.
After being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy in her 30s, AlSaadi turned inward, transforming her experiences into deeply personal songwriting and production. She has collaborated with NYC artists including Jennifer Vanilla and Jason McMahon, and produced records for AJ Lambert. Now based in Los Angeles, she brings her full creative force, musician, songwriter, producer, visual artist, into SAADI.
