The Current Presents: Facemelter

A little over 2 and a half years ago, Jill Riley and Brett Baldwin posted the first episode of a podcast called Facemelter. It was a little experiment for an online-only program that focused on guitarists, gear and amazing solos.

And the crowds went wild. Well, OK, there were no crowds, but a respectable amount of positive feedback rolled in. Poring over the fan mail — and their record collections — Brett and Jill chose some solos and kicked out (the jams on) 12 more episodes.

They had every intention of picking back up where we left off... but things just weren't the same. Our schedules were tough to manage. Jill became a big-time morning show DJ. Brett started listening to jazz and soft-rock... and that's when Facemelter hit rock bottom.

This spring, The Current's Assistant Music Director David Safar proposed these gems be dusted off and played on the radio, and who can argue with logic like that? "The Current Presents" is the perfect venue for it. So this Sunday August 29th at 9 p.m. all 13 original episodes will grace the airwaves for the first time. Tune-in and feel the burn.
