“Music Buzzz is a labor of love for the three of us. We started during the pandemic and as a result we’ve created a strong bond of friendship amongst each other and a connection with our guests who truly, in most cases, are also our peers, said Wilson. “Our goal is to enjoy the conversation and we continue to achieve that. If others enjoy it, then great.”

Season 5, in 2025, wrapped up recently and featured the likes of Howard Jones, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Lou Gramm, Earl Slick, Ian Anderson, Buzz Osborne, Eddie Trunk and more. The podcast will continue throughout ‘26 with another long list of amazing guests.

“This podcast continues to be a great way for me to reconnect with old clients and friends while also having a front row seat to meet and chat with some of my musical heroes. It has been a real treat and I am thrilled to be a part of it,” said Syme.

Season 6 episodes will include another wide range of artists and music executives sharing their stories including the aforementioned Vernon Reid as well as former Gentle Giant frontman and record label exec Derek Shulman, Sword singer Rick Hughes, bassist extraordinaire Matt Bissonette (Elton John, David Lee Roth, Ringo Starr), renowned rock photographer Paul Natkin, Fishbone singer Angelo Moore, guitar virtuoso Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Kansas, Dixie Dregs), Creedence Clearwater Revival bassist Stu Cook, influential Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, legendary Mountain drummer Corky Laing and guitarist Martin Barre of Jethro Tull fame.
