Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of the Local Open Mic podcast! In this first episode of season 2, we talk with Kevin Kelly. Kevin, is a well-known and highly regarded producer/recording engineer and musician in the New York City area. Among his credits is recording the earliest known demo by Blondie, that\'s right, Blondie and it is from 1975! Four out of the five demo songs went to Gold Record status and yes, they were the versions he recorded with the band. He has worked with many of the best artists from the 70\'s and 80\'s, recording live performances with Hall and Oats, Billy Joel, The Police, Edgar Winter and many more. Many of these recordings made it to the artist\'s \'live\' album/cd releases. He was the bass player in several successful bands in the 70\'s, even touring with the Bee Gees throughout eastern Canada in 1974. By 1989 he changed gears and turned to teaching, becoming a tenured professor at a local Long Island college. Twenty five years later and about five minutes after retiring, Kevin launched a studio again, The Workshoppe East. He will talk about all of these things and the never before heard stories behind five songs we\'ll be playing in this interview.
