Freddie Katz: From Hell’s Kitchen to Center Stage

Staci’s guest is Freddie Katz, an NYC-based guitarist, songwriter, producer, and engineer—to name just a few of the things he does in the world of music. He’s been immersed in the punk music scene his whole life, and he’s seen it all from Max’s Kansas City’s heyday to working with new and emerging rock artists—we get to listen to some of his recent collaborations with Michael Imperioli (Zopa), Jonathan Spottiswoode (“Chet & Johnny”), Donna Destri (her new single dedicated to Anne Rice), and Marni Kim (“Waves”). Freddie shares his thoughts on The Velvet Underground, Blondie, Johnny Thunders, Lou Reed, and much more.
