For this special Mother’s Day episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah sits down with the person who shaped his life more than anyone else — his mom, Franny Higgins.
What begins as a conversation about growing up on the Santa Barbara Mesa unfolds into a deeply personal story about love, family, hardship, creativity, motherhood, and finding beauty in ordinary moments. Franny reflects on meeting her husband Terry during the counterculture era of the late ’60s, raising three children across the Pacific Northwest, and eventually creating the warm, nature-inspired world of Franny Annie’s Childcare — a place that has nurtured more than 50 children over the last two decades.
Together, Jeremiah and Franny revisit memories of Shoreline Park, homemade bread, hitchhiking to Oregon, raising children in cabins and farm country, and learning how to hold onto hope through grief and loss. The episode becomes a meditation on resilience, gentleness, and the quiet lessons mothers teach simply by the way they live.
One of the most powerful moments comes when Franny reflects on aging and her early morning walks through Santa Barbara:
“My world… it is so rich. It’s filled with trees. I could spend a lifetime exploring every branch that breathes, every bird that sings.”
This is a heartfelt conversation about memory, family, and the people who shape us forever.

On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, rising artist Hunter Hawkins shares the story behind her debut EP Phase—a deeply personal project shaped by change, independence, and self-discovery.
Hunter takes us through the evolution of the record, from writing her first songs after a transformative experience at a songwriting festival in Hawaii to navigating uncertainty during the pandemic. Along the way, she opens up about stepping away from expectations, leaving behind the pressure to fit into a mold, and learning to trust her own voice.
Each song on Phase captures a moment in time—family dynamics, emotional growth, and the process of rebuilding a sense of self. Hunter describes her writing as “photographs,” snapshots of where she was in that moment, giving the EP a cinematic, story-driven feel.
We also talk about her work as a filmmaker, her short film Window, and how storytelling extends beyond music into everything she creates.
This is a conversation about identity, creativity, and what it means to move forward without a script.
Listen now to hear the full story behind Phase and discover one of the most compelling new voices in indie music.

A true story of love, music, and the long road back to yourself.
In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah talks with author Debora Masterson about her book Freedom Quest, a true story rooted in the 1960s music scene. It begins with a young love between two artists and follows a life shaped by touring, ambition, and unexpected turns. As the story unfolds, we are witness to how music, identity, and personal choices shape the direction of two lives.
Debora shares the real story behind the book, including the rise of a gifted musician, his struggle with control and loss of identity, and the path back to clarity and each other. This conversation explores the search for freedom at any stage of life. If you’re interested in music history, personal growth, and true love stories, this episode brings all three together.

From an Oregon vineyard to Santa Barbara’s hottest new restaurant, Chef Dom Crisp shares a journey shaped by the land, discipline, and chasing a deeper purpose beyond the kitchen.
On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah sits down with Chef Dom Crisp, the chef behind Dom’s Taverna in Santa Barbara. Raised on a farm in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Dom learned early to respect the land — a mindset that still guides his cooking today.
He shares his journey from early kitchen days cooking through France, where he embraced a style built on Basque cooking: simplicity, seasonality, and great ingredients.
Now in Santa Barbara, Dom is building a restaurant rooted in local seafood, live-fire cooking, and a high-energy dining experience that brings people together.
At the center of it all is something personal — how becoming a father reshaped his priorities, and why he wants to be known not just as a great chef, but as a good dad.

Jeremy Keith is stepping into his moment on The Voice, but his journey has been years in the making.
In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremy shares what it feels like to move from a longtime background vocalist into the spotlight as a solo artist. After more than two decades in the music industry, his blind audition marked a turning point—one that challenged him to see himself differently and fully embrace his voice and identity as an artist.
Jeremy opens up about the mindset shift that came with standing alone on stage, the validation of having multiple coaches turn their chairs, and the confidence he gained from their belief in him. He also reflects on the importance of self-trust, stepping out of comfort zones, and why this chapter is about not letting himself down.

On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah welcomes Sean Mendelson and Jason Mendelson to explore the legacy and ongoing story of one of television’s most beloved cultural treasures: Peanuts.
As the sons of legendary producer Lee Mendelson, Sean and Jason grew up around the creative partnership that brought Charles M. Schulz’s characters to life on screen, together they continue the family’s role in preserving and expanding that legacy. In this conversation, they share personal memories of the early days of the Peanuts specials, the creative collaboration with Charles Schulz and composer Vince Guaraldi, and the enduring impact of these timeless stories. It’s a warm and thoughtful look at the people behind the animation, the music, and the spirit that has connected generations of audiences to Charlie Brown and his friends.

Larry Vigon built his name at the center of rock history, designing more than 200 iconic album covers for artists including Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Counting Crows, Bonnie Raitt, and Eric Clapton, earning induction into the Album Cover Hall of Fame in 2020. Today, the Santa Barbara-based designer and fine artist channels that same visual instinct into books, posters, and gallery work, all of which are shaped by decades of curiosity, music, and image-making.
David Ellis began as a studio session musician, playing drums for Eric Carmen, Tom Snow, and B.B. King and Charles Brown. He moved towards a career in photojournalism before moving into environmental and fine art photography. His award-winning series Lobospheres earned international recognition, including a 2025 Gold Award at the Japan International Art Exchange in Tokyo, and reflects his evolution into photographic expressionism—reshaping coastal landscapes into emotional terrain that complements Vigon’s design-driven sensibility and underscores a long friendship rooted in shared creative curiosity.
Their new Santa Barbara exhibition weaves together Aquean, Flotsam & Jetsam, and Ellis’ Lobospheres into a meditation on California’s coastline as both subject and metaphor. Through large-scale prints, dimensional collage, found objects, and expressionist photography, the ocean becomes archive and eraser—holding memory even as it signals impermanence. At the center is Point Lobos, where Ellis’ mythic forms emerge from tar-streaked stone against the stark reality of rising sea levels, while the broader collection drifts between permanence and loss, beauty and erosion. The result is a show that feels both reverent and urgent, asking viewers to reconsider what endures—and what may soon vanish—along the Pacific edge.
OPENING: THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 4:30-6:30 pm
ARTIST’S TALK: THURSDAY, APRIL 16, Reception 6:15 pm, Talk begins at 7:00 pm.

Los Angeles’ own Golda Zahra steps into 2026 with momentum and purpose.
After four sold-out concerts in 2025, the soprano — praised by the Los Angeles Times as “the rising star of the opera world” — takes the stage March 8 at Royce Hall for NOWRUZ: LIGHT ALWAYS PREVAILS, presented by Farhang Foundation. She joins the legendary Parissawith the Iranshahr Orchestra in a 40-piece performance honoring the Persian New Year and International Women’s Day — a night centered on renewal, cultural pride, and the belief that light endures.
This milestone performance arrives as Golda prepares to release her debut album, GOLDA ZAHRA FREE, produced by Steven Mercurio and recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Beginning March 1, singles and cinematic videos will roll out ahead of the full album release in October 2026. The title reflects artistic independence and emotional clarity — a young soprano defining what her voice represents on a global stage.
Her first single, Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro” from Gianni Schicchi, arrives March 13 — her birthday — marking both a personal and artistic rebirth. With disciplined training and a deep connection to her multicultural heritage, Golda Zahra is not simply emerging; she is declaring who she is and where she is headed next.

On California’s Central Coast, composer, producer, designer, and engineer Graham Palmer has built his career around one core idea: sound should serve the story.
A graduate of UC Santa Barbara (B.A. in Film and Media Studies, minor in music) and Berklee College of Music (M.A. in Music Production), Palmer moves fluidly between records, radio, film, theater, and live performance, shaping projects from the inside out with a storyteller’s instinct and a musician’s ear.
Before stepping behind the console as a producer, Palmer spent much of his early adult life on the road as a touring musician with the Mad Caddies, performing in more than 30 countries and contributing to a catalog that has sold over 500,000 albums worldwide. The experience sharpened his sense of collaboration and improvisation—skills that now inform his production work at Surprise Studio, the creative space he built in 2021. There, he composes original music, produces artists, and designs immersive sound for screen and stage, including his recent score and sound design for UC Santa Barbara Theatre Department’s production of Animal Farm, directed by Sara Rademacher.
Palmer is also celebrating the release of Blood Waves EP, a new project created with bandmate Jordan Dalrymple under the name Redacted Choir.
LISTEN - Redacted Choir Blood Waves EP
Whether he’s engineering a podcast, scoring a short film, or producing a full-length album, Palmer keeps the process focused and collaborative. “Whether it’s a podcast, a short film, a live show, or a full album,” he says, “I try to keep the process fun, and rooted in good storytelling.”

“Things as they are, are changed on the blue guitar.”
The Hollywood Film Composers Series
Presented by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors
Hall of Fame songwriter and Six-time GRAMMY® winner, Hall of Fame songwriter, and producer Glen Ballard shares insights into his illustrious career, discussing his roots in Natchez, Mississippi, the art of songwriting, and his collaborations with iconic artists like Alanis Morissette and the Dave Matthews Band. He reflects on the creative process, the importance of daily discipline in writing, and the challenges of navigating the music industry. Ballard also touches on his current projects, including Broadway adaptations and new music, emphasizing the significance of live performance in today's music landscape.
Now, Ballard’s attention keeps tilting toward the stage. Live presentation, he believes, is where music is headed—real voices, real risk, no digital buffer. It’s the same idea he’s carried from Natchez to Hollywood to Broadway: show up, protect the spark, and let the song tell the truth.

“I realized I was working with many, many different cultures… all this culture was coming into my studio.”
The Hollywood Film Composers Series
Presented by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors
~
Cyril Morin has built a career on a rare skill: finding humanity’s musical score in the distance in between.
The Paris-born, Conservatoire-trained composer—featured on The Jeremiah Show as part of the Hollywood Film Composer Series with executive producer Carol Connors—has scored films that move across borders, languages, and belief systems without losing emotional clarity. His music doesn’t “tour” cultures. It listens and then finds the bridge.
Morin’s credits include The Syrian Bride and Zaytoun, as well as his immersive work on Samsara—projects that ask the same question in different settings: how do people stay connected when the world pulls them apart? Morin’s answer starts with the theme.
That ethic extends beyond the studio. Morin spoke candidly about choosing projects with intention—turning down films that feel violent “for no reason,” or stories that don’t align with his vision of the world. His guiding value, he said, is freedom: the inner kind that lets an artist say yes, say no, and change course without fear of the latter.
Now, his output keeps expanding. He’s scoring a documentary about the sport of cricket, writing a new book, and continuing to explore music outside film—including his latest release with his band SUPERCREATIVE by CYMO (a Crew of Pals & Jammers) and the career-spanning collection 25 Years Soundtracks.
Through it all, Morin returns to a simple identity: storyteller first, and the composer as the language he uses to tell it.

The Hollywood Film Composers Series
Presented by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors
Composer Zain Effendi’s résumé sounds unreal when read aloud—GRAMMY®-nominated for Best Instrumental Composition for his piece “Opening,” a Hollywood Music in Media Awards standout, and the composer behind music now playing perpetually inside Walt Disney theme parks worldwide.
What stands out most, however, is how grounded Zain is in his work.
His musical path traces back to childhood, when he became obsessed with the film scores of Hans Zimmer. He recounts a true “drop everything” moment: a sudden job opportunity with Hans Zimmer that led him to leave college, board a red-eye to Los Angeles the same day, and begin working at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions. The years that followed were defined by intense pressure and exacting standards—where perfection wasn’t optional, but formative.
From there, Zain describes the leap from studio life to conquering the fear of going solo. He reflects on the sacrifices required to accept large-scale theme park commissions and the obsessive creative process that shaped his Epcot Test Track symphonic suite—music he approached as a ’90s blockbuster, not “theme park music.”
The interview also reveals the human side of Zain: the family voices that pull him back from perfectionism when he needs it, his lifelong love of Disney, and his growing commitment to animal rescue and welfare. The episode closes with the full performance of “Opening,” a sweeping orchestral work infused with modern energy.
It’s easy to understand why Zain Effendi’s music has found its way so deeply into people’s lives.
