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.

Singer and songwriter Kendra Erika opens up about the long game behind her chart success—and why her bold new chapter feels like a return home.
With five Billboard Top 10 dance hits to her name, including a No. 1 debut for her modern reimagining of Laura Branigan’s Self Control, Erika could have easily stayed in the comfort of club charts and EDM dominance. Instead, she chose reinvention. Central to her journey was an early agreement with her parents: That she earn a four-year college degree outside music before fully pursuing a performance career. That decision, she says, grounded her in discipline, informed her strategy, and shaped her perspective—tools that later proved essential in navigating the music industry.
Erika speaks candidly about early challenges, including being born without the ability to hear pitch and undergoing years of vocal retraining under German opera coach Gisbert Hoyer. What began as a limitation became a foundation, shaping a vocalist known today for precision and emotional command.
The interview traces her artistic evolution from dance-floor anthems to her upcoming album, License to Thrill: The James Bond Songbook, a cinematic collection drawing on her love for jazz, the orchestra, and the classic American songbook. Inspired by childhood Bond screenings with her father, the project spans multiple Bond eras and reflects Erika’s belief that audiences are craving depth and human connection in an increasingly automated music landscape.
Erika reflects on mental discipline and long-term perseverance, and what works for her to quiet overthinking in favor of forward motion. Her philosophy is simple: preparation meets instinct when you stop hesitating and start moving.
Set for release February 13, followed by a one-night live showcase in Las Vegas, License to Thrill marks a defining arrival for an artist who has spent years building the tools for this moment. As Erika makes clear in conversation, this isn’t a reinvention—it’s the sound of an artist operating in full alignment with her heart.

Joining me is composer Brian Tyler, whose original score for Nuremberg has earned Oscar shortlist recognition and a place on the BAFTA longlist. He joins us as part of our Hollywood Film Composers Series, presented by The Jeremiah Show with Executive Producer Carol Connors.
Brian is an award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist, and conductor with a career spanning more than 100 films and music that has grossed over $17 billion worldwide. In this conversation, we focus on Nuremberg—directed by James Vanderbilt—and the weight of scoring a film that confronts the Holocaust and the trials that followed.
Brian explains why he had to start decades earlier, musically tracing the film's history back to the 1930s before writing a single frame. That process became a six-hour symphonic backstory, shaping themes of memory, justice, and empathy, including difficult choices like incorporating bell tones associated with the camps.
The discussion then turns deeply personal, as Brian shares how completing Nuremberg coincided with surviving a life-threatening double brain hemorrhage—an experience that reshaped how he thinks about time, purpose, and responsibility. It’s a conversation about music as moral witness, and how a score can carry history into the present tense.

In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Grammy-winning guitarist and composer Janet Robin sits down with Jeremiah for a wide-ranging conversation about the moments—and mentors—that shaped her life in music.
Janet shares how guitar became her “security blanket” as a kid, and how studying one-on-one with Randy Rhoades (as his youngest student and the only girl in his class) gave her both technique and confidence—especially his insistence that students develop their own sound.
From her early years playing clubs in L.A. with the all-female band Precious Metal (and the whirlwind of being discovered and signed young), to being handpicked by Lindsey Buckingham for a demanding “guitar army” tour that sharpened her discipline and pushed her toward solo work, Janet traces a career built on hustle, professionalism, and creativity.
She also discusses coaching Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight, the unforgettable story behind the film’s famously smashed vintage Martin, and the full-circle Grammy win with The String Revolution for their instrumental “Folsom Prison Blues” recorded at Cash Cabin with John Carter Cash and guest guitarist Tommy Emmanuel—plus what’s next, including new releases, touring, and a blues project drawing from Library of Congress recordings.

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Alan Ward
Milwaukee-born rapper and songwriter Alan Ward joins The Jeremiah Show New Year's Eve for a candid conversation about craft, identity, and what it really means to build a career the hard way—fully independent, one record at a time.
He’s been called a torchbearer of the golden era of rap, transporting listeners back to the glory days of backpack rap. He’s known for combining modern hip-hop with old-school heart, sharing self-discovery, independence, and perseverance in his powerful lyrical rhymes. He explains how he hears “words as music” and why honest storytelling still matters in an algorithm-driven era.
From growing up in Milwaukee’s sharply divided neighborhoods to his new life in Baltimore, Ward reflects on artistic integrity and the discipline of staying true to himself by avoiding shortcuts in the industry.
The episode closes, premiering Alan Ward’s latest single, “Great Time” featuring 4 The Brotherhood—a new chapter in his evolving sound.
“Rappers like Alan Ward are carrying the torch for Milwaukee, even from outside of the city” — Radio Milwaukee.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Chris Liechty.
*Originally Aired in 2022
Christmas comes early on The Jeremiah Show as we welcome back one of our most requested holiday guests — the sibling trio Girl Named Tom.
Caleb, Bekah Grace, and Joshua return after a whirlwind year on the road, with more than 100 tour dates behind them and a brand-new Christmas album in hand. Their latest release, One More Christmas, sets the tone for a heartfelt conversation about family, faith, music, and what the holidays really mean when you’ve been living out of a suitcase.
Before winning Season 21 of The Voice, all three siblings were on a very different path — including plans for medical school. They formed a band instead, naming it after a childhood nickname Joshua gave his sister, Bekah. Since then, they’ve made history as the first trio ever to win The Voice, built a devoted fanbase, and continued carving out a sound rooted in harmony and honesty.
In this holiday special, we talk about the journey, the sudden fame, life on tour, and the stories behind One More Christmas.
It’s a warm, reflective episode — perfect for the season.

He paid off his first trumpet on layaway, lived in a roofless tool shed in L.A., and never stopped moving forward—David Longoria's story of beating the odds and overcoming life's challenges.
In this episode of The Jeremiah Show (Hollywood Composers Series with executive producer Carol Connors), Jeremiah D. Higgins talks with Grammy-winning trumpeter, composer, producer, and songwriter David Longoria. David shares the true origin story behind his career—growing up in Renton, Washington, raising goats and chickens, learning music through volunteers at the Salvation Army, and earning his first trumpet through a year-and-a-half layaway deal that became his “ticket” out.
David describes busking in Seattle’s public market as a kid, writing letters to public figures long before email existed, and arriving in Southern California at 17 with so little money he lived in a roofless tool shed for three years while building his career. From early gigs to major stages, he explains how hustle, preparation, and community support shaped everything that came next—including film scoring, chart success as a trumpeter in the dance world, and his 2025 Grammy win.
The conversation also covers David’s deep commitment to mentorship, his large-scale “We Are One” project, and his work with Carol Connors on the Grammy-nominated audiobook Elvis, Rocky and Me, narrated by Kathy Garver. It’s a motivating, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a life in music—and how giving back can be part of the mission.

Adrienne Laswell is 14, and she’s building a magazine meant to help her generation think for themselves.
Adrienne Laswell, a young writer, is launching an online magazine called TITLE. Her goal is simple: help teens understand art, music, and culture beyond what social media algorithms keep pushing to the top. Adrienne explains how trend culture works at school and online, why it can feel overwhelming, and how it encourages people to perform an identity rather than live honestly.
The conversation digs into Adrienne’s idea of “constant performative living,” and why she believes it can contribute to anxiety, social pressure, and the breakdown of real connection. She also shares why she’s drawn to philosophy, especially Albert Camus and absurdism, and how those ideas can help young people deal with the search for meaning without feeling trapped by it.
Jeremiah and Adrienne also discuss her writing on modern rap, including her piece on dark or satanic imagery. Adrienne makes a clear distinction between symbolism and literal belief and discusses how controversy, branding, and attention can shape aesthetics in music. Throughout the interview, she comes back to the same point: young people need more perspective, more context, and more room to think.
TITLE is set to launch in early 2026, and Adrienne hopes it becomes a place where teens can discover ideas, learn how to ask better questions, and feel less controlled by the feed.
Keep up with Adrienne Laswell on her X feed: https://x.com/adrienneshutup

“Dedicated with love to Lola and William Bayonas”
Laura Bayonas is a Spanish-born actress, filmmaker, and best-selling author whose creative voice was shaped by the cultural freedom and artistic rebellion of La Movida Madrileña, the post-Franco movement that redefined Spain’s film, music, and art scene.
Her career began remarkably early—she appeared in a TV commercial at age four and, at seven, played her first lead role in the acclaimed short film Correo de guerra (1972), directed by Augusto M. Torres.
Over the decades, she has continued to work across film, theater, and literature, building a body of work rooted in emotionally driven storytelling and character-focused craft. She recently appeared in the FX/Hulu/Disney+ show English Teacher.
In recent years, she directed and produced the Oscar-qualifying short film FAREWELL (completed in 2024) and is currently developing the feature screenplay Upon a Time, a biographical film about her beloved son William Grubb Bayonas, scheduled for 2025–26. Bayonas continues to bridge European cultural history with deeply human, contemporary narratives across multiple creative disciplines.
