Above The Basement was a Boston-based podcast featuring casual, candid discussions with local, national, and international musicians, artists, producers, and others from Boston and beyond.
Hosted by founder Chuck Clough and Ronnie Hirschberg, the conversations offered experiences from those shaping our music community and for whom music is a passion. You hear their stories, the hardships they faced and overcame...and why they love what they do.
While music was the common thread, Above The Basement evolved into conversations that harness human interest, culture, and community, bridging into discussions about health, science, education, and other aspects of life.
We bridged topics like the environment with Eagles songwriter and drummer Don Henley, mindfulness with singer-songwriter Jewel, social justice with the amazing organization Boston Children’s Chorus, and healing with Mary Gauthier through the wonderful program SongwritingWith:Soldiers.
We also spoke with highly acclaimed local artists and organizations, including Keith Lockhart, Blue Man Group, Sally Taylor, Jennifer Kimball, Moe Pope, and Alastair Moock, about their personal missions.
In 2020, we were proud to win Podcast of the Year at the Boston Music Awards.
Our guests were truly special, and ATB is honored to be part of their journey and help them tell their story.
The podcast was shuttered around 2021… but who knows what the future holds….
