This week, Radio Bob and I are stoked to be hosting "The Nodes!" a Maine-Made bass and guitar duo featuring singer songwriter Mike DeRoche on vocals and guitar and Steve Hamilton on bass.

In this episode, we'll be featuring Mike's original numbers, which capture his songwriting talent, rich vocals, and consciously-minded lyrics.

Mike shares his ideas of living simply, staying close to nature, taking care of the environment, and remaining in the present.

Meanwhile, Steve Hamilton offers a strong and steady bassline to accompany his good friend and co-hort.

Radio Bob: hey Japa, how did you meet these guys, anyway?
Japa: Well, Radio Bob, like 8 years ago, I was hanging out in front of my mom's house at her yard sale in Portland, Maine, and along comes this friendly looking guy and we strike up a conversation and, well, enter Steve Hamilton. Somehow he got a hold of the latest album of "SuperNova", and believe it or not, years later he still has the album, (maybe even actually still listens to it!), thought, "hmmmm, I wonder what that girl is up to now...?" started checking around on the internet and whatdooyahknown, found the Love and Peace Hour with Japa.

Next thing you know I'm hanging out in his basement with Mike DeRoche, live from Falmouth, Maine, broadcasting songs of love and peace.


So here it is: an exciting episode featuring the original songs of Mike DeRoche with Steve Hamilton on bass.

Enjoy!
