Creatives Finding in Plain Sight EP 350

David Singer is an internationally acclaimed clarinetist whose career has included two
performances at the White House and more than 150 appearances in Carnegie Hall.
Joseph Horowitz in The New York Times wrote about David Singer, “To describe his
playing would be to enumerate a catalogue of virtues.”

Mr. Singer’s recording of the Aaron Copland Clarinet Concerto was praised by
Lawrence A. Johnson from Gramophone Magazine in the UK as “one of the finest
accounts around,” and his performances have been featured on the BBC and on Sirius
XM as a principal performer of the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber
Orchestra, NYC.

Professor Singer taught as a guest teacher at both the Yale and Princeton Schools of
Music as well as at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern
California, and is Emeritus Professor of Clarinet/Coordinator of Chamber Music at
Montclair State University, NJ. He continues to coach young musicians across Southern
California and performs with the Singer Chamber Players and the Channel Islands
Chamber Orchestra.

His debut memoir, From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall, chronicles his remarkable journey
of overcoming obstacles and ultimately becoming successful in music and life.
From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall has just been chosen among many ten’s of
thousands of books to be part of the Los Angeles Public Library collection.

“From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall shows how effort and perseverance can turn dreams
into reality.” “This book is a testament to inspiration and resilience.” Diana Lopez,
Readers’ Favorite Five Star Review

A Courageous Story of a Life in Music - This is an excellent view of an inspired life in
the turgid world of classical music in the late 1960’s – 2000’s. Reading of his struggles
and triumphs to reach the top of his field and survive is stirring. Baron, Five Star
Amazon Review

“An intimate, candid look at the highs and lows of one musician’s artistic pursuit.”
Kirkus Reviews

DJ Eric Rhodes discusses hitting it big on social media -- from Idaho. The mashup artist (Tone Loc + New Order?!) now travels the globe to spin, and gets pitched by brands and ad agencies.

DJ Eric Rhodes

"Wade Ronsse is a touring drummer, private drum teacher, session musician, and a small but enthusiastic part of Boise, Idaho's vibrant music scene. He tours nationally with Americana/Jam troubadour Jeff Crosby and has been a part of many (mostly locally) well regarded bands, including Lounge on Fire, Wend, Sun Blood Stories, Freeman Dejongh, and Rider & Rolling Thunder.

This more band-focused drumming has led to creative applications on projects spanning from heavy psychedelic rock, horn-driven R&B, psychedelic to avant-garde harp and string quartet experimental music, all the way to Honkey Tonk Country. His recording career is rooted in a deep appreciation for Boise-based musical creators, resulting in a small but cherished catalog of over 100 recordings with his favorite local musicians, collaborators, and friends. His 2025 record contributions include the surfy/twangy Day for Night with femme-fronted group Cactus Moon as well as the indie/folk and art rock Wait, Sky by Jesse Blake Rundle (released on DOE Records). 

When he's not behind the kit, Wade spends his time working on a small urban farm, taking long walks, reading and learning about mysticism and magick, consuming far too much Star Wars, and, of course, being a forever student of the drums."

Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens…

As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking.

Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes. 

Mediums include: studio art, graphic design, dance, cooking, illustration, creative writing, storytelling, comedy, music composition, music performance, film making, acting, production, fashion design, photography, and more.
