On January 13, we’re setting aside the noise and the hype for something more meaningful.
This special radio episode is dedicated to the life, music, and memory of Justin Baren—a founding member of The Redwalls, whose presence and creative spirit helped shape a sound that still resonates deeply with so many of us today.
Rather than a traditional feature, this broadcast is a remembrance.
Joining the conversation are Ryan Manda, David Skaff, and Matthew Graham, who will share stories, reflections, and moments that honor Justin not just as a musician, but as a friend, collaborator, and human being. These are the kinds of stories that don’t always make it into liner notes—but stay with you for a lifetime.
I’ll also be part of the episode (J. Edmond), helping guide a space rooted in respect, gratitude, and love for what Justin gave to the music community and to those closest to him.
This episode isn’t about reliving loss—it’s about celebrating impact. It’s about acknowledging how music connects us across time, and how Justin’s work continues to do exactly that.
We invite listeners to join us on January 13 to listen, remember, and honor a life that mattered. Tune in at 12pm ET here (just hit that button under text at top)
Sometimes the most powerful radio moments are the quiet ones.
