  • Blanco turns to Superstar (Superstar formerly A.D. BLANCO BAND!)
    Nov 13 2025

    Welcome to AthCastMusic: The Music of Athens, GA Now and Then. I'm Marlene Sokol Stewart, and this is my Podcast.

    I've been M.I.A. in Athens lately due to my very big remodeling project at my house. Whew, it's kind of sucked the life out of me. My husband and I are freaking exhausted. But we got a lot done the last few days and the light is getting brighter. There will be a lot of good things that come out of this project. If we live through it! I'll be talking about it every now and then on the show as it will eventually be fun to talk bout it rather than bitch about it all of the time!

    But speaking of talking, my guests today are. Aaron White and Bennett Evans of SUPERSTAR, formerly the band A.D. Blanco.

    These guys started playing together when they were still in middle school, hitting iconic Athens spots like the Caledonia and 40 Watt before they were even old enough to drive. They’ve built their sound from the huge support of the Athens Community of mentors, role models, and other young musicians all learning from each other. Along with places like NUCI SPACE, where musicians could get together to jam, write, record, practice as so much more.

    Aaron White and Bennett Evans are now turning the page with the name change SUPERSTAR, and the new song " All Mine," I spoke with Aaron and Evan about these changes as well as some of the things that led up to this rebirth of their band.. We also talked about how they are creating and exploring new ways to express their musical personality.

    This is me talking to Aaron and Bennett

  • The World is Filled with Ishues! (Ishmael Cuthbertson aka Ishues)
    Oct 30 2025

    Welcome back to AthCastMusic — the music of Athens Ga Now and Then

    Today, we’re talking with Ishues — rapper, mentor,Athens Walk of Fame recipient and community leader — whose story runs deeper than beats and rhymes. Born Ishmael Cuthbertson, Ishues has been a powerful voice in the Athens hip-hop scene, proving that this city’s sound is just as rich and diverse as its people.

    • In the 2000s, Ishues toured extensively, including in South Africa, but he chose to take a hiatus from music in 2009 to focus on his family and faith.
    • During his time away from music, he became a social worker and mentor to youth.
    • In 2019, he returned to the hip-hop scene and has since released several new projects.

    I had Ish on my initial list of guests I would like to have on AthCastMusic. I am not really sure how come it never happened. Then I met him at the 2025 Indie Con. I was a panelist, and he was a performer at the event. I got to sit down with him briefly but in those few minutes, I felt like I had been shot with an arrow in my heart, that released kindness, gentleness and warmth. I even asked him, what’s happening here? I felt such a strong spiritual connection with him. I asked him with no hesitance; will you be on my podcast. He answered with no hesitance as well and said, I’d love to be on your Podcast.

    Ishues and I talked real life trials and tribulations. heartbreak and higher powers that lifted him through is life. This podcast is one for the books. Here's my conversation with Ishues.
