- Season 2

You may not know their names, but you know their sounds–Side Player Stories is back for Season 2. And–it's better than ever. In this weekly series, musician and WUCF FM producer Jesse Morgado gets an in-depth look inside the lives of professional musicians. Side Player Stories offers fast-paced and fun conversations with musical guests who are “side players”–artists including the queen of Percussion Sheila E. (Prince, Ringo Starr, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Stevie Nicks), bassist and tubist Freebo (Bonnie Raitt, Crosby Stills and Nash, Spinal Tap), trumpeter Dontae Winslow (Justin Timberlake, Dr. Dre, Eminem) and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz, Santana, Ron Carter, Joss Stone) whose unique talents and musical abilities create opportunities to make their living playing for many different bands. A new segment puts their musical ear to the test. With deep dives into their history, we uncover the nitty-gritty, leaving even the guests themselves wondering how we did it. Season 2 premieres on July 7.
