Oliver Sean hosts a deep-dive independent music radio interview with Kris and Tony Marino, exploring the stories behind the songs and music that lasts.

Join your host, MTV EMA–nominated and Billboard Top 10 artist Oliver Sean, for a special In Conversation edition of the **WOA FM99 Radio Show—an episode rooted in honesty, lived experience, and the kind of independent music that stays with you long after the broadcast ends.

This week’s show welcomes Kris and Tony Marino of Eggmen Road into the studio for a relaxed yet deeply thoughtful conversation. Originally from Philadelphia and now based in Indiana, their musical journey has been shaped by years spent moving between the East and West Coasts, absorbing a wide range of cultural and musical influences along the way. Those lived experiences—different cities, scenes, and seasons of life—have become a vital part of how they write, play, and tell stories through music.

Across more than four decades, Kris and Tony have forged a creative path that resists easy labels. Their roots trace back to Tony’s Latin jazz and world-music-inspired instrumental compositions, expanding into jazz, blues, and rock influences before more recently embracing country music and narrative-driven songwriting. The result is a sound that feels grounded and intentional—music shaped by real life rather than trends, and storytelling that reflects time spent learning, listening, and evolving.

From the opening moments of the conversation, the chemistry is unmistakable. Oliver Sean’s artist-first approach immediately puts his guests at ease, opening the door for candid reflections on how Kris and Tony first connected, how their sound has evolved over time, and how they’ve navigated an industry that looks very different from when they first started. This is not a surface-level interview; it’s a genuine exchange between musicians who understand the challenges and rewards of staying creative and independent.

One of the emotional anchors of the episode is the spotlight on Eggmen Road’s standout track, I Never Want Our Present To Be Our Past. The song captures a feeling many listeners recognize—the quiet tension between moving forward and holding on to what matters most. Oliver Sean gives the track the space it deserves, highlighting its lyrical honesty and emotional weight, while Kris and Tony share the perspective behind its creation. The discussion deepens the listening experience, turning the song into something personal and relatable.

The conversation then shifts into instrumental territory as Oliver Sean features Tony Marino’s original jazz composition infused with reggae influences. More than a genre crossover, the piece reflects Tony’s rhythmic sensibility and musical curiosity. Hearing the story behind the track as it plays adds another layer of meaning, reminding listeners that instrumental music can be just as expressive and narrative-driven as songs with lyrics.

Throughout the episode, Oliver Sean remains thoughtful and fully engaged—listening closely, asking meaningful questions, and allowing stories to unfold naturally. It’s this balance between conversation and music that has made WOA FM99 a trusted platform for independent artists around the world.

As always, the show also features the Weekly Certified Indie Songs of the Week, spotlighting standout tracks from across the independent scene and celebrating artists who continue to create on their own terms.

This episode is a clear reminder of what independent radio does best: real conversations, meaningful music, and genuine support for artists committed to their craft. Paired with Oliver Sean’s easygoing presence and deep respect for the art form, it’s a broadcast that feels inspiring, authentic, and refreshingly human.
