Tabletop Genesis Episode 76 – Conversation with Dave Kerzner

Author: Tabletop Genesis March 7, 2025 Duration: 1:16:46
Musician, writer, and producer Dave Kerzner joins the Tabletop to discuss the origins of his latest project with his group Sonic Elements, It – A 50th Anniversary Celebration of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

Gather around the table with Simon Godfrey, Stacy Godfrey, Mike Lord, Eli Noetinger, and Tom Roche for Tabletop Genesis. This is a conversation among friends who happen to share a deep, often delightfully absurd, affection for the legendary band Genesis. The tone is set not in a formal studio, but in the easy camaraderie of a shared space, where discussions about intricate song structures can effortlessly spiral into surreal tangents inspired by the band's own lyrical imagery. Each episode of this music podcast delves into the catalog, from early Peter Gabriel-era epics to the chart-topping Phil Collins hits, treating every album and oddity with a mix of genuine analysis and playful reverence. Listeners will hear passionate debates, unexpected connections, and personal stories tied to the music, all filtered through the group's unique dynamic. It’s less a critical dissection and more a celebratory exploration, capturing the fun of discovering shared obsessions. The result is a podcast that feels like joining a lively, informed, and slightly silly listening party, where the sole agenda is to wax poetic about everything from a solitary song to an entire conceptual universe, always with the understanding that talking about Genesis should be as creatively engaging as the music itself.
