Backyards & Bevvies

This was a great day of recording in Bart’s studio/basement and it was a blast. We talk about everything from his days working for a record label to writing with some of the greatest songwriters in Nashville, TN. Bart is a funny man who, like I said before, loves Iron Maiden and rock but is a total lover of the great genre that is country music. Bart has worked with everyone from the Dixie Chicks,...

PK and BK briefly discuss how their goals are going before PK describes how he has gotten better in a few ways but how he has fallen back in others. They both then go on to discuss what you put in your mind first thing in the morning can help you to overcome the day. In most cases social media plays a huge part in our daily lives and if you are looking at only the bad or ugly of the world it can w...

  Juan was born in a tiny town in Mexico and has lived a life that most could not even imagine. He took hard times as a kid and turned them into a swiss army knife of knowledge he uses today. When I say he uses this knowledge to this day you have to hear this episode to see what I mean! For example, he has a one inch catfish he is keeping alive in his homemade ecosystem fish tank thanks to his kno...

We had a technical glitch that made us lose the video for this interview but this was such a great interview that we did not want to just throw it away. So if you are watching this we hope you enjoy an hour+ of awesome tour photos Derek and I have taken or been a part of for almost a decade. If you are listening to this podcast, first of all thank you but you should do yourself a favor and go watc...

OK here is our take on this (you can believe or not or just laugh)… are there weird things that happen daily and strange moments that can make you go hmmmmmmm? Sure! We are using this episode to look at a few random conspiracies that PK thinks are funny, a little ridiculous and one PK can only laugh at. PK stumbled upon a conspiracy that he had never heard of which then led to a way longer and, in...

Jump into this fun Breweries and Bevvies episode where these two fall right into conversation like they never missed a beat from talking for hours before and after shows during their time on the road. Zeus and PK travel down memory lane and also discuss the awesome move Zeus did one snowy day in Nashville where he raised well over $1,000 for the MusiCares (music cares) charity (link below). The tw...

In this interview PK focuses on who he stood next to for so many years and just where Jared came from. PK has always looked up to Jared for inspiration as a father and as an individual so instead of just talking about shows they have done PK puts time into this episode about how Jared became the man and father he is today. Not only is Jared a talented musician he is also a top notch front of house...

This is the big episode you all have been waiting for! PK dives into some of the major artists he has had the opportunity to travel around the world with and fulfilled a dream that started almost 2 decades before! This is a fun one with lots of memories, laughs and even a little sentimental value. BK starts the episode off by listing some of the artists PK has worked for over his 15 years in the c...

PK continues his journey discussing his first job/career in the music business and how it was not all glitz and glamor like so many might think. It was full of long days in pretty stressful environments but that was just the start. Coming up in a business that is strongly built on executing perfectly in a high-stress scenario some days makes learning and trusting your teacher hard when you are jus...

On this episode PK discusses starting fresh in Florida and how going back to school was not an easy task but he did it. Through this episode PK brings up topics that most people struggle with when trying to make changes but shows you that with small steps you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. The tale started in San Antonio with PK as a line cook at the world famous Hooters restaurant and...

PK and BK have both worked in the music industry (on opposite sides of the business) for over a decade. While BK still is in the music management side, PK has started over and in this episode BK asks PK a pretty big question right from the get go which sparks this multi-parts talk. PK starts the journey in El Paso and, in this episode, ends with him making it to Florida to start a new scary advent...

Adam and PK start the show off with a little banter about how Adam got into the music business, his first job in Nashville and who one of his first roommates in Music City was (you will never guess but he is a super star). Adam’s tale of how he got his start is awesome but where he has taken his career is even more dope! The two jump into how Adam and a couple country music superstars, in writing...

We have always had people to look up to in life, from great athletes to great musicians, but never has there been a way to access media and information the way you can now. The game is changing and younger and younger people are pushing the boundaries of what is great! Not everyone is destined to go into medicine or even be a chef, but nowadays you can start as one thing and flip the script one hu...

This episode is almost 30 years in the making and neither one of these guys probably ever thought they would be in PK’s backyard drinking fine tequila talking about their wild lives growing up in El Paso, TX, traveling the world and now being fathers. Now this episode is a good one so we don't want to give too much away in the notes, but PK and Neal have been friends for a long time so obviously t...

PK and BK never thought about this topic until recently when they wanted to change things about their daily routine and there is no better time than the new year to make a change. This is at least what most people think but why do so many fail when it comes to resolutions? PK discusses the change in his mind that happened to him when he started to use the word goal and how setting goals actually s...

There is not much to say other than THANK YOU ALL for making Season One such a fun and joyful experience. There is still so much to bring to the table with interviews, more real topics and more laughs. Looking back on it all PK and BK share some sad moments but also some great laughs they were able to have discussing their lives with the listeners. BK shares some of her favorite memories with PK a...

The conversation starts off with their love of tattoos and punk rock music which is how they bonded right away on tour. To this day, they share music and even old punk rock videos with each other that they find. They go into PK’s days on the road with Green Day and how awesome that energy was and how epic some of these older punk rock bands are live! Cal surprises PK with one of his favorite bevvi...

Kiersen starts the show with a great bevvy from Eastern Asia. This is a great moment in the B&B world because one of the main points of the show is to introduce our listeners to new drinks, experiences, and ways of thinking. Kiersen is from Pennsylvania originally but lives down in Nashville with her fiance, who PK has toured with and is the reason why our paths have crossed. They dive into some f...

BK explains to him about her days of being a MASSHOLE, aka a resident of Massachusetts, and her days of working at Hard Rock and how Dunkin for sure helped her during some long days being a bartender. Then PK goes on an interesting talk about what it is like to work in TD Garden as a traveling roadie and what a typical roadie’s day is like… so when those days were long Dunkin helped him make it th...

PK and BK dive right into the holidays and family and the stress that both of them can put on someone. The biggest discussion of the last few weeks was how we can give back to the listeners. How do we create a healthy lifestyle as adults? PK starts to break down four key things in his life that he battles with: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. There is a hard and bad cycle that yo...

Troy has been in the music business for quite a long time but he did not start there. Troy goes into pretty cool detail about how he made the climb to success in the music industry as well as how he got into some pretty awesome adventures along the way! I would say that from our days of touring with Florida Georgia Line we had our ups and downs and even butted heads about how we thought the show s...

Nate is a fellow roadie who I toured with on Justin Timberlake, Florida Georgia Line and many other high profile one time shows. We were able to travel around the world and experience all the food, drinking and culture that so many cities offer. In this episode we explore not only a few things from our times on the road but also Nate's new life being a farmer, ok, maybe not a full on farmer but he...

Although we talk about some silly things in the beginning this episode also deals with true life emotions. For example, thinking you might have made it out of a situation ok only to discover many times that you still have a pretty long way to go to dig your way out of that hole. Many more hours need to be poured into changing and rewriting what might have looked easy but actually needs a few more...

PK and BK had a couple weeks of PK-only interviews but that did not mean life was not moving full steam ahead at home, which left PK in a weird state of happiness mixed right alongside some depression and anxiety. Two things most anyone breathing can relate to. Even if you rarely deal with these things there are for sure a few topics sprinkled inside that you might be able to relate to and who kno...

Tom is not only one of the nicest people I have had the chance to tour with but he is a bourbon drinking, bass playing, father who also understands how to help people with their finances as a financial advisor. We dive into where Tom is from, where he got his start playing music, and some of his first jobs before we get into the nitty gritty of money and how he can be of service to you. We also ta...
