This week I spoke with not only musicians, but musicians making indie comics! Ryan Holgerson of Slackmatic (and musically, The Modrats), along with returning guests, Levi Erickson (The Big) and Jeff Williams (Supernova Über Alles), sit down for a conversation that leans heavily towards making comics and the comics industry in general (both indie and major), but we do talk music too!

This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music.

This week I travelled to Greensboro, NC, to talk to Bicycle Face about their reunion shows and the reason they came about.

This week I sat down with the band Bog Loaf, at the bar of The Milestone Club in Charlotte NC to talk about their individual and collective musical journeys!

We also talk about touring, his side projects, how punk rock and old age go hand in hand, we have a brief visit from my parents dogs...

New year, new format? Sort of! Gabba Gabba Huh? is back with a tighter, more focused episode for your listening pleasure! This doesn't mean that the longer, artist's journey, style episodes are done, but expect a good mix of the two as I intend to bring you more consistent content for your ears this year! This week, I once again visit with Luke Edwards at his home in Shelby, NC to catch...

Gabba Gabba Huh? is back?! Yes! At least this week! After this, it may (or may not) be next year before I get the ball really rolling again. Hear a little bit about that up front, but I was having microphone issues (causing some audio issues throughout), so some of what I had to say never made it, but you'll get the idea! This week's guest is Ahvid Harris, a local self-described impressi...
