The Average from Bel Air, MD came and bought a pair of my Yeezys from me after talking about their tours, their musical influences, their favorite places to play, and whether it’s okay to still listen to Brand New.

Chilled fat with the strapping lads of Grand Rapids’ finest, Pretoria and Anonymous Phone Call. We didn’t solve every world issue during this episode, but we came damn close. Stick around til the end to hear TWO (count ’em) TWO acoustic performances! And per usual, perk your ears up at the beginning for upcoming show announcements from Outta This World Booking and Church Street B...

Episode 8 is a special episode recorded on site at the Scheme 13 Festival in Ferndale Saturday, 6/8/19. The episode features the heads of the Scheme Team Pat and Kyle, as well as brief interviews with members of Space Cadet/Ghost House Detroit, Aperture, Jenn’s Apartment, Paper Lanterns, and probably more that I can’t remember currently! This episode is a bit choppy , as I recorded fro...

Chilled with Mike and Stan from Summerbruise and talked about musical influences, girlfriends/band managers, being scatterbrained, Mike’s unique live set up, and much more. Mike was brave enough to share a rather unfortunate tale of woe from the road that you won’t want to miss, and then the band graced my bedroom with yet another great acoustic performance. Thanks for listening and be...

Sat down with Jeremy and Mitch of the alternative indie rock duo Painted Friends.

As always, please rate and review the podcast, subscribe, and share with your...

Chilled for a while with Kevin Rice who is the guitarist and lead singer of Follyball and the guitarist in Lame, both from Nashville, TN.

Didn’t have a band scheduled for this week, so I figured I’d do a solo episode from my grandparents’ house and talk a bit about why I started the podcast, how I got into the DIY scene, the origins and current state of my band In a Daydream, and whatever else flowed through my stream of consciousness. I play an acoustic version of a new In a Daydream song, “Overspender,&#822...

Had a solid conversation with Colin Haggerty from Ship & Sail. Sorry about the noise later on in the episode, had some “technical difficulties” that went unnoticed until after we finished the whole thing. We’re learning as we go, friends. DIY! Air date: 5/6/2019.

It’s the first episode! I had the pleasure of chilling with Past Life from Philadelphia, PA. We talked in the basement of a house show about half hour after I met these guys. We drank PBRs and became BUDS! Enjoy and subscribe on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher Radio, and Pocket Casts! Air date: 4/13/2019.
