The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.

episode 384: Wanna Come Backstage? (Brook & The Bluff @FareWell Fest)
On this Fairwell Fest conversation, I sat down with The Band The Brook And The Bluff. Unlike most episodes, on this one I'm talking to the WHOLE BAND! These Fairwell Fest episodes are recorded in the "green room area' of the festival and it is a much different environment than I'm accustomed to, and I was running around like a maniac for the whole weekend. So you'll notice the vibe is slightly different, but not in a bad way...

episode 382: Creating By Committee? - Taylor Larson of Mixwave
Does producing music work when there are a significant number of "cooks in the kitchen?" Can more brains on a project lead to a better outcome? Or does the result become a shadow of the former concept? Taylor and I dive into all of that, plus some REALLY exciting updates from the land of Mixwave, we talk in depth about his recent obsession with vintage guitars, "in-the-box" vs "out-of-the" box mixing, and a whole lot more!

episode 380: "I Don't Wanna Play Acoustic Guitar Dad..." w/ Spilly Cave
Spilly Cave is a fantastic guitarist, composer, video creator, and as it turns out... an EXCELLENT conversationalist. I met Spilly (Billy) through him becoming a Stringjoy artist, and just loving the music he makes after I discovered it. This dude spent multiple years posting videos EVERYDAY before he actually gained traction publicly, and we discuss his mindset/approach during that timeframe. He's not a serious gear head, but he has developed a VERY unique sound nonetheless...
