61. Shawn Eckels (Andy Frasco & The U.N., Evil Dave)
Today's guest is touring guitarist and songwriter, Shawn Eckels. He's perhaps known best in the Colorado scene as the longtime touring guitarist in Andy Frasco & The U.N. (Note: Andy Frasco was on episode 43 of this podcast, and their day-to-day manager, Brody Danger was on episode 9 and 57). Aside from his work with the U.N., Eckels has been making a name for himself as a touring artist since the 90s when he traveled the country with his Springfield, Missouri based group, Speakeasy. That band played the first Wakarusa Festival and toured with the likes of Umphrey's McGee and JJ Grey & Mofro. He also recently started a power trio with Colorado mainstays Todd Smallie (Derek Trucks, JJ Grey & Mofro) and Shaun Gilmour.
In our conversation, we chat about his experiences on the road and his collaborations as a songwriter. Shawn also mentions taking therapy through the non-profit organization, Backline, which connects music industry professionals and their families with a trusted network of mental health and wellness providers. If this is of interest to you or anyone in your network, go to backline.care for more info.
