Adam Czeisler & Cole Peterson (SweetWater): From Grunge’s Fringe to New Beginnings
"We’re so lucky to be able to have the privilege of feeling this nervous. Most people don’t get to walk up on stage and, and, and, you know, so enjoy it, embrace it."
In this episode of The Aftershow, hosts Ben Thompson and Bryan Schools sit down with Adam Czeisler and Cole Peterson from SweetWater, a band on the fringes of Seattle’s explosive early '90s music scene. Dive into their journey from the late '80s grunge era, major label contracts, and nationwide tours to the challenges of maintaining a music career in an ever-changing industry. Hear about their friendships with iconic Seattle bands, the highs and lows of major label deals, and the transition from full-time musicians to navigating new careers. They also share insights from their recent reunion, recording new music, and how the internet is reshaping their connection with fans. A nostalgic, honest, and inspiring conversation for anyone curious about the real stories behind the Seattle sound.
