The power of music to heal and connect is real, and we have the stories to prove it. Join us for a captivating episode as we sit down with Dan Lotti and Andrew Hendryx from Dangermuffin. We'll take you on an unforgettable journey from their early days performing in Folly Beach's lively bars to their rise as a nationally touring band. You'll hear firsthand accounts of their exhilarating experiences on the road and the strong community that has flourished around their music. Dan and Andrew share how seven albums and countless gigs have shaped the essence of Danger Muffin's unique sound and spirit.

As the world came to a halt, the band made a heartfelt decision to prioritize health and safety, resulting in a temporary pause. In this episode, they open up about the joy of reuniting and the personal milestones that marked their time apart, including the arrival of new family members. We dive into their creative process, from a writing retreat in Rosman, NC, to recording at the historic Echo Mountain studio in Asheville. Their latest album, entitled 'Dangermuffin', a testament to their passion and resilience, showcases the magical synergy of their creative collaboration and the healing power of their music.

This episode also explores the broader impact of the shut-down on the music industry, the vital role of venue staff, and the evolving dynamics of social media. Discover how authenticity in music and online presence can forge meaningful connections, and hear about the transformative experiences that have influenced their work, including an unforgettable ayahuasca journey.
