Chapter 217 - "Too Young To Be A Country Music Star" ...as read by Joey Esquibel of the Velvet Blue Music Podcast

The alternative title for this week’s chapter could’ve been "meeting the right people at the  right time." Joey talks about meeting Travis Zimmerman and how the prospect of working with Jason Martin led him to join Jupiter James and how they became one of Velvet Blue Music’s first signings. That encounter led to Joey playing in Bon Voyage and Starflyer 59. We also talk about Joey’s time in Map and how he almost made it as a country music star in Hank Floyd. Joey recently started the Velvet Blue Music Podcast, a deep dive podcast about the bands and history of VBM.
