Mike Slaski plays guitar in the band "From Nothing". The two of us one time talked about target with Mark Tremonti after he told a venue bartender we were in a band, which got us each a free semi-frozen Bud Light. 

Wyatt Baker is my good friend, Voice actor, and a fellow human who also has a pattern of playing hard to get with his Sweetwater Sound Sales Rep.

Aaron Getchell is back for episode 9. We may have done a warm up round of bummer talk beforehand that will not ever see the light of day. 

This episode is a conversation with my band mate and kindred spirit Mr. Aaron Getchell. This episode was fun one and I can't wait to have Aaron back again on a future episode. 

Waylon K. Smith is a singer/songwriter currently located in Baltimore, Md. In this conversation we discuss our songs of the day, awkward encounters with our musical icons, our shared love of the work of Mr. Kurt Vonnegut, and much more.

Phoenix and I both pick two songs we are currently enjoying and talk nerdy about them.

This week's Backseat Playlist Breakdown will be:

If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall during a Nick Andrew Staver Trio rehearsal then this is the episode for you. But you'd be a fly that wasn't capable of hearing music, in this scenario, since we only talked.

This series is a deep dive into how our encounters with music throughout our lives have impacted us. And how those encounters lead us down the paths that we are currently taking, whether we were aware of it or not. In part two we continue in high school with our music memories and how they shaped us into who we are today.More insightful memories on the coincidences that ended up laying the foundation for what would shape our perspectives and self identities. This time with some obligatory embarrassing high school era recollections.

Once again I'm joined by my good friend, bandmate, and possible co-host Phoenix Johnson. This one kicks off a two part series where the two of us go through our musical autobiographies. A deep dive into how our encounters with music throughout our lives have impacted us. And how those encounters lead us down the paths that we are currently taking, whether we were aware of it or not. In part one we start with our earliest music memories and how they shaped us through middle school. A little bit of everything in this episode, insightful memories on the coincidences that ended up laying the foundation for what would shape our perspectives and self identities. And some obligatory embarrassing middle school recollections.

All this after our initial ramblings of course.
