  • 12 - Joel Cummins (Umphrey's McGee)
    For this episode I spoke with Joel Cummins, keyboardist for the band Umphrey’s McGee.

  • 11 - Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds)
    For this episode I spoke with Kim Wilson, founder and lead singer of the band The Fabulous Thunderbirds. We discussed his solo album “Blues And Boogie, Volume 1”, his philosophy that “imperfection is perfection”, and how he never creates a set list for concerts but instead chooses songs based on the vibe of the audience. By the way, Kim called in for this interview while walking the grounds of a mission in California, hence the voices and noises you will hear in the background.

  • 9 - Ben Sesar (Brad Paisley)
    For this episode I spoke with Ben Sesar, drummer for country artist Brad Paisley. Admittedly this discussion gets kind of deep, but Ben had some fascinating insights. We discussed how he utilizes and plays to whatever feelings he is having from moment to moment, his ability to play in sync with and predict where Paisley will go -- even during improvised solos, and his concerns about the music audience of the future and their ability to appreciate nuance.
