Brett Bass is the lead singer and guitarist for bluegrass/outlaw country band, Grandpa's Cough Medicine. In this episode, we talk about the community of flat pickers, fighting (sometimes literally) through a tour and having to fight philosophically for what you believe in. This episode really was a fantastic dive into the bluegrass underworld, but also a really endearing episode about standing up for yourself.

A very special live episode (originally airing July 26, 2022) featuring all of the boys from Side Hustle!

Andre Martins is a multi-instrumentalist, but is primarily a keyboardist and DJ in the Jacksonville area. This episode was very wholesome through and through, and we definitely want to join Andre on his Rythym Rydz show where he drives DJ’s around Jacksonville while they spin fresh tracks in his mom’s minivan.

Jacob Hudson is the co-owner of local music studio, Pine Studios, located in Murray Hill. While also being a seasoned engineer, Jacob also is a singer/songwriter and has released his music under his own name. Jacob was gracious to let us move our entire set up to his location and we have to say, it makes us look like a million bucks. Anton’s not too shabby either.
