Dylan Mikos is the front man, lead guitarist and screamer for metal band, Yashira. Anton and Billy are fascinated at the underground world of the metal scene and learn all the ins and outs of being in a metal band. There is a good chance that if you see Dylan's band Yashira out at a show, you will be pummeled as that is his goal with their music.

Promoter and Talent Buyer, Mike Ciero, from Underbelly Jax gives us all the ins and outs of putting together a line-up for a show supporting a nationally touring band in Jacksonville. The most rewarding part? When it all comes together and benefits everyone involved. Mike has been booking and promoting shows for the past twenty years and dives into all the behind the scenes content that concert goers (and sometimes band members) don't always see up front.

Nate Deas is an absolute gem in the art world and specializes making posters, t shirt designs and more for the biggest names in the Jam Band Scene. From Furthur to Dopapod, The Disco Biscuits, Moe and many many more. We were floored learning about the ins and outs of what it takes to be an artist in the music industry.

The voice of a complete rock god, Nat Spaulding, has been with his Southern Rock band, Cowford Town Band, for the past three years and is making moves playing festivals and slowly gaining momentum to tour regionally. In this episode, we go over how Cowford started, perfectionism in music, and what it takes to start touring as a band without an agent or tour manager. Special Guest co-host, Steven Honig, (also lead guitarist with Cowford) joins as well while Anton is still collecting different pieces of sand from exotic beaches. Cowford Town Band's new single, "Shine", which we get to showcase this episode, is available on all platforms. Be sure to check it out and support everything these guys got going on. (Surprise guest at the end of the episode!!!)

What a wild ride it's been for Darryl Green and his band Universal Green from Jacksonville, Florida. Darryl is the front man and lyrical genius for his genre bending hip-hop and jam band infused project, Universal Green. In this episode we cover everything from being stuck in the middle of a New Mexico desert in the aptly named school bus, "Evelyn's Dream", (that is the home and studio for Darryl) to what it takes to be the most energetic show man in Florida. Special guest co-host and bassist for Universal Green, Cory (Clawkins) Lawkins, steps up to the plate while Anton is out on his sabbatical journey to realign his chakras.

And we're back! This episode was a special one. For those who don't know, we released an album with our band Side Hustle (Links Below👇🏼👇🏼) a few weeks ago and our drummer Aaron Plotz was unable to make the supporting dates. Brandon on short notice learned all of our songs and absolutely crushed it! Brandon is the epitome of creativity and musicality on the kit. He truly elevates everyone he plays with and brings an undeniable energy to the stage. On this episode, we recap the shows he played with us, but we also tap into some very vulnerable spaces on what it means to be a performer. Beyond all the informational stuff, we just had a great hang on this episode. Brandon is hilarious and a great energy to be around. We hope you enjoy!
