I now own the Dont Quit Your Day Job Podcast! Just kidding. However I did steal their main guest, Mark Tremalgia. Mark is an LA based guitarist who plays w/ The Cruzados, Uncle Duanes Band, and Little Caesar. Today I made blind rank a list of guitarists, we talk about his day job and Will Sasso. Make sure to follow him on his Instagram and check out all of his musical endeavors.
