August 16, 2021 Ep. 187 Ian Fowles (The Aquabats)
Our guest this episode is Ian Fowles of The Aquabats. Ian was a great time and we, as usual, got off on multiple tangents regarding religion, aliens, and we even managed to talk about music and guitar playing a little bit. Ian has a great story and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. If you're enjoying the Couch Riffs podcast please consider supporting us at Patreon.com/couchriffs.

August 09, 2021 Ep. 186 Jeff Fielder (Amy Ray/Mark Lanegan)
Our guest this episode is one of Seattle's greatest not-so-secret treasures, Jeff Fielder. Jeff plays with Amy Ray (Indigo Girls) and Mark Lanegan and keeps a busy schedule doing session work, producing, original composition and performances both in Seattle and on the road and around the world. It is always a pleasure to get a chance to hang with Jeff and if the opportunity arises for you to catch him on tour with anyone he's playing with it is well worth it for you to go enjoy his playing. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. If you're enjoying Couch Riffs podcast or our cover song videos please support us on Patreon if you have the means.

August 02, 2021 Ep. 185 Ty Bailie (Katy Perry/Dept of Energy)
Our guest this episode is the insanely talented Ty Bailie, keyboardist supreme! I met Ty back in Seattle after hearing about him for some time and the first time I saw him play (and the first time I played with him) I was absolutely blown away with musical and friendly excitement. Ty is just as fun to hang and talk crap with as he is to play music with so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

July 29, 2021 Ep. 184 Craig Montgomery (Live Sound Eng.-Nirvana/PUSA)
Our guest this episode has been a friendly fixture in the Seattle music community since what seems like forever. He toured running live sound for legendary bands like Nirvana, TAD, The Posies and Presidents of the USA and also co-started a Pixies cover band in the 90s called No. 13 Baby which drew much attention and gained a great following. Craig was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

June 28, 2021 Ep. 180 Per Wiberg (Opeth/Candlemass)
Our guest this episode is Per Wiberg, a Swedish multi-instrumentalist with a killer resume that includes Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Candlemass, and a couple of solo releases which are absolutely killer. Per's most recent release, All Is Well In The Land Of The Living, is an exploration of heavy, psychedelic and goth rock and will not disappoint! The vinyl is sold out (unless you can find a used copy on the market like I did) but some CDs remain and enjoy streaming this album loudly. I woke up extra early to catch Per at reasonable hours for both of us and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! If you're enjoying the Couch Riffs podcast or our killer cover song videos (Per appears in TWO upcoming videos that are both amazing) please support us at PATREON!

June 21, 2021 Ep. 179 Eddie Brnabic (Hippie Death Cult)
Our guest this episode is Eddie Brnabic, the drive and spark behind Hippie Death Cult which is one of our favorite newer bands. Their new album, Circle of Days (Heavy Psych Sounds) travels beyond the stoner/doom genre's basics and delivers a myriad of metal that is sure to please you. I can't recommend it highly enough! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did because Eddie is rad and has a pretty killer story. Thank you for listening and for your continued support!

June 14, 2021 Ep. 178 Zia Uddin (Myles Kennedy/Jaws of Brooklyn)
Our guest this episode is Zia Uddin. We missed having him on for Drummer Awareness Month but since he was the drummer on our recently published performance of Wishing Well, it seemed like the perfect time to have him on! Zia is an ace human and world class drummer/percussionist playing over the years with Myles Kennedy, Mayfield Four, and now Jaws of Brooklyn, as well. I've known him since 1993 when we were roommates for a short while and he was a constant inspiration to me as someone who worked hard and played TONS of music. I'm so stoked to have him as my guest and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
