Couch Riffs

Our guest this episode is Kyle Wolfe of Moon Guitars. Like many folks, Kyle started his career in guitar work as a repair tech and slowly worked into making custom builds. His designs are visually striking and very cool! Also, a very fun and funny guy to talk with who, generally speaking, isn't afraid to speak his mind and we get into a little trash talk in this episode. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Our guest this episode is Marcus Farrar of Antibalas and we had an amazing time learning about his musical history. Marcus was recently introduced to Couch Riffs through mutual friend Timo Ellis of Netherlands and sang beautifully & played shakere on a cover song episode. He's also a crushing drummer! Marcus has been with Antibalas for nearly 20 years and the band was nominated for their first Grammy in 2020. They have shows coming at BAM in Brooklyn in June 2021 and later this year at Brooklyn Bowl. Please check their website for dates and tickets! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Our guest this episode is Andee Blacksugar. Andee is one of the most talented and under-appreciated guitarists you'll find in the world today. Insane chops and ability to perform so many styles and with incredible form and character. Andee has been playing guitar in KMFDM since their Hell Yeah tour. Andee has released or performed on a total of 13 albums since the pandemic lockdowns began in early 2020. So, he's also prolific and we detail some of that energy and prolific work in this conversation. I hope you enjoy! I did. Thanks for watching.

Our guest this episode is Justin Sullivan, the frontman, founder and leader of New Model Army for some 4 decades now. Justin's story is one a life well-lived and I had a wonderul and inspired time speaking with him. He'll be releasing his 2nd solo album this month (May 2021), his first in nearly 20 years. New Model Army will surely be releasing more material in 2022 and will commence touring Europe, as well. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

This episode features my conversation with the legend, Pete Anderson. Pete has a long and storied career which we cover a lot of here. He is most well-known for being Dwight Yoakam's guitarist and producer for 2 decades of tours and albums. He continues to write, play, perform, and produce bands and is currently working on a book with an accompanying video called "How To Produce A Record" which I'm very excited to check out. Also, go get a look at his Reverend signature guitars! They're stellar, like Pete himself. This episode was a lot of fun for me and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening!

We are pleased to have Matt Muckle as our guest this episode, our most recent for Drummer Awareness Month. Matt thoroughly impressed me when he delivered his drums for our video performance of When Will I Be Loved (feat. Charlie Starr, Keith Nelson and Jeff Rouse). I immediately started following him on socials and watching with much delight as I revealed more and more depth to his playing, nailing every feel and groove with conviction and convincingly. We dive right into how he's able to do that in this conversation and barely come up for air. This one flew by! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Our guest this episode is Ryan "Go Time" Moore, a fella I've traveled more miles with than most other humans and a person I love deeply.

Very excited to have Frank Ferrer as our guest for this episode. In addition to being a great drummer Frank is one of the coolest guys you'll meet in rock 'n roll. Genuine, open, and friendly: I like him right away when I met him in 2011. Frank has had an interesting musical road leading up to his joining G'nR and we cover a lot of ground in this conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Please check out Frank's latest release from PSSR at THIS LINK! You won't regret it!
