  • Ep. 47: Graig Markel (Recovery Effects and Recovery Room Recording Studio)

    This episode features guest Graig Markel of Seattle's Recovery Room Effects and Recovery Room Recording Studio. Graig spent a good portion of the 90s fronting the great New Sweet Breath before beginning to make solo records on his own, performing most or all of the instruments. These albums had a huge impact on me as they were released and I'm a big, big fan. A pedal he created, the Sound Destruction Device, also has made its way on to more of my pedal boards than probably any other pedal I've ever owned (outside of a tuner). I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I loved catching up with Graig!

  • Ep. 46: Wes Geer ( (Hed)Pe, Korn, and Rock to Recovery)

    Our guest this episode (and last episode, listen and find out what this means exactly) is Wes Geer of (Hed)Pe, Korn, and most Rock to Recovery. We met about 8 years ago in a festival catering tent and hit it off and hung and talked a lot of times at festivals that summer and the next. We've stayed in touch and it has been really exciting and inspiring to see Wes develop Rock to Recovery since his departure from Korn. Please do go check it out, donate to their organization, and attend their events that help support the work they are doing.

  • Ep. 45: Aaron Mlasko (Mlasko Drums and Former Touring Drum/Stage Tech)

    My guest on this episode is Aaron Mlasko, builder of Mlasko Drums and former touring stage manager/tech for numerous bands including my band, Duff McKagan's Loaded. Aaron's resume is pretty impressive and I feel like one could mine him for hundreds of stories given the right setting and amount of time. Aaron is currently focusing his time on working at Memphis Drum Shop as a resident tech and building Mlasko Drums.

  • Ep. 43: Luke Hilton (Stone Deaf FX)

    This episode's guest is Luke Hilton of Stone Deaf FX out of the UK. Designed and built in the UK, these pedals are worth checking out. I have enjoyed using their flagship pedal, the PDF-1, for about 7 years now and it is one of few pedals that ALWAYS is considered and often finalized on one of my pedal board versions no matter the genre or style.
