Tracy Weaver takes on the role of host and goes in depth with the various bands Nate has kept time with.. The ups and downs, starts and finishes, but all the good times and times that could have been better. Though, in the end it all worked out.

Tracy reflects on the bands I have been fortunate to play with, some of the crazy stories and a few of the tough times too. Tracy came up with this idea and I thought it would be fun. I don't talk to all the folks I have played with over the years, but I have stayed in touch with some. I am grateful for all those days and hope for more in the future.

Please join us as we discuss, how Mutiny began, Matt's big move from Billings and leaving his miming community behind, working together on the zine "The", train hopping, their love of coffee, starting their dream in Denver and finding their home in Englewood. The future is bright for Mutiny, they truly are a resource for the creative culture. We talk about many things and in the very near future Mutiny will be moving forward with  Punk Scout's (learning resources for kids to find their voice and learn about punk rock culture).

Art and I sit down with Storm Gloor, Associate Professor of Music & Entertainment Studies at CU Denver. We focus on some of of the venues of South Broadway in Denver and the history and current shows taking place within this music community. We talk about the paper he is working on publishing, which focuses on the music cities of the United States and how important these communities are not just in Austin, Los Angeles, NY and New Orleans, but those that haven't had the same exposure. How the pandemic affected music in general and how AI is already impacting music and musicians.

Art Biggs and Nate Weaver want to say sorry to Rainbow Sugar for the craziness of setting up the interview and hope we can find another time down the road that works for everyone. We talk about some of the most inspiring women in the Denver scene.  What the summer entailed. Living with Crohn's, food allergies and supporting the CCFA.
