Dropped Among This Crowd

This week on the show I am very pleased to welcome Sasha Savinov – from Grateful Gypsies!

Sasha and I talk about his life as a digital nomad with his wife Rachel, he takes me on the journey of how this lifestyle started for them and explains what a digital nomad is.

He talks about where his passion for teaching came from and what it’s like to teach English as a second language online. Sasha talks about travel hacking – what it is and how they use it to trek across the globe.

He shares what inspired the name Grateful Gypsies, where in the world he'd love to visit, and offers some advice to anyone that is considering this type of lifestyle.

We talk about what 2020 and the pandemic was like for them, and the experience of being a Summer Camp Music Festival Camp Counselor since 2017.

Of course, we talk about Umphrey’s McGee, his first show back in 2003, his favorite place to see UM, the song he would love to hear them cover, his favorite thing about being a part of this amazing community and so much more!

This week on the show, Umphrey's McGee lighting director Ben Factor, shares his thoughts on Winter Tour 2022.

Ben talks about the back drops the band has added to their tour toolbox and his vision for this incredible new addition. He shares where he drew inspiration from when preparing, mentions the in-house projectors that he used in Detroit and Cleveland, and his future hopes for adding video into the mix.

Ben also shares what moments and venues stood out most to him during the tour, we talk about Iceland, and more!
