Ever wonder how The Struts Life came to be? This week, I (Leah Jones, your loyal host and rock 'n' roll confidante) sit down with our elusive producer, Christian Swain, for a no-holds-barred origin story packed with backstage access, big ideas, and a bottle of Napa red. From discovering The Struts in a sun-soaked VIP section at BottleRock 2016 to nervously pitching the podcast in their dressing room years later, Christian reveals the cosmic alignment that led to this wild, glitter-drenched adventure. We go deep on the band’s evolution, the future of rock, the soul of music in the age of AI, and why imperfection is the new perfection. Whether you're a day-one Strutter or just joined the movement, this episode is your front-row pass to how our circus began. Rock history, raw honesty, and righteous vibes—hit play and let’s manifest the next chapter together.
