I'm so psyched to welcome everyone to this debut episode of Roadcase Live from The Basement in Nashville!!  For this inaugural interview, Tom Hamilton and I sit down prior to his set to talk about his creative life with Joe Russo's Almost Dead (JRAD) as well as the variety of other projects he's been involved with over his almost 30-year career. Tom also talks to me about his new solo project and his stellar new album, I'm Your Vampire. 

Big shoutout to Joe Lentini -- co-producer of Roadcase Live and the Talent Buyer at The Basement. Also big thanks to everyone at Another Planet Entertainment for helping to make this live show happen.
