Episode 31 - Andrew Sax - Boy Band Dreams, Psychedelic Journeys & Concert Poster Realities


Listen Later

In this wild ride of an episode, we sit down with Andrew Sax (@SomeSaxyArt) – an artist, snowboarder, and full-time poster wizard who went from doodling in the margins of his college notebooks to designing official artwork for some of the biggest names in the jam band scene.

🔹 From Philly to Vermont to Dead Lot 🚗 – How a kid from Philadelphia ended up in Vermont (and it wasn’t just for weed and Phish). Andrew takes us through his journey from small ski hills in Pennsylvania to chasing powder and live music across the country.

🔹 A Boy Band Fantasy Gone Wrong 🎤 – The surprisingly hilarious way a fake online boy band led to Andrew discovering his love for digital art. Spoiler: No music was ever made, but a terrible logo was.

🔹 Accidentally Becoming an Artist 🎨 – From his first trippy doodles to designing stickers and selling shirts on Dead & Co. lot, Andrew explains how he stumbled into a career making concert posters—and how a sticker of a hot dog eating its own ass changed his life.

🔹 The Dogs in a Pile Connection 🐕 – How one drunken encounter (and a handful of stickers) led to Andrew becoming the go-to artist for one of the jam scene’s rising bands. Plus, the moment he realized he was officially part of the music scene, not just an outsider looking in.

🔹 Psychedelics & Creative Awakening 🍄 – Andrew opens up about how psychedelics helped shape his art, his perspective on life, and even made him less afraid of death. But after years of creative inspiration, why did he decide to take a full year of sobriety?

🔹 Merch Wars & The Poster Hustle 🖼️ – From getting his first official gig to navigating the politics of band merchandise, Andrew breaks down the wild world of concert posters—including why Phish will never hire him (but he’s fine with that… probably).

🔥 Whether you’re an art nerd, a music lover, or just here for the chaos, this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and deep conversations about creativity, self-discovery, and why snowboarders always have to apologize for existing.

📢 Listen now and be sure to follow Andrew and help him sell out of his next print drop! 🎶🎨 #JamSceneArt #PsychedelicPosters #WhatsTheReasonForThis
