Jordan Mayland is a super-productive singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, teacher, and advocate for music in central Iowa.  You are likely to have seen him with Tires, Volcano Boys, Nuclear Rodeo, The Wheelers, Keepers of the Carpet, or with his band The Thermal Detonators, among others.  He started as the Program Coordinator for the Des Moines Music Coalition in 2019, and hosted In The Birdroom, a podcast similar to this one, for two years.  He and I also used to be mistaken for each other a lot.  I had him over to my new home on the south side of Des Moines to drink beers and talk about many of these things, as well as his most recent release, The Plan, on November 11th.  This was a really fun conversation, and we could have talked for hours longer, but we hit a lot of the big stuff here.
