Just Sway - The Unofficial Blue October Experience

A longtime Blue October fan, Brea W. and Lucas talked on her concert history and experiences and journaling those dozens of concerts she attended through the years!

Brea used her time during the Pandemic to create a tool designed to help those suffering from chronic illnesses or struggling with mental health issues track their symptoms and attempt to bring some clarity, understanding, and a healthier lifestyle back into their world. But this tool she created (the "Healthy Life Planner") is beyond any other planner available and it really was uniquely designed to be a tool that anyone can utilize to enable themselves to live a healthier life!

A great conversation between Lucas, Jackie Rose, and Matt Noveskey took place following the official "interview." It was so good, that it warranted its very own bonus episode!

Art and music are terms that are intertwined, sometimes more than we know. And for some of us, that mingling is much more than most of us are aware of. In this episode, Lucas was able to talk with new artist Jackie Rose who is completing a residency at Orb Studio's - the studio owned and co-operated by Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey. Learn much more about her music and the unique way in which her senses are intertwined and how that assists her in creating music that is beyond unique and exemplary!

"Twenty-two years ago, I was struggling to figure out who I was and why I was here. I was someone who didn’t fit into the box where I was told I belong….The problem is that I hurt a lot of people in the process. Of course, I justified my actions for years. That was until my selfishness led me to betray a dear friend and cause extreme damage to someone very dear to my heart," wrote James Ramsey, in a January 7th online letter. Listen to his letter in its entirety in this special episode of Just Sway.

Gillian Tietz has quickly become a force for good in the ever-expanding sober community. Her podcast, "Sober Powered," launched in June of 2020 and is currently thirty episodes in with no plans to stop anytime soon. The episodes take a unique approach and looks at alcohol through the lens of science, while at the same time Gillian adds in her own personal experiences to make it incredibly relatable.

On stage, Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey has a stoic appearance. Centered, focused, driven - so much so that you rarely see pictures of him with any sign of emotion while he's playing. But behind that passion is a ton of enthusiasm for his craft and the people he surrounds himself with.

In an amazingly sweet video, David had Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey film himself and the band an inspirational message to his then fiancé, Stephanie. Of course, that was just the beginning of the amazing story behind this lovely couple. Find out more about their story from their talk with Lucas, in this episode!

A special episode of Just Sway as Lucas introduces new artist Alex Nicole! Produced by Blue October bassist, Matt Noveskey, Alex's personality is present in every bit of her music - and in this artist profile, that becomes very evident from the beginning. Listen to learn how Alex got started in music, where her priorities in her career (and her life) are at currently, and what the future might have in store for her!

With the release of Blue October's 10th studio album on October 23rd, 2020, Lucas was joined by a few friends and fellow fans to thoroughly discuss and review "This Is What I Live For."

Blessed to have the the opportunity, Lucas was able to have a quick talk with Justin Furstenfeld - the co-founder, lead singer (and so much more) of Blue October.
