Live Without a Net

Episode #12 featuring 16 year old Jimmy LaFave Songwriting contest winner Ken Pomeroy and her father, Skip PY. While Ken might be considered a "young" singer/songwriter, she is far more mature musically thanks to the mentoring she has received from her family, as well as several outstanding Oklahoma singer/songwriters, such as Carter Sampson, Kyle Reid, Dan Martin, and many others. Skip PY has his share of interesting stories as well; but more importantly, he is obviously focused on assisting Ken in her musical journey.

Tony Petersen of The Social Animals, St. Anyway, Highland Paddy, and several other bands....singer/songwriter...professional banjo and guitar player...Berklee grad and all round excellent guy talks about his musical journey to date.

Episode #9 features Justin 'Reverend' Hylton, a traveling singer/songwriter who has been living out of his converted 2017 Ford Transit van (Levy Jean) for the last 18 months. During that time, he has literally toured and performed at venues from coast to coast. I've been lucky enough to let him park at my place in Florida a couple of times. While this is a fascinating lifestyle for anyone, it is also a challenging one, nonetheless Justin thoughtfully shares a glimpse into his life.

LWANe#8 features Scott Everlovin' Anderson, lap steel and electric guitar player for the Florida-based band "Have Gun Will Travel", talking about the band, how they balance their individual roles, performing in-general, and recording their original songs.

Episode #7 features Brett Mularkey, sales and marketing 'go to' at Nechville Banjos, and banjo/guitarist with the Minnesotan based group The Stringdingers. In addition to his appreciation of Hamm's Beer, Brett is also an effects guru - he has personally walked me through improving not only the amplification of my Nechville Zeus banjo, but he was also instrumental in developing my acoustic pedal board. The second of his episode will be out later this year!
