  • Episode 20: Where I'm headed - A look back on the last six months of the show

    Episode 20 "Where I'm headed."

    We are joined by Brian Wofford from Episode 14 today. Come with us as we look at the last year post-Covid, and plans for the future going forward. We play back some of the songs we've had on the show, and we got a new one from our brothers out in California, Them Evil's with "OVRDRVE".
    Also, we got a bad-ass blues guitarist coming to town in August. Carvin Jones will be at 89th Stree Collective on August 26th. It's a Thursday night gig, perfect night to get out and see some blues.

    I said the wrong date on the podcast, despite literally having it in front of me. So, that's my bad. We'll post the links and information for the gig and ticket info on the page.

    Thank you all for listening!

    EP. 19 "Where the Buffalo roam"

    Guest: Cotton White with Straight White Buffalo

    On this one we are joined in by our resident psychedelic doom rocker, Cotton White of the band Straight White Buffalo. He runs us through the realities of being a gig musician, lucky breaks, and how the hell this dude is still alive considering the number of vehicles he's destroyed in spectacular fashion... Hell of a story this dude has. So, settle in. Let's talk about music!

    Intoduction song is the new single from our friends in Them Evil's. New tune is called "OVRDRVE", and it's a kick ass tune! Congrats and shout-out to those guys on the continued progress coming out on the other side of Covid. It's not easy to keep a band together in the best of circumstances. Nevermind a global shutdown...
