No Simple Road

Our friends Starfinder Stanley, Hawk Semins, and Pete Bell from the Owsley Stanley Foundation join us for a special extra episode of No Simple Road this week! This is a true musical history lesson contained in this episode. We travel all the way to Ireland to find the roots of Bluegrass music waiting and find out why Jerry Garcia invited The Chieftains to Open for Old And In The Way in 1973!

The Owsley Stanley Foundation's mission is to preserve more than 1,300 recordings left behind by famed Wall Of Sound engineer and architect and infamous LSD chemist, Owsley "Bear" Stanley. These preserved and meticulously remastered releases have been entitled "Bears Sonic Journals". The Owsley Stanley Foundation’s ninth release of Bear’s Sonic Journals: The Foxhunt features the Chieftains performing live in San Francisco in 1973 (CD & vinyl) and 1976 (CD & digital only).

We talk with Starfinder, Pete, and Hawk about the painstaking work that went into creating this release, the detective work that went into creating the 30+ page booklet of info and stories that come with the physical copies, the artwork and why this particular piece was chosen for the cover, traveling to Dublin just prior to Paddy Moloney's death to get the whole story, and so much more!

To purchase a copy of this amazing release head over to www.owsleystanleyfoundation.org/

This week on No Simple Road we are stoked to bring you Patrick Harvey of Cycles as our guest on the show!

The current incarnation of the ever-developing sound of Cycles reveals itself today as a speeding freight train of sound and rhythm. Screaming peaks and balanced grooves find their way out of the chaos of a jam while samples ripped from the likes of Madonna, Lil Nas X and many more ring out and grab the unsuspecting audience by surprise, adding to the multicolored blend of sound filling a room and often standing out as comedic elements of the show.

We talk with Patrick about our upcoming adventure at Camp Suds, the recent loss of Cycles' original bassist and what that has meant for the band, if he is able to listen to his own music without picking it apart, the difficulties presented with coming up in a town with a thriving music scene, some recent opinions on the last Dead & Company shows, the influence of the Grateful Dead on Cycles, and a whole lot more!

We're extremely excited to have David Gans as our guest on No Simple Road this week! David is a musician, songwriter, guitarist, and music-journalist. He is the co-author of the book 'Playin In The Band: An Oral and Visual Portrait of the Grateful Dead', 'This Is All A Dream We Dream: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead' and hosts the weekly syndicated show The Grateful Dead Hour. He also co-hosts a show on Sirius-XM's 'The Grateful Dead Channel' called 'Tales From The Golden Road'. I would dare to day that David is royalty and an elder statesman in our little Grateful Dead community.

We talk with David about how we shouldn't allow the world outside to deny us our joy, how today's strangeness and issues are so different than years gone by, the way that a musician's job has changed over the years, an elders role in the community, why the Grateful Dead's music stood out among so many greats, and so much more!

To watch David's daily livestreams head over to his YouTube channel or www.dgans.com

For 20 years Northwest String Summit has been a mainstay in the festival scene of the Pacific Northwest. Yonder Mountain String Band started the festival all those years ago and saw fit to move it here to Horning's Hideout. In the years that followed many now famous (and infamous) bluegrass acts cut their teeth at this festival and year after year fans came back for more creating a tight knit community.

This week on No Simple Road we continue our journey at Northwest String Summit 2022 with part 2 of this 2 part series. This being the last year of the festival we wanted to focus less on the bands and more on the community, the stories, the people that have worked hard to create the scene so many of us enjoy. It's our hope that as you listen to this week's episode you'll feel all the feelings along with us as we embark on this bittersweet 4 day run.

We start this episode with Yonder Mountain String Band absolutely killing it on stage the last night of the festival followed with commentary, stories, and an interview with the incredible band 'Never Come Down'. Then, we were lucky enough to catch up with the one and only 'Artist Whisperer' Annabel Lukins for a little conversation. Finally, we take it all home with more stories from the community and the final tear-filled song played on the Main Stage on Sunday night by Yonder.

We've got some of the amazing music with a little commentary by yours truly, an interview with Tom Nechville who has revolutionized the banjo, Patrick Connell of the Oregon Bluegrass Association, and a bunch of silly and extremely sweet moments with the NSR/Strummit Family and beyond!

We are so excited to have Shawn Swain from The Kitchen Dwellers as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Earlier this year, Bozeman, Montana’s Kitchen Dwellers released their third full-length album Wise River. Since the release, the band has skyrocketed to consistently packed out venues and festival appearances with no signs of slowing down. The quartet—Shawn Swain [Mandolin], Torrin Daniels [banjo], Joe Funk [upright bass], and Max Davies [acoustic guitar]—twist bluegrass, folk, and rock through a kaleidoscope of homegrown stories, rich mythology, American west wanderlust, and psychedelic hues.

We take a ride with Shawn and talk about the new album Wise River, being sober for 5 years, how the drought has affected him and the land around him, where the Kitchen Dwellers fit into the wider Americana scene, how he's learned to appreciate a well run festival, and much more!

SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Sundown' off the new album Wise River

SONG AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW: "Their Names Are The Trees' off the new album Wise River

We've got something special for you this week with Rome Yamilov and Henry J. Kaiser as our guests on No Simple Road. Their new album, The Lenoir Investigation, may have started as a tribute to Chicago blues great J.B. Lenoir, but the two guitarist’s worldly influences carry the 11 tracks around the globe. The album is out now via Little Village.

Henry Kaiser’s work in psychedelic guitar playing has few parallels, as the former Psychedelic Guitar Circus ringleader has played on over 300 albums and even used the South Pole—the pole mounted on Earth’s south geographic pole—as a slide to play Antarctic blues. Enter Rome Yamilov, the Russian-born guitarist who came to Little Village by way of harp player Aki Kumar through the San Jose blues scene.

There's so much packed into this one! We start with a conversation with Rome about his humble beginnings, playing with Aki Kumar, and how he ended up working on this amazing project. Then, we jump into a conversation with Henry that will for sure leave you speechless. Let's just say, 45 minutes talking about how the song Dark Star is alive. You can thank us later!

SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'I feel So Good' off the album "The Lenoir Investigation"

We couldn't be more stoked to bring you Jordan Fletcher as our guest on No Simple Road this week! The Jacksonville-born and Nashville-based artist conveys his story with play-by-play urgency and intense attention to detail over authentic country spiked with rock spirit.

You’ll get to know him not only as a songwriter, but also as a dad, a husband, a surfer, and a believer. After racking up millions of streams independently and canvasing the country with the likes of Muscadine Bloodline and Kip Moore, this approach defines a series of 2021 singles and his forthcoming full-length debut album for Triple Tigers.

Jordan is one-of-a-kind and the connection happened immediately in this conversation as we get into to topics like touring in a $300 camper, how the loss of his Father has shaped his life and music, how being an artist has him counting his blessings, the way independent music fans take care of their artists, how he's bringing faith into being a parent, and a whole lot more!

We are so extremely excited this week to recap our journey to The Peach Music Festival! This episode is part 2 of a 2 part series of attending this incredible 4 day festival at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

We begin this week's episode with a few minutes of commentary by Mel & Aaron just before Billy Strings takes the stage on night 1 of the festival.

(00:40:37)Then, we jump right into our live podcast with the one and only Jennifer Hartswick and talk about her experience with The Peach, how she only has ever had one job in her life, how we shouldn't let our children have crappy jobs, and a bunch more. Then, our friend Patrick, a 9 year Peach veteran, joins us onstage to tell his favorite moments of years past.

(01:45:53)Next we are joined onstage with the beautiful and talented Maggie Rose as our final live podcast at The Peach Music Festival 2022! Maggie takes us home with stories of how her podcast Salute The Songbird came to life, how perceptions of 'celebrity' are skewed, how The Peach is special for her, how we all became friends, and a tom more!

This whole experience was monumental for the three of us here at No Simple Road and we have done our best to put something together here that makes you feel all the feels along with us!

We are so extremely excited this week to recap our journey to The Peach Music Festival! This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series of attending this incredible 4 day festival at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania. We start this out by giving our recap of what this was like for us personally and for No Simple Road as a show to be asked to podcast live from this iconic festival's 10th Anniversary, how the experience measures up against other festivals we've attended, and the connections we made and felt while there.

Then, in case you missed the livestreams, we have our live podcasts with Eggy (1:37:20), Dogs in A Pile (2:01:42), and James Casey (2:17:07)

This whole experience was monumental for the three of us here at No Simple Road and we have done our best to put something together here that makes you feel all the feels along with us!
