We decided to kick off 2025 with a conversation with one of my oldest friends in the music biz, Kyle Park. He is a brilliant and hilarious mind with lots of great insight into being a professional musician. We talk about gator hunting, Texas wine country, his new band The Texas Trio and even sleep schedules. Hope you enjoy!

What an incredible year it's been for the podcast! We have big things planned in 2025. As Kyle says, we are going to expand to other industries as well, like William Chris Winery (we interviewed one of the owners)! I shamelessly ask for an Only Vans laptop, we shoutout our sponsors and ask for more, and reveal we are doing FOUR LIVE PODCASTS AT STEAMBOAT MUSICFEST 2025!

My little brother and best friend, Clay Hollis, is my guest on the podcast today! Of course we talk about what he's been up to and his latest song, and then dig deep into... our live sound rigs!? I hope this episode gives you a ton of new insight into the high level of knowledge that's needed to tour like we do as independent artists, but (full disclosure) the second half might go right over your head if you're not interested in the nitty gritty. Enjoy!
