Vito is a friend I've made in San Antonio and we had such a delightful conversation. He is among many friends I've made in the service industry and he so well demonstrates empathy and hospitality! I'm so glad to be able to call him and his brother Seve, my friends. The Rizo-Patron brothers are San Antonio heroes!

He carries a wealth of knowledge and experience and I am so grateful to have recorded a conversation with him! This week (October 16-22, 2022) I was also able to record a conversation with his brother Vito and I am releasing them both this weekend! Enjoy!

This conversation was recorded in June of 2022. I met Alex a little earlier this year at a local physical therapy gym in San Antonio. We have both experienced spinal cord injuries and were left paralyzed. It has been such a gift to meet Alex and I am so excited to have him as a friend. I am confident we will record another conversation soon and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed creating! 

This conversation was recorded in May of 2022, in Cincinnati, OH. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to stop by Isaac's house and record with him. 

Isaac's music; be it with Pomegranates, or on his own, has been speaking to my soul since I was sixteen! I feel so fortunate to have grown up listening to his music and move from a fan to a friend. When I was paralyzed right before my nineteenth birthday, he sent me a mixtape of some songs he had not yet released and it was so special. I believe music has healing power and his songs in particular have offered me personal evidence for this belief. He, along with Joey, Jacob, and Matt all helped me produce a solo 'Pilgrim Kid' record when I was 21, called Homesick; at Sabbath Recording Studio in Cincy. 

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to know him and I would love to record with him again someday soon, but until then be sure to listen to his music through Bandcamp and his Marble Garden Mixcloud.
