Part-Time Rockstar Podcast

This week’s guest is local legend Ray Wroten. He’s a Baltimore area musician who’s always playing shows around town and releasing music. And he's never shy about sharing what he's been up to. I wanted to get him back on the show because he just released the first episode on his new podcast on Sunday. It is called The 86’d Podcast. It’s about the restaurant industry and it's pretty entertaining. You can find the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. As well as the social pages for it Instagram and Facebook. I’ll add the link to the notes. His song “My Door Slams” is also featured on this episode. Feel free to subscribe to the show. Thanks for supporting local music.

They have a new song out now called “Persian Nights” which is featured on this episode. I should mention that if you buy their music on Bandcamp the proceeds for most of the songs go to a couple different charities. Their first album “Honest Eyes” goes to the Haven project which supports finding shelter for young adults and the song “Faded Gold” also supports a homeless charity in Massachusetts.

Brendan and I had a fun conversation about what the band has been up to over the years and the recording process for the latest album.

Today’s guest is with my longtime friend, drummer, and general creative Luke Justin Roberts, or LJR, as he now goes by for his solo music. This is his 5th time on the show. We tend to catch up once in a while since it seems like he’s always up to one new thing or another. Luke had a particularly gnarly ATV wreck over the summer, so we talked about that and his subsequent recovery from it. As well as his new music video course that he just released called The Music Video Accelerator. Which is now the podcast’s first official sponsor. He’ll also be drumming with my ban at our next show October 23rd at Zen West with The Hollow Truths.  So whether you are friends or fans of Luke’s, or you came here from the syndicate, hopefully you enjoy our conversation. Luke’s always an effervescent personality for sure. His new song "Need A Little Lovin" is featured on this episode. Thanks for listening and supporting local music.
