We’re two weeks into The Picasso At The Wheel Tour and going full speed ahead. In this week’s Patcast we talk to you, the fans, at our Patcast Tailgate Tent!

It's Nathanson hijacking the podcast and renaming it Mattcast and since he was the 1st one we did over a year ago. Tables have turned and Pat is interviewed by Matt.

Episode 95: Picasso At The Wheel Tour (Part 1) by Patcast by Pat Monahan (of Train)

During his time as president of both Columbia and Capitol records, Steve Barnett has been a champion for some of the biggest artists in the music world, and that's only in the last 10 years of his career. This week, we find out all about one of the most important men in the music industry, right here on the Patcast.

Back in the late 90s, BBMak had a huge single, got labeled a boy band (probably unfairly), and went from being completely unknown in Liverpool to a huge hit in the US. And they played a whole bunch of shows with Train. On this episode of the Patcast, Pat and BBMak's Ste McNally reconnect, play some music, and talk about what it means to be slapped with a label and how to navigate a constantly changing music industry.

This week we get to know a dozen of Train's biggest fans. They've traveled all over the UK and the world to see Train play, and they sat down with us in Scotland to tell their stories. They requested some of their favorite Train songs, and we had a live acoustic session. All that plus an update on the Matt Nathanson/Elle King beef on this week's Patcast.

This week on the Patcast, the whole band checks in from a studio in the Northwest during recording. And we find out how the Magic Numbers went from the Caribbean to Queens to London to opening for Train on their UK tour!

This week on the Patcast, we explain why we hate Tidal and love The View, and then we catch up with one of our favorite new singer/songwriters. She opens up about her crazy childhood and plays her single and a cover of one of her all time favorites. And she gets Pergo and Jerry hammered! Elle King is our guest this week on the Patcast!

Live from Vegas, this week we bring you more news updates from the road. Pat has a confession to make about Australia, and we throw it back to just a couple weeks ago, on tour in the UK, when we sat down with the phenomenal new British singer/songwriter Natasha North. She explains how a life divided between sports and music led her to be the opener on Train's UK tour, and she plays live for us backstage in Birmingham. It's all on this week's Patcast.
