Every now and again I get to sit down with an artist that helped define a genre, and this conversation with Matthew McDonald from Perpetual Groove was one of those opportunities. I consider P-Groove to be Athens, GA royalty, with their reach spanning the entire globe. His energy as a person and musician is palpable, and I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed partaking in it. 

We discuss Matt's life journey, how Perpetual Groove was formed, and dig into a number of topics that were of immense interest to me. I learned a lot about audio engineering/recording - with this being my first introduction to 'The 5 T's'-  we discuss Matt's health journey that includes his dedication to yoga, breath work, and sound/vibrational healing. 

He also shares information about upcoming P-Groove shows this fall, a sneak peek into plans for a 25th anniversary show, and touch on his upcoming release of his new album. Stay tuned to their socials and website for an Atlanta NYE show at Terminal West.

Plenty of other interesting topics that I was lucky enough to get his perspective on - so please give a listen and let us know what you think about the episode!
