Polluted Thoughts Podcast

Back again polluting the airways! Today I am joined by none other than Keatsa & Zavian Fernandez. Zavian being a returning guest a long time friend and Keatsa making his first appearance on the podcast and our first time meeting each other. Keatsa is an artist out of Fitchburg Massachusetts that’s been trying to put his city on the map for years now and is successfully doing so, Zavian credits a lot of his following in music to just knowing him. Since our last podcast Zavian has really taken off with food review content he has been making. Traveling throughout the state to try some of the best food Massachusetts has to offer, usually bring Keatsa & his Camera Man Brett with him as well (who is super talented and behind the camera during the podcast!). We talked about Zavian starting up the food content and how that’s been going for him, Keatsa’s origins into music, and so much more! Make sure to check out Keatsa’s music & Zavian’s page as we left this podcast and went straight to ‘The Brick’ in Sterling Mass for some drinks and a food review!

Joining me was Alex Cook, Braeden Nash, Cooper Mathews, Donovan Powell, & Jason Reynolds! We have a tradition of watching the first rounds of NCAA March Madness so we of course had the Round of 32 game playing in the background (Colorado vs Marquette). We talked about Childhood video games, New England sports, Al being immersed in the algorithm, & St. Fitzpatrick’s day! For the local listeners this one is definitely a classic!

On Todays episode we’re joined by a very close family friend and loved one Johnny Drugan! Johnny is a Professional Bassist endorsed/sponsored by ‘Lakland’ from bands like ‘Beneath Me’. You may also know him for his highly respected, restored drum and guitar shop ‘Drugan’s Drums & Guitars’ in Des Plaines, Illinois that he owns and operates with his brother Brian. Johnny is like an uncle to me and someone i’ve always looked up to for his ambition and passion with following his dreams, so it was cool to get a chance to pick his brain about how his life and passions came to be. He spoke about his beginnings in music and with my family, how his grandfather mentored Johnny Winter and his father was Winter’s first bassist and close friend, & about his love for vintage instruments and the shop’s environment! It was great conversation with an even greater guy, hope you all enjoy!
