Eric Busch is a great friend, former band mate, and amazingly talented drummer currently working with Kalamazoo-based blues/roots band Crooked Root. On this episode, he and I sit down to talk drums, our history together, musician dads and their influences, how blues jams can build a band, and the healing power of music. Find out how a late-night call changed not only both our lives, but a band as well, on this episode of Regionally Well-Known!

Dan Aaberg - front man for Kalamazoo-based rock cover band, "Rock RX," sits down with me for the very first RWK episode!

 **Disclaimer** we do experience a bit of "technical difficulties" early on, but we soldier through... just like a live rock show! 

Hear how two guys playing "Seven Nation Army" for a goof turned into one of West Michigan's up and coming cover bands! We talk about what makes a successful musician, the importance of putting on a show, oboes, "Executive" drum sets, and how a local band goes from conception to stage and the wild ride that can be. 

We all know stories about our favorite artists, but what do you know about your favorite local rock stars? Who were their influences? What was their first band's name? How did they get started in the music business? What makes them keep going to the bars and clubs every weekend to entertain us?

This podcast focuses on the lives, personalities, and (sometimes) crazy stories of local musicians and artists. Because believe me, they have just as many cool stories to tell, just as many compelling tales from the road, just as many ups and downs, as any "major" star. My name is Bryan Fischer, and I was once, like my guests, regionally well-known.
