Welcome to the kick off of season four of the Souled Out podcast!  Today I am joined by the one and only, Ryan Hesselink, from both [the] Commuter Exit and The High Five.  Ryan is an extremely talented guitarist and composer who, I would say, specializes in the realm of guitar pedals and effects and the like.  I have been a fan of Ryan's projects for nearly twenty years as we both have performed in bands since high school and have shared many venues together across the years.  Today we reminisce and story-tell quite a bit, but we also dive real deep into things we're facing in the world today.  From the COVID nightmare to George Floyd to Trump.  Find out how music is forever the guiding light of our lives as we continue to navigate this time of enormous uncertainty.  It's been too long since I've teamed up with a special guest -- so thank you all sincerely for sticking with us through the recent lock down.  Enjoy the show!
