Stage Right

EPISODE #025! and also part I of our mentor series! We welcome to the conversation Paul and Conrad this week! Legends in their own right and since they’re neighbors we decided to have them both on at the same time. They were a big part of Chris’ early beginnings and they both opened the doors to the world of touring for him. We go into some great stories from the past from Chris learning on the job with Paul to incredible stories from Conrad of shows that happened at the legendary venue 1st Ave.
