Surviving Rocklahoma

Tonight's episode of Surviving Rocklahoma is going to be a little different as we are going to pay homage to the newly christened Rockin' Red Dirt Ranch, which hosted Rocklahoma, this month by also keeping it country in the back as we get my friends with a southern a draw and penchant for raisin hell themselves for close out the night's live stream with some red dirt artists and a peak of what's going on in the campgrounds this week as they move into the beloved campgrounds for Born & Raised Music Festival. I'm going to have a couple of special guests call into the show throughout the night, play an interview from a Rocklahoma 2023 artist, and feature some tunes along the way. All this b-dassery does come at a cost, as tonight I'm also going to have some personal news to share that could impact the podcast. Join us tonight at 9 p.m. for Surviving Rocklahoma Live.

I caught up with Mat Madiro after his drums rattled every wall within a mile radius. He was cooling off and chilling stopped by to talk about his performance with From Ashes To New at Rocklahoma 2023. He also digs into the mindset of a drummer in battling through climates and physical pain in order to maintain the pulse that keeps the band alive. We also get into his roots and what's next for the band as they continue on with their tour.

The fun-loving bunch from down under swung by the desk to share their thoughts on the Rocklahoma Music Festival. They go on to share admiration for the ROK community they've been welcomed into and how their more, ranchy style, has been welcomed with open arms, and that all culminated in one of their more memorable performances as a band. They also introduced us to one of their new fest friends they met at the fest.
