One of my favorite players and conversations breaks the 4th spot in our most downloaded episodes of 2017.  Dave Cohen is the man behind the keys on some of the biggest songs to come out of Nashville in the past 5 years.  Can Nashville really accept a Canadian foreigner in to their studio borders?  Lots of laughs about religion, music, and Dave's crazy journey to become an award winning keyboardist.

We are getting closer to the premier of season 3 and that just means a conversation from one of "The Players", Michael Rhodes. We really dive in pretty hard in what's in the mind of one of the most successful, still working, bass players in the music industry. What does it take to have a long career as a bass player, and how do you keep working?  Also, the incredible stories and a behind the scenes look at some of Michael's most infamous recording sessions.

One of my favorite front men from the band Republican Hair, killer songwriter, and documentarian, Luke Dick takes our 6th most downloaded episode from 2017.  We chat philosophy in his songwriting behind the cuts "Kill A Word" and "Pink Sunglasses".  His documentary, Red Dog, and funny story.  I almost get mauled by a red dog in  this episode.

Our 7th most downloaded episode features songwriter and artist, Ryan Beaver.  Nothing but smooth, hustle from this guy.  With the philosophical mind of Socrates and the heart of a Texan, Ryan continues to impress Nashville and his fans with his songwriting.  Find out what it takes to get where he is today, and his process of creating his songs.  Season 3 comes back with all new episodes May 1st, 2018!
