Welcome to Episode 28, featuring our good friends The Hawthornes!

Ade Herbert (vocals/keys) and Mike Prescott (guitar) stop by the studio to chat all things music. We ended up having one of the longest (and best) conversations so far. There are far too many topics and tangents to list here, but suffice to say...there's a lot to learn in this episode!

We do an in-depth review of their new album. Hearing straight from the creators themselves about songwriting, inspiration, production, and rehearsals is a unique experience we don't get every week.

Episode 27 is with the mighty Dream Theater keyboardist, Jordan Rudess!

Jordan has tons of valuable insight to share about practicing, being a pro musician, and the importance of education (formal or otherwise).
