Coming to us from balmy Brevard, North Carolina, the fame-ish Sidney Outlaw joins the pod, where the stories just keep flowing one after another! From the value of mentorship in shaping one's educational and professional journey, to the importance of creating quality recordings to provide the next generation with stylistic models, to believing that we're right where we're meant to be - all woven together by Star Wars metaphors - the conversation has nuggets for everyone. Hop on The Magic School Bus, it's class time with Sidney Outlaw!

Stream Sidney's newest album with Warren Jones, Black Pierrot, featuring music by William Grant Still and B.E. Boykin.
