What does Studio 54, Woodstock, Desert Hearts, and Led Zeppelin all have in common? Yes that would be one epic collaboration but no…. Yorkie Louie has seen all of those performances live and casually talks about it as if moments like this happened yesterday.

On today’s show, we have Yorkie Louie, the “Godfather of Clubbing”, who resides in Austin, TX but has also lived in the epi-centers of San Francisco and New York City during their most transformative years. Yorkie is a modern day historian of the club scene and while that may be his namesake, Yorkie has witnessed and experienced all types of prejudice and injustices throughout the years. Instead of succumbing to these moments, Yorkie has chosen love and to focus on what matters the most to him: his partner, family and friends.

Yorkie and I talk about his journey through San Francisco in the early days, his most memorable club moments in NYC and iconic names and characters from that era he crossed paths with, his first experience with Desert Hearts that hooked him to this community for life, and lastly, we take a moment to remember the hard times, and why he is so grateful and positive now for everything life has given him. 

Please enjoy this heartfelt and at times, jaw-dropping episode with Yorkie and if you could please rate, review and share this episode with others!
