In this lively intro to The Rhythm Section Podcast, Derrick and Jeff recap a night to remember—Jeff and Steve Owen’s birthday bash at Neil’s Music Room on Friday, April 11th. With Generation-X bringing the house down (and one unforgettable version of Iris), the guys share laughs, memories, and a hilarious moment from the performance that’s not to be missed. Plus, they introduce a brand-new character to the show: the sweet, sassy, and slightly over-the-top Lil’ Sweet.

Johnny shares how he first linked up with the popular '80s tribute band Aquanet, dives into the story behind his powerful new project Chasing Angels, and reflects on his emotional performance at Pete Mendillo’s Celebration of Life.

They also take a trip down memory lane with stories from Johnny’s early days in Dover Crossing, his decades-long career in the U.S. Air Force, and his longtime friendship with the legendary Mad Drummer. From hair metal to heartfelt moments, this episode hits all the right beats.
