This was a fun conversation with Katie and Luke of Katie & the Honky Tonks. Self professed dorks who loved old honky tonkin music got together and made a band. The rest is going to be in history books. 

Thanks to Luke and Katie for being on the show. They have a huge weekend in central Iowa May 23/24 and we hope you get out to see them!!

Few people we have met lately have left an impression on us like Josh Sinclair. He's got awesome energy and we had a great chat. Have I told you all how much I love my job?? Getting to meet and talk with other humans out here doing big things is a great joy for me and I thank you for listening to all of these. 

Thanks Josh for joing the show. Check out everything about Josh Sinclair

After a long military career our new friend Phil Tittle found music again and embarked on a second life as a touring musician. He blessed us with a great conversation perfect for a Sunday listen. Phil was a great guest and I am a big fan of his music now too. I encourage everyone to check it out here

Two of our favorite people in our Sioux Falls area music/art scene on one podcast!! Live from Club David as part of our Songwriter/Artist Showcase series we bring you Moma Sam and Alyssa Keiser. 

Get to know our friends and enjoy a live taped episode of The Scene

This is by far one of my favorite episodes so far.

Josh is someone I speak with regularly and has become a source of inspiration and accountability for me.

We break some MASSIVE NEWS about our partnership and the opportunity of a lifetime that has presented itself. Lets just say we are Prime candidates as a teaser...

Thanks to Josh for being a boss and having the energy to move this thing into its own orbit, not unlike our interstellar friend Pluto.

If you're a small business owner I encourage you to find some other SBO's that are out winning and be there for each other. Support out here means so much and both Josh and us here at The Scene are trying to embody that as much as possible.

Jake Hoffer jumped on the pod before our show May 3 when he filled in on bass for Startz and Endz. It was a great time chatting with the young man and I think hes going to be a big part of The Scene moving forward. He has a degree in sound and he's active in the music scene in the area. His band The Degenerates can be found at Four Winds Music Fest this year.

Tristen Schofield sat down before a show to talk about his music and the life of a troubadour that he lives. Had a great time interviewing the man and then playing music all night with him. We had a heck of a show this night and can't wait to catch up to Tristen down the road again soon!

This was a powerful conversation with Jordan Beem. I really enjoyed digging into the parallels of sports and the music business. Jordan a collegiate athlete as well as singer/songwriter touched on a lot of topics with me and went a lot longer than I think either one of us imagined. 

Looking forward to getting to know this young man as his career continues to take off from the Des Moines area and his home town of Altoona, IA (I didn't even have to look that up). He is a great guy and stay on his grind in The Scene

We were delighted to be joined by Royce Johns, Americana Artist of the Year nominee by MCMO and full time touring musician. He's also a loving husband and doting father. It was so nice to chat with Royce about his career and all the things that come along with it. Enjoy this conversation as we dig in deep on his passion for writing songs, being an independent musician and working around Nashville. 

Thanks to Royce for joining the show and thank you for listening.

We got the opportunity to have a chat with Lee Klett of The Boys, and the recipient of the inaugural Ambassador Award at the Midwest Country Music Organization award show in April. 

Lee is a great guy and it was and absolute pleasure to have him on the podcast. We talk music and supporting the musicians that make it. His award and what it means to be recognized by your peers. Our mutual love for the MCMO and everything this group of people continue to achieve. Enjoy the show and thank you for listening
