The Tone Mob Podcast

On this Fairwell Fest conversation, I sat down with The Band The Brook And The Bluff. Unlike most episodes, on this one I'm talking to the WHOLE BAND!

These Fairwell Fest episodes are recorded in the "green room area' of the festival and it is a much different environment than I'm accustomed to, and I was running around like a maniac for the whole weekend. So you'll notice the vibe is slightly different, but not in a bad way.

These dudes are super cool, and I think you are going to enjoy this chat!

Barry is back on the podcast! Barry builds some of my favorite guitars ever, but he isn't just an expert luthier. Barry is an real deal acoustician by trade and has a vast array of experience managing, creating, and controlling sound in almost any environment imaginable.

On this episode we talk about his transition to building guitars full time, and some of his more challenging builds as an acoustical consultant. We also talk about what is "wrong" with guitar products, and why do we like them like that.

There is a lot of info on this episode, you are going to love it!

Does producing music work when there are a significant number of "cooks in the kitchen?" Can more brains on a project lead to a better outcome? Or does the result become a shadow of the former concept?

Taylor and I dive into all of that, plus some REALLY exciting updates from the land of Mixwave, we talk in depth about his recent obsession with vintage guitars, "in-the-box" vs "out-of-the" box mixing, and a whole lot more!

Spilly Cave is a fantastic guitarist, composer, video creator, and as it turns out... an EXCELLENT conversationalist. I met Spilly (Billy) through him becoming a Stringjoy artist, and just loving the music he makes after I discovered it.

This dude spent multiple years posting videos EVERYDAY before he actually gained traction publicly, and we discuss his mindset/approach during that timeframe.

He's not a serious gear head, but he has developed a VERY unique sound nonetheless. I think you are going to be inspired by this conversation.

Do you really have to give up ALL of your rights to get attention in the mainstream? Is country music having a Nirvana/Grunge moment? What drives folks to head to Nashville? Is it harder to make it now vs "the good old days"?

Matthew Oram is a British luthier who is making some of the most striking, yet classic, designs that I have seen in recent memory. Taking inspiration from an old, forgotten treasure you might have uncovered in your Grandparent's attic, Matt is making guitars that feel like they should have existed for years, but somehow haven't. Until now!

We also dive into diving into entrepreneurship with both feet vs taking a slower approach, his approach to design, how he made the most insane ONBOARD EFFECTS BARITONE ever, and a whole lot more. I think you are going to love this episode.
