This week I have singer songwriter “Orion Walsh” .He is formerly the singer of Nebraska Alt Rock/Emo outfit Slow Coming Day. He has since been a singer songwriter traveling the world on his own(alone) reaching hundreds of people in various parts of the globe, he’s a fascinating guy to me and I wanted to have him on my show, we discuss how we met and how we’ve even shared a practice space together.
This week I have artist manager Mike Kaminsky, he was one of my first roommates in Los Angeles! He’s managed bands: 3oh3!, The Summer Set, Meg and Dia, Gatsby’s American Dream, Tonight Alive, Neck Deep, Twin XL, and TONS more! Tune in as we talk about how Mike and I met each other as well as he got his start in the music industry that he’s now successful in!
I have songwriter Darren Robinson from the band Phantom Planet, I originally met him when I was in band The Brobecks and we kept in touch ever since, we ran into each other at a museum recently and that’s when I decided that he should come on the show and tell me his life story and how he and Phantom Planet got their start.
This week I have drummer Aaron Stechauner, we share ALL of the same drum endorsements except we play completely different styles of music, I am fascinated on how incredibly fast his double bass playing is, he may be one of the fastest on the planet, we discuss drumming, how we met, Aaron’s musical journey and where he’s headed next.
This week I have drummer Cyrus Bolooki of band New Found Glory, we talk about how we met, how we got to tour together over a span of 20 years together on the Warped Tour, and how Cyrus got his start as a drummer all the way to today. I used to go to their shows growing up and it’s super inspiring to see them still going strong as ever, tune in!
This week I have legendary producer and frontman of band Goldfinger John Feldmann! He’s had several hit records over the years and helped shape band “The Used.” He is one of the most successful and top leading producers in the Pop/Pop Punk/Alternative circuit today and doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.
I have band Icon For Hire on my show, I filled in for a few tours in their band and it was one of the best experiences I ever had, we talk in detail how we met and what’s happening in their world. They’re one of the hardest working bands and one of the biggest DIY bands I know, they’re story is amazing and inspirational to anyone doing music.
I got to interview Cameron from Twin XL, I took him on his very first tour back in 2010 that he ever did, and we’ve been friends ever since. His new band Twin XL is fantastic and we got to take them on tour with IDKHOW before Covid. He’s also a great song writer, and even a better friend. Tune in to hear how Cameron got his start and where he’s heading.
New band Halo West makes an appearance on my show. They started their band in quarantine and work within the music industry outside of being in a band, find out their story this week! I even play drums on one of their songs that’s on my show this week.
I have lead singer Randy Frobel on the show this week, I randomly found this band on Spotify, I grew up listening to Pop Punk amongst other genre’s, it’s rare today to find a pop punk band I actually like, they grabbed my ear and I wanted to learn more about Randy’s history and story and being from Canada making it as a band in America. This is his story!
