Episode #11- The Juggle!

It all started out so simple... I just wanted to be a bass player and rock the f****** world! That is definitely not the case for me hah. Nowadays, as independent artists, we're always looking to fill our calendar up with anything just to keep us engaged in our art. For us, it's gigging, songwriting, recording, collaborating with other artists, etc. so sometimes that can get a little chaotic if you're doing too many things at once. In this episode, Justin and I talk about our own balancing acts and how we deal with them.

Episode #13 - John Alvey!

This week's episode we have Nashville drummer, John Alvey! John talks to about his love for vintage cymbals, the balancing act of being a family man and also professional musician, and the pros and cons of being the "leader" in a band versus a supporting member. Very different perspectives of the two! We enjoyed this conversation so much, we could've easily had a few extra hours with John. Until next time, please enjoy some of his own music as well as projects he's played in by clicking the links below!
