What happens when a Southern California upbringing inspired by the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles meets a life of faith, family and friends? Join us on a lively journey with my dear friend and musical partner Jeff Joubert from the band Double Down. Jeff shares his fascinating childhood in sunny Redondo Beach, complete with skateboarding, and surfing adventures. Together, we reminisce about our diverse musical backgrounds, sun, surf, and camaraderie that shaped our youth, and how these early experiences influenced our dynamic lifestyles and musical careers.
Our musical exploration travels from church music to the eclectic mix of influences that have defined our sound. Jeff's journey from bass to guitar and piano, and his experiences leading worship music, intertwine with his diverse inspirations from legends like Eric Clapton to Joe Satriani. Discover how Jeff's musical roots merged with mine to form Double Down in 2018, a band that embodies the spirit and energy of our musical roots. From navigating Craigslist in the search to find the right band members, to performing at unique venues, we share the challenges and triumphs of being musicians in a constantly evolving landscape.
But it's not all tunes and melodies. The saga of Double Down is also a testament to friendship and faith. We recount chaotic gig mishaps, like unexpected sprinkler showers and snowy wedding adventures, that tested our resilience and strengthened our bond. Even as Jeff considers moving away, the story of our partnership is a celebration of the music that moves us and the friendships that sustain us.
