On this episode, I had a nice time meeting the two halves of Fit The Bill.

They played a couple songs in the beginning for your listening pleasure as well. Enjoy and please share the podcast! Air date: 2/24/2020.

Hung out with Benny from metro Detroit’s Boyfrienders! Their style is a cool singer-songwriter (but add synths) sorta thing with some catchy vocal hooks and straight-to-the-point lyrics. Benny and I had a lot in common from a standpoint of having a case of lead singer syndrome, and we also talk about how some people actually ENJOY the administrative side of being in a band. Hopefully you guys enjoy the episode and please share it! Air date: 2/20/2020.

Met and hung out with 3-piece indie band Our Attic. The band performed some beautiful music in my living room and then we had a lovely conversation about a variety of topics both music and otherwise. They also braved a nasty snow storm to be on the show, so big thanks to them for not canceling! Do yourselves a favor and check out their music and enjoy the episode!

Thanks guys! Air date: 2/10/2020.

Had a really awesome 1 on 1 conversation with Jake Rees about so many things that it feels inappropriately reductionist to try and sum it up in a couple sentences. Just listen and trust me that this is one of the best episodes yet. At least I think so anyway. I just feel like this was the type of conversation that represents what I want this podcast to be about as I move forward. Jake killed a performance of a new No Fun Club song in the beginning as well. Enjoy y’alls! Air date: 1/29/2020.
