S2E26 - Adam Miller Nov 17, 2022

With a unique approach to the guitar, Adam Miller's music is groovy and approachable, whilst having a melodic sophistication that only comes from years of cross genre hopping. His inclusion of complex rhythms and dissonant haunting phrases, combined with breathtaking riffs and melodies are his signature. His jazz influenced style with finger-picking mastery creates a improvisation filled live performance that is beautifully unpredictable. This has seen him share stages with Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Matt Schofield, Russell Morris, Charlie Hunter, Adam Levy, Ariel Posen, Tony McManus, Ben Gillies (Silverchair), and more!

S2E24 - Tyler from Alder Audio Nov 03, 2022

Tyler is a guitarist, tinkerer, and home recording enthusiast who decided he wanted to try his hand at building microphones. His story is a common one amongst many makers that I've interviewed on the podcast - he saw a need in his own musical life and decided to build it instead of buying it and in the process created a wonderful microphone that he now offers to the rest of the gear world. He is dedicated to making quality, top-tier, pro microphones at an affordable price that musicians can afford and access.
We had a great time in this conversation and I hope you enjoy it!

Gecko Pedals is an example of what happens when a dare between bandmates ruminates for 15 years and then is finally brought to fruition. Riley at Gecko Pedals has designed and released one of the most ambitious first pedals I've ever seen and it's incredible.
On this episode I talk to Riley and Pete about the beauty of tape delays, the marvel of the echoplex, and why the Geckoplex EP-5 is such a wonderfully perfect pedal. We also hear more about Riley's story, how he got into making pedals, and how it was Pete's love for an Echoplex EP-4 that spurred the creation of Gecko Pedals.

S2E17 - Jesse Honig of 29 Pedals & Believable Audio Aug 07, 2022

Jesse Honig is obsessive - and I mean this in the most amazing way possible. He has a singular focus for audio integrity and authenticity. He's worked in some incredible studios, on the road for some incredible artists, and that's because he knows audio. This obsession with tone has lead him to create 29 Pedals, a branch of his bigger audio enterprise - Believable Audio.
Jesse introduced the EUNA and the OAMP to the pedal community - an auspicious start to have a pedal company with your first pedals being an input and an output buffer! He's made a name for himself in the quality of his pedals and artists are taking notice with more and more of his buffers showing up on pedalboards of some of the best players in the world.
I really enjoyed this conversation - Jesse is the best kind of podcast guest. He's gregarious and full of wonderful stories to tell. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Looking back: Grammy winner Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Jun 12, 2022

This week I wanted reshare this episode from season one of the podcast with recent Grammy award winner Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. Kingfish and I are both from Clarksdale and grew up playing guitar around the same blues men and where I just ended up talking about guitar, Christone ended up making a living out of it and he's tearing it up on the road.
I really hope y'all enjoy this podcast from the early days of phone call interviews (forgive the audio!) and I'll see y'all with a new episode really soon!
