#17 Zeke Martin - “I took a plane from Paris to New York at 5 years old… by myself” Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

Today on the program, I sit down with Boston based drummer and educator, Zeke Martin. When Zeke isn’t playing at one of the many venues around Boston, you can find him teaching drums at Northeastern University. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Zeke about his unique journey as a professional drummer. From losing his father at 7, and his mother at 17, Zeke chose to go after his dreams and carve out a life for himself in Boston. I hope you enjoy the episode!

#15 Brandon Luciano 2 part 1 - “I Shot My Shot” Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

Today on the program is the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Brandon Luciano. You remember Brandon… The guy from episode 2. Every time we get together to talk we have too many beers and end up taking 3 or 4 pee breaks. So, to make this more digestible, I have broken it up into separate episodes. Like the last time, Brandon and I cover a very wide range of topics such as meeting your idols, fame, my story about the night Tom Petty died and much more.

In todays intro I mention After the Gig’s upcoming Patreon page. To learn more about it email the show at Afterthegigpod@gmail.com

#13 Max Shafer - “If you’re Jason Aldean, there is no way you’re not pooping on the bus”. Jun 11, 2019

Show notes

Today on the Show, Jesse sits down with his good buddy Max Shafer. Max started touring right out of high school and never looked back. He has traveled all over the world with acts such as Green River Ordinance, Eric Hutchinson, Safety Suit, Mat Kearney, and his current gig the Eli Young Band. He’s done everything from changing strings to tour managing and if you’re looking for a reliable, hard working, and professional guy to have on the road, there really isn’t any need to look any further than Max. I mean… The guy travels on private jets for work and he’s 22. WTF. Please enjoy this episode of After the Gig!

“Love Ain’t” by The Eli Young Band

#12 Dave Fox - “Whatever it is you do…. Better pick something you like” Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

Well folks, I’m back from my adventure the wonderful country of Ireland and today on the podcast I am joined by a badass Boston based drummer named Dave Fox. I hesitate to call Dave just a drummer because he is so much more than that. He’s an educator, a touring musician, family man, and an inspiration for many players in the Boston area including myself.

Dave and I sit down in his home for a chat about growing up with music, learning the hustle, the Boston music scene and much more. This was truly a pleasure.

#10 Dave Carroll - “The Mayor Said We Could Do It” May 07, 2019

Show notes

Today on the program is the great Dave Carroll. Dave is a music educator who owns and operates his own music conservatory in Newton Ma. He was the saxophonist and one of the founding members of the former Boston based rock and soul band Love in Stockholm. Dave has invented his own language. He is the only one that speaks Dave Carroll, but it is a language non the less. This episode was recorded after the super bowl this year and it was a whole bunch of fun. Enjoy!!

If you live in the Massachusetts area and are interested in learning/getting better at an instrument, give Dave a shout:
