**Anti-Heroes with Zach Blair**

Anti-Heroes with Zach Blair is a podcast about guitar players that aren’t on the covers of the guitar magazines but our host, Zach Blair thinks they should be. Each episode we’ll have discussions with players about their motivations, intentions and, best of all, their gear. We’ll talk about their careers and how they express themselves in the constantly changing world of guitar music. Anti-Heroes is hosted by Zach Blair, a lifelong guitar obsessive with a career spanning almost thirty years. From his early days in Hagfish that he started with his brother on to the world renowned shock rock musical theater that is GWAR to currently recording and touring in Chicago’s Rise Against for the last 15 years. Zach is still searching when it’s comes to guitar playing and always will be. Maybe he’ll find some answers right here on Anti-Heroes.

I get to sit down with the man who is probably the most influential and pivotal to modern punk rock guitar playing as we know it. Listen in as I punish Brian Baker for an hour and consistently remind him of this fact.

Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver, The Shins, Beck) Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

I didn’t know Jessica or her music going into this one and I love that! I love that this podcast has introduced me to new folks and new music that I probably otherwise wouldn’t have stumbled across on my own. I can say that I’m now a fan of Jessica, her playing and her wonderful band, Deep Sea Diver. In this episode, we talk about her background, her guitar-for-hire experience, her playing style, and of course, her gear. We hear some tunes from the newest Deep Sea Diver record like me, you’ll be a fan of Jessica after hearing this interview.
