Show notes

Our guest on this episode is Mike Gurnari of the legendary NYHC band, Madball. Mike has been with the band for just over 2 years as of the publishing of this podcast and has a very simple and immediate story of how that came to be.

Ep. 81 : Wayne Kramer (MC5) Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Our guest on this episode is the legendary Wayne Kramer of MC5. But, there is much more to Wayne's story than simply being the guitarist and leader of one of the most important bands of all time. I cheated some before this conversation and listened to Wayne narrate the audio book recording of his 2018 published, The Hard Stuff. I highly recommend picking up the book and/or listening to him personally read his story. It is wonderful. And, I am very much looking forward to the project that Wayne hints at coming up for his next project. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Ep. 80 : Blag Dahlia (The Dwarves) May 27, 2020

Show notes

Blag Dahlia, aka Blag The Ripper, is the leader of legendary punk band The Dwarves who have been pushing boundaries and melting brains since the mid-80s. Blag, it turns out, is quite well spoken which I was expecting. I wasn't really expecting him to be so nice, honestly. Funny, sure. But, I had a great time learning about some of his and the Dwarves' history and his plans for.a new Blag album. And, potentially got a commitment in a Couch Riffs video! I hope you enjoy this episode. It was a pleasure speaking with Blag.

Ep. 79 : Kathy Moore (Kathy Moore Super Power Trio) May 25, 2020

Show notes

This episode features guest Kathy Moore, one of the most in-demand and active guitarists in all of Seattle. We met a handful of years ago and it is always an absolute joy to see her perform and usually we can chat briefly when we cross paths but this was a great conversation for getting to know her story. Studied in jazz and orchestral band, Kathy didn't start playing guitar until she was 21 years old! She is an absolute ripper and can cover so many styles on the guitar AS WELL AS THE KEYS! Seriously, one of my regrets of leaving Seattle is that I left without ever getting to play and perform with Kathy. Go check out The Kathy Moore Super Power Trio!

Ep. 78 : Ken Haas (Reverend Guitars) May 18, 2020

Show notes

Ken Haas owns and operates Reverend Guitars in Ohio, USA and we are happy to have him as a guest on the Couch Riffs podcast this episode! Reverend Guitars has been producing amazing guitars since the late 90s and I remember when they arrived on the scene, surprising folks with their alternative body construction and cool retro-futuristic shapes. I was always a fan and remain a fan. In this episode Ken tells us how he came to be involved with Reverend and makes a cool announcement concerning the Limited Edition release for 2020! I bought it on the spot, actually.

Ep. 77: Dustin Boyer (John Cale/The Dusty Meadows Band) May 13, 2020

Show notes

Dustin Boyer is one of the most entertaining people to hang out with and talk to. There is literally no time for slowing down a conversation. But, more importantly you are hoping that some of his magic will rub off on you just from hanging out with him because he is a MONSTER guitar player. He has a ton of performing and recording experience beyond his own bands and projects and his ongoing work with the legend John Cale. His own projects range a massive variety and I encourage you to go check it out as soon as possible!

Ep. 76 : Chris Buck (Buck and Evans/YouTube Creator/Multiple Award Winning British Guitarist) May 11, 2020

Show notes

This episode features guest Chris Buck, one of the most talented rising stars in the guitar world today. Being a relatively early adopter of using YouTube as a tool to share his playing Chris has been gaining more and more recognition worldwide as well as earning Best New Guitarist in Total Guitar's 2017 poll as well as Best Blues Guitarist in Guitarist's 2019 poll. Look for Chris to have a big and bright future as a guitarist and with his band Buck and Evans. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

Ep. 75 : Andrew McKeag (The Presidents of the United States of America/Andrew McKeag Band/Tour Manager) May 06, 2020

Show notes

Our guest on this episode is a most excellent friend, shredding guitarist, and professional tour manager type, Andrew McKeag. Andrew is the type of guy that you can call at 3:30am to help get your car pushed out of a ditch or get your motorcycle towed from some inconvenient place that its broken down. I know. He's done that for me. He's also got some of the best rock 'n roll stories from behind the scenes that I've ever heard. But, we are smart enough to not get too deep into the muck cuz eventually we are going to have to face people again when this plague life is behind us. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

Ep. 74 : Jimi Hazel (24-7 Spyz) May 04, 2020

Show notes

Our guest this episode is the incredible Jimi Hazel of 24-7 Spyz who last year put out their first album in well over a decade. Jimi went in deep on his process of writing this album along with the spiritual elements that helped him break his writer's block and depression. It was an absolute pleasure to speak with him, get to know him beyond social media volleys, and hear about what makes him tick and inspires him. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
