Show notes

Bad Bad Hats are Minneapolis rippers! I've been a big fan for ages, so it was a delight to chat with our guest Kerry. We talked primarily about food network but also managed to sneak in some music conversation including touring with your husband, cool ways to engage fans on Patreon and impressing your landscaper with your music. Enjoy!

49. Sam Plecker (Vista Kicks) Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Got big love for today's guest. Vista Kicks and Arms Akimbo have had a loving little relationship for a few years now so this episode has been a long time coming. Sam recently ventured off on his own to track an EP for the first time. The quarantine kept him up North in a little community called Pulga and it gave him the freedom to make this little record. I truly love it and we discuss each song on the record, his creative process and how to focus on artistry above industry. Enjoy!

44. Ryan Winnen (COIN) - Celebrating 1 Year of Direct Support! Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

Happy Birthday to us! And what better way to ring it in than with one of my favorite bands, COIN! Ryan has been an amazing man for me to get to know over the past few months and it's high time you meet him. Ryan is an incredible drummer, painter, and student of life. His outlook is refreshing, whether it's his experience with music, a health crisis turned into a fascination with the strength of the human body, or a fun little anecdote about meeting The Killers. Thanks for sticking with us all year. Here's a treat to pay ya back. And don't miss COIN on tour this Winter. Enjoy!
