Today we are joined by Australian guitarist Nathan Cavaleri, a musician who is as resilient as he is soulful.
Nathan Cavaleri started playing guitar at age three, picking along with his father's blues records. Facing luekemia at six, Cavaleri found solace in his guitar and thanks to the Starlight Foundation met and jammed with Mark Knopfler on national television. Even at such a tender age, and quite unwell, Cavaleri's affinity with the blues and burgeoning talent was undeniable.
Thankfully, Cavaleri was given a clear bill of health at age thirteen. By this time he was a road veteran, having shared the stage with artists such as BB King, Robben Ford, Albert Collins, Steve Morse, Steve Cropper, Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Tommy Emmanuel to name a few.
Following a break from the spotlight in his late teens, Cavaleri returned with force fronting the blues/rock band Nat Cole and the Kings.
In 2014 Cavaleri found himself unexpectedly struck down with adrenal fatigue and anxiety. In 2017 Cavaleri started a website & blog that detailed his return to the stage and studio.
Cavaleri speaks candidly about his journey and reflects back on 2018 as a "year of action", in which two compelling singles from the forthcoming Demons EP were released, in addition to a string of successful live shows.

In addition to his stellar solo career, Andy has had a remarkable journey as a sideman for Danger Danger, Simon Philips, Kip Winger, Paul Stanley and Olivia Newton-John to name a few. He has jammed alongside Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai and is a popular Ibanez and Mesa Boogie endorser.

Welcome to episode 100! Thanks to our listeners and guests from all around the world for being on the ride with us here at the Guitar Speak Podcast - here's to the next hundred shows \m/ \m/
Today we talk to our friend Mike Molenda (Guitar Speak Podcast Episode #39) who speaks candidly on what went down when Guitar Player Magazine's new owners no longer had a place for him - and other full time staff - after serving for over two decades as Senior Editor.
Mike tells us about his next exciting project - Guardians of Guitar - which will be 'full Molenda' without commercially imposed restrictions, how he continues to say yes to new opportunities, why he's still as committed to evangelising the guitar as ever and what he learnt from Captain Kirk.
