Seattle, Washington: “Here we are now, entertain us." Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

A city with a legacy and cloudy culture that has given us authentic artists for decades. Some known around the world who arrived on the shoulders of those like Mudhoney and the Sub Pop beginnings. It’s still hard to escape the bubble of grunge but maybe the next Seattle is just Seattle?

Washington, DC: “Don’t mute the people” Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Of course two of the most relentlessly chest and heart pounding genres originate from the capital. Something has to cut through the muck and the mire. In this episode we visit the spots that bring the truth to the capital through music. It is our arts that keep us honest and moving forward to a more perfect union.

Denver, Colorado: “If the universe had a favorite venue...” Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

From the million year old rocks to intimate theaters, the mile high sound echoes and echoes. Maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the air but one can’t deny that there is a certain expanse in these jams and spaces unlike any in America. At this altitude the sound does strange things, man.
