Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 23 - Andy Frasco - Mission Ballroom Or Bust
Q: How do you continue to fucking grind and transcend through all the bullshit?
By staying true to myself, writing songs that resonate with my feelings instead of just for the setlist, and connecting with my audience on a personal level.
Episode 29 - Jason Carter - 33 Years, A Million Miles & A New Beginning
Q: Were there any notable performances during your time with the Del McCoury Band?
Performing with Phish was unforgettable; I was shocked by the crowd's energy and support towards us as a bluegrass band.
Episode 29 - Jason Carter - 33 Years, A Million Miles & A New Beginning
Q: What was it like for you to transition from the Del McCoury Band to pursuing a solo career?
It was really hard to get my schedule nailed down between both bands. I wanted to support my own music and make my own schedule.
Episode 31 - Andrew Sax - Boy Band Dreams, Psychedelic Journeys & Concert Poster Realities
Q: What was your reason? What's your why? Why do you keep continuing to push yourself?
I knew that in some way, creativity had to come out of me. If it wasn't going to be music, it could at least be in a way that helps because with the streaming and everything, these bands make a lot of their money off of merchandise.
