Fascinating BS

December 26, 2019

Finally a new episode! Today on the show, my buddy Steve Owens from the Fascination Street Podcast takes over my show and asks all kinds of questions about my tour last summer. He felt I did a terrible job and left a lot of unanswered questions so he grilled me. This was a fun episode and I am glad he held me accountable.

Enjoy!!

BS Episode 10

September 12, 2019

I’m back! It’s about time, right?? Today on the show, I get a couple things off my chest about what I call wealth envy. It’s annoying to hear people complain about other people that have more success or more money. Jealousy is an ugly thing.

I also bring back Social Media Issues and What Am I Listening To. Enjoy!!

BS with Lucy Oglesby

June 14, 2019

Today, I hang with Lucy Oglesby, or as I call her, Miss Lucy. Lucy is a recent transplant to Louisville by way of Chicago and has a very cool story. She moved here in June of 2018 at just 17 years old to attend the University of Louisville’s Jazz Program. Who does that at 17? Miss Lucy, that’s who. We talk about her background in music, her love for the bass, more specifically, the upright bass and what it’s like being in the Louisville music scene at such a young age. We also have a lot of laughs and talk about our musical bond we formed from the first time we played together.

Lucy only uses Instagram so find her here…

BS with Scott T. Smith

June 6, 2019

Today on the show, I hang with an artist that I have been working with for several months. Scott T. Smith is young, talented musician from Hurricane, WV. Even though we’ve gotten close over the last few months, I still learned a lot from this hang. He wound up in Louisville through a chance meting with one of Louisville’s premier musicians, Ben Sollee. Since Scott has been in Louisville, he has made many connections and has played several gigs, both public and private. We sat down after a rehearsal for a wedding we were going to play and he was hired for that wedding when the bride saw him singing in a park. Yes, Scott is that good. Scott is a talented singer, songwriter & performer and he has a very bright future.

Bar Star Chapter One

May 16, 2019

This week, I decided to focus on the book. After all, I did start this show because of the book. So today, I read the first chapter. It sets up the theme of the book and it begins with my young teenage self where my musical journey started. It’s a little odd to read it aloud but kind of cool and liberating at the same time. Musically, chapter one is where it all started…

BS with Ben Noble & Steve Sizemore

May 2, 2019

Today on the show, I sit down with Ben Noble and Steve Sizemore, the two gentleman that I will be playing with on the run of Dilana shows in June. It was a cool hang because other than the group messages we’ve had, the three of us have never met. We got together, rehearsed some tunes for a few hours then sat down to have a chat. It was a cool experience to play with the two dudes in the same situation as me having also just met Dilana and been picked by her to go on tour. This was a good hang with some good humans and I am so looking forward to the shows in June! We talk about their time at NAMM 2019, how hey met and their musical backgrounds.

BS with Bob Rupp

April 18, 2019

Today on the show I have a cool hang with the extraordinary Bob Rupp. Bob signed me to my Sabian cymbal deal years ago and we’ve been friends ever since. We chat about all kinds of stuff, well, okay mostly drums and cymbals. We have some drum nerd moments in this episode and it’s fantastic. Bob has been through more than most people can fathom, both good and bad, yet he is one of the most positive dudes I know. From opening a drum shop that became one of the biggest in the country, to traveling the world, to playing drums all over America and having many Rock star drummer friends, Bob lives his life his way and to the fullest. He’s full of great stories and is eager to share them as well as some drum hits; when we recorded the show, he was sitting behind his drums. And neither one of us would have it any other way. Bob is truly, the very definition of a Good Dude.

Find Bob below. You’ll be glad you did…
