BS with Brian Christopher Mendes

June 19, 2020

I know, it's weird! I'm posting a show on Friday. But I could not wait another week to release this episode; it's just too good. Today, I hang with Brian Christopher Mendes. Brian is a drummer out of Austin, TX and a couple years ago, he had a video he made as a joke go viral. He's been a drummer for more than 30 years, and does tons of session work in the Austin area. He's got a cool story, an amazing sense of humor and some very interesting outlooks on music and drumming. I reached out to Brian and we had one of the coolest conversations. Since we'd never met before, we just talked about all kinds of music stuff as if we were sitting in a bar having a beer. This episode was a lot of fun and it may be one of my personal favorites.

BS with Dusty Bo

Today on the show, I hang with the talented Dusty Bo. Dusty is a musician/songwriter from Louisville, KY who decided at 21 years old to move to Los Angeles, CA. After working the scene out there for 10 years, he moved back home to Louisville and he's been super busy since. He just released his new single "Bandit" on April 17, (which there was a bonus episode for) and it's a great tune.

I hope everyone is staying safe and maybe learning or doing some new stuff!

I have another cool hang on the show this week with Ian Bottomley. Ian is a drummer in Louisville, has been playing most of his life and is currently the drummer for the band Vice Tricks. We talk about all kinds of music stuff, growing up and finding out his dad was a drummer, the scene around town and how the two of us played in the same band. This was a fun for me episode because Ian and I have known each other for years, but we've never really knew each other. Now, I owe him a drink.
