On today’s episode, I get to hang out with my awesome new musical sister, Sydney Magers, who is a phenomenal singer and one half of the two lead vocalists of The Juice Box Heroes. Sydney was awesome hang and has many greats stories including not only being a theater kid, but starting at five years old! She was cast in Hairspray which landed her a scholarship to the University of Northern Colorado. She has seen way too many things to list here, but this is an episode you don’t want to miss, mainly because we have too many accented squirrels flying out of our faceholes.
Social Media Issues – Pros, cons, TMI & staying in touch.
Stories From The Stage – Hawaiian Princess blows out a knee or two.
What Are You Listening To? Lake Street Dive, Duke Ellington and Alt-J.

This week on the show I hang with my buddy Aalics Bronson. Aalics is a monster bass player and we talk about all kinds of behind the scenes music business-y type stuff. We all also discuss his weird circle hand movements while he plays, his bouncing back and forth between Louisville and NYC, as well as his early start to his bass playing. Aalics is super busy with playing bass for Jean Marx Express, touring off and on in Europe, teching for a couple of known artists, behind the scenes production and part time managing a band! He has his hands in a lot of fires and loves all of it. He’s a cool dude, so busy in fact, Sebastian made his way into our conversation this week.

Today on the show, I hang out with my buddy, Frank Green. Frank and I don’t know each other very well, but we had a lot of stuff to talk about. So much in fact, we never got to Social Media Issues, Stories From The Stage or What Are You Listening To. But that’s okay because Frank will be back in a few weeks. We do talk about gigging, Frank growing up playing bass, our dear friend Kevin McCreery, how he landed into a band that got a record deal within a month of him joining, the amazing amount of talent in the Louisville music scene and dealing with death and depression. This is one of those rare episodes where we get a little deep so you don’t want to miss this one. We even touch on concept records!

This week I sit down with a former student who is now a good friend, Mitch Kirkpatrick. I met Mitch several years ago when he was teenage drummer looking to become better at his craft. He was like a power plant of energy behind the drums but had no focus. I pointed him in the right direction and he worked hard and it paid off. We talk about what he’s been up to, living in Los Angeles and Nashville and where is life is now. And if course, 2 drummers together create tons of squirrel moments!
Social Media Issues – Mitch has stayed away but still has some observations.
Stories From The Stage – Some “song requesters” take thing a little too far.
What Are You Listening To – Mitch is really into the new Eminem album.

Jamie Bruce Harris. December 13, 1972 - October 25, 2018. Rest easy, my friend.
Today on the show, I have a very long, detailed and sarcastic conversation with David Payne. David owns Louisville Music Studios and we talk about how he started it and why. But even before we get to that, we talk about David’s upbringing because he has a cool story. We get into how he ended up in Louisville, his musical background and take some serious jabs at each other. We have a lot of fun and there’s tons of immature jokes so consider yourself warned!
Because I wanted to get David’s story out there, there are no Social Media Issues, Stories From The Stage or What Are You Listening To this week. This is just an in-depth conversation with David Payne about who he is and what makes him tick. I think you guys will dig this episode, even with all the crap David and I fling at each other.

On today’s episode, I hang with my buddy, Todd Blankenship. We talk about a few different things, like how we met seeing as I don't really remember, but mostly his passion and the work he does for the film industry. Todd is from Louisville but moved to LA to become a full-time writer and talks about where he'll be moving to next because LA traffic sucks. I learn all kinds of cool things like what a gaffer really is, a grip and a key grip – those odd titles that are in the credits of every movie.
There’s no segments to this show as I just wanted to have a conversation with Todd and get to know him better. So, no Social Media Issues, Stories From The Stage or What Am I Listening to but I drop a couple nuggets of that throughout the show. This was a fun one and I hope you guys dig it as much as I do. Todd is an awesome dude and it was great to hang and chat with him.

FINALLY!! THE BAR STAR PODCAST HAS A WEBSITE!! The address is below!!
Today on the show, I give my opinion about the past because of a reconnection I had a couple weeks ago with a former band member. It started to make me think about the way I look at the past, and how it can sometimes look hypocritical. I don’t get too deep because I’m not too bright, but I wanted to share with you guys. I hope you guys dig my Dime Store Philosophy this week.
Social Media Issues – Know it all’s that don’t know anything.
Stories From The Stage – Country Club Taped Napkins

Welcome to another episode! This week I have a chat with me about coffee, documentaries, what I think is wrong with people and my sudden stuttering issue. I have a couple opinions about the current state of creativity and why I think it’s lacking. All of course with no real factual evidence other than my own misguided opinions.
Social Media Issues – It’s just sad.
Stories From The Stage – 6 degrees… Lit’trally.
What Am I Listening To – The Jasta Show and Dee Snider’s I Wanna Talk

This week on the show, I hang with buddy Jason Gosine from Charleston, SC. We went to music school together and he has had an interesting life trip so far. He’s seen a lot, done a lot, served our country and works in a very cool guitar shop in Charleston which is where we recorded this episode. Jason and I are just having a conversation so there’s no Social Media Issues, Stories From The Stage or What Are You Listening To this week. We had a great chat and Jason talked about a movie called Artifact that he highly recommends. Since recording this episode, I watched it and I highly recommend it as well. If you’re into music – since you listen to this show it’s a safe assumption – you need to check out Artifact.
Rusty’s Cool Guitars is an amazing shop that sells all custom guitars and the profits go to Guitars For Vets, Animal Rescue and a few other charities. It’s a very cool shop that does great things so here’s the info for Rusty’s.
