Meet my friend, Jeff! From growing up as a third-generation drummer and playing backyard shows to performing in local bands, we dive into the experiences that have shaped Jeff’s love for music.

We discuss why you should never put off seeing your favorite band live, what "selling out" really means, and why Jeff believes punk is more of a mindset than a style.

Along the way, we get into Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, Travis Barker, marrying his high school sweetheart, and the role music has played throughout their relationship.

In this episode, we catch up on everything happening with Gloom Club and Scary Kids Scaring Kids, including what it was like playing the Warped Tour pop-up show in Mexico. Albert shares why performing live is still his favorite part of making music, the challenges of playing in a different country, and the unforgettable experience of connecting with fans internationally.

“When you make music, genres don't really matter.”

I was first introduced to Jackie and her band, Miles Above, during the Mesa Amplified Festival when they performed at Chupacabra Tap Room. In this episode, we talk about everything that happened that night, including the experience that led me to reach out to the band.

Jackie shares how she joined Miles Above despite never having performed rock music before, the nerves that came with taking that leap, and the supportive environment she's found within the band.

We also dive into her musical journey, from elementary school choir to founding Grand Canyon University's first a cappella group, the Canyon Crescendos. She gives us an inside look at the ICCAs (yes, the competition featured in Pitch Perfect is real) and shares how those experiences shaped her as a musician.

Today, Jackie continues to pursue her passion for music as a member of TunIX, a post-collegiate a cappella group, while also writing original music with Miles Above as the band works toward releasing its first album.
