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.

Albert is back on the podcast!

Singer, dog dad, rocket scientist, hot dog enthusiast and one of our favorite returning guests.

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.

Mo is living my dream life as a radio show host - getting to play music all day, interview musicians, and brighten people’s days by talking with listeners and sometimes giving away concert tickets. Me being one of those people… a few times.

She’s involved in music in so many different ways. Even if she doesn’t always see it herself, she is definitely a musician. Beyond that, though, she pours so much of her heart into helping other musicians succeed, whether that’s giving them a chance to be featured on her local segment, promoting their work, supporting them at shows, or even hosting concerts to showcase local bands. Lastly, Mo talks about her MySpace profile song… what was yours?

Other than Pat trying to kill me, he’s a pretty solid guy. Well… there’s one more issue. Once he stops trying to kill me and switches baseball teams, he might finally become the perfect man.

Pat plays guitar in the Arizona-based band Light Sleeper. In this episode, we talk about how the band came together, their upcoming shows and merch. We also discuss Pat’s musical influences, his favorite video games, and plenty more.

Sometimes the coolest connections happen in the most random ways. Manny and I were supposed to meet. He was sent to me at the right time.

Manny and I have very different music tastes, but that didn’t stop us from having a nonstop conversation. We covered so many new topics for the show, including music engineering, live sound, music therapy, AI in music, local music communities, and how where you grow up shapes the music you connect with.

Manny is someone who creates with what he has and makes things happen instead of waiting for perfect conditions. One thing that really stuck with me was when he said, “You can get so lost trying to perfect things.” So cool how a sticker can turn into an episode. I’m excited for you all to meet my new friend!

Hi friends! Welcome to this week’s episode, featuring Xander and Peaches. Without giving away too much, we get into Xander’s current project, Synchronic, and discuss the difference between a band, a project, and an artist. Naturally, we can't talk to a musician from Philly without asking who has the best cheesesteak.

If you haven’t checked out Synchronic’s remixes yet, now’s the time! As Xander mentions, “Art, it’s there to be shared.” Full-length album dropping August 31.

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Sean, a professional musician who’s built his career playing in bands, touring, and writing across genres. With new music on the way from Les Palms, we talk through what it looks like to start a band, grow as an artist, and make a living in the music industry.

From picking up his first Squier guitar and taking lessons at 10 years old, to playing early gigs at church, Sean shares how it all started. What began with a passion for Guitar Hero led to playing in cover bands, performing in bars, and building a career rooted in real experience and hard work.

Look out for new music from Les Palms, coming this Friday!
