We took a short break and now we're back with a new special guest! This time, they are not from Ohio but that is a good thing. We wanted to give some light to bands who come through the state and play with local bands. There's nothing better than growing the community and every band is a local to somewhere right? Keep Flying is a group of great dudes, and though we weren't able to catch everyone, we got to sit down with John and talk about aliens, energy, the difficulties of living far from one another and making music, and what lies ahead. We are so thankful you are here listening and learning a little bit about Keep Flying. Please tell all of your friends about the awesome bands you find here, make a post, tag them, tag the show, and listen to their music and support them!

What's up everybody! Are you familiar with pineapple Jarritos? Do you wonder what the stars in the night sky sound like? We have the answers here.

What is up everyone! Being a solo artist can be challenging, you have to do everything yourself and sometimes that can be rough and at other times it can be very rewarding. Our guest today is a solo artist and he has been working hard to put his creative mind to the test with both with music and art. We're talking about control and how giving it up can be helpful, having fun with everything you do, and knowing when you want something to be the way it is to not compromise if it isn't what you want in the end. As always, thank you for supporting local bands and for sharing it with your friends, this can't happen without you!
