The Artist Files

We're back in Alberta for this one! This time on The Artist Files, I reached out to my good friend Brian K.S. Cole, Canadian vibraphonist, mallet percussionist and overall great guy. We talk about it all on this one, music, business, life, The Simpsons, and a ton more.

We are travelling all the way to Amsterdam (and sort of Sweden) to talk to an amazing guitarist who goes by the name of Teis Semey. I met Teis online, and we’ve been growing a friendship ever since.

S2E2 has arrived! Today we're travelling out of Canada and down to Columbus, Ohio to talk to my good friend Zakk Jones. Zakk is a wicked professional guitarist, music school graduate, and all around amazing guy. We're talking about a whole bunch of stuff, like what to do after you graduate music school, to Zakk's debut trio record, all the way to how similar our taste is in guitarists.a I really hope you enjoy listening to Zakk Jones.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Artist Files! I'm starting this journey by talking to my great friend and killer musician Payton Hansen. She is the front person of an all-female indie group called Club Sofa, and she is on her own journey to becoming a music therapist. We talked about everything from the upbringing of her band, to how women have been treated in the music industry, to her take on songwriting with her band. Check it out!
