Kyle Cox
Kyle Cox sits down with me to discuss incorporating parenthood into his music career, how to manage relationships, and the importance of a good night’s sleep. We also spend a lot of time discussing what it’s like to focus on booking “the right shows. And he’s got a new record coming out this month, and I’ll premiere a little bit of a tune from that release on the broadcast :)

Trevor Larkin Pt. 1
Hey Hey! Got another two-parter here for ya featuring my buddy Trevor Larkin. I was so happy to have Trevor on the show because he's got his feet firmly planted in two camps right now: one, as the guitar player for the Allen Stone band, a well-established project enjoying a level of success that many dream of achieving, and the other in Climb The Sky, a brand new musical project which is Trevor's brainchild. It's wildly interesting to hear someone talk about new hopes and aspirations when they could very well be resting on their laurels and enjoying the status quo. Learn how to keep making things and keep growing on this special pair of episodes.
