#141 After the Gig - "Do You Know Your First Amendment!?!?" Feat. Jon Markel
Episode 141
mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:08:38
Jon Markel stops by the studio and we end up talking about everything—First Amendment audit videos (and why Jon’s obsessed with them), sovereign citizens, getting frisked by cops as teenagers, and why I will never forgive my neighbor for the BB gun incident. We also get into stage accidents, Jon’s ongoing feud with his neighbor over backyard fires and asthma complaints, and what happened when Lola passed out on stage mid-performance. Plus: why touring musicians still make 1980s money, Shawn Mendes canceling his tour, and Jon’s dream of becoming the Pedro Pascal of bass players.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:09 First Impressions of the Studio00:31 First Amendment Videos Discussion08:15 Sovereign Citizens and Police Interactions11:59 Personal Stories and Police Encounters19:35 Neighbor Feuds and Petty Conflicts34:32 Addressing Personal Issues34:58 Concert Incident: Lola’s Collapse36:08 Analyzing Lola’s Fall41:28 Stage Mishaps and Embarrassments45:54 Public Bathroom Etiquette48:20 Shawn Mendes: Fanboy Moments and Critiques52:48 Touring Challenges and Music Industry Insights01:02:55 Gaelic Storm and the Life of a Bass Player01:08:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

#42 Rock Boat Recap - “I suck at basketball”
mercredi 5 février 2020 • Duration 26:58
I’m back! Sorry for the delay, but I’ve been getting used to real life again. It’s hard when there isn’t a buffet, non-stop live music, casino, beautiful weather, and a soft-serve ice cream machine available to you 24 hours a day. And I know that now. This episode is a short and sweet one to get back into the swing of things. I answer some email and Patreon questions, and provide an overall rundown of my experience on the boat. Enjoy!

#41 Jessica Martin - “What are we trying to do here?”
mercredi 15 janvier 2020 • Duration 01:08:04
Jessica is a managers manager. You know how I know that… I don’t, but if I did it would have sounded super cool. Jess (as I affectionately call her), has been Stephen Kellogg’s manager for many years and has recently taken on a new client in Brian Dunne. In my experience with working with Jess over the last few years, I have enjoyed her personal and professional approach to meeting my needs and I’m overwhelmed with joy to have had this conversation with her on my show! (Was that too over the top?)
All Jokes aside, Jess knows a TON about the music industry and what it takes to solve an artists day to day challenges along side setting them up to accomplish their big picture goals. She’s one of my favorite people on the planet and I hope you enjoy the episode!

#40 Brian Dunne - “How are you going to put on pants, let alone write an album?”
mardi 7 janvier 2020 • Duration 01:09:41
Brian Dunne is a fantastic singing songwriter that I met while playing with Stephen Kellogg. It turns out, we actually went to college together as well! I have been a fan of Brian’s music for a long time and getting to sit down with him before his gig in Newport was truly a pleasure. Brian has a new album coming out on April 10th called “Selling Things” and he was kind enough to play a song off of this upcoming album for us. Stay tuned till the end to check it out. Enjoy the episode!

#37 Eric Hutchinson - “There’s no right or wrong way to do it”
mardi 3 décembre 2019 • Duration 01:03:59
This week on the podcast I am joined by the great Eric Hutchinson. Eric and I met back in 2016 when I saw him open for Rachel Platten with his great band The Believers. Later that year, Eric did a co-bill with Stephen Kellogg in the UK, and a couple months after that, I filled in for his drummer on a few shows in the midwest. Yes… I was a Believer for a week, and it was glorious. Eric’s music is fun and insightful, and you’ll have a hard time not loving one of his albums. You can check out all things Eric Hutchinson at www.erichutchinson.com. Please enjoy this weeks episode!!

mardi 26 novembre 2019 • Duration 01:26:20
Today on the podcast I sit down with the other half of Native Run, Rachel Beauregard. Rachel was nice enough to make some time to talk with me in her hotel room before she headed out to soundcheck for her show with Hozier at the wang theater in Boston. Did I mention that she is currently singing background vocals for Hozier? No? Ok then. We get into a TON of topics and I excited for you to listen. Enjoy!
