| #141 After the Gig - "Do You Know Your First Amendment!?!?" Feat. Jon Markel | 19 Nov 2025 | 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 If you’d like to take a deeper dive, check out After the Gig on Patreon for bonus content.

| #42 Rock Boat Recap - “I suck at basketball” | 05 Feb 2020 | 00:26:58 | |
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?” | 15 Jan 2020 | 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!

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!

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.

Joe Bentley is a bassist out of Rhode Island, but that doesn’t really tell the whole story, obviously. When I met Joe in high school, he was a somewhat awkward guy that played football but could also play the s**t out of a bass guitar. Somewhere along the line he found a passion for classical music, and since then he has dedicated himself to excellence as a musician and educator. Please Enjoy this weeks episode

| #13 Max Shafer - “If you’re Jason Aldean, there is no way you’re not pooping on the bus”. | 11 Jun 2019 | 01:32:06 | |
Today on the Show, Jesse sits down with his good buddy Max Shafer. Max started touring right out of high school and never looked back. He has traveled all over the world with acts such as Green River Ordinance, Eric Hutchinson, Safety Suit, Mat Kearney, and his current gig the Eli Young Band. He’s done everything from changing strings to tour managing and if you’re looking for a reliable, hard working, and professional guy to have on the road, there really isn’t any need to look any further than Max. I mean… The guy travels on private jets for work and he’s 22. WTF. Please enjoy this episode of After the Gig!

“Love Ain’t” by The Eli Young Band

| #129 Pat Murphy - “I never wanted to do this!” | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:54:09 | |
Today on the podcast I have the great Pat Murphy of Gaelic Storm. The band was founded by Pat in 1996 and was featured in the record setting, blockbuster movie (one of the biggest films ever made) “Titanic”. From then, they went on to a record deal and decades as a staple in the Irish music community. Go to their website for tour dates. You will not want to miss them when they come to your town! Pat is one of my favorite people I’ve met in the music industry (and in general) and I hope you enjoy our chat half as much as I did. Enjoy!

| #12 Dave Fox - “Whatever it is you do…. Better pick something you like” | 04 Jun 2019 | 01:47:52 | |
Well folks, I’m back from my adventure the wonderful country of Ireland and today on the podcast I am joined by a badass Boston based drummer named Dave Fox. I hesitate to call Dave just a drummer because he is so much more than that. He’s an educator, a touring musician, family man, and an inspiration for many players in the Boston area including myself.
Dave and I sit down in his home for a chat about growing up with music, learning the hustle, the Boston music scene and much more. This was truly a pleasure.

| #6 Stephen Kellogg - “The Guy I want least with me is the guy that was pissing on the beds” | 08 Apr 2019 | 01:47:09 | |
Stephen Kellogg is a singer/songwriter that believes in hard work and family. In my time playing drums and singing with Stephen I have learned countless lessons about so many things. Things including but not limited to family, music, marriage, and where to get the junk food after the gig in every city. I feel like the most important message/lesson SK delivers is to never give up. From selling demos in the halls of his college dorm, to being signed to a major label. From a band break up to working his way back to making (in my opinion) his best album yet, Stephen has shown over and over again that he’s in it for the long haul. It is my pleasure to let you sit in on one of our chats. Enjoy!

| #4 Sara Mahoney - "It's a Good Thing I'm Not High Right Now" | 26 Mar 2019 | 01:07:36 | |
The wonderful Sara Mahoney was a super fan, turned merch seller, turned tour manager for Stephen Kellogg. Sara is one of the best people to be on the road with, because of her kindness, hard-work, and being the best van shotgun seat passenger in the game! She is the first person I go to after the show for an honest opinion of how the show went, and she always tells it straight. In this episode we talk about what it's like to be on the road with SK, greek yogurt, buying shoes, unruly fans, and a bunch of other stuff. The featured music in this episode is "All the Love That Comes to Me", and "Irish Goodbye" by Stephen Kellogg (of course). Enjoy!!

| #2 Brandon Luciano | 12 Mar 2019 | 02:29:03 | |
Brandon Luciano loves all things music. He has been a DJ, producer, manager, and also an avid listener (duh) for his entire existence. Brandon and I met back in the brick and tile hallways of Western Hills Middle School in Cranston Rhode Island (it's been a while). It was a pleasure to sit down and talk for a WHILE about being on a big tour with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the music that makes us feel nostalgic, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't really recall (we also had a few beers).

We discus what it was like to be an understudy for the role of Carl Perkins on the broadway musical "Million Dollar Quartet" and how his songwriting style and overall approach to music has changed over the years.
