All Jammed Up

Halloween in Baltimore did not disappoint! Billy Strings, Kendall Street Company, 65 North Pickers, and Fireside Collective all in the span of a few days, and we got plenty to talk about on the pod - we also have a new segment for you guys!

For the interview portion of the show we are joined by Salem Ofa, who has been on the podcast before. However, this time he came all the way from the Bay Area to be with us in person! We get into the healing powers of plant medicine, GD60, the Grateful Dead being punk rock, Billy carrying the torch, and more!

Chloe and I are back from Hulaween! We recap the incredibly rewarding weekend with new friends, new music, and new experiences.

We also got to sit down with a few guys from the band, Lettuce. They tell us about things staying the same, but always changing. Being analog, but welcoming digital. The magic at Suwanee and how important it is to get lost every now and then. We get some tips before our trip to Europe and a little forecast on the New York Knicks.

We talk about the East Nash guys, the influence of Bela Fleck and Colonel Bruce Hampton, "effortless mastery", the reproduction of eels - or at least the mystery of it.
