    State Champs of the Fan Experience with Tyler Szalkowski

    This week we are sitting down with Tyler Szalkowski of State Champs! We dive into what his musical influences growing up were and how pivotal his Mom was in developing his taste. Tyler talks about the founding of State Champs and what his journey was with pursuing making music and being in bands before State Champs was created. We also ask him about their recent self titled album and what releasing that means to him and the band. Lor and Tyler get into a fiery debate about what makes an “album”, and he expands on their mindset while writing this recent album. Tyler talks about fan appreciation and keeping the fans involved, (including making a cake for a fan who has seen well over 100+ shows), and how much he appreciates interacting with their fans.

    On the Road with Ellie White and Victoria Haft of Taylor Acorn’s Team

    This week we are sitting down and chatting with Tour Manager Victoria Haft and Photographer/Videographer Ellie White of Taylor Acorn's team! We jump into how we all met and know each other and how our connections brought us all together. Lor asks Ellie and Victoria about the one show that put the idea of working on the road with artists into their minds and what their first tour or show that they actually worked on was. We talk about the need to decompress after being on the road and what that does to you physically and mentally and how the connections you make on the road always seem to pop back up when you least expect it. Ellie and Victoria share some of their favorite memories of this tour run, how being close to an artist can pull you into a genre that you may never have been a huge fan of before, and what artists they are currently listening to right now. Listen in on our chaotic and fun talk as we dive into everything tour life and working behind the scenes in the industry on this week’s episode of Beyond the Barricade! ----------------------Follow Victoria and EllieVictoria: https://www.instagram.com/victoriahaft (https://www.instagram.com/victoriahaft) Ellie: https://www.instagram.com/wild.child.productions (https://www.instagram.com/wild.child.productions) ----------------------Follow All Things Backing The Barricade:https://www.backingthebarricade.com/ (https://www.backingthebarricade.com/)https://www.instagram.com/backingthebarricade/ (https://www.instagram.com/backingthebarricade/)https://www.tiktok.com/@backingthebarricade (https://www.tiktok.com/@backingthebarricade)----------------------Follow Madi:https://www.instagram.com/earthtomadison/ (https://www.instagram.com/earthtomadison/)Follow Lor:https://www.instagram.com/lorealmichele/ (https://www.instagram.com/lorealmichele/)----------------------

    Capturing Authenticity with Collin Walsh of Grayscale

    This week we are sitting down and chatting with Collin Walsh, the lead singer of Grayscale. We dive right into Collin’s personal musical influences growing up such as Led Zeppelin and Third Eye Blind, and how Bruce Springsteen and Bleachers have influenced the band as a whole. Collin talks about the writing and recording of their latest album and how capturing the most authentic version of themselves as a band with each of their own life experiences was a major point in the records’ creation. As we go further into our musical tastes and influences Collin talks about being inspired by artists who do not cave into the pressure of what others think of their music, and how they create music that allows the listener to connect on a deeper level with the storytelling and personal emotion behind the songs.

    Going Down the Rabbit Hole with Jordan Shepherd of City of Auburn

    This week on Beyond the Barricade we got to sit down and chat with Jordan Shepherd, aka Jshep, of the band City of Auburn. We dive right into the friendship origin of Lor and Jordan, which leads to some uncoverings and revelations on who came up with the name for the podcast, and how Jordan helped inspire and motivate Lor to begin this project. Jordan talks about his early passions for music from his parents and friends, and what led him to pursue music as he is now. Madi asks about the one show that really influenced Jordan and how he performs on stage today, Lor has him jump into what album got him through his toughest of times, and if Jordan has influenced anyone recently in his life with music like those who did so for him.
