Episode 50?!



Wow, how did we get here?!



With a ton of amazing guests, for sure! :)



This week is no different! I've got Phil Kegley and Paul Chapin from HOW MUCH?! Studio/Production company in Austin, Texas.



They were gracious enough to not only be my guests for the 50th episode, but ALSO created an incredible set and recorded a very special Video Version of Artists Loving Artists in person at  HOW MUCH?! to celebrate!



Phil and Paul have a unique ability to truly MANIFEST. "How Much?!" started as a simple concept to create a brand through the pandemic. Flash forward to 2023: they are a full on recording studio, production company, & live music venue that is as authentic as the fellas themselves. What an accomplishment!



Not only that: Phil and Paul are Musician's too -Listen in as we deep dive into their rich history of projects, how they met, and what their goals for HOW MUCH?! are! (Hint: they're on the right track)



Tune is as we enjoy each other's company in real life and hear their picks for the week!



Artists on Deck Include: The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, and Tool!



SO MUCH THANKS to Phil & Paul for hosting the podcast and myself.



Check them out on Instagram: @howmuchatx !



Cheers to 50 episodes, all of the ALA listeners out there, and here's to 500 more! :)

Welcome back to Artists Loving Artists!



This week is another banger of an episode: I've got Paul West as a guest on the Pod!



I happily stumbled upon Paul whilst on vacation on Maui, Hawai'i just a couple of weeks ago. Stopping by the infamous Fleetwood's on Front St., I was lucky enough to get a seat at the rooftop bar and hear Paul play to a FULL house with the Maui Mountains and Ocean surrounding us. What gig!



Paul's authenticity and song choices captivated me and I knew he had to be guest!



Tune in as we discuss Paul's journey from Texas>Cali>Maui, how his roots are intertwined with his music, all about the progress on his new album: Eight Palms Ranch, and get into his picks for the week!



We definitely agree: the Singer-Songwriter 3 chord formula works and his picks show you how...



Artists on Deck include: The Band, Jason Isbell, and The Talking Heads!



Do yourself a favor and check out Paul @ Fleetwood's on Front St. f you happen to be heading to or are on Maui (he's there every week!) Check out his updates at www.paulwestmusic.com and follow him in real-time on Instagram @paulwestmusic.



Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging out, Paul!

Wow! Welcome Back to Artists Loving Artists-

Season 2 is just getting started and I'm feeling so grateful and so stoked to introduce this weeks guest. Grammy Nominated Artist and another personal hero of mine: G. Love!

G. Love (aka: Garrett Dutton) is gearing up for his latest release: Philadelphia Mississippi set to drop as an NFT on June 6th and Album June 24th! From street performing to the big time, G. has been creating his own seriously unique style and story along the way. His constant ability to create, collaborate and evolve is a trait not all Artists can do so authentically and we love to see it.

Tune in as G. and I talk about his ever growing creative hustle and flow, hear all about Philadelphia Mississippi, and how this album sets itself apart + why collaboration is so important. That's not all!

We get into G.'s picks for the week and hear some incredible stories and memories he's got attached to them.

Artists on Deck include: Eric B. & Rakim & John Lee Hooker!

HUGE thanks to G. Love for stopping by Artists Loving Artists!

Be sure to pick up G.'s album available as an NFT on June 6th (which includes special token holder perks) and Album drop on June 24th! He will be in Austin September 9th @ the Moody Theater.

Follow him @phillyglove on Instagram/ @Glove on Twitter / www.philadelphonic.com for all updates!

Have a great week everyone and enjoy the show!
