No Simple Road Osiris Media / No Simple Road Media

Prepare to be swept away by Grammy-winning banjo maestro Kyle Tuttle, as he shares the heartbeats and strums of his life in our latest episode. Celebrate Kyle's artistic triumphs, from the echo of his Grammy win to the personal resonance of his album "Labor of Lust," and join us in a toast to the musical journey that's as much about the soul as it is about strings. Our conversation weaves through the intimate moments behind his successes—acknowledging the shadows of mentorship loss and heartache that lend depth to his euphonic tales.
As Kyle peels back the layers of his transformation from a metalhead to a Grateful Dead devotee, you'll find yourself chuckling over the quirky notes of his life, like his cat's feeder spitting both kibble and rap lyrics. We traverse the evolving landscape of Bluegrass, touching on its traditional roots and the vibrant new riffs that artists like Kyle are bringing to the stage. Our dialogue with Kyle is a symphony of stories, from the vivid memories at the Jerry Garcia Museum to the cherished camaraderie within his beloved band, The Golden Highway, painting a portrait of an artist whose life is as richly textured as his music.
Kyle Tuttle's strings sing of persistence, passion, and the pure joy of musical connection. We talk about in the collective energy that ignites between performer and audience, sharing in the goosebump-inducing moments that only live music can bring. So tune in, tap your feet, and let this conversation with Kyle resonate with the beat of your own musical heart. Don't just listen—experience the rhythm of Kyle's journey and the melodies that continue to shape the Bluegrass scene.

This week on the rewind we step back a few weeks to WinterWonderGrass and a recap of our time there joined by special guest Scotty Stoughton!
We journeyed out to Lake Tahoe, California at the beginning of April for WinterWonderGrass and what we found waiting there was nothing short of magickal! A feeling of community, connection, and family like no other festival we have been to. From the beautiful surroundings of the snow and mountains, to the expertly curated musical line-up, this was one for the books for sure.
We talk a bit with Scotty about some of the challenges, the wins, and some of his reasons for continuing to put it all on the line to create these experiences for the community and the artists alike. We share what we thought makes this festival stand apart from others and we get a bit of wisdom from Scotty as to how to proceed once the music and crowds have gone away.

Join us for a transformative journey as Dr. Jeff McNairy, the Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, shares his inspiring transition from the conventional Western medical sphere to the profound world of plant medicine in Costa Rica. We explore Dr. Jeff's disillusionment with traditional healthcare's approach to trauma and his embrace of culturally sensitive and empowering healing practices. His story is a testament to the potential for personal and professional evolution, and the miracles that unfold when one steps beyond the limitations of the status quo.
Embark on an intimate conversation surrounding Rythmia's healing retreats, where the power of ayahuasca brings hope to those grappling with life's heaviest burdens. Discover how a supportive environment, complete with medical supervision and personalized care, is crucial for the uninitiated embarking on this sacred journey. We delve into the nuanced process of post-ayahuasca integration, we reveal the comprehensive aftercare that supports attendees in their continued path to wholeness.
In this heartfelt episode, we navigate the complex considerations of participating in an ayahuasca retreat, from the precautions around certain medications to understanding the cultural perceptions of mental health challenges. Hear the moving story of a Vietnamese woman who, despite language barriers, found solace and strength through her own ayahuasca experience. Wrap up the conversation with reflections on personal transformation and the necessity of investing in oneself when seeking such powerful, life-altering experiences. Whether you're drawn to the healing rhythms of IKOROS or the promise of reconnecting with your true self, this episode is an invitation to consider the profound impact of plant medicine on the human spirit.

This week on the rewind we're taking everything we learned while seeing Phish at The Sphere in Las Vegas and laying it out for those of us headed to see Dead & Company over the next few months. Getting into the venue, security, after-the-show scene, and all the rest.
The Sphere venue in Las Vegas is not just a concert location, it's an otherworldly experience that reshapes our understanding of live music. Join us as we recount how the sound system and acoustics of the Sphere left an indelible mark, providing a concert experience that lingers long after the final note. We help you navigate the electric maze that is Vegas during a buzzing weekend of racing and Dead and Company concerts, sharing gems on how to thrive in its pulsing throng, especially for those of us who are more empathically inclined. We even get into a little of Vegas' post-concert psychedelia and how it paints a vivid picture of the city's unique brand of chaos, as we muse over potential setlists and visuals for a Sphere concert that could redefine the Dead and Company experience.
Throughout the episode, we touch upon the community and camaraderie that defines the Dead & Company shows, offering a blend of reverence for the original Grateful Dead legacy and excitement for this fresh chapter. We wrap up with a contemplation of life's journey, likening our individual paths to the meticulous process of alchemy, where challenges transmute into growth and clarity emerges from the chaos.

The comforting rhythm of routine can be just as enchanting as the electric buzz of a live event, as Mel, Apple, and I reminisce about the post-Sphere event bliss and the quirky sprout-hiding antics of our pals Meg and Sean.
This week we're grooving to the soundwaves of International Orange, whose sophisticated beats are the perfect backdrop to our tales — from a virtual listening party to their upcoming New York gigs, we've got the scoop on why this band is a must-see for fans of funky vibes akin to Medeski, Martin and Wood.
Experience the thrill of a live music journey with us as a fan calls in to rave about the Disco Biscuits' tour, sparking reflections on our insightful interview with Barber and the transformative power of their performances. The conversation then sails into the choppy waters of Grateful Dead-centric festivals, pondering the future of these iconic events as we speculate on the potential rise of more intimate, community-driven gatherings. Join us for this candid exploration of resilience in the music scene, personal milestones, and the strangely elastic concept of time that stretches and contracts in the wake of the pandemic.
