Oh, You're In A Band‪?‬ Robert Shepherd

The one, the only, the legendary Bill Keller is my guest this week. I've known Bill for over 15 years now and he's been nothing but a steady dependable friend who's got lots of crazy stories to tell and tell them we do. Lots of laughter and stubbornness from this episode I tell you.

This is a special episode of the pod, not a live interview, not a current audio, but a throwback episode to once again celebrate my good friend Derek White, who is no longer with us. This audio comes cobbled together from 2 separate episodes of a college radio show we hosted back in 2007-2008 called the Random Arse Radio Show. It's not necessarily about music per say, although we do talk about it a little, but its just some fun forgotten chatter with one of my best friends who I miss very much to celebrate his birthday.

This week is another special episode week where we dive into the fans perspective of live music. My guest is my bud Jason Jones who's been to more concerts than I have ever heard of in my life. We talk about the recent Sick New World concert in Las Vegas and just what drives us as fans to go to live shows and the connections we form with bands.

Hear the thrills of today episode with the very talented Clayton Aronowitz of the Big Dam Horns. This week's episode was recorded on his porch during a fancy spring rainfall so there's a very laid back and chill vibe. Also loud rain at parts so.... sorry about that. This week we talk about his Valentine's Day 'Tuba-grams', what its like to wrangle a 13 piece band, and what makes the difference in a band when you do and don't know your musical counterparts.

One of my oldest friends in the world its Dr. Nicholas Mortensen III in the flesh. Finally had a moment to sit down with Nick and just fall right back into the ridiculousness that we used to get into while we try to uncover his musical history, what drives him to make cool music, and just how he has made it this far with those stubby little sausages he calls his fingers.

Its a Resident Hero reunion! Back after an over 10 years hiatus the band is back together fresh from a reunion show a few weeks back. I've got the gentlemen Ryan White, Jay Warren, and Luke Agajanian talking about whats its like to be back together after all these years, a few hypothetical ideas of what would have happened had they never broken up, how they wrote all their tunes and filled such a huge sound despite being a trio, as well as talk a little about the future of Resident Hero and everything in-between. It's a super sized season 2 premiere and it was a blast hearing these gents rip on each other once again.
