    From Life to Lyrics: Joshua Michael Piper

    Send us a text We met up with singer/songwriter Joshua Michael Piper during the Valley Music Festival in Sun Valley, ID and had a chance to sit down for a quick visit on the podcast. Joshua lives and performs in the Pacific Northwest, with deep family ties to South East Idaho. We talked about his musical influences from this Grandparents, Parents as well as an Uncle that made lasting impressions on this artist and his music at a very young age.  Unfortunately our conversation was cut short when we were interrupted by a poorly timed joke. Their friends thought it would be funny to text them that their VRBO had caught fire! Luckily it all worked out.

    The Filthy Heathens ~ Outlaw Attitude, Full-Throttle Sound

    Send us a text  The Filthy Heathens came together during the chaos of the pandemic, brought together by a shared instinct to play loud, honest music with no safety net. What began with the chemistry between Bronson Hetzer, Ryan Palcic, and “Captain” Craig Bishop, took shape fast when guitarists Cody Doench and Dawson Stepp joined the fold. Five members. No brakes. I sat down with The Filthy Heathens for a high-energy, no-filter conversation about their raw approach to rock-driven country and the road-tested grit that fuels their sound. We talked about how the band came together, the stories behind their most hard-hitting songs, and what it’s really like grinding it out night after night in clubs and festivals while building a loyal fanbase the old-school way. Their passion for loud guitars, honest lyrics, and putting on a show that leaves nothing on the table made this interview a perfect snapshot of a band that’s hungry, fearless, and carving out their own lane in today’s independent music scene.

    SALINAS ROAD ~ High Country Conversations ~ California to Idaho

    Send us a text Salinas Road joined us on the podcast in Sun Valley, Idaho, where the California duo opened up about the contrasting paths that shaped their shared sound. Paul Cruz grew up near the beach, influenced by the rhythm of the coast and the laid-back energy of ocean life, while Bill Jones spent his youth in the mountains of Southeast California, hunting with his dad and learning the values of patience, grit, and self-reliance. Together, those two worlds—coastal and high desert—collide in their music, creating a balance of openness and grounded storytelling. From their roots in Julian to meeting us in Sun Valley, their story is one of distance, connection, and the unexpected harmony found when different backgrounds come together on the same road.
