    Ben Alleman

    He started his career touring with six-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dr. John. He's toured with Social Distortion, Grace Potter, Jenny Lewis, Elizabeth Cook, Samantha Fish, Betty Who—and me! He's a musician, writer, hired gun, solo artist, composer, producer, husband, Louisiana baw, an original wizard, and an active member of Justin Tocket's Dockside "wrecking crew." One of my dearest friends and closest collaborators, my bandmate, touring roommate, the man, the synth, the legend… it's Ben f*****g Alleman, y'all. https://www.benalleman.com/ patreon.com/sean_mcconnell

    Randy Rogers

    Randy Rogers has been the lead singer and songwriting powerhouse behind the Randy Rogers Band for over 25 years. I've had the privilege of writing many songs with Randy for the band— including "In My Arms Instead", "Buy Myself a Chance", "Satellite", "Interstate" and many more. Not long ago, he spent a few days at Silent Desert Studio, and graciously sat down with me for a deep dive into the craft. We talked songwriting, his time working with heroes like Guy Clark and Willie Nelson, why not having an early radio smash turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and his passion for passing the torch to the next generation of Texas songwriters and touring artists. www.randyrogersband.com patreon.com/sean_mcconnell

    Taylor McCall

    Taylor McCall came into his intimate gravely voice and other worldly cosmic songwriting somewhat late in the game, comparatively. I met Taylor in his early twenties through a co-write here at Silent Desert Studio and knew right away that we were kindred spirits, and that I wanted to make a record with this magic boy. Fast forward three records later that we've made together here mostly at Silent Desert Studio ("Black Powder Soul" 2021, "Mellow War" 2024, and "The Porch Session" 2024), and we have become not only constant co-creators but I also consider him one of my closest brothers. When it came time to decide who the first guest of the Out Of The Silent Desert Podcast would be, I didn't have to think twice. Tune in to hear us talking about songwriting, recording, Taylor touring with Robert Plant, ice baths, Link Wray, Jimmy Hendrix, and where we think songs may or may not come from.    Patreon Link: patreon.com/sean_mcconnell   Taylor McCall Website: https://www.taylormccall.com
