Episode 263 features Jesse Procaccini of the Maryland-based pop-punk band The Last Second Save. They’ve been putting out music for a couple of years now, and this episode has been a little while in the making. I finally got Jesse on the show a bit spontaneously this week when he had time to chat, and we got talking about everything the his band has been up to. I featured the tracks 'Baltimore' and 'In this together.' If you like either of them, you can find the band on all the streaming platforms. In the interview, we talked about balancing being in a band with family life, as well as songwriting, record labels, and playing shows. Thanks for supporting local music and art.

Episode 262 features Kelsey from MYM Visuals. She is a music photographer in the Baltimore area who has worked with all types of bands and is currently shooting live shows all over the region. I wanted to have her on the pod because of our mutual background in the Fire Department and I wanted to help tell her story. Also, I aimed to release this episode this week in particular because I am dropping a new song today called '911,' which is highly personal and germane to our conversation. The new track is featured on this episode and The Hollow Truths Spotify. We did an in-depth interview about our shared experiences transitioning from the Fire/EMS world to working in the arts. Kelsey was able to share many inspiring personal stories that highlight her perseverance and strength. If you are looking for fresh content for your band, I believe you will enjoy collaborating with her. She is not only talented but also a great person as well. I am happy to see her business continue to grow and recommend that you check out @mymvisuals online if you are interested in her work and/or booking her for a show. Thanks for listening and supporting local art.

Episode 260 features Amanda Grace, a songwriter from Minnesota whose style drifts between folk, alt-pop/rock, and Americana. Amanda just released her eighth album called 'Give Me Away,' and I featured the title track as well as a song called 'The Last Ones,' which we discussed in our conversation. If you like either of them, you can check them out whenever you buy or stream music. Amanda has an often retrospective and rhetorical lyrical style that she hopes will inspire self-belief and encourage others to push for what they believe in, even when the world tells them it might be too difficult. In the interview, we talked about her new album, being a mom, and balancing long days with creative pursuits. Go check her out on all social media platforms and give her a follow.

Episode 259 features Man Must Explore from Albany, NY. They are an alt-rock band who has been releasing music since 2021. In the interview, I spoke with Ryan & Thomas. They will be in town playing a show at The Undercroft in Baltimore this Thursday, April 4th, and we (The Hollow Truths) will be joining them on the bill as well as New Clarity & Makeup Girl. So, I wanted to get the guys on the show to talk about that, as well as their music in general. It was a fun conversation; we covered all the usual working musician topics, as well as a few other random things, such as our ideas on songwriting, our theories on Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, and the importance of art in the modern age. The band name is taken from the words spoken by astronaut David Scott on the Apollo 15 mission: 'I sort of realize there’s a fundamental truth to our nature, Man Must Explore, and this is exploration at its greatest.' I featured the tracks 'Rx' and 'Tsunami'. If you like either of them, you can find Man Must Explore on all the streaming and social media platforms. Thanks for listening and supporting local music.

Episode 258 features Jeremy Parsons from San Antonio, TX, a country songwriter who first began releasing music in 2010. After living in Nashville for several years, Jeremy returned to Texas where he released his last album, ‘Things to Come,’ in 2021. It was added to a Spotify Editorial playlist, earning over 137,000 streams of the title track. I wanted to have Jeremy on the pod after serendipitously catching his set at a bar during SXSW in Austin last week. I really enjoyed his thought-provoking lyrics and the way his songwriting seemed to resonate with my own sensibilities. I specifically noticed his song “I Am” and featured it on this episode. In our conversation, we discussed the Nashville and Texas music scenes, overcoming addiction, as well as making a living as an artist. He’s also crossed paths with some notable names during his time in Nashville, which we also discussed. If you like his music, definitely go find him on social media and/or any of the streaming services, or check out his website listed in the episode notes. Thanks for listening and supporting local music.
