Episode 6 - ALLEN EPLEY SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW... A Johnny Radio Podcast

    • Music Interviews

ALLEN EPLEY is an alt-rock legend with not one, but two amazing bands: Shiner and The Life and Times. Adding a third to the equation, Birdhands, is a welcome surprise but also no surprise at all when you consider this man's disciplined work ethic. We talk about all of these these musical projects as well as his side gigs ranging from teaching to bartending to being an integral part of the Blue Man Group band in Chicago for the past 10 years. On top of all that, Mr. Epley also finds the time to host a successful podcast of his own, Third Gear Scratch, which if you are involved in music or art in any form, you absolutely must check out. He truly peels back the curtain on the music industry and gives an honest glance on why artists do what they do. I hope to have done some justice to Allen and his own story which hits on childhood, fatherhood, and the brotherhood that fuels his passion to keep making music with friends.
