No Simple Road Osiris Media / No Simple Road Media

Every so often, a conversation tilts the axis of your day—this chat with Cris Jacobs about his new album, 'One of These Days,' is one of those rare gems. On the cusp of its release, Cris unfolds the narrative of this deeply personal project, from tapping into the raw emotions of the pandemic to rekindling his bluegrass heritage. It's a tale woven with the threads of collaboration, as talents like Billy Strings and LeAnn Womack lend their voices, enriching the tapestry of sound that Cris and the Infamous Stringdusters bring to life in the studio. Their collective energy pulses through the stories shared, a heartbeat that underscores the transformative nature of music in both the creator's and listener's life.
What happens when the comforting clasp of guitar strings leads to healing? As Cris recounts, the gentle nudge from Jerry Douglas to embrace his bluegrass roots became a gateway to therapeutic discovery and unveiling the art of album-making—sans written songs. It's a space where mental health walks hand-in-hand with melodic expression, where authenticity isn't just a buzzword but the core of Cris' musical rejuvenation. The intimate interplay of fatherhood and the music industry's rigors also gets its due, offering a glimpse into the balancing act that shapes an artist's world.
Ending on an anticipatory note, we ponder Cris' upcoming plans, from his involvement in the enchanting Sojourn in Porto with the great Matt Butler to the excitement of sharing 'One of These Days' with eager ears. The chat becomes a reflection pool of support and camaraderie within the music community, a reminder of how it sustains us in the ebbs and flows of life. This episode, laden with laughter, revelations, and the warmth of familial interruptions, invites you to witness the joy that springs from the heart of making music.

This week on the rewind we step back a few weeks to WinterWonderGrass and a recap of our time there joined by special guest Scotty Stoughton!
We journeyed out to Lake Tahoe, California at the beginning of April for WinterWonderGrass and what we found waiting there was nothing short of magickal! A feeling of community, connection, and family like no other festival we have been to. From the beautiful surroundings of the snow and mountains, to the expertly curated musical line-up, this was one for the books for sure.
We talk a bit with Scotty about some of the challenges, the wins, and some of his reasons for continuing to put it all on the line to create these experiences for the community and the artists alike. We share what we thought makes this festival stand apart from others and we get a bit of wisdom from Scotty as to how to proceed once the music and crowds have gone away.

Join us for a transformative journey as Dr. Jeff McNairy, the Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, shares his inspiring transition from the conventional Western medical sphere to the profound world of plant medicine in Costa Rica. We explore Dr. Jeff's disillusionment with traditional healthcare's approach to trauma and his embrace of culturally sensitive and empowering healing practices. His story is a testament to the potential for personal and professional evolution, and the miracles that unfold when one steps beyond the limitations of the status quo.
Embark on an intimate conversation surrounding Rythmia's healing retreats, where the power of ayahuasca brings hope to those grappling with life's heaviest burdens. Discover how a supportive environment, complete with medical supervision and personalized care, is crucial for the uninitiated embarking on this sacred journey. We delve into the nuanced process of post-ayahuasca integration, we reveal the comprehensive aftercare that supports attendees in their continued path to wholeness.
In this heartfelt episode, we navigate the complex considerations of participating in an ayahuasca retreat, from the precautions around certain medications to understanding the cultural perceptions of mental health challenges. Hear the moving story of a Vietnamese woman who, despite language barriers, found solace and strength through her own ayahuasca experience. Wrap up the conversation with reflections on personal transformation and the necessity of investing in oneself when seeking such powerful, life-altering experiences. Whether you're drawn to the healing rhythms of IKOROS or the promise of reconnecting with your true self, this episode is an invitation to consider the profound impact of plant medicine on the human spirit.

This week on the rewind we're taking everything we learned while seeing Phish at The Sphere in Las Vegas and laying it out for those of us headed to see Dead & Company over the next few months. Getting into the venue, security, after-the-show scene, and all the rest.
The Sphere venue in Las Vegas is not just a concert location, it's an otherworldly experience that reshapes our understanding of live music. Join us as we recount how the sound system and acoustics of the Sphere left an indelible mark, providing a concert experience that lingers long after the final note. We help you navigate the electric maze that is Vegas during a buzzing weekend of racing and Dead and Company concerts, sharing gems on how to thrive in its pulsing throng, especially for those of us who are more empathically inclined. We even get into a little of Vegas' post-concert psychedelia and how it paints a vivid picture of the city's unique brand of chaos, as we muse over potential setlists and visuals for a Sphere concert that could redefine the Dead and Company experience.
Throughout the episode, we touch upon the community and camaraderie that defines the Dead & Company shows, offering a blend of reverence for the original Grateful Dead legacy and excitement for this fresh chapter. We wrap up with a contemplation of life's journey, likening our individual paths to the meticulous process of alchemy, where challenges transmute into growth and clarity emerges from the chaos.
