    Ep 262 Tim DiJulio (Lazy Susan/Duff McKagan/Stereo Embers)

    Ep 262 Tim DiJulio (Lazy Susan/Duff McKagan/Stereo Embers)

    Tim DiJulio has been a fixture on the Seattle rock 'n roll scene for decades and leads the charge on many guitar-fueled nights in local clubs. Tim was a member of the first band I saw perform in a club in Seattle in 1993 and I've always looked up to him so it was a great pleasure to host him on this episode of the Couch Riffs Podcast. Most recently, Tim and I have become bandmates playing together in Duff McKagan's solo band in support of his newest album, Lighthouse, which Tim tracked many of the guitars for. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed this time shared with Tim.

    Ep 261 Chris Jordan (Sunny Day Real Estate/Spirit Award)

    Ep 261 Chris Jordan (Sunny Day Real Estate/Spirit Award)

    My guest this episode is Chris Jordan, bassist for the Seattle bands Sunny Day Real Estate and Spirit Award. Chris has been an awesome addition to SDRE since the band's reunion and subsequent touring from 2022 through to today. The month this podcast is released the band will be releasing a live studio re-recording of the SDRE debut, Diary, and it is glorious. It also features an unreleased song from the band, reworked during this session. Be sure to check Sunny Day Real Estate out when they come through town and give the new recording a listen. You won't be sorry.

    Ep 260 Corey McCormick (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real/Neil Young/Chris Cornell/Willie Nelson)

    Ep 260 Corey McCormick (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real/Neil Young/Chris Cornell/Willie Nelson)

    This comeback episode we talk to Corey McCormick, bassist in Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Willie Nelson, Chris Cornell and none other than Neil Young. Honestly, Corey has my favorite resume of any guest I've had to date. He's an incredibly talented musician and a top-shelf dude. I caught him on a day off in Seattle where Corey was treated to a brief tour of some Seattle spots and then we sat for the podcast. The next day Corey came to Crackle & Pop where he and a group of us tracked a new live cover for Couch Riffs. Corey was phenomenal as was the entire band. 
    I hope you enjoy this podcast! Catch Corey on tour NOW with Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real. And, if you're enjoying Couch Riffs Podcast please support us on Patreon.

    Ep 259 Kristian Dunn (El Ten Eleven)

    Ep 259 Kristian Dunn (El Ten Eleven)

    Our guest this episode is Kristian Dunn, one-half of the instrumental rock band, El Ten Eleven. We cover Kristian's young musical life, his influences, love of sci-fi and writing as well as plenty of El Ten Eleven history. I met Kristian and Tim (El Ten Eleven) on tour last year and got to enjoy their music almost nightly and I can't recommend enough to see them. There is so much music coming off of the stage from two musicians with no pre-recorded loops. Be sure to check them out when they tour next for an upcoming release this Fall and go out and support independent music by buying theirs where ever you like to buy music, downloads or vinyl at the record store! I hope you enjoy this episode.

    Ep 258 Peter Summit (Crashing Wayward)

    Ep 258 Peter Summit (Crashing Wayward)

    Our guest this episode is Peter Summit, singer/front person for the Las Vegas band Crashing Wayward. Peter walks us through his history as a singer from his earliest days as a karaoke star to touring and single parenting as a working musician. Crashing Wayward release their debut album, Listen, on June 9 2023. The album is chock full of fantastic songs that sound familiar without being derivative and contemporary without losing its appeal to classic rock fans. Look out for this band to explode. I thoroughly enjoyed hosting Peter and I hope you enjoy this, too. Be sure to stream Listen on all major streaming platforms the week this episode comes out!

Great guests

Great assortment of guests. Thanks for all the NW legends.

Love this podcast!

Mike does great, laid back interviews, mostly with musicians but even the ones who weren’t are is really interesting people. Check out his Couch Riff music videos as well. They’re incredible!

Shermancat ,

Musicians interviewed by a musician! Listen to this.

First thing. The guy Squires is a great interviewer. He knows how to hang with the musicians and seems to ask questions they do not always get. Not gotcha or shockers but relationship building questions. The music part of the Riffs is always fun too. What will they do?
