    My guest this episode is Seattle's own Ayron Jones and it was a pleasure to host him and get to know him a bit better though this conversation. Ayron is currently working on a new album after a couple years of touring and opening for some big acts around the world including The Rolling Stones and Guns 'n Roses. I'll be looking forward to hearing where he takes his music next and what is on the horizon for him. I hope you enjoy!

    Ep 283 Parker Lundgren (Diablo Guitars/former-Queensryche)

    Our guest this episode is Parker Lundgren, former guitarist of Queensryche and owner/operator of Diablo Guitars in Renton WA (Seattle). I have known Parker for quite a long time and it was fun to sit down and catch up about his journey from touring metal guitarist to operator of one of the most exciting and unique guitar stores anywhere.

    Ep 282 Rev (The Drowns)

    Our guest this episode is the magnificent Rev from Seattle's own, The Drowns. I can't believe that Rev and I never met before or became tight bros through all of our collective time in Seattle. But, let me say that I'm grateful to know him now. What a dude and what a cool band! Rev and The Drowns will be playing Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas this month as well as leaving on tour in Europe this summer including another go at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool (UK). Be sure to catch them live! I hope you enjoy the episode! If you're enjoying Couch Riffs content, please support us on Patreon and help Mike stay living indoors. He loves it there.

    MAY 6

    Ep 281 Aaron Beam (Red Fang)

    I was just as pleased as a pig in shit to host this episode with Aaron Beam of Portland's own Red Fang. I've been a fan of the band for quite a long time and have enjoyed seeing them every time time I've had the opportunity. The band is currently taking a break to gather itself and get some fresh air but has recently released Deep Cuts, an album of rarities, demos, covers and odd & ends, to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. May we get 20 more years from them! I hope you enjoy this conversation! If you are enjoying the Couch Riffs Podcast please consider supporting on Patreon.
