Customer Reviews
Life and Music with Humor thrown in (not everything has to be a funeral)
Brett does an excellent job of recounting his many adventures of touring all over the world in the last eight years while bringing on guests, many that have decades of more experience in the music world, to tell unique stories that I have not heard in other interviews. Brett uses the “branches on a tree” style of interviewing where it is more like a conversation and podcast flows organically from topic to topic between off the cuff riffing and the standard “Where did you get started?” hits. A definite Wisconsin bent runs through the episodes with many musicians known in that region, not famous outside it, which leads to exposure to artists that could become your next favorite.
Jonny P rules
New subscriber - few episodes in, & digging it. Love the host’s formula & good energy. Keep up the great work
Crunchy Tales From the Road
The perfect podcast for the DIY music scene, and for fun stories from the road in general. Great guests and a great host talking about great music (and the occasional disastrous gig)
