    Episode 84: KYNG & Apple Tree

    The Half & Half Music Podcast is back with Eddie and Pepe from KYNG; but this isn’t your typical band interview. Paul and Pepe dive into their newest collaboration, the Apple Tree Creative Center, a nonprofit dedicated to giving local youth access to music and the arts. Together with Eddie, they talk about creativity, purpose, and how the meaning of music evolves when it’s used to build community. It’s an honest, off-the-cuff conversation that blends friendship, reflection, and plenty of laughs while looking ahead to the first Apple Tree fundraiser, where KYNG will headline in El Paso, TX on November 8th and hosted by Metal Ambassador Jose Mangin.
