    Jake Dillon-Jake Of All Tradez

    Jake Dillon was so good at the drums, it didn't matter that he was only 17 playing Thursday Night Jazz in the bars in the early 90's with the Knox College combo, it was right where he was suppose to be. If you've been to a Rootabaga Jazz festival in the last few decades, Jake was probably there with the alumni band. Then again in the early to mid 2000's you might have seen him fronting a metal project and went wait, what can't this guy do? Jake shares his many early influences with us too. Dad's finger tapping on everything was one, the jazz greats he discovered was another and Knoxville Jazz/Orchestra director Bob Olmsted, gave Jake invaluable advice & direction, and of course the Knox legend who gave Jake some of his first opportunities, Scott Garlock. Jake's current musical output is quite impressive and he shared plenty of it with us on this episode, including an ear-worm theme song for our podcast that Jake wrote hours before showing up. It's fantastic and now our official theme song. But most impressive are the self produced tracks Jake brought with him. Find all the songs at these times.. 32:11 Two Pump Chump 40:10 Men In Red Bleed 1:08:40 IDFWPWFWPIDFW 1:28:21 Neighborhood Legend Jake is currently on the lookout for musicians for current & upcoming projects, so drop him a message if you're serious. We truly hope you enjoy going A Little Off Track with the super-duper talented, Jake Dillon.

    Chris Carr: His Tongue Really Is 8 Feet Long

    This is the episode that almost wasn't. We invited singer songwriter Chris Carr to the podcast before but for whatever reason it didn't work out. So he finally comes to record our first episode in 13 months & it's riddled with crazy out of our control tech issues, & we almost scrapped it. Thanks to the magic of our studio proprietor, we got most of the episode back & we hope you love it in all it's messy glory. Thanks Billy. Chris Carr has been making music for over 30 years now, The 90's was Pods Pinion, garnering a trip to NYC based on a demo. Crash & The Witness & Ghost Town Choir were amazing projects born in the 21 st century & now along with the uber talented Eric Christian & Adam Stuart a new project called, Statues Of Ash. Skip to 45:38 to hear the single, Wait Your Turn & 58:48 to hear the single King Wins Again. Listen and then raise hell for this Maple City trio to play live. We get two songs in their infancy performed live in this episode from Chris. I'd like to apologize again to Chris for talking over the end of that song, the caffeine ran strong through this episode. Chris wrote one song on a napkin on the ride over. We salvaged the good parts from an episode that died twice. Ted, Billy & I are happy to welcome one of my favorite people on the planet, Chris Carr for episode 13. credits: all music by Chris Carr & Statues Of Ash also featuring the music of Ghost Town Choir & Crash & The Witness FIND MORE ON THE BAND... https://music.apple.com/us/artist/statues-of-ash/1762132662 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDEZzwJJQf9-MfChj8HNSsQ
