Man the helm Man The Helm

This week is so surreal! Its not everyday you get to talk to one of your guitar hero's! Though its even better when one of them happens to be one of the nicest people on the planet. If you're not familiar with Andy Wood he got his start pickin the mandolin on a front porch in North Carolina and it seems like hes never stopped. From touring with "Down from Up", countless sessions, playing with Rascal Flatts, and his impressive solo instrumental albums; it seems like there is nothing that Andy can't do! We talk everything from the Woodshed Experience, guitar hero, gear, and so much more! I hope you enjoy this episode as much I did!

This week I sit down with Corey Congilio! Corey is touring guitarist, session musician, and music educator with over 20 years under his belt. We don't get too deep into his playing back story but more into how he broke into the industry. From working with TrueFire, gear demos, lesson, touring, playing session, and the countless clinics with Fishman and Martin Corey has done it all. Along with that his lessons through his site Working Class Guitar are absolutely top notch! Corey is such an awesome dude and such a phenomenal guitarist. I had a great time talking with Corey and I know you'll love it too!

So right when I started TikTok Alicca and I found each other and hit it off fairly quickly. She's an awesome singer and as she likes to put it "mediocre" guitar player..... I'd disagree. She's mostly on TikTok doing covers but she recently starting playing with a band "Drowning in Violet" and its pretty top notch stuff in my opinion. I had a great time finally getting to sit down and talk with Alicca and I know you all will enjoy the conversation too!

This week I sit down with Taylor Cox from Amplified Nation. Taylor got his start by restoring cab and started diving into the mysterious world of Dumble amp and he hasn't stop since. We get into Taylors back story, what drew him to the Dumble style of amps, and so much more. This is one of those conversations that I was pretty ignorant about but loved learning so much in our conversation. I had a blast talking with Taylor and I know you'll enjoy the conversation too.

This week I sit down with Jim Anthony. He's a singer/songwriter from the Minneapolis area is he has a pretty awesome story. We connected on tiktok a few weeks ago and after watching a bunch of his lives I knew I had to have him on the show. Jim is one of the most talented singer/songwriters I've had the opportunity to connect with on tiktok and his song "True American Hero" really pulls at my heart being a Veteran myself. I had a blast talking to Jim and I know you'll enjoy this episode as much I enjoyed recording it!
