    #126 Billy Ferguson - “Aw shucks”

    Here he is.  The world’s sweetest sound guy.  It’s Billy Ferguson… I truly love Billy, and you should too.  He’s a hard worker, a great sound guy, and all around spectacular human being.  Billy was the former sound guy for Red Wanting Blue, and Carbon Leaf.  He’s a former fire fighter, and now holds the position of sound guy at The Harvester performance center in Rocky Mount, VA (I accidentally said it was in Roanoke in the podcast intro).  This was a fantastic conversation and I hope you enjoy it too!   After the Gig has a NEWSLETTER!  It’s free to subscribe and you can find it in the link! https://jessehumphrey.substack.com/p/after-the-gig-newsletter   https://www.facebook.com/groups/afterthegig   All links right here!! https://linktr.ee/jessehumphrey   EMAIL US! afterthegigpod@gmail.com   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/afterthegig/ @afterthegig
