Nick Griemsmann (author, minister)
Episode 173- Nick Griemsmann! In all the interviews I’ve done, Nick’s story is the most incredible. While working a bartender at a nightclub he decided he wanted a different life for himself. After joining the infamous Tony Alamo cult, Nick was diagnosed with “incurable” schizophrenia. After multiple hospitalizations, medications and hard times, he began a healing journey. He eventually received a “decertification letter” that said he no longer had a diagnosis of schizophrenia. It’s an incredibly inspiring story that we both hope can help people struggling with mental illness.

Kevin Steele (Roxx Gang, Mojo Gurus)
Episode 138 - Kevin Steele from Roxx Gang & Mojo Gurus! Roxx Gang was another band that should have been much bigger in my opinion. The band had some tragedies and substance abuse issues, but did put out some great music. Their debut album “Things You’ve Never Done Before” was produced by Beau Hill (Warrant, Ratt) and went on to sell 250,000 copies. Kevin also formed the band Mojo Gurus which had a more eclectic sound. This was a fun interview as Kevin didn’t hold back. Hear all about the early days, his thoughts on a Roxx Gang reunion, the future of Mojo Gurus and what famous 80s rock band he turned down an audition for!

Adam Czeisler (Sweet Water singer)
Episode 137 - Adam Czeisler of Sweet Water! If you have never heard this band you missed out! Thankfully they are back together and making new music. They were very big in Seattle in the 90s. Their songs were all over radio, and they played shows with Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Candlebox, and Flaming Lips. Their second record “Superfriends” was produced by Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains, Jane’s Addiction) and is criminally underrated. While the songs “Superstar” and “Feed Yourself” did get some national airplay, the whole record is phenomenal and still sounds great today. Adam tells me the whole story of the band, coming up in the 90s Seattle scene, and talks about the upcoming record and live shows!

Christopher P. Hilton (author)
Episode 126 - Christopher P. Hilton! Christopher wrote a great book, "The Rise, Fall & Rebirth of Hair Metal." This is the most comprehensive book on the subject I have ever seen. It starts off with defining the term hair metal, how it came to fruition and takes it from the beginning to present day. He covers all the big groups including Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, and more. But he also does a deep dive with many releases I was not familiar with but glad I discovered. In this interview we skim the contents of the book including many interesting facts such as the guest vocalist on Warrant's "Cherry Pie", Slash auditioning for Poison, and which hair band Christopher never really got in to. Great stuff!

Cody Jasper (Moon Fever singer)
Episode 118- Cody Jasper, singer of Moon Fever! I first found about this band while researching my interview with producer Jim Kaufman (The Black Moods, Them Evils). I quickly became a fan after hearing their song “Cocaine” which is nearing a half a million downloads on Spotify. They have a new single out now called “Cheap Thrills” that’s also really good, and an upcoming song called “Payphone” that should be big. They have performed with Buckcherry and have shows lined up with Adelita’s Way. It was fun to get to know Cody’s story while doing this interview.

Rodger Shute (author)
Episode 115- author Rodger Shute! In this episode, I sit down with my dad, author Rodger Shute to discuss his new book “Ultimate Reality.” In the book he explores the questions of consciousness, where we come from, why are we here and where are we going after death. He has put a lot of research in to this book (496 sources!) and it shows when discussing it with him how knowledgeable he is on the topics. We’ll discuss a little of his background and how he got interested in the topic and then we dive in to the book chapter by chapter. I even ask some questions at the end about things NOT in the book.

Steve "Lips" Kudlow (Anvil singer/guitarist)
Episode 109 - Steve “Lips” Kudlow, singer and guitarist for the band Anvil! Many people know the band from the award winning 2008 documentary, “Anvil: The Story of Anvil.” The band was incredibly influential early in the heavy metal game. With Motorhead, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and many more all citing them as an influence. Due to bad management and promotion the band didn’t break through to the next level. However after the success of the movie they finally broke through and continue to make albums and tour to this day. Lips is a great story teller and hilarious in this interview.

While their cover of Mississippi Queen has over 2 million listens on Spotify, the original music they’re putting out is brilliant and quickly gaining ground as is the band as a whole.
