Could there be better way to go out before we do little hiatus on AHWM?? The answer is no. Today I am hanging with, probably my favorite guitar player of all time... Chuck Garvey! Chuck and his band moe. have had a gigantic influence on me, both as a guitarist and songwriter. I have always admired their ability to write great, catchy, songs as a vehicle to explore sonic spaces and improvisational territory - but they never sacrificed a great melody or groove in doing so. Sit back and enjoy this episode cuz I know I did! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I can’t wait to hear his story and I know you’ll dig this conversation too! Design by @thierry_lecuyer Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
To say that this band is one of my favorites, would be an understatement. There are few times in one life where something can touch you so deeply that it completely hijacks you from a path you knew wasn't right for you anyway. Their music and words and soul made me re-evaluate my life as a musician. Their songs borrow deep in your existence and just make you a better human... I can't explain it... it's just a fact. Their new album "Dog Ear" is probably my favorite in their catalog thus far. I feel like they continue to grow with each release and this record is no exception. Strap in while I saddle up for some of my fanboy s#!* Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
