SM Podcast Ep.16 "Guitars, Bars, and Boobs" w/Jason Carst

In this week's episode, I sit down for a chat about gigging, gear, beer, and boobs with Jason Carst. Jason is a solo cover musician from Central PA that specializes in live-looping performances of artists such as Ben Harper, Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, The Doors, and many more. Jason live-streams every single performance on Facebook, and he really goes the extra mile to ensure a high quality performance, both in person and online. Tons of things to learn and cool conversations were had in this one, give it a listen!!

SM Podcast Ep.15 "Storage Units Rock" w/Derek Henry

This week I sit down for a mid-morning chat with Derek Henry, lead vocalist and one-half of the band that is Observe the 93rd. We talked about everything we could possibly think about, and even had some background jams provided by PA based punk pop band Headways: https://linktr.ee/headwayspa

Observe the 93rd was voted 2021 Best Alternative Rock Band and Derek received the award for Best Male Vocalist at the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards.

Observe the 93rd is an alternative rock band from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. It's comprised of vocalist/guitarist Derek Henry and drummer Dylan Zepp. Their focus will always be "raw, authentic expression." The songs are guided by a feeling, an idea, an experience, failure, triumph, suffering, joy...any abstract internal entity that yearns to be externalized. Sometimes the expression of this is a means of reflection, sometimes a means of relief and survival, and other times merely an exploration of the mind or ideas.

Observe has played shows with: Foxy Shazam, Fuel, Three Days Grace, Stone Temple Pilots, Seether, Puddle of Mudd, Otherwise, Flyleaf, Lacey Sturm, Cold, Sponge, Drowning Pool, Saliva, Joyous Wolf, From Ashes to New, P.O.D., Icon For Hire, Conquer Divide, The Funeral Portrait, Rivals.

SM Podcast Ep.13 "Ed Varner #BUYTHEVAN"

This week I sit down with the remarkably shoeless, Ed Varner. Ed is a solo musician in Central PA, and he specializes in rock/classic rock from the 70s and 80s. We had a great time shooting the breeze about music and superpowers. We had to cut things a little short so I could get ready for the house party I was playing with Matt Jameson, so I'm really looking forward to having Ed back to talk shop again in the future.
