Only Zoom audio on this one folks, Sorry about that.So keeping up with my love of audio and puns we have another feature on my "Bootleg" series. I like to market it as the podcast equivalent of watching those TOOL fan comps of the concerts on world wide web.You may know Tim Carr as the drummer for the Nick Andrew Staver Trio. Which is kind of weird because some of you know me as the Drummer for the Nick Andrew Staver Trio. So either we play in the same but different band, or one of the Nick Andrew Staver Trios is going to need to change their name. Luckily my Nick Andrew Staver Trio has a back up name in place. Those who know, know.Anyhow if you made it though the first 7 minutes of this podcast and care to contribute you can find what I was yapping about here: https://www.patreon.com/adamcgrabowski 

Eli August is a singer songwriter out of the Baltimore area. He has his hands in a plethora of projects induing his solo work, his band "Eli August & the Abandoned Buildings", the fantasy and myth insipred band "Fablelore" which also features podcast favorite guest Waylon K. Smith. In quarantine he has recently gotten the old band "Fermata" back together. Eli has been known to throw some coin at a certain podcast host for said host's musical circle hitting skills.

Michael Washkevich is a home studio owner, gear rep, and audio instructor at Lebanon Valley College. We have a lengthy conversation about the typical audio nerd stuff, having fun playing music, wearing multiple hats in the audio industry and how to adapt and balance those in the corona-verse. I also come to terms with my regrets of being too focused on just a single aspect of my audio endeavors pre-pandemic. 

Waylon K. Smith and I breakdown our thoughts, approach, and efforts that went into the production of his latest release "Stereo Flame". 

Some small talk. Much movie talk. Minimal audio and music talk. 

Jermey Burke is a bassist and songwriter who has been apart of a plethora of bands in my local music scene. 

Kenny Sharretts is a professional drum tech, drummer, YouTube educator, and easily one of most important and influential people to my career arch.

Thomas Roue is an EMT as well as the front man of the band The Pale Barn Ghosts. We catch up in person amidst the 2020 quarantine.

Mike Slaski plays guitar in the band "From Nothing". The two of us one time talked about target with Mark Tremonti after he told a venue bartender we were in a band, which got us each a free semi-frozen Bud Light. 

Wyatt Baker is my good friend, Voice actor, and a fellow human who also has a pattern of playing hard to get with his Sweetwater Sound Sales Rep.

Aaron Getchell is back for episode 9. We may have done a warm up round of bummer talk beforehand that will not ever see the light of day. 

This episode is a conversation with my band mate and kindred spirit Mr. Aaron Getchell. This episode was fun one and I can't wait to have Aaron back again on a future episode. 

Waylon K. Smith is a singer/songwriter currently located in Baltimore, Md. In this conversation we discuss our songs of the day, awkward encounters with our musical icons, our shared love of the work of Mr. Kurt Vonnegut, and much more.

Phoenix and I both pick two songs we are currently enjoying and talk nerdy about them.This week's Backseat Playlist Breakdown will be:Seventeen by Four Year StrongClimbing up the Walls by RadioheadEbb & Flow by The ContortionistThe Earth Will Shake by Thrice.

If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall during a Nick Andrew Staver Trio rehearsal then this is the episode for you. But you'd be a fly that wasn't capable of hearing music, in this scenario, since we only talked. 

This week I had my good friend and guitar tech Auston Vankirk zoom in for a meeting. We caught up briefly and then got into talking about Auston's journey into becoming a professional guitar tech for ESP guitars in Los Angeles California. 

Part two of the musical autobiographies of myself and my good friend, bandmate, and possible co-host Phoenix Johnson.This series is a deep dive into how our encounters with music throughout our lives have impacted us. And how those encounters lead us down the paths that we are currently taking, whether we were aware of it or not. In part two we continue in high school with our music memories and how they shaped us into who we are today.More insightful memories on the coincidences that ended up laying the foundation for what would shape our perspectives and self identities. This time with some obligatory embarrassing high school era recollections.

Once again I'm joined by my good friend, bandmate, and possible co-host Phoenix Johnson. This one kicks off a two part series where the two of us go through our musical autobiographies. A deep dive into how our encounters with music throughout our lives have impacted us. And how those encounters lead us down the paths that we are currently taking, whether we were aware of it or not. In part one we start with our earliest music memories and how they shaped us through middle school. A little bit of everything in this episode, insightful memories on the coincidences that ended up laying the foundation for what would shape our perspectives and self identities. And some obligatory embarrassing middle school recollections.All this after our initial ramblings of course.

Started a quarantine podcast. Had one of my best friends and band mate of several years Phoenix Johnson as my first guest. No dedicated intro. Ramblings. Hidden social critiques in childhood cartoons. Tanks. I hated my middle name. A conversation we felt was best to edit out. 5 songs. Audio nerd stuff. I got made fun of in elementary school. Venue bathrooms: the good and bad. Saving Private Ryan.
