The one-man-band from New England, Will Evans of Barefoot Truth stops by the show to bring some healing vibes to the studio. Will and Ken talk all about looping, reggae, and the stigmas that follow them.

Stephanie was pumped to chat with Will and he was gracious enough to take time during rehearsal to talk with her. Below is from Will's website! "Will Evans has spent the last decade as the primary songwriter and frontman for the New England-based roots-rock outfit Barefoot Truth. After four albums and 50+ million streams on Pandora & Spotify, he's embarked on his solo journey—carrying along some of the Jack Johnson-ish vibes from his earlier band. He's since released three additional full-length albums and traveled the U.S. & Europe several times over. In his shows, Evans displays technical mastery of live-looping that showcase his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, including the didgeridoo, steel drums, percussive beatboxing, acoustic guitar, and layers of soulful vocals. His album “Rise” was nominated for three categories by the New England Music Awards. The album features deeply personal topics of humanity, compassion, and a reflection of the current political times. While promoting the album, he toured extensively with his friend and fellow conscious-roots musician Trevor Hall, performing for sold-out crowds across North America and Europe. In 2020 Evans released ‘The Summer Swell,' a 3-song live EP, as well as a new summer-vibed single: “Lean In.” ENVIRONMENT, HOPE, AND INCLUSION A lifelong surfer and environmentalist, Evans' songs speak to the importance of connecting with—and protecting—the earth. At a time when so many are looking for words of inspiration and reassurance, his songs deliver messages of family, love, hope, and inclusion." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stephanie7502/support

The DMB history segment will cover 2001-2003 and our The Way I Heard It (TWIHI) song for the week is The Dreaming Tree and was recorded by Eli and Jesse from season 1!GUEST INFO & NOTESTwitter Handle: @chuck_4First, go like and follow Will Evans Band and Barefoot Truth on twitter @willevansmusic and facebook. That is the band I shoutout at the end of the podcast. They are an amazing band, all their music is on apple music and spotify and youtube. A mix of john butler trio, dave matthews, oar, and dispatch. A local band from where I live, theyre amazing in concert.My Top 10 DMB songs for a first time listener, in no order: Ants Marching (Album: Under the table and dreaming), Gravedigger (Acoustic, Album: Some Devil), Grace is Gone (Busted Stuff), Samurai Cop (Album: Come Together), The Song That Jane Likes (Album: The Gorge 2004), Warehouse (Album: Live at Folsom Field 2002), Eh Hee (Album Live at Radio City), Two Step (Album: Live at Central Park 2003), Save Me (Live Trax Vol. 29 2014), Dont Drink The Water (Album: Before these crowded streets).A few of my favorite deep tracks for the heavy Dave listeners: Linus and Lucy (Live Trax Vol 1: Centrum), Spoon (Live Trax Vol. 28: John Paul Jones Arena), Recently (Live at Red Rocks 1995), Minarets (Live Trax Vol. 7: Hampton), Smooth Rider (Weekend On The Rocks), #41* I put this song on purely for Victor Wooten Bass solo around the 6:30 mark. It is unreal. I suggest you watch it on youtube to truly appreciate his skills and flow on the bass (Live in Chicago 12.19.98). Everyday (The Gorge 2004), The Stone and Grace is Gone (Live Trax Vol. 22: Montage Mountain). Even deeper track -> Work It Out - Jurassic 5 feat. Dave Matthews.Other than that, get out there and explore the live trax lists. I just recently discovered the Live Trax Vol 22, and it is amazing. The Live Trax Vol. 29 is great as well, heavy horns on that one.

This week: one year, one game, two Ivy league schools as a microcosm of America history in the late 60s-a conversation with George Howe Colt. How the band Barefoot Truth quit the road to stay home writing music for Tabata? Brecht and Weil-and what their music means in fighting fascism in the 21st century. Plus a Springfield man originally from Guatemala and his year long sanctuary in Amherst. And the Sox win the pennant! And lots of chatter therein.
