Our guest this episode is long-time Seattle guitar fixture Danny Newcomb. Danny has primarily been known for playing lead guitar in rock bands since his early teens, playing alongside Mike McCready and the brothers Friel, but for the last 5+ years Danny has been putting out about an album per year of killer, roots/Americana, song-forward guitar music and fronting his own band. In 2020 he released a mostly acoustic album called Mackerel Sky (which I forgot to ask him about the title/song) that shows off his songwriting chops and voice in a more exposed way than ever before. I definitely recommend checking it out, along with his entire back catalog of bands and solo albums. We for sure talked about a LOT more than music, including the farming he does on Vashon Island near Seattle. Thank you so much for listening and for your continued support!

Our guest this episode is Kristian Bush, one half of the Grammy winning country duo, Sugarland. Kristian was such a great hang and a fun story teller. 2020 has seen Kristian working on what he's best known for as well as re-releasing the long-though lost album by his 90s band, Billy Pilgrim. And, his band Dark Water along with his younger brother Brandon, has been releasing and working on new material over the last year. He recently sang My Prerogative in a Couch Riffs performance video, as well. We had a great time speaking with him and hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Our guest on this episode is the incredible Nels Cline. As a longtime fan of Nels, he was listed among the first names on the wishlist I created when this podcast began. Our good friends at Fretboard Journal introduced us and this episode was happening! Over the years I was too intimidated to speak with Nels when I was within arm's length, even. It turns out he's one of the easiest folks you could ever hope to speak with. The Nels Cline Singers have a new album coming out (PREORDER HERE) which I have ordered and highly recommend you do, too.

Our guest this episode is David Knudson, former guitarist of Minus the Bear and the now legendary Tacoma band, Botch. David has one of the most intense, unique, and identifiable guitar styles around and is known for his extensive use of the Line 6 DL4 delay pedal to create and trigger loops and samples live during shows. But, he's certainly not one to use effects as a crutch. David is a monster player and I'm very much looking forward to hearing the solo album that he is currently working on. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, our first ever, and I hope you do, too! Thanks for listening and for your continued support.

Our guest this episode is Clint Lowery of Sevendust. You know, sometimes you speak with someone for the first time ever and you have such a good time that you can't believe that you haven't ever met before. That's essentially the story of this podcast episode. Clint and I fired off immediately about Jake E. Lee and it just kept on rolling on talking guitars and music, growing up poor, and being sober today among many topics. Clint released an album, God Bless The Renegades, AND an EP, Grief & Distance, in 2020 already and Sevendust is releasing a new album 10/23/20. They'll be live streaming a record release show that day and you can buy tix to enjoy that performance HERE. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Our guest on this episode is Jack O’Shea, lead guitarist of the NY Punk band Bayside. I was introduced to him by a couple of friends who toured with him way back in the day but had never spoke before this conversation.

Our guest on this episode of Couch Riffs podcast is Dweezil Zappa. Dweezil has kept Frank Zappa's music alive on stage for the last 14 years or so with Zappa Plays Zappa, celebrating different eras of Frank's catalog and absolutely nailing the spirit of his father's intensely original music and distinct guitar style. On the day that this podcast episode will publish Dweezil will launch a new web platform called Reward Music which enables artists to connect more directly with fans and supporters without the taxing middleman model that has historically hindered musicians' ability to earn a sustainable and livable wage.

Our guest on this episode is Jeff Schroeder, guitarist in Smashing Pumpkins. This conversation was super fun and dipped its toes deep in the waters of 80s metal and shred guitar territory as we shared stories of guitar heroes and vintage shred machines that we covet. Jeff even revealed some crazy shoegaze/noise guitar secrets and showed a piece of gear off that helps him achieve some of those tones that he has been greatly inspired by.

A phenomenal guitarist and sweet guy, he's an easy hang a very casual conversationalist. He was also one of the earliest guests on the first version of what Couch Riffs used to exist as and absolutely shredded the Slash solo on Always On The Run by Lenny Kravitz.

Our guest for this episode is John Oates and I couldn't be happier. John has been living in Nashville and exploring his roots music roots for some time now. He has a live album coming out September 18 (2020) and it was recorded at the legendary Station Inn in Nashville, which you've all heard me talk about on the podcast in the past.

Our guest this episode is Brian Nutter, former first-call Nashville studio and touring ace guitar player who most notably worked with Keith Urban for years. He's also toured with Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift, and a list longer than my house improvements to-do list. These days Brian is building Nutter Guitars in his shop outside of Nashville and teaching building skills at the Musician's Institute Guitar Craft Academy, an accredited luthier training school. 2020 has been difficult for most all of us but Brian has had a particularly rough road and he chronicles his near-death experience with a sunflower seed shell in our conversation.

Our guest on this episode is the incredibly cool and immensely talented Jean-Paul Gaster, the drummer of Clutch. I had the pleasure of watching a string of Clutch shows from side of stage and this experience got me re-excited about the band and specifically I was blown away by Jean-Paul's powerful drumming. I've been talking about that month's experiences for 10 years and finally got to ask him in this conversation if the story about his drumming that I've been telling all this time was true. It was. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Jean-Paul is at least as cool a conversationalist as he is a drummer. Thanks for listening and for your continued support!

Our guest for this episode is the perpetually cool Terry Date, producer and mixing engineer for bands such as Soundgarden, Pantera, Deftones, Slayer and the list goes on. Terry's track record is very impressive and when it came time for my band, Loaded, to make an album with him a few years back I was well nervous. But, what an easy guy to work with and a man with legendary stories! I was happy to have him share his career trajectory here and tell some fun stories along the way.

Our guest for this episode is Doug Kauer of Kauer Guitars out of Sacramento CA. Doug's embrace of technology to help him create and build consistent and great guitars is something we admire greatly at Couch Riffs. Did we mention that they're beautiful, too? And, if that wasn't enough Doug has a heart of gold and has done a number of charity guitars this year during a time when it would be very easy to adopt a more selfish attitude. Thank you Doug!

Our 100th guest is Jason Dove, a very funny comedian, musician, and creator and operator of Chibson USA which is, of course, the very thing that Instagram was invented for (I'm pretty sure). There were quite a lot of laughs in this episode but we managed to get serious a few times. Jason has an interesting path that brought him to where he's at now with Chibson USA and it was an absolute pleasure to laugh and slapstick through the conversation with him as I learned about how it all came to be. He gives a few fun reveals in this episode about things to come, as well!

Our guest this episode is Ben Weinman, founding member and leader of the incredible but defunct band The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Our guest on this episode is Barrett Jones, owner and operator of Laundry Room Studio. Barrett has been involved in some of the most important recordings you've heard! AND, he's got a really interesting history going all the way back to DC in his teens, recording bands out of his parents' home and later group houses where he lived. From the very word go he was recording some noteworthy and historically significant bands and he continues to do that as well as produce a video series, Landry Room Live, which broadcasts live and also posts to his YouTube channel post-performance.

This episode features my guest William DuVall, most famously known as the lead singer of Alice in Chains but who had a long musical career leading up to that eventual position. We cover a ton of William's punk roots very candidly in this episode and I had an absolute Bl'ast (heh, heh) hearing him tell some great stories. There is a tiny bit of audio drop in this episode when William leaves home and gets in his car but it passes pretty quickly and painlessly.

Our guest on Episode 89 is a living legend in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Mr Kurt Bloch has been blazing the guitar since the 70s and also happens to have one of the craziest guitar collections around Seattle. This conversation was a blast and we covered everything from his deep interest and knowledge of Coronets/Wilshires/Crestwoods to his seeing Van Halen and Judas Priest separately on the same night in 1979. I feel like I could listen to Kurt tell stories for another 3 hours and not even bat an eye. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

Every time I think I can't possibly enjoy doing this podcast more something like this episode happens. My guest is Steve Hall who has a very different day job than most musicians. He's venture capital investor and has spent many years managing the financial investments of Paul Allen. In the last few years Steve has relaxed himself some and started pursue some more creative ventures like partnering in McSwain Guitars, consulting for Magnatone Amplifiers, and most recently producing films. Not bad, Steve. Not bad. I had a great time talking with him and, even though I know he'll always be the smartest guy in the room (certainly if I'm in that room with him), he has such a down to earth way of talking things out.

This episode features guest Kathy Moore, one of the most in-demand and active guitarists in all of Seattle. We met a handful of years ago and it is always an absolute joy to see her perform and usually we can chat briefly when we cross paths but this was a great conversation for getting to know her story. Studied in jazz and orchestral band, Kathy didn't start playing guitar until she was 21 years old! She is an absolute ripper and can cover so many styles on the guitar AS WELL AS THE KEYS! Seriously, one of my regrets of leaving Seattle is that I left without ever getting to play and perform with Kathy. Go check out The Kathy Moore Super Power Trio!

Our guest this episode is the incredible Jimi Hazel of 24-7 Spyz who last year put out their first album in well over a decade. Jimi went in deep on his process of writing this album along with the spiritual elements that helped him break his writer's block and depression. It was an absolute pleasure to speak with him, get to know him beyond social media volleys, and hear about what makes him tick and inspires him. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

This episode we feature guest and longtime inside-joking friend, Jason Finn known best for drumming in The Presidents of the United States of America. He will be our final guest for the official and not-real Drummer Awareness Month on Couch Riffs. Jason has had a glorious and fun career as a drummer for many bands on many different levels. He's a generally funny fella and this podcast is chalked full of inside jokes that no-one would expect you to get or even find funny if you were in on them. I think that's the sign of a friend, though. Go check out PUSA's debut album on vinyl soon when it finally arrives hot on the heels of their crowdfunding release on this 25th anniversary of its initial release. (25 years?!)

What can I say? Drummer Awareness Month is kicking ass even if it isn't a real thing. On this episode we have yet another amazing drummer in Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Barrett Martin Group, Tuatara, Walking Papers, Desert Sessions, and tons more. Barrett is a studied musician and educated in orchestral/classical, jazz, and ethnomusicology and is also well known for producing and performing on many albums as a drummer or percussionist. Don't let the fanciness fool you, though. He's a vicious rock drummer! He's published two books in the last handful of years, 2017's The Singing Earth and 2019's The Way of the Zen Cowboy.

Our guest for this episode is the great NY drummer, Oskar "The Finnisher" Haggdahl (that's not really his nickname, I just made it up). He's performed with a number of artists in NY and around around the world including the Broadway production of Mamma Mia!, Marc Martel, and Hey, Guy. He played a handful of NY shows with The Union Gospel, as well, which was an absolute pleasure and how we met. He's currently available for remote session drumming and is an absolute groove machine.

Ronnie Vannucci is the drummer for The Killers, one of the biggest bands to emerge and remain from the early 2000s. These guys have a list of hits nearly as long as my family's felony conviction history. I met Ronnie a few years before he joined The Killers, a story which is briefly chronicled in this podcast, and immediately we were friendly, staying in touch and hanging when he visited Seattle or I was in Vegas. And, if you're familiar with The Killers' music you know that they blew up quick, hard, and they continue to make huge sounding albums filled with hooks and hits. I'm excited to hear what they cook up during this pandemic social distancing time as they continue to work steadily on more new material. I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I loved catching up with RV.

My guest on this episode of Couch Riffs is Kate Reddy, guitarist of NY Hardcore band 108 and Krishna devotee. She also happens to be my neighbor, which is pretty fun. Even still, we did the interview over the phone because of everything that is happening in the world at this time. If you're not familiar with 108 and you are a fan of hardcore or heavy music I strongly urge you to go check it out. And, please enjoy this conversation with an open mind and ear. We largely talk about Kate's spiritual beliefs and history with it and I very much enjoyed the conversation. The Krishna folks that I've met in our small town are awesome folks and I've been waiting for this conversation for a long time.  If you enjoy the Couch Riffs Podcast and/or videos please consider becoming a monthly pledge supporter for as little as .99/month.

I was stoked to have Ryan Bruce of longtime YouTube fame on the Couch Riffs podcast for this episode. Recently he was out on a national tour with his band Dragged Under as direct support for The Used, however, and he learned a thing or two about the road while he was doing it. Fluff is a wealth of knowledge and, unlike lots of folks, he's a generally open and sharing person when it comes to anything he does whether it be getting tones in the studio, re-amping for folks in the past, or gear recommendations. He was actually very important in the development of the Couch Riffs videos and podcast, in fact. I was glad to get the chance to thank him personally and publicly for that generosity in this episode of Couch Riffs. Look out for more and bigger things from Dragged Under as soon as we are out from under our current situation and if you haven't seen him on YouTube I'm not quite sure what rock you've been under. But, you should come out, air out, and check out Riffs, Beards & Gear!  If you're enjoying the Couch Riffs Podcast please consider being a monthly pledge member for as little as .99/mo.

This episode features a dear friend, John Guffey, who co-operates a music school for kids in Vancouver WA called Hammersmith Rock Institute. John is a stand up guy, a hell of a guitarist, and a hell of a friend. We talk some funny crap in this episode and talk about our mutually white trash upbringings. If your kids want or need lessons during this time of quarantine/shut-in then Hammersmith is a great place to start. John has a long history and much experience in being a patient and knowledgable teacher. Plus, he's got an ace sense of humor.

Our guest for this episode of the Couch Riffs Podcast is none other than the publisher of The Fretboard Journal, Jason Verlinde. Now, this man is partially responsible for this podcast being what it is. He's given me tons of encouragement (not to mention inspiration) over the year that I've been doing this and actually suggested that I do it months before I finally dove in to give it a shot. And, I'm glad that I did because this is fun! Anyway, Jason throws down some fun and interesting stuff for me and I was so very happy to get to know him a bit better through this conversation. I hope you feel closer to both of us after listening to this, too! If you enjoy the Couch Riffs podcast and/or videos be sure to subscribe to them and leave positive reviews and ratings. It helps a lot. If you're really loving Couch Riffs to buy a shirt at our Etsy store. We also have trucker hats and some turntable slip mat covers. All stylish and comfortable as you'd expect from such a classy operation as this. Don't forget to be kind to each other right now. Things are super weird. Make sure you're okay but ask on folks that you know and you don't know. Help people. They need it and so do you. xo --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/couch-riffs/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/couch-riffs/support

My guest on this episode of the Couch Riffs Podcast is Dave Hillis who transformed from 80s thrash guitarist to engineer and producer on recordings that you have most definitely heard. Albums like Pearl Jam's "Ten", Alice In Chains' "Dirt", Temple of the Dog and The Afghan Whigs' "1965". His first band, Mace, had quite a reputation around the Northwest (and beyond!) in the 80s. You won't find it on streaming services but YouTube has some stuff that fans of thrash/crossover will certainly enjoy. In the 90s, after engineering some of the biggest albums of the decade, Dave started another band, Sybil Vane, that again made a splash beyond the Northwest landing a slot on the Empire Records Soundtrack album. Dave continues to write, record, produce and engineer in Pittsburgh PA these days.

Derek Sheen is probably the person I have the most in common with any Couch Riffs guest to date. And, I can't imagine hosting someone that I have a more similar history with. Please go check out Derek's comedy albums and see him when he performs in your area. He's funny, smart, a survivor and a fine human through and through. He has a 4th comedy album to be released in April 2020 and shows to follow and you can find his previous 3 albums in all the places you'd expect to find them NOW. I'll even include A LINK RIGHT HERE to make it easy for you.

This episode's guest is none other than legendary sideman, Earl Slick. Earl has been a guitarist for David Bowie, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Robert Smith, and is about to head to the UK with Glen Matlock for a handful of dates. You should definitely go check out his work on the 1985 Phantom, Rocker, & Slick album, too. The BBC produced a short documentary called "Rock 'n Roll Guns for Hire: The Story of the Sideman" and Earl narrates this with the same style and swagger he delivers on guitar. Go give it a watch!

We are happy to host Doug Rappoport in this 52 episode of Couch Riffs Podcast. Doug is the guitarist in the Edgar Winter Band and is a monster player and a great hang. We have met a few times over the years but only really got to hang at NAMM 2020 where we shot a Couch Riffs video for Van Halen's Unchained. I always knew Doug was killer (check out his YouTube or IG) but I'd only ever seen him rehearsing with his AC/DC cover band that he plays in with a bunch of our mutual friends. My man was DRUNK and totally nailed the EVH bits. Pretty stunning, all things considered! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed rattling it off!

This episode features guest Danko Jones from Toronto. Danko is a longtime torch carrier for rock music and has expressed his passion for music in many forms, most notably by fronting his own, Danko Jones, band but also by producing a couple of podcasts (The Official Danko Jones Podcast and The Regal Beagle Podcast), publishing a book (I've Got Something To Say) writing articles for a number of publications, hosting a syndicated radio show, and doing spoken word tours.

This episode's guest Danny Bland recently published his third book, We Shouldn't Be Doing This, a collection of his dark and unique haiku with a long list of contributions from his fancy friend guest photographers. This new release builds further upon his 2nd book, I Apologize In Advance For The Awful Things I'm Gonna Do, a collaborative collection of haiku and photography with his longtime friend Greg Dulli. Along with the 2013 novel/biographical fiction release, In Case We Die, he is building quite a body of work for a full-time road manager and retired punk bassist.

This episode of the Couch Riffs Podcast we have Portland's finest, Hutch Harris of now defunct band, The Thermals. I've probably spent more hours listening to The Thermals than any other Portland band. Possibly any other NW band, to be honest. Anyway, you get the idea. I loved The Thermals and was sad to hear that they broke up last year. Hutch released a solo album earlier this year and is currently working on some more new music which makes me very happy!

This episode's guest is the one I've known the longest of any (so far), Wolfe Macleod of Wolfetone Pickups in Seattle WA. Wolfe and I grew up in the same small town and both left early in life, even as beautiful of a place that Granite Falls is. Wolfetone Pickups are hand built by Wolfe in his shop in North Seattle where he also houses his collection of swords, fantasy art, and Porsches. He's quite the fancy lad!

This episode of Couch Riffs Podcast features guest Tony Reed, the creator of one of my all-time favorite albums, Mos Generator's "The Late Great Planet Earth". If you've never heard this album, do yourself a favor and give it a spin with a good set of headphones on. I've included the link for you above. You won't regret it. But, Tony is a busy man in the studio and on the road so to minimize his musical output to only this (amazing) album would not paint a complete picture. One of the more prolific artists I've known he has recorded and released dozens of albums by Mos Generator, Stone Axe, 12:30 Dreamtime, Hot Spring Water and recently has been collaborating with Bob Balch of Fu Manchu and Gary Arce of Yawning Man in the project Big Scenic Nowhere.

If you've seen a rock show in Seattle in the last 8 years or so there is a pretty good chance you've seen and heard a Union Jack or Rola Amp delivering the goods.
