The Mountain Music Festival 2026 is almost here, and this week we're breaking out the map, studying the schedule, and figuring out exactly how we're going to tackle three days of rock and roll in Gatlinburg! In this episode, Chris and Aaron map out The Mountain, running through the entire three-day festival schedule and sharing the bands and performances we're most looking forward to seeing. With multiple stages running throughout the weekend, there are plenty of tough decisions to make. We break down the biggest overlaps, which acts are playing more than once, and how those second sets might help us avoid sacrificing one band for another. We also discuss Punchlines and Backlines, the comedy shows taking place on multiple nights during festival week featuring comedians and familiar faces from the rock world. Between the bands, comedy, clinics, late-night activities, and everything else happening around the event, there's going to be a lot to keep up with. And we're not just coming to watch. Decibel Geek will be roaming The Mountain all weekend recording video and audio, talking with fans, capturing some man-on-the-street insanity, and gathering plenty of material to bring back to the show and our social channels. Whether you're joining us in Gatlinburg or following along from home, this episode is your preview of what promises to be a very busy weekend. Who are the must-see bands? Where are the toughest schedule conflicts? And exactly how much rock and roll can two aging podcasters cram into three days? We're about to find out.

The founders of The Festival, Nick and Dustin, join The Austin Young Show to talk about what it really takes to build an independent music festival from the ground up. Best known to many as members of the Dallas ska band Set The Tone, they share the story behind launching the festival, the challenges of supporting local artists, the importance of the DIY music scene, and what's in store for this year's event. Whether you're a fan of ska, punk, independent music, or you're curious about the people working behind the scenes to keep live music alive, this conversation offers an inside look at the passion, hustle, and community that make it all happen.

Charles is joined by longtime friend and concert enthusiast Andy to recap their 24/7 Live Music Challenge — an ambitious attempt to see 24 live music events in just seven days, inspired by "Concert Joe" Sarkis of New York, who famously attended 1,000 shows in a single year back in 1992. Based in the Chicago area, Charles and Andy plotted their week using ChatGPT to build efficient nightly itineraries, hitting 24 shows across 16 different clubs without ever buying tickets in advance. They quickly learned that averaging three and a half shows per night was brutal — three shows in one night put them behind schedule, while four was a struggle to pull off even once, let alone repeatedly. The conversation walks through each night in detail, from a jazz set at the historic Green Mill and a punk show at Subterranean to blues legends at Buddy Guy's Legends and Blue Chicago, a folk night at The Hideout, and a storytelling-meets-live-band show at Martyrs that reminded them both of NPR. Along the way they battled real tornado warnings that knocked out power at multiple venues, forcing last-minute audibles, and stumbled into unexpected magic — snagging the last two seats at nearly every stop, watching Buddy Guy hang out in his own club ahead of his 90th birthday, and catching an incredible impromptu bass solo from a musician neither of them had heard of before. By the end of the week, Charles and Andy had hit their goal of 24 shows for a total of just $313 in cover charges (well under the $1,000 budget Andy had braced his wife for), capped off by seeing Santana and the Doobie Brothers at a Tinley Park band shell. Standout moments included the high-energy punk band Squint and Kansas City act Season to Risk at The Liar's Club, while the sheer physical toll — late trains, torrential rain, and blown-out eardrums — made clear why neither of them plans to repeat the full challenge. Still, both agreed it was a rewarding way to break out of their musical comfort zones, discover new venues worth revisiting, and appreciate just how much dedication (and money) serious "concert chasers" like Concert Joe put into their passion. BANDS: Able Baker, Amyl and the Sniffers, Cherry Decay, Dog Caller, Dot, Grateful Dub, Greasy Gravy, Groove Witness, Jerry's Middle Finger, Public Opinion, Santana, Season to Risk, Squint, Tunnel, liverwhip, the Doobie Brothers, La Croix Mystique, Majesty. VENUES:  Andy's Jazz Club, Beat Kitchen, Blue Chicago, Buddy Guy's Legends, Cobra Lounge, Fitzgeralds, Garcia's, Jazz Showcase, Martyrs, Salt Shed, Shubas, Subterranean, The Empty Bottle, The Green Mill, The Hideout, The Hungry Brain, The Liar's Club, Tinley Park (band shell).

7.23.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Lonn Hartman Attack. Howard Freshmen Unenrolled. Mamdani On Affordability. JPMorgan Bias Suit_ It's been more than a week since Detroit-area youth mentor Lonn Hartman was found with life-threatening neck wounds at the Bliss-fest Music Festival in northern Michigan. We'll talk to Hartman's friend and the family spokesperson about the investigation and the text she received from him saying he didn't feel safe. Incoming Howard University freshmen say they were unenrolled despite believing their financial aid, grants, and scholarships covered their tuition. We'll talk to one of the students impacted and an expert to explain next steps. A former JPMorgan Chase vice president is suing the financial giant for discrimination. She'll be here with her attorney to explain some of the things she had to endure. And I'll share my conversation with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani about his plans for the black community.

Two weeks ago I opened for BILLY IDOL — who, of course, was joined on stage by his forever guitarist STEVE STEVENS. This was a fun outdoor concert at the Lakefront Music Festival in Minnesota. It was great to say hi to Steve backstage for a minute, and super inspiring to watch him dazzle the the crowd with his great guitar playing — so inspiring, in fact, that I figured we ought to revisit this epic guitar hang from the summer of 2016 at his then-Los Angeles studio, where he plugged in, played his ass off, and showed us how he and Billy Idol forged one of the greatest singer/guitar player partnerships in rock history.
