Art and music are terms that are intertwined, sometimes more than we know. And for some of us, that mingling is much more than most of us are aware of.

Learn much more about her music and the unique way in which her senses are intertwined and how that assists her in creating music that is beyond unique and exemplary! Follow Jackie Rose on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/therainbowkyd/.

WE EXPERIENCED SOME AUDIO ISSUES WITH THIS EPISODE, WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE IN LISTENING. WE DID THE BEST WE COULD TO FIX IT. Come hang with us as we chat with guitarist Will Knaak about his musical journey.

On episode 27 we spoke with veteran guitarist and touring musician, Will Knaak. Will has an impressive resume to say the least; he has played extensively with a wide variety of acts for over 20 years and is currently recording and touring with the highly successful alternative rock band, Blue October. Will talks about how his trial by fire music career began in his early teens by playing gigs in local bars and learning the ropes from a variety of bands. In 2000, at age fifteen, he headlined an event at Austin's Auditorium Shores in front of 5,000 people, and Austin's mayor officially declared May 24th "Will Knaak day". This moment served as a catalyst that began a long-enduring passion to perform music professionally. We suggest checking Wikipedia for an in-depth list of bands and recordings Will has been involved with. As to be expected, we talk about guitars, music and touring on this podcast, and we get a basic chronological history of Will's career, one we intersected 15 years ago at Giddy Ups, a tight knit south Austin dive bar the Knaak Attack performed at many times. It was great to catch up with an old friend who has achieved much well-deserved success as a professional musician. We'd like to congratulate Will on the recent addition to his family, Nova Knaak, who also made an appearance on the podcast. Inspired by Nova and unable to tour in 2020, Will released a new live album on bandcamp this year in addition to recording Blue October's latest release. Other original music can be found on spotify and other streaming platforms. Intro Music: A Good Rogering Outro Music: Knaak Attack - Feel Like A Stranger Thanks for listening!
