Hey, what’s up, you guys! Marty here, backstage at the iconic Ryman Auditorium with my good buddies Futurebirds—celebrating their second time playing this legendary venue! We talk about their long journey as a band, from their early days at UGA to becoming a staple of Americana rock, or as some might call it, Jam-ericana. In this episode, we dig into the camaraderie that keeps their music alive, their hilarious music video ideas, and the creative process behind their new album, Easy Company, recorded at the renowned Sonic Ranch. Plus, we swap stories about first guitar riffs (hint: expect some Guns N’ Roses and Hootie & the Blowfish), and of course, I couldn’t leave without a little jam session! https://www.futurebirdsmusic.com/
