A Dirtbag's Guide To Life On The Road

Hell yes! I'm really stoked I'm getting this episode uploaded in time and even though it's kind of late at night, I really enjoyed editing this episode. Clipper and I had a real genuine conversation that covered a whole lot of ground and I'm just stoked we were able to make it happen. At a certain point Clipper mentions some writing he did while on tour back in the day, and you can read that HERE! Listen to RED TANK!

Columbia and I go back quite a ways and it seems kind of absurd to me that it's taken this long to get him on the podcast, but as I say in this interview at a time that makes even less sense than now, no use crying over spilled milk. I've always appreciated Columbia's work ethic and his songwriting and performing chops. if you get a chance to catch him live either with the band or solo, I highly suggest doing that!

I don't know if I say this often enough, but I'm so lucky to be able to have these conversations with such interesting people! Tobi is no different.

What a TREAT! The homie Christoph Jesus of Crazy & The Brains sat down with me to talk about everything new that's happened since we spoke last year, and it's really been a lot! They did a month long tour supporting Gogol Bordello, Recorded a new album, and are about to head out on a string of headlining shows to kick off 2023.

I consider this conversation to be one of my favorites from the podcast. Not that I could choose a favorite, but Juan's story is exactly the sort you want to hear every so often to remember that fortune favors the bold, and whenever you say Yes to something you open yourself up to infinite possibilities, when you say no you are limiting your opportunities. Go say yes with abandon, just don't be dumb about it. If you'd like to hear some of Juan's music you can check out his Spotify.

Happy New Year Dirtbags! Welcome to 2023, I hope that you're feeling good after the Holidays and you are feeling good going into a New Year. I'm doing my best not to spiral out and doing that by trying to keep busy, so getting the Podcast started back up seemed like a really good idea. This week we've got a really special episode with my friend John Luther. He's a wonderful songwriter and musician from Ohio, based in Philadelphia and he spent a good amount of time in Arizona playing in circles that my circle sometimes overlapped. Our paths first crossed this last summer when our bands played together here in Brooklyn and we immediately became friends. I'm so glad he agreeed to do the podcast and I'm sure you all will really enjoy it!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this interview with Brook. We've met a few times playing shows together but I wasn't sure at all how a long form conversation between us would go and I gotta say it was one of the best I've had yet. Really felt like Brook and I share a similar path and longevity in being a troubadour and traveling alone. It was really refreshing to speak with Brook and I hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as I did. If you'd like to know more about Brook Pridemore you should go to their Bandcamp!

I had to take a couple weeks off so I could focus on some other projects that were on deadline, so I apologize for that. It's for really good reasons and I explain in the intro to the show so don't skip it! I'm so glad to be back to A Dirtbag's Guide and speaking with folks about their path to the now. This week I've got a really dope episode. Boris Pelekh who's played guitar with all kind of bands, styles and gigs stops by (digitally) and we have a great chat. I don't want to give too much away but this dude is a road warrior. He's been touring pretty much since the day he graduated college and done so many really cool things so give it a listen and be sure to give Boris a follow on Instagram so you can catch him when he's on tour all over the world playing his original tunes or when he's playing guitar for Gogol Bordello. Thanks Boris for the time and the chat! If you’d like to support our show directly please head on over to www.patreon.com/charlesellsworth.
