Echo Pilot: An interview with Ryan Van Abeele

Echo Pilot is a four-piece alternative rock band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. Forming in October of 2018, the vibrant sound of the band comes from an array of backgrounds and influences. The striking harmonies, colorful melodies, punctual guitars, and rhythmic drum grooves soar through the sonic air with mighty intention. Their eclectic, energetic, and chemistry-driven live show brings people to their feet, and represents the musicianship and expertise of the group.

Being a full time musician is not easy, and finding an entire band who is willing to play 150 shows a year while having a family is even harder. But Johnny makes it all work.  Johnny just released 'Wrap it Up', a song you may have heard before. During COVID, Johnny and the band re-recorded the song and just released it.  If you are in the North Carolina/South Carolina area, look up Johnny and I am sure he will be playing a show when you are passing through.    https://littlejohnnytrailertrash.com/ https://youtube.com/@ljtt3 https://www.facebook.com/LJTTBAND?mibextid=ZbWKwL https://open.spotify.com/artist/02pqtfwENrWwRYJ2Ka0eZ5?si=AVK7RzM5QaK0cZvXJMvpqQ https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B073YGSPNM?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_rNZUyUrGdvoQY7KJ9X0GrwQFI

When I hear about places like Nashville, I think Country Music. Then you hear Tennessee Holy Water for the first time and all of that changes. Besides the great name, Tennessee Holy Water, these guys sound amazing. A solid 5 piece band that is releasing their new EP soon and will be releasing their new single 'Choices' in the next few weeks.  If you're in Nashville you need to check them out. They bring back the sounds of bands like Alice In Chains and give it their own edge. A great group of guys whose music must be heard.  Band Members: Jesse Vickers (vocals), AJ Cremins (drums), Joseph Evans (bass), Dave Voles (guitar), Aaron Hogan (guitar).

I had the privilege of interviewing the founders of Alvia.

Gabby Cinque is a force to be reckoned with. I had the pleasure to work with Gabby at Rock Out Loud where she was a voice coach. Besides having an amazing voice, she's got one hell of a work ethic. Gabby figures sh*t out.  Trying to make it in an oversaturated industry is hard, and Gabby knows it takes more than a great song or an amazing voice to success in the music business. All you need to do is take a look at the list of shows she's got lined up for the next 6 months not to mention her constant presence on Social Media.  Here is Gabby sharing her story with me. My apologies for the abrupt ending as we had a techical issue that cut off the last 4 minutes of our show.
