Hey there dirtbags! I'm excited for you all to hear this interview with Paisley Fields. Paisley grew up in a small town in Iowa and after finishing college moved to NYC. He’s had a remarkable journey in music and tells me about the first time he performed in college, about forming a band and touring in Japan, and like we usually do on A Dirtbag’s Guide, we talk about religion and religious trauma. His album Limp Wrist has been called an exploration of where rural queerness intersects with religion. It’s a really solid interview and I’m really looking forward to hearing what you all think of it!

Mega Ran is a Guineess World Record-Holding, Philly born, Phoenix AZ Transplant. He's also a Nerdcore Hip-Hop Pioneer. He's a lot of things. Husband, Father, and he's someone I consider a friend of mine. I've had the opportunity to hang out with Raheem a few times and seen him live a few times as well. He's a charismatic and super engaging performer while also very genuine in his approach to everything from his love of video games to his ideas about acceptance and social justice. This dude is the real deal, and this was all apparent during my conversation with him back in the fall of 2022. When we had this conversation, neither of us had met before, so it's really fun for me to listen back to it and hear us meeting for the first time. Whether you're familiar with his music or not, I think you'll really enjoy our conversation.

Thanks as usual for tuning in to this episode of A Dirtbag's Guide To Life on The Road. This episode is a conversation with my pal Jefferson White that took place back in late 2020 and it was such a fun conversation I figured it was worth putting out again during one of our off weeks. Jefferson is an actor originally from Iowa who's been in all your favorite things such as internationally famous show Yellowstone, the recent and highly acclaimed film Civil War as well as a large number of other great things. He's a very genuine human who has always been a positive hang when I've been around him. If you’d like to support our show directly please head on over to Patreon.

Hey Dirtbags! This week’s episode of A Dirtbag’s Guide to Life On The Road is a really special one. I got to sit down with Craig Finn of The Hold Steady a while back and talk about his life in music. From his first guitar lessons and being turned on to independent record stores, to what it takes to make a band like The Hold Steady be able to exist for 20+ years. I even got to deep dive into his process of writing the song that first pulled me into his songwriting and stories, Magic Marker. It was a weird time in my life when I first heard that song, and I was really drawn to the hyper detailed story he was able to create within such a short format of a song. I remember listening to Magic Marker over and over and thinking “man, I’d really like to talk to Craig about that song.” Life being the unpredictably poetic thing that it is, a few years later I was asked to guitar tech for them on some shows, and I eventually worked up the nerve to ask Craig to come on the podcast. He was enthusiastic at the idea and I’m super grateful for that. I’m also really grateful for the times I’ve been able to work with The Hold Steady and see how much fun they all have every single time they are on stage. It’s inspiring, and I suggest you see The Hold Steady, or Craig Finn live as soon as you have the chance. Get tickets to see The Hold Steady Live! Listen to The Hold Steady! See Craig play solo in Europe the UK and US later this year! Listen to Craig's solo music! If you’d like to support our show directly please head on over to Patreon.

Joe Reinhart is what I want to be when I grow up. He's like the cool kid from down street who got into skateboarding and punk rock before everyone and was always down to teach you how to Kickflip or play the bass solo from Maxwell Murder. He's just fucking cool, and he's got a long track record of playing in cool bands (Algernon Cadwallader, Hop Along, Dogs on Acid) and helping other cool bands (Joyce Manor, Dr. Dog, Charles Ellsworth) make rad records. This was a fun conversation to revisit, and really made me want to hang out with Joe agin. I hope you all enjoy it! If you’d like to support our show directly please head on over to our Patreon.

Hello my fellow Dirtbags! This episode was a whole lotta fun. I've known Cody for 5 or 6 years now and the more I get to know him the more I think he's rad as fuck. We grew up in the same corner of Arizona but he's about 10 years younger than me. What I noticed most about Cody when I first met him was his passion for the music he plays and the bands he's played in, and watching him live has always been pretty infectious. You can tell he's not someone who takes the opportunity to perform lightly and tries to make the most of it each time he gets. Cody has recently started his own podcast, Visceral Musings, and I was lucky enough to be a guest on there recently, so it was nice to flip the script back around and be interviewing him this time around. I hope you all dig it! Check out Visceral Musings on Spotify , or wherever you get your podcasts ! You can listen to my episode here. Listen to Cody's band Negative Thirty-Two here.

This episode is kinda unique. My friend and business partner in Burro Borracho Records, Mark Ricks aka MC Busstop interviewed me while I was in the middle of a crazy touring run last year after I had been robbed in San Francisco. This is that interview, but because it's over a year old, I decided to cut in some new updates throughout the episode to kind of get you up to speed on what's been going on in my world since we went off the air last year. If you're a long time listener or fan of my music, I think you'll dig this episode a lot. If you're interested in what it's like being a DIY touring musician with all of the unpredictable ups & downs you'll probably really dig this one as well. Burro Borracho Records recently put out our friend Regan Ashton's debut full length record "Infinite Pest" on vinyl, you should buy it!

Jordan Jensen is one of the funniest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. We recorded this podcast a week or two before the 2020 election and it's crazy to listen to it now nearly 4 years later and compare where we were with where we are. I don't know if it's good or not, but it's definitely interesting. Very shortly after meeting Jordan I knew it wouldn't be long before she was being recognized and praised by a much larger audience and in the time since we recorded this podcast she's started touring nonstop, released her first comedy special, and launched a very funny podcast with fellow comedian Ian Fidance. Check her out on Instagram , and Patreon . If you’d like to support our show directly please head on over to our Patreon . Buy a record, or a t-shirt, or a hoodie at Bandcamp.
