Show Notes
There aren't too many artists that give off such infectious energy and joy on and off the stage that you can't help but smile. Add to that an artist that plays the bass and sings and sometimes even dives into pools to close a set. Karina Rykman is that one of a kind artist, and she was gracious enough to spend some time with us to reflect on her career as a whole, creating her debut album with Trey Anastasio, and of course opening the most recent Dave & Tim weekend down in Mexico.
This was one of our favorite pods to date as Karina is just such a blast to talk to and listen to. This is truly a can't miss episode and we hope you all enjoy. Cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Singer, songwriter, American Idol winner, and DMB fan Phillip Phillips joins us this week on the pod to talk about performing "The Stone" on Idol, skipping school for his first concert ever - a DMB show, and how his perspective and songwriting has changed now that he is a husband and father of 2. Much like his new brand new EP, "Let's Go Far: Vol. 1", Phillip was very open and honest throughout the conversation, and proving that he truly is very down-to-earth, genuine human.
This week we were joined by the incredible Tatiana Hargreaves for a conversation surrounding her preparation for guesting with DMB, gaining confidence in improvisation, competitive fiddling, and much more. From growing up on the west coast in a house of musicians, to moving out east and finding her musical "home", to stepping on stage at The Gorge, we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Tatiana and hope you all enjoy it as well.
Fresh off of four fantastic guest appearances with DMB this summer, fiddler Casey Driessen joined the pod to talk The Gorge weekend, the debut of “Papertown”, his unique percussive style, recording John Mayer’s “Comfortable” in a dorm room and much more.
The 2026 Gorge weekend was one for the record books, and we had boots on the ground with resident COGS Correspondent, Alex Brandt! From another full album being played front to back, to dueling fiddles, and all-time great versions, Brandtsmarching returns to the pod to break it all down for us. Learn more about your ad choices.
