We sit down with Eli Menezes to trace the road from Brazil to New York to Austin and how gospel, R&B, and jazz harmony shape the sound of his new album 'Lo-Fi Black Tie'. We also get into recording mindset, real-world touring economics, and the gear choices that actually survive working gigs.
We hang with guitar phenom Amani Burnham and trace his road from early influences and a drummer-first start to building a working band and releasing music with Blind Pig Records. We go full Hendrix-nerd on live takes, tone, and rhythm feel, then zoom out to what it takes to make real live guitar matter in an algorithm-heavy world.
We sit down with Brett Papa to trace how a working guitarist turns teaching, tone chasing, and collaboration into a sustainable online career. We get real about touring life, the business side of YouTube, and why owning your audience can beat chasing the algorithm. FEAST!
We sit down with guitarist and composer Lyle Workman to trace the real-life path from Bay Area bands to major film soundtracks and global stages. We talk craft, money, gear, and the unlikely chain of moments that turns a working player into the go-to sound behind hit movies and tours. FEAST!
We swap stories with Chapman Welch about building reactive music systems at Rice University and burning through Tele licks onstage. Chapman details his journey tracing a path from Mississippi studios and lessons with the almight Johnny Sandlin to slanging licks at bluegrass contests. We chat about Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan, compare jam-bands with the Allman Brothers, and talk about how to make art, make rent, and keep your right hand honest. FEAST
