Episode 112: Josh Parkhurst of Last Point (Central Coast, California)

This week’s guest is Josh Parkhurst of the band Last Point. They are a 4-piece Skate Punk band from the Central Coast of California near Santa Barbara. They derive their sound from Good Riddance, RKL, and The Suicide Machines among others. Josh and I talked about his background in music and how he got out to the west coast in his early 20's. He’s originally from New York. We also talked about the difference in cultures and stuff like that. Last point has some new music out. Specifically a new album called “A Broken Road” and I featured the last track off of that called “Unfinished Business.” Which you can find on Spotify or iTunes or where ever you listen to music. As always thanks for supporting local music wherever you may be listening. Links below.

Episode 111: Daphne Eckman (Annapolis, MD)

    This week’s guest is Daphne Eckman. She is a solo artist from Annapolis, MD who is currently working on a full length album. I featured her first single “Cannibal” on this episode. Daphne also has a full band show this Friday the 18th at Cult Classic Brewing on Kent Island. It’s an awesome venue across the bay bridge from Annapolis and is a great place to see a band if you haven’t been out there yet. So if you are friends or fans of hers definitely consider snagging some tickets.
     In our conversation we talked about her approach to song writing, her bass player Graham Furniss, and the Annapolis scene in general. Such as former guests Skribe & Kavoossi & Rohry from Cult Classic. Definitely give Daphne a follow on the socials. She’s constantly playing all over town and has a bunch of summer gigs. As always thanks for supporting local music and supporting local art in general. It really does matter to all of us on the show and beyond. Links to music and show below.
