I should also mention that Joey specializes in the upright bass which I feel kinda sets him apart. Anyway on this episode we’ll be debuting a new Joey Harkum song called “Lovin’ Arms.” Which is pretty rad. So gratitude and thanks to both Joey’s for sending that over. Harkum will be putting out a new acoustic album in ac couple months.  And if you are friends of fans of theirs, I hope you dig it.

Episode 66: Charles Kavoossi

My guest today is Charles Kavoossi. He is local musician, singer, songwriter in the Annapolis area. He’s got a new song out called “Hatteras.” Which is featured on this episode. In any case, I’ve been looking forward talking to Kavoossi for a while now because he’s a fairly prominent piece of the local scene here in Maryland. And I think for anyone out there listening who’s trying to support your scene as well, he’s a great of example of how to do it. He also does video work for bands and plays guitar for a local legend around here by the name of Joey Harkum. His new song is listed below.

Episode 64: Top Dead Center

Episode 64 features my guests Matt, Nick, and Tom from Top Dead Center. They are a local maryland rock cover band. They were gracious enough to invite my band The Hollow Truths to join forces with them May 8th, 2021 for a show at Fish head Cantina.  So well got together the other night to talk about the show and what all they’ve been up to as a band. After meeting up with them I can safely say they are tight knit group. In the best way. I think in a lot of ways good bands are as much like gangs as they are musicians.
