The beneficiary was Health Care for the Homeless, which provides medical, dental, therapy, and addiction services to Baltimore’s most vulnerable populations.

Episode 308 features Brian Wolff from Austin, Texas. This is his second time on the show, and we’re playing a show together this Thursday in Austin at Liberty Bar on East 6th Street with a bunch of our friends from the podcast—so we’re all excited for that. Brian has been busy releasing music and recently received a grant from the city to record an album. We had a lot to catch up on, and I featured his latest track, Leave the Lights On. Born in upstate New York, Brian moved to Austin in 2012. His musical style draws heavily from Classic Rock, ’90s Alternative, and Americana. His songs are marked by big guitars and impactful rhythms, complete with thoughtful, introspective, and unique lyrics. In the summer of 2024, Brian Wolff & The Howlers performed at Spiedie Fest in Binghamton, NY, sharing the festival stage with Chris Young and Shaboozey. They built a tour around it and spent the summer performing across the U.S. Shortly after, they were awarded a grant from Austin’s Live Music Fund.

Andrew blends Americana and folk-punk, drawing from his San Antonio folk-punk roots with influences like Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and Bright Eyes, crafting poignant, playful, and raw lyrics.

Episode 306 features myself and Christian, aka half of The Hollow Truths. We released a new song today, so I wanted to catch up with Christian and talk about that, as well as some general stuff. The song is called ‘Guitars Aren’t Meant for Cases’ and is streaming wherever you listen to music. I’m proud of how it turned out, and as far as our catalogue goes, it feels like a step in a new direction. I would almost dare say that we’ve matured, but this episode will likely demonstrate otherwise. In any case, we’re gearing up for some shows this spring, including Austin for SXSW week with our buds from the pod: Brendan Lane, Brian Wolff, Bad Acid, and Dominique Delaney. As well as some gigs around town and up the east coast. Which I’ll be posting about on the band page.

If you like it, you can stream it wherever you listen to music. The band’s sound is fairly hardcore and is self-described as ‘designed to have you head banging in your car while you chug your morning red bull to get the taste of PBR and clove cigarettes out of your mouth before you get to work.’ It was a fun conversation, and hopefully, you enjoy it wherever you are tuning in from.

Episode 304 features Bad Acid (ATX) from Austin, Texas. We will be playing a show together in March for a South by Southwest showcase that I gave been putting together, so I wanted to get them on the show. In the episode, I spoke with Keith Moore, a longtime veteran of the scene. I featured their new track “Stations” on this episode. Their sound could loosely be described as garage rock with some elements of punk. Our show will be at The Liberty Bar on East 6th Street on March 13th with former guests of the show Brian Wolff & Dominic Delaney, & Brendan Lane, among others. So if you are in town for the conference, feel free to stop by. Austin is always a great time during South by week, and I highly recommend getting down there one year if you haven’t been. This will be the first of a few episodes featuring Austin bands, as I often do in March. In the conversation, we talked a lot about the changing scenery of Austin, avoiding becoming jaded, and art as a whole.
