In this episode, I open up about my personal journey in music—how our band Nemesis came to be, and the legendary rock albums that shaped my taste along the way. I share how storytelling through music creates powerful emotional connections, and why certain lyrics hit harder than others.

We also swap stories about unforgettable concert moments and how rock and roll has evolved over the years. From crowd-surfing memories to backstage laughs, it's all about the energy and how music brings people together.

But it doesn’t stop there.

We dive deep into heavier themes like service, justice, and the complex issues surrounding capital punishment and for-profit prisons. I reflect on how society handles punishment, the hypocrisy we often ignore, and how history continues to repeat itself.

And yes, there’s still room for laughs—like real-life traffic encounters and the process of writing songs that come from the heart.

I even share some wild stories from recent cruise ship adventures—because let’s be honest, music sounds different when you're out at sea with a cold drink and the sunset behind you.

Whether you're here for the music, the real talk, or just a good story—I’ve got you covered.
