Episode 15 | Carl Wockner - Live Looping, Nerding Out On Gear, Building a Groove
It was an absolute honor to sit down with Carl and talk about Live Looping along with all the combined talents that are necessary for him to create the sound that he has made for him self. Go check out Carl on all of his Socials! Instagram YouTube Spotify Carl started coming over to the States to write and record in 2011, resulting in the release of his debut album Crayon Days in 2013. Two years later, Wockner scored a global win at the International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA,) becoming the first and only Australian to ever win top honors. The creative chameleon who recently signed deals with both Dream Big Dreams Management and Universal Attractions Agency (UAA) draws in a deep breath. “When you go to a music festival or a big show these days, everything is choreographed to an inch of its life. Bands play to tracks and there’s months and months of rehearsals and it’s the same guitar solo every time. (Pauses.) I will never sound as ‘polished’ as that, but I don’t think I want to. People want to hear what life is like, and life is sometimes a challenge.” And while Wockner loves himself a good challenge, he also has come to love the pristineness of the game of golf, a sport he learned to play under the watchful eye of his grandmother and a sport that he could easily have made his career.  “I love shutting my brain off from everything else but what I’m doing in that moment,” explains Wockner, who happened to headline the Opening Ceremony of PGA Honda Classic earlier this year. “Anybody who legit meditates will roll their eyes at this, but for me, it’s a form of meditation. All I think is that I’m going to take this seven iron and draw this ball over the edge of that trap. And crazy enough, it usually does. Because he is Carl fri**in Wockner. “I want to send a message to people that you can follow through with your ambitions, even if you’re over 30 with a wife and kids. I want to give people strength for their aspirations so that it flows back to me when I need a little strength myself.”
Episode 14 | Mat Maxwell (Luke Combs) & Seth Costner (Chris Young) - Their *NEW BOOK* "Hired Musician": a guide to getting and keeping gigs.

Episode 14 | Mat Maxwell (Luke Combs) & Seth Costner (Chris Young) - Their *NEW BOOK* "Hired Musician": a guide to getting and keeping gigs.
Introducing their new book, "Hired Musician": a guide to getting and keeping gigs. Mat Maxwell & Seth Costner not only got "the gig" playing with some of the top country stars of today, but in my opinion, they are doing it all the right way. They are an active part of the music community, and they keep a down to earth attitude in all that they do. Their book takes a deep dive into, not only what it takes, but also what to prepare for when you work your way up as a hired musician. In their book, they take a comical and personal approach while giving you an honest face to face of what being a musician is all about. Check out their book - Hired Musician Mat Maxwell: Mat has been a musician for about two decades; fifteen of those include professional studio and touring experience. Primarily an electric bassist, he has worked his way up to play with some big name artists, like Luke Combs, Ed Sheeran, Vince Gill, Chris Young, Lauren Alaina, and many more. You can find him playing upright and synth bass as well, and he also has a working knowledge of piano and guitar. You’ll catch him listening to, and playing, all kinds of genres. Pop, fusion, country, et al. When not touring or in a session, he love teaching, hosting clinics, and indulging in good coffee/food/cigars. Instagram Facebook YouTube Seth Costner: Seth Costner hails from Gadsden, Alabama and has lived in Nashville, Tennessee since 2003. A graduate of Belmont University’s School of Music, he has worked as a full-time musician and side man for over 15 years. Chris Young, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Lauren Alaina, Lindsay Ell, The Swon Brothers, Caylee Hammack and The Drifters are just some of the artists he’s had the opportunity to work for. While primarily a keys player, he has also toured as an electric guitarist and utility player (acoustic guitar, mandolin, ganjo, harmonica and more). He has released original music, and played on or contributed as a songwriter to projects for artists including The Swon Brothers, JessLee, Tasji Bachman and more. He enjoys watching Super Mario Bros. speedruns on YouTube, and being first in line to try the latest limited run Zaxby’s food items. The Easy Part - EP Instagram

Episode 7 | Timothy Burkhead - Drumming for Maggie Rose, the idea behind "Cues", Creative ways of making money as a musician
We have been looking forward to hanging out with Timothy Burkhead for a long time! It was so cool to be able to chat with him about his many endeavors. Timothy is not only the drummer for Maggie Rose, but the founder of TM Inc and Cues. Maggie Rose has created a heck of a name for herself as she and her band have played the Grand Ol Opry 100+ times, and shared the stage with artists like Kelly Clarkson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Heart, Joan Jett, Eric Church, and many more. Since Timothy joined as Maggie's drummer, they have been hitting the road hard, and it has been so inspiring to see how much their work is paying off! Timothy is also serving the drumming community with his invention of Cues. This is a labeling system for drum pads, midi keys | controllers, and road cases. I have seen Cues pop up more and more with touring drummers in Nashville, as there is clearly a need for an easy way to label their triggering pads while on stage for easy use. In addition, Timothy is also the founder of TM Inc. TM Inc. provides on-the-road support, live event consultation, and tour coordination services for live music professionals of all budgets and experience levels. They are on a mission to make event management more efficient, and have raised over $60,000+ through wefunder. Timothy's journey is truly exciting to watch, so go give him a follow and see what it's all about!
