Episode 237 Create the Thing. Sell the Thing.

Standard

We always love having Nick Passey join us. He’s like family. This time we had Nick join us via Skype for episode 237 to talk about his recent business venture, Record Spread and the glorious release of his awaited 2nd album!

We have some great holiday lists of things to do during COVID. One of our favorite adventure sites, Utahs Adventure Family, has laid it all out by county and area. They’ve even included a list of cancelled events.

Only in your State always has amazing lists and they have 14 things that are classic Utah holiday things.

Nick is always busy with new ideas and ventures whether it is Folk Hogan, making buttons, designing websites, or working on his own solo music projects. For the last couple years he has been working on his 2nd album, If I’m Saying It Right. The week we recorded with Nick he received his shipment of newly pressed vinyl records! They are beautiful. He is currently taking orders.

Nick has also been working on his new project, Record Spread. Nick explains it best.

We talk about supporting local every week. Having your own music discovery service fits right into that. Record Spread is a gift subscription to friends or to yourself!

You can follow Record Spread on Instagram, Facebook and the website. You can follow Folk Hogan on Facebook ,Instagram, and on their website. Of course you can follow Nick and the Perpetual Sadness on Facebook, Instagram, and their website.

We also highly suggest following Nick on his personal Instagram because not only is he an incredible musician and graphic designer, he also cooks the most beautiful, and clever, vegan meals.

Episode 164 Jeff Dillon and NOT the Dill-weeds

Standard

Jeff Dillon, Utah musician, joined us during episode 164 for an awesome interview about finding your voice in a local music scene!

Sometimes your born with music in your soul and that is where Jeff’s story starts. A musical family, just not the music Jeff loved. Growing up Jeff was influenced by artists such as Helmut, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Stabbing Westward, and Front 242. Jeff’s first band started in high school, Viciate, and would only last a short time. From 22-34 Jeff was just adulting, as we all find ourselves doing at one point or another. At 34, Jeff decided to pick up a guitar again and started taking guitar lessons. He then stepped back in front of a mic with his guitar. Jeff has now been playing again for 5 years, with 1 and a half of those as front man of Jeff Dillon and the Revival.

Jeff recently released his 2nd album, Reflections. We talked about how being an artist now is much different than when he started music 20 years ago. There might not be an opportunity to become a superstar, but the reach that music has now because of streaming is almost achieving a level that artists have always dreamed of. This was our first episode that we were graced by a musician playing live on our show!
