Utah’s One Thing: Folk Hogan

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

This one is a doozy! We had 5 of 6 band members of Folk Hogan join us for episode 169 to celebrate their new album release. This is what they told us you should do while visiting Utah!

Moses said it’s a tough question. He said there are so many wonderful things in the state. Salt Lake is a special town, and you should go to some of the great under ages locations. He mentioned Diabolical Records, The Beehive, The Underground… Moses said he is constantly impressed by the music that comes out of Salt Lake City. He specifically mentions, Baby Gurl. Moses threw in a vegan restaurant too, BoltCutter.

Canyon said, besides Folk Hogan, of course. Go to Goblin Valley, take mushrooms and break your leg. Canyon actually said if you have to come to Utah and do one thing, put a suit on and go to a rural city and go to church. You sit there for two hours and see what people in Utah grew up with. He doesn’t want you converted, just see what it is like. *also he said do this drunk* Also, Lagoon is fun he guesses…

Kameron said he had an easy answer! He visit Moab, Canyonlands, and all the other places… the places that make you feel like you are on a different planet, and that includes Arches. Or as Canyon said, do the Teddy Roosevelt. *aka visit the national parks*

Jared he likes to go to Subway. *joking… we joke* (Jared has since left the band) He did say try the beers cause Utah has some of the best craft beers.

Nick has given us his one thing before, but he said to try the Del Taco… wah wah… He did bring up some local places like Taco Time and some local taco trucks downtown Salt Lake City.

Curtis would give a counterpoint to Kameron and say the mountains… but he wasn’t here so…

Episode 169 Behold… It’s Folk Hogan

Standard

We’ve had Nick Passey join us on past shows. Our show has opened for two years with a little piece of music from Folk Hogan (Bootleggers Dance), alas… it was time that we had more members of the band join us! The band of mighty souls!!

Nick is gritty as the guitarist. Moses is marvelous on the mandolin. Canyon is astounding on the accordion. Kameron breaks out the beats on the banjo. Jared batters the bass. And Curtis, even though he is dead to us at the moment… he detonates the drums!!! And they all sat down with us for episode 169.

We talk with the band, except Curtis, about the origins of Folk Hogan. The tender beginnings and line up changes. We learned about the official Folk Hogan game called beerball! Behold is their first album release in 4 years and it’s solid! You can download on your favorite streaming service or better yet, buy in from their website. Folk Hogan will be touring Europe during the month of September and you can always catch them for local shows and events around Utah and sometimes out of state. There was a lot of silly non-sense talk from Planned Parenthood to Utah high school mascots on this episode, which truly make for a great laugh. The band members are super smart and super witty! We look forward to having them back.

Episode 93 Vegan Grindr should exist.

Standard

**WARNING* We did indeed eat our chicken sandwiches from Pretty Bird Chicken in front of a vegan… our deepest apologies.

We, at the New Utah Podcast, have been very fortunate to build relationships in the community and keep them going over the past 93 weeks! Nicky Passey joined us for episode 37 when his solo album was released and we were so glad he was back to celebrate his upcoming vinyl release of “Working Through Some Shit” on April 21st. We like to think his sound is a combination of greats such as Ben Folds, Johnny Cash, and They Might Be Giants. You will have to listen and decide for yourself.

Nick taught us this week about how his vinyl was pressed, how he chose the company that he did (Pirates Press), what happens when you put out to social media that a band member has died when they really haven’t, and the importance of Vegan Grindr. It’s not really a thing, but we think that Nick should snatch up that name and create a vegan app. Nick is also still deep in the process of creating his own and custom buttons/pins/coasters for businesses and consumers! We definitely love our buttons! If Nick isn’t out touring bass with Folk Hogan, you can catch him doing solo shows all around the Wasatch Front. Oh, and he is for hire! Check Nick out on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and of course his website. Tune into this episode for a great list of vegan restaurants in Utah!

This week we also talked through important issues like getting tattoos and the different types of buffet eaters that exist. Pressing, right? This is the last week of the Utah Legislation session. We will have a run through in the upcoming weeks of bills that passed.
