Music On Your Own Terms 050 - Ryan Van Poederooyen
The podcast has reached 50 episodes! Not only am I celebrating with a killer guest, but I am also releasing this on my 41st birthday. Joining me is Ryan Van Poerderooyen, drummer with both Devin Townsend Band and Project, and now his crushing new band Imonolith. We delve into how Ryan got into drumming, how he has created a career revolving around music, and the challenges and keys to successfully starting a new band and self releasing the music on the same scale as more established acts he has been touring with for decades. We also hear about Ryan's RVP Health Body and Mind community that has seen him giving powerful motivational seminars for free to supporters while on the road. Ryan tells us what drove him to lose over 50 lbs after a serious back injury and how he got back into peak performance shape for grueling shows with DTP, as well as the nine key principals he applies to his entire life in order to achieve fantastic goals and live his life to its absolute max.

Music On Your Own Terms 047 - George Bletsas/Hypnotic Nausea
Hypnotic Nausea is a hard rock band from Athens, Greece, that has prog and art-rock leanings, heavily inspired by both Tool and grandiose concept albums from the 70s. In this chat I talk to singer and guitarist George Bletsas about the band's beginnings, their influences and sound, along with how they decide on what concepts to work on and how they compose the music. We discover the deeper meaning to their albums "Hypnosis" and their newest release "The Death of All Religions" and see what effect the current corona virus situation has had on the band writing new material.

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 40 - Marbin
For episode 40 I caught up with the incredible jazz-fusion band Marbin at The Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney Texas before their show. We hear from Danny and Dani about the difficulty of being a fusion band in today's jazz climate, the importance of sacrifice in order not only to be the best musician you can, but also to work on building an audience through constant touring. We hear how the guys operate the business side of the band, an important lesson about splitting responsibilities, how they approach writing music with the other members, and bass player Jon gives his perspective on being a hired musician in this arrangement. There are more great anecdotes and wisdom than I can fit in my introduction, so make sure you listen to the whole interview - these guys are not only amazing musicians, but they are extremely savvy when it comes to the business of gaining fans and navigating the gigging circuit.

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 39 - Chase The Comet
Episode 39 features Nika Comet, one half of Chase The Comet, an LA-based rock/metal duo that made a brave jump to move from their home of Moscow, Russia, to follow the American dream of hustle and entrepreneurship to bring their music to the world. Nika talks us through growing up in a theatrical family, being in bands in high school, and working as session musicians. She tells us the challenges of finding band members with the same goals and vision, why being a duo is the best situation right now, and also she shares her experiences with mental health. This interview is a great insight into an upcoming band with great songs, and illustrates the importance of sacrifice and the drive to see your ultimate vision through.

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 35 - Chris Birkett & Shari Tallon/The Free Spirits
Joining me this episode is award winning producer, guitarist and fellow Brit, Chris Birkett whose album credits have collectively sold over 100 million copies, including Sinead O'Conner's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" featuring the massive Prince cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U". Chris is joined by Shari Tallon, a pianist, flutist, composer, and music educator, who together with Chris form The Free Spirits.
We have a fantastic conversation that covers both Chris and Shari's individual histories, how they met and formed the band and the creation and meaning of their new album 11:11. We also discuss Chris's thoughts on what it means to be a musician and the state of the corporate music industry today, as well as Shari's incredible work with disadvantaged and disabled children that brings the joy of music into their lives, to help tackle some of their day to day challenges.
Most importantly though, we hear about the theremin incident during the recording of John Otway's latest album on the island of Montserrat, and discover the composition of the mysterious "Green Yum"

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 34 - Joe Leach/Riff City Guitar
Right before the holiday I talked to Joe Leach, owner of Riff City Guitar, a Minnesota based guitar store that was the first US retailer to bring the Chapman guitars brand to America, and unfortunately has recently closed its doors. We discuss Joe's background in both sales and music; his journey in entrepreneurship and the different businesses he's been a part of and look at the the retail industry at large. We talk about how important it is to figure out your "why" and I'm extremely grateful to Joe for sharing with us his experience with depression, anxiety and addiction, and his insight into how he's managed to overcome some things and live with others. Music is courtesy of the band Unturned, featuring Joe's son Will on guitar!
