Brian Fallon is the frontman for the legendary New Jersey Band The Gaslight Anthem and Emily Wolfe is an amazing guitarist/songwriter/singer/force of nature.
They have both been on the podcast independently multiple times and when I saw that they went on tour together and became pals... I had to get them on for an epic dual-guest episode!
On this one, a lot of goofing off occurs. Because that is what happens when a bunch of nerdy friends get together! In addition we discuss:
Brian's ever rotating guitar lineup
Emily's pedalboard
The Fender Deville
Double neck guitars
Has Brian changed his stance on humbuckers in Telecasters?
Mule Resonator Guitars
How Rad Emily's Signature Guitar is
Ugly Pedals
A whole lot more!

Drayton Farley (WOW This Is A Good One!!)
Drayton Farley is an incredible musician from Alabama. His music and songwriting is definitely in the Americana/Country/Singer-Songwriter vein, but what I didn't know is that this dude is a legit metalhead.
The conversation spans a great many subjects from Drayton's top 7 listened to songs, his compact pedalboard, the Kendrick vs Drake beef, how he got hooked up with Martin Guitars, how horrible the world is (or isn't?) knock off guitars, dressing like slobs, and WAY MORE!
Check out his music on all platforms and check out his website for all of the latest news https://draytonfarley.com/

The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.
