Ep. 108 - Ryan Joseph Anderson

You might be asking yourself, “How do they keep cooking up these tasty treats?” and friend we ask ourselves that question a lot around here; this week’s main course is none other than musician Ryan Joseph Anderson. The songwriting singer and ripping guitarist takes us back and forth from his musical household, trying to write songs before knowing chords, loving on the versatility of the Gibson 335, his work with Go Long Mule, following the vibes to Nashville and Chicago, and his upcoming free gig at Fitzgerald’s May 22nd. Ryan and Hank also reminisce on playing dual lead guitar together in Tom Schraeder’s band, the importance of practice, and intentionality in songwriting. Heady nugs. Also discussed: Hercules podcasting stands, Foo Fighters’ Rock Hall induction, shows coming back, new iLoks, stinker Scorpions Dave’s Docs, Warren Ellis, and the Townsend Labs modeling microphone. How many cats has Joe Bonamassa sacrificed?
