  • In this episode, Jesse explores the deep passion and relentless drive behind playing music. Drawing parallels between music and hitting a perfect golf shot, we delve into the joy of playing an instrument or having a musical conversation with fellow musicians. The episode touches on the importance of connecting with your music, the audience, and the struggles young musicians face. We discuss the dangers of comparing oneself to others and emphasize measuring personal growth. The discussion also includes insights on parenting, the significance of not stifling creativity in children, and the journey of perseverance and practice in achieving success. This episode is a deep dive into the world of music, connection, and personal growth.

    The After the Gig podcast is moving to Substack! There shouldn’t be any change to how you view, or listen to the show, but we will now be using Substack as our new hosting site! The show will remain the same on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and anywhere else you listen to After the Gig. The video version is also still available on YouTube, which I highly recommend! Please reach out to [email protected] for any question or concerns!

  • Here he is. The world’s sweetest sound guy. It’s Billy Ferguson
 I truly love Billy, and you should too. He’s a hard worker, a great sound guy, and all around spectacular human being. Billy was the former sound guy for Red Wanting Blue, and Carbon Leaf. He’s a former fire fighter, and now holds the position of sound guy at The Harvester performance center in Rocky Mount, VA (I accidentally said it was in Roanoke in the podcast intro). This was a fantastic conversation and I hope you enjoy it too!
