Bob Fudge – Colter Wall I’m finally done with the term, and I’m finally back to being able to jam out all day long at work. It’s a nice feeling for sure. It is an unfortunately temporary arrangement, but I am trying not to take it for granted. Colter Wall is one of the coolest… Read more

Dance In the Desert – Daniel Donato Happy New Year! I decided to start off 2025 with a really fun one. Daniel Donato is a hell of a guitar player, and I would recommend listening to more than just the song I chose to feature to get a real sense of his style. This one… Read more

John Came Home – Benjamin Dakota Rogers Happy Monday! This one is good for putting us in the Halloween spirit, I think. I came across Benjamin Dakota Rogers on TikTok of all places, and was stopped in my doom scrolling tracks by the opening guitar lick of “John Came Home“. I have long been a… Read more
