"No one's gonna die, it's just art"This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th.They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it’s like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more.The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that’s blossomed in Wichita, Kansas.From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group.Then, the band gives a look at what’s coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver’s beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.”A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.(Songs heard in this episode: 2 Furreels 2 True & It Takes Hawaii'll) More from this week's guests:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilothttps://linktr.ee/satellitepilotSatellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkOther projects mentioned in this episode:https://www.instagram.com/herviscera/https://www.instagram.com/a.m.pleasureassassins/https://linktr.ee/ampleasureassassins?utm_source=linktree_profile_share https://ampleasureassassins.com/https://www.instagram.com/paradiseovertime/https://linktr.ee/paradiseovertime?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver & Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there’s truly room for everyone.Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you’re playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.”Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here!We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop.Then it’s all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine. Alex walks us through the current lineup, the family inspiration behind the band’s name, what they’re working on now, and so much more!More from this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilothttps://linktr.ee/satellitepilotSatellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

After taking a week to recap the magic and madness of Hulaween 2025, Karl Engelmann returns to the show for part two — and we pick up right where we left off. Karl dives into life at his restaurant and bar, Epic Catering/Mel’s Place, including hosting the Cuddle Clouds album-release party on November 2nd.From there, the duo gets into the world of independent artists — releasing music across formats, the wild talent of mastering engineers (Karl insists they’re “aliens”), and how his current project Cuddle Clouds ties into the broader web of creative work he’s building. He walks us through the roots of the old-time bluegrass movement, what it means to help keep the tradition alive, and how playing upright bass has shaped him both creatively and professionally.They go everywhere: the impact of Hurricane Helene… leaf season in Western North Carolina... Arizona THC gummies… telepathy… and even the eternal question — did Pompeii have a house band? With Karl, it’s never a dull moment, and part two is no exception.Part One: https://droppedamongthiscrowdpod.simplecast.com/episodes/a-conversation-with-multi-instrumentalist-karl-engelmann-part-oneCheck out the self-titled debut from Cuddle Clouds wherever you stream music, and read Sara J's full review on Patreon → patreon.com/datcmediacompanyMore from this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuddlecloudsband/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581501368985https://www.instagram.com/epiccatering/https://www.facebook.com/epiccateringllchttps://www.e-entrees.comTheory One Productions: [https://www.theoryoneproductions.com/https://www.instagram.com/theoryoneproductions/https://www.facebook.com/theoryoneproductionsMulheron Banjos: https://www.mulheronbanjos.com/https://www.instagram.com/mulheron_banjos/Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

This week on the show, Sara J sits down with the one and only Karl Engelmann!An in-depth, no-stone-unturned conversation — but would you expect anything less when Karl comes to hang?We dive into his new creative project, Cuddle Clouds, with drummer Ben Kilmer and their self-titled debut album. Karl walks us through the tracks, the creative process, and the hilarious visual that pops into his mind when he explains the band name.And in true Karl fashion, we naturally veer off into aliens, UFOs, meteors, interstellar objects, Christmas albums, and even a wild story about his project Mother Vinegar playing a show at a strip club.Karl also shares his thoughts on the analog vs. digital debate, what bringing the upright bass into his repertoire has opened up for him (including the chance to play with three completely different bands), and how a trip to Sedona inspired both a track on the album and the full color scheme of the cover.And that’s just part one.Hilarious, nostalgic, and packed with surprises — you’re not going to want to miss it. 🎧Check out the self-titled debut from Cuddle Clouds wherever you stream music, and read Sara J's full review on Patreon → patreon.com/datcmediacompanyMore from this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuddlecloudsband/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581501368985Avi Loeb: https://spotify.link/eq9xQoL3RXbhttps://www.instagram.com/epiccatering/https://www.facebook.com/epiccateringllchttps://www.e-entrees.comDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

In her first solo episode in a while, Sara J. takes the mic to share the whirlwind that was Rocktober — a month packed with music, milestones, and meaning. From an event that marked the culmination of a year’s hard work, to an impromptu adventure to the Away From Home Festival with her daughter, multiple border-crossing trips, finally seeing Steve Hackett live, and celebrating the exhibit opening of friend and iconic photographer Richard Beland — it’s been a ride. Alongside major growth with the company and a wave of new content, Sara also takes a moment to reflect on the past 12 months — and the reminder that no matter what’s happening in the world, music is always there.Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

“There’s always some genesis of it all.”Iconic music photographer Richard Beland is back for the conclusion of his conversation with Sara J, diving right into his latest and most ambitious project yet — Liss Gallery Presents: OUR IMMORTAL STARS Vol. 1, a six-week exhibition and photography book that captures decades of rock history.Richard walks Sara through the journey from the very beginning — meeting with gallery owner Brian Liss, reflecting on his first exhibit with the gallery, and what it means to stand among the photographers he once admired. He also shares the year-long process behind the 250-page book, featuring 200+ photos of over 180 bands and 27 short stories he wrote about the artists who shaped his personal and professional life.The two continue their conversation with stories from across Richard’s incredible career, including:🎸 His recent presentation at The TTH Top Forty Celebration of The Hip for ALS and his creative collaborations with The Tragically Hip🔥 Behind-the-scenes memories from Woodstock ’99🎓 How teaching at Lambton College — and helping build its two-year photography program — gave him a new sense of balance and purpose. Now in his 13th year of teaching, Richard reflects on the ride so far, what keeps him grounded, and why storytelling through photography still matters as much as ever.👉 RSVP to the OUR IMMORTAL STARS Vol. 1 Exhibition: [email: brianliss1801@gmail.com]More from this week's guest:Website: https://richardbeland.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/richard.belandFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/14LapA4SrHW/?mibextid=wwXIfrLiss Gallery Presents: Richard Beland Our Immortal Stars Vol. 1: VIP Book Launch and Artist Reception: October 25th, 2025 - https://www.lissgallery.comListen to Richard on The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown (Song Number 4): https://kite.link/song4Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

“There could be world peace if everybody just went to rock concerts all the time.”This week on Dropped Among This Crowd, Sara J. welcomes world-renowned and iconic music photographer Richard Beland for a captivating two-part conversation that dives deep into music, memory, and the magic of live shows.In Part One, Richard takes us on a journey through his early years in a border town, where mischief and music first intertwined. From discovering his mom’s record collection and obsessively tuning into Detroit radio, to finally getting permission to attend his first concert in 1983 — Richard traces the roots of a lifelong passion.He shares how flipping through rock magazines planted the seeds for his legendary photography career and recounts the moment that changed everything: bringing a Nikon camera to the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty show at Rich Stadium in Buffalo on July 4th, 1986 — a day that set his creative path in motion.Sara and Richard also explore the welcoming spirit of the jamband community, his experiences as a devoted Deadhead (with over 150 shows under his belt), and his heartfelt journals filled with memories from the road. Along the way, Richard opens up about losing his father just three days after his 20th birthday — a pivotal moment that reshaped his connection to touring and storytelling through images.Plus, hear behind-the-scenes tales from his nearly 20 years as house photographer at Fallsview Casino, from shooting rising star Yungblud to an unforgettable (and hilariously awkward) photo session with Art Garfunkel — complete with a ten-minute apologetic voicemail he’ll cherish forever.Get ready for a warm, nostalgic, and insightful conversation about the shows that shaped a career, the people who made it unforgettable, and how the power of live music can change a life.More from this week's guest:Website: https://richardbeland.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/richard.belandFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/14LapA4SrHW/?mibextid=wwXIfrLiss Gallery Presents: Richard Beland Our Immortal Stars Vol. 1: VIP Book Launch and Artist Reception: October 25th, 2025 - https://www.lissgallery.comListen to Richard on The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown (Song Number 4): https://kite.link/song4Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

This week, we’re welcoming some feminine energy to the mic with special guest Leah Naomi Singman — a Michigan-based musician, mother, and longtime friend of Sara J’s.In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Leah opens up about navigating the male-dominated music industry, transforming life experiences into creative purpose, and what we hope our children learn by watching us chase our dreams. We dive into the beauty of live music communities, her deep love for music, and the magical presence of her grandmother’s piano — shipped all the way from Argentina — that sat quietly in the living room throughout her childhood.Leah shares the surprising influence of the legendary Argentine hippie band Sui Generis, and how a Carole King cartoon musical left a lasting impression. From writing her first song at age eight, to picking up a guitar for the first time at Shabbat dinner, not allowing a janky guitar from a flea market to discourage her and learning classical guitar — her musical journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring.With her debut album set to release this November, Leah talks about the creative process, the serendipitous way she met her producer, and the multi-instrumentalist collaborators bringing her songs to life.🎶 Song featured in the episode: “Be Here Now”More from this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leahnaomimusic?igsh=MW5ra3owZHhiZnYxag==Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leah.singmanDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

This week on the show Sara J. is joined by musician and podcast host Mark Hopkins for a wide-ranging conversation that’s equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human.They dive into everything — from the power of music and raw emotion to time itself, ghost stories from Salem, UFOs, and beyond.Mark shares how hearing Pearl Jam’s Ten for the first time changed the trajectory of his life, the early influence of his siblings’ eclectic music tastes, and the unwavering support of his father. A lifelong student of music, he reflects on the Baltimore music scene, playing with past guest Dan Wallace, and the endless joy of falling down music’s rabbit holes, taking the things he loves along the way and adding his finger print to create his own musical "mad libs"They talk creativity’s highs and lows, releasing three new songs in 2025, and the importance of pouring into yourself — including workouts (because yes, Sara loves her workouts).From interviewing Pearl Jam’s first drummer to working remotely for Berklee College of Music while raising his daughter, Mark opens up about life, art, and staying connected to your 15-year-old self, even when you’re “adulting.”Plus: his podcast At Home with Mark (Sara will be a live guest on Oct 28 at 6pm ET!), the magic of meeting your heroes, and why music lovers are all just a little bit like Swifties.More from this week's guest: https://linktr.ee/Markhopkinsmusic?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafQn7eUUTvuENftgU0gyBd8FB9xHD_D1J_ht2BcjYvKOTub1JnNBwtOJmR4mA_aem_aYJ3m08maMAIKlHuq7FYsgFalling Branch Farm Brewery Pumpkin Fest October 4th: https://www.fallingbranch.beer/events-calendar-1Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

Craig talks about the wildest, rain-soaked show they’ve ever played; the verdict is still out on if his guitar pedal survived the experience.Craig revisits a guitar story introduced in part one and brings it full-circle—nearly three decades in the making.Craig takes us through his deep dive process into Gord Downie’s solo catalog through his work on the Discovering Downie Podcast, how that project built a brotherhood with his cohosts and reshaped his relationship with Gord’s music.More from this week's guest:Gift Shop: https://www.giftshophipband.caDiscovering Downie Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/gorddowniepod/Introduce Yerself - Tribute Singers (Discovering Downie Bonus Episode - Craig sits down with the singers from Gift Shop (Ian) and the Almost Hip (Craig) to discuss their performances and what it's like to be in a tribute to The Hip)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discovering-downie/id1740810199?i=1000661217664https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tPxzLobp7lFhwzEYNwPul?si=BN-0_ybMQUWHlHyTae3O1Aall podcast streaming platformsWindows '78:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dgLSNGgttqwpkOO6DnFGs?si=p8Ypp9MXQ5aBLY0_InaEHAApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/windows-78/155673759Loaded Boards Longboard video mentioned in conversation: https://youtu.be/l7OpZ_XQzJI?si=EdWXEisd_Q-u63-PCanadian Alternative Playlist:Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/canadian-alternative/pl.u-DdANNBet9G60ESpotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6biwSrIHlYFrUuxghJja20?si=lGpBxUfSSP--d2w11vsDNAπ=M384ATmqRFCcuVoices of Long Covid: https://voicesoflongcovid.buzzsprout.com/shareDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?
