This is episode four with Brian leading into the April 2nd debut of his latest album, "New World Rising". We take a deep dive into the album discussing the remaining six tracks with regards to the song's inspiration, meaning, and a mini-version of "rig rundown". It's a special conversation hearing from Brian what the songs mean to him, while understanding how the listener is free to interpret they lyrics any way they see fit. That's the power of music! You can find his music on Apple, YouT...

He tells us about his introduction to The Neville Brothers and shares memories of the near decade he spent touring and recording...
In this episode I sit down with solo artist, faithful band member, and prominent session guitarist Brian Stoltz. This is the first of a few episodes we’re doing together leading into the debut of his newest album, “New World Rising”, out April 2nd. Like many, Brian’s interest in music began with the Beatles and a beater acoustic guitar. Before he could drive Brian was already playing country bars and juke joints in southern Louisiana. Brian met The Neville Brothers in 1981, auditi...
In this episode I have the honor of sitting down with Falcon Eddy of the Galveston Guitar Lounge. He takes us through his guitar journey that properly began as a teenager at Gibson's department store when he bought a Teisco Del Ray, amp, and case for $29. Falcon Eddy moved up quick... next a Gibson SG and then a Gibson Dove. He even managed to trade a bass for a car! A lot of his journey revolved around the harmonica... there's too many guitar players :-) Falcon Eddy then walks us through...
In this podcast I have the pleasure of hosting a conversation with artist and guitar maker Robert Randall XI, yes the eleventh.

Robert's guitar journey began at age 10 when he started taking lessons and ended with his parents selling his guitar a couple of years later....
In this episode I have a candid conversation with singer, songwriter, guitar slinger, and guitar dealer Izzy Miller. In Izzy’s own words, “I’ll tell you exactly how I feel about anything”, and that’s exactly how this one goes. If you’ve followed Izzy on social media for any length of time you know he has a huge personality and a great sense of humor. It all shines through during the show, but most importantly, he’s a good dude. Thank you Izzy! We have a blast bouncing around begin...

In this week’s podcast I have the privilege of hanging out with Chris Kelly. I don’t usually struggle for words, but it’s hard to put into writing where to start. My jaw was on the floor for most of the conversation, listening and laughing in amazement, but Chris disperses so much great substance in the mix you’ll listen to this one a few times. Chris has a storied tenure with legacy guitar brands such as Robin, Ibanez, Peavey, and Budda Amps. Much of our time focused...

When I asked Jonathan Spangler, Founder and CEO of Ciari guitars, how the idea came to him to create a travel guitar he responded with… “Study the friction in your day, solive it for you and you’ll solve it for someone else.” The seminal moment for Jonathan and his idea for a premium, pro-level travel guitar came about when he flew to Germany to perform a 40-minute set of Johnny Cash at a German metal festival. The podcast is 43 minutes and it is absolutely packed full of information ab...
In this week’s episode I talk with multi-instrumentalist and producer Matt Charnoski about his guitar journey and how it lead to having a professional career in the music industry. Matt came out of the gate with his G.A.S. by landing a Fender Musicmaster as his first guitar when he was a kid by roping his grandmother and mom into the purchase through an elaborate pyramid scheme :-). Not bad for a pre-teen! The conversation increases in intensity as Matt describes how he landed a “...
In this Guitar Gavel podcast episode I have the good fortune to sit down with Scott Olson and hear his guitar stories. Me: “Scott, what was your first guitar, when did you start playing?” Scott Olson: “It was actually the drums that started…” Had it not been for the wall of guitars behind Scott in the video frame I thought for a split-second this podcast was DOA :-). Scott goes on to show off his pride and joy Charvel, the Flying V he made, and thinline strat-style guitar he built among...
