We are so excited to have Scotty Stoughton, founder of Bonfire Entertainment, as our guest on No Simple Road. There's something truly magnetic about the Winter Wondergrass music festival, and no one knows this better than the man who planted its roots, Scotty Stoughton. As we sat down with the founder himself, we unearthed the core of what makes his festivals more than a gathering - they're a catalyst for community, sustainability, and soul-stirring music. Delving into the heart of Winter Wondergrass, we discovered its enchanting snowy ambiance in Steamboat Springs and the buzz surrounding the Tahoe edition. Scotty's narrative took us through the intricate weaving of music, community support, and the personal battle he and his wife face against Lyme disease, revealing the profound impact of collective good intentions. Our conversation with Scotty didn't just celebrate the rapture of bluegrass and jam grass against the backdrop of mountain festivals; it brought into focus the profound human connections sparked by such events. As we reflected on the serendipitous encounters, like meeting a poet named Apple, and the power of intimate interactions with artists, the episode became a tapestry of tales emphasizing the importance of present moments over digital recordings. These festivals, as Scotty has beautifully curated, invite us to embrace imperfection and unpredictability, binding us together under the canopy of shared experiences and the warmth of music. It was clear that Winter Wondergrass and the festivals Scotty has sown are more than a mere escape; they're a testament to the strength of kinship and the tenderness of interaction. We pondered the impact of a simple smile or a heartfelt welcome, and how these small gestures can transform an entire event's atmosphere. Whether through stories of river events bonding music and nature or the inclusivity that invites local communities to partake in the joy, our discussion with Scotty Stoughton left us inspired to cultivate kindness in our everyday lives and to remember that, sometimes, the most powerful experiences are those that bring us together, regardless of the stage we're on.

We are so damn excited to have Comedian, Actor, Beatboxer, Musician, and Author Reggie Watts as our guest this week on No Simple Road.

We're back with another Artist's Spotlight featuring Chris "Hollywood" English of the Sam Grisman Project! If you've been paying attention to the music scene lately you've heard about the Sam Grisman Project. With a collection of talent rarely seen, this band is creating some of the most incredible musical experiences around. And if you've see them live or listened to the music they make you've had chills run up your spine hearing Chris English sing and play percussion. Chris J. English or “Hollywood” is a staple of the Rochester, NY music scene and is considered one of the star drummers and singers of today. As SGP’s in-house vibe guardian, Hollywood brings effervescent positivity to every situation. Chris came-of-age, playing drums and singing in the church; his voice and tone resonates with heart and deep-rooted passion– THIS MAN CAN SING HIS ASS OFF! In addition, he writes positive, anthemic, and uplifting original songs of his own. Sit back and let the vibe of this conversation make you smile!

This week on No Simple Road we are stoked to have Tyler Ramsey as our guest on the show! At the core of any great singer-songwriter lies this inherent trait of stage presence, one where an entire room, no matter the size, is pulled in by this lyrical tractor beam — all eyes, emotions and energies aimed in one direction at a single voice. For Tyler Ramsey, it’s being able to honestly connect with the listener, whether it be a packed room amid a live show or just someone throwing on his melodies in their own time and space. “Writing is simply a release for me,” Ramsey said. “It’s a way for me to process my own path through this life. Some of the time I get it right — my aim is always honesty in writing.” Albeit a genuinely humble soul, don’t let Ramsey’s words fool you. When it comes to the modern-day singer-songwriter, Ramsey remains a bastion of musical talent and lyrical aptitude — a melodic voice-of-reason and safe haven amid a 21st century world seemingly gone mad. The former lead guitarist of Band of Horses, Ramsey has also released four acclaimed solo albums, including “For The Morning” in 2019. We talk with Tyler about: - Building a life in the woods including vuilding a cabin and recording studio. -Craving solitude and using it as fuel for creativity. -The Asheville music scene. - Meeting Circles Around The SUn and Neal Casal in a guitar shop. -How lyrics are a tool for sorting through moments in time. - His new album New Lost Ages ... and a ton more.

We couldn't be more stoked to have our brothers Spunj in the studio with us this week on No Simple Road! Spunj is a high energy, multi-genre four-piece based out of Eugene, Oregon. Using their diverse musical backgrounds and tastes, Spunj believes in making their live shows not just a musical performance, but an experience. The band incorporates classic songwriting with sections of improvisation to seamlessly weave from genre to genre while keeping the energy high and always danceable. Since 2019, the band has toured the Pacific Northwest relentlessly growing from playing bars and college parties to playing established and respectable venues and festivals and opening for major jam acts such as Spafford, Eggy, Twiddle, Lespecial, Cycles, and Yak Attack. We talk to the guys about getting ready for their first national tour, the difficulty in capturing the live sound in a studio, curling, long road trips, making music that sounds like it is from the heart, snacks, what separates Spunj from other bands, why doing things DIY has been the move so far, and a ton more!

This week on the No Simple Road Weekly Rewind our Conductor bares his soul about some recent struggles he's been facing and not talking about up until now. Sometimes we face things that seem to pile up, one after the other, and don't give us time to integrate. The most important thing to remember is that simply talking these things through and getting them out of our heads and into the air is the beginning of the healing journey. This is a Family conversation and you're all welcome to a seat at our table.

We are super excited to have David Gebroe, host of the Discograffiti Podcast, as our guest on No Simple Road this week. Dave Gebroe has written, produced, and directed two feature films to date. The Homeboy, distributed worldwide by Urban Entertainment, marked his debut. His follow-up was the horror hit Zombie Honeymoon. After a successful festival run (Slamdance, Sitges, Hamptons, Torino, San Francisco International, and many others), Zombie Honeymoon was picked up for national distribution by Showtime, and internationally by Fabrication Films.

In addition, Gebroe has served as manager to such indie music luminaries such as Jessica Pratt and La Sera, and has been a contributing music critic to such publications as the International Review of Music and LiveDaily over the years. This conversation is a masterclass in what it means to lay it all on the line, give it your all, go all in, go balls to the wall. David's frenetic schedule of releasing content is nothing short of incredible and his passion for music is only matched by his humor and his wit.

Bobby Vega - Whatcha Got

Bobby Vega - Whatcha Got

We are so excited to have the legendary Bobby Vegas with us as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Bobby began his professional career at age 15 with Bo Diddley, but he achieved wide attention at age 16 for his distinctive picked and muted bassline on Sly Stone’s “I Get High On You” (from Sly’s 1975 album High On You ). Since then he has contributed his soulful feel and incredibly dynamic playing to a long list of world-class artists including: Billy Preston, Booker T., Paul Butterfield, Joan Baez, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Santana , Tower of Power, Etta James, Zigaboo Modeliste, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Starship, Babatunde Olatunji, Kitaro, Ronnie Laws, Hubert Laws, Lee Oskar, Melvin Seals, Cold Blood, and Zero with Steve Kimock. We had an absolute blast talking to this living legend about his new album 'Whatcha Got', what life was like 'back in the day', how he sees his musical career in hindsight, where he's headed now, and a whloe lot more! Follow Bobby on Instagram @bobby_vega1956  ... and make sure to check out the new album 'Whatcha Got' out now! -Make Sure to visit NORTHBOUND COFFEE ROASTERS for the best Deadhead roasted and delicious coffees + get free shipping with the PROMO CODE: nosimpleroad -For THE BEST MUSHROOM CHOCOLATES EVER go over to @MELTMUSHROOMS ON INSTAGRAM and shoot them a DM for a menu of all the amazing flavors of MUSHROOM CHOCOLATE BARS and MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM NSR SENT YOU FOR $20 OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER! -FREE SHIPPING from Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroad INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - Will Hanza of Escaper MUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF: CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF: CHILLDREN OF INDIGO No Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.

We're back with another Artist's Spotlight featuring Michelle Pietrafitta of Banshee Tree and Dave Dernovsek of Yak Attack! Portland's own Yak Attack combine technical chops, live looping, and vesatility to create a all of danceable sound far beyond the capabitlities of most three-piece bands! Banshee Tree is a band that has a sound as eclectic as its own members, spanning the dimensions of music in a brave new way. The quartet’s style is unique in how it crosses the boundaries of rock, punk, swing, and Django jazz! We sit down with Michelle and Dave to talk about the upcoming tour and find out how this whole thing materialized. One guest in the studio and another on zoom made for a ton of fun here at NSR headquarters and we know you're gonna enjoy being a fly on the wall during this heady and insightful conversation!
