From Canada's East Coast. Drums and more. Your host has studied jazz, toured in an indie band, taught, DJ'd, barista'd, busked, once trained as a "Sales Architect" at a call centre on the advice of a guy who picked him up hitch-hiking. Before that, he was the bassist in a hard rock band for like 2 weeks. He tried smoking a cigarette on stage. It stung his eyes.

EXCLUSIVE! UNRELEASED! ALL CAPS! This week's video didn't really make sense as a podcast, so instead here's a bit that got cut. It was too long (10 mins) to sift through and edit, but we believe it makes sense here. Hop in and let's get to the gig!
