Today’s episode is a conversation I had with Milwaukee-based musician Trapper Schoepp. We discussed his love of Tom’s music, the background behind his cover of Free Fallin’ which you can find on all streaming platforms, his co-write with Bob Dylan (yes, you read that right!) and he rapid-fire answered my ten questions, which is why…

Today’s episode is Doc Wiley and Chris Gillette’s answers to my ten questions. Doc found a good hack to my question “Which Tom Petty concert from history would you like to have seen” and Chris talked wonderfully about Walls and mentioned that The Waiting played it during their PBS special, which will be airing in…

Today’s episode is the fourth installment of my #Guestember series of conversations. This one is with the wonderfully funny and insightful Doc Wiley and Chris Gillette, who are the bass player and singer/rhythm guitarist in Montana-based tribute band, The Waiting. Like my previous tribute band guests, The Waiting don’t put on wigs and costumes and…

Maybe she’s the girl who is gonna be picked up in King’s Highway. Maybe the thing she’s finally managed to break free from is a relationship with a self-obsessed movie star who has been pulled into a world of glamour and glitz. Maybe, just maybe, I’m massively overthinking this, but it sure is fun to…

Today’s episode covers the Ten Questions part of my conversation with Will Porteous. It’s no surprise which album Will chose as his favourite, but our conversation about which song we’d give to someone who didn’t know Tom’s music saw us talking about a few deep cuts that don’t often get a shout out on that…

Today’s episode is a conversation I had with powerhouse multi-disciplinarian and resident of Diss, Will Porteous. As a quick warning, there’s a bit of profanity in this episode, but when you get two Englishmen in a room (even virtual) the langauge will change on a dime! I’ve been looking forward to this chat for somewhere…

There are, again, some very big ideas packed into this very simple almost-four-minute pop song and as always, Tom isn’t preaching or judging, just observing. As my wonderful guest Matt Jaffe said during our Ten Questions episode, Tom is never didactic. He’s not saying that celebrity is bad, he’s not judging the family’s luck or…

Today’s episode covers the Ten Questions part of my conversation with Russell Mark of The Nextdoors. Russell took a completely unique approach to the question about which artist he’d like to hear cover Tom’s music and which song they’d perform. It’s a really cool take on preserving Tom’s musical legacy with a new audience. Please…

Today’s episode is a conversation I had with the wonderful Russell Mark, of the Pasadena-based husband and wife due, The Nextdoors. Russell is also a long time performer, composer, sound engineer, producer, music camp director and was a very easy person to sit and talk to for just over an hour and a half! I…

“You could almost take Mike [Campbell] for granted, because anything you asked him to do, he did it. And more. I don’t remember ever throwing anything his way that he couldn’t do. He could do it, and do it better than you thought. He will give you back your idea better than you had it…
