Tune in this week to hear my conversation with Aqueous + Death Kings guitarist and vocalist, Mike Gantzer. Mike and I talk about a whole bunch of topics like:
* Death Kings, how it all came together, and what its been like for Mike to work on this project.
* The Green Day set he played with Kris Myers and Ryan Stasik at Summer Camp Music Festival 2017 and how that started laying the ground work for Death Kings.
* March 2020 when Aqueous was set to open for Umphrey’s in San Diego before everything was cancelled
* What 2020 was like for him personally and as a musician. What he focused on most during the time off the road and the lessons he’s learned.
* His solo acoustic “Storytellers” type shows back in April
* Teaching lessons on Lively
* The importance of mental health, vulnerability, and courage
* What inspired him to pick up the guitar and how skateboarding played a huge piece into that
* Seeing Umphrey’s McGee for the first time
*How’s he’s inspired by UM personally and professionally
* What song he would sit in with UM if he was given the opportunity
* The punk version of "Uncle Wally" from Summer Camp Music Festival 2004
* The Town Ballroom
* Moe.
* The most valuable piece of advice he’s gotten about being a musician
and more!
