Bringing my knowledge of progressive rock and metal, alongside other genres, and my love of conversation to the table, Tapestry is a podcast where I dig to get the answers about why music drives us to create. In each conversation I explore

Welcome to Episode 42 of Tapestry, where I had an extremely informative conversation with Kelli Rae Tubbs, the 2020 recipient of the Paul Charosh Independent Scholar Fellowship.

On Episode 39, Dani Rabin, founding member and guitarist of Chicago-based jazz outfit Marbin, leaves me with an astounding amount of philosophical takes—he muses about his thoughts on the lack of consensus in the jazz genre and the influence of the cultural zeitgeist on labels, how editing has opened the door to accuracy - and what that means for people trying to preserve perfection, why his band DOESN’T rehearse, and at long last, an explanation of the story behind their song “Alabama Sock Party!”
