Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity

Lancer"s Lounge (Backstage & Unfiltered) ·

2026/04/17

The 90s was such a magnificent decade for music. There were so many different bands, creating masterpieces. There were so many different sounds coming from your speakers. One band, 1st listen, had a guitar player that piqued my curiosity. It was ear candy cranked to 11. It was Corrosion of Conformity and Pepper Keenan. I get to chat with Pepper about that introduction, with ‘Deliverance’. We talk about his other project Down with Phil Anselmo of Pantera. And we talk new music from both for 2026

For this episode, I get to geek out a bit. Going back to my 20s, when my musical tastes really started to take shape, during the 90s.

Carla Harvey is not only uber talented, but driven, to showcase her talents. Whether it be fronting Butcher Babies, Lords of Acid or her all girls band, The Violent Hour. She’s also created her own comic books, she’s working on her Masters Degree. We talk all of that, her early influences, her clapping back at not being accepted for a talent show in high school, moving out West and taking a leap of faith. She had faith in herself. She’s always bet on herself. And it’s paying massive dividends as she

Lancer"s Lounge (Backstage & Unfiltered) ·

2025/09/09

Back in 2013, a band called Halestorm came through the North Country and rocked the gymnasium at JCC. And drummer, Arejay, did what calls, ‘creating a moment’, by wearing the tie of a fan that came backstage for a meet and greet, the entire show. We talk those moments, the new album and tour. We also talk the beginnings of Halestorm, early influences, and the impact they’ve had on millions of fans.

Scott Stapp

2025/06/27

Scott Stapp & Creed, when they emerged, I thought… I’ll see these guys in a club. They’ll back my way. & I missed them. They opened for a local band, this was pre-the release of ‘My Own Prison’. I’m not even sure they were officially signed yet. They played this dive called the Draft House. Loved that place. & I missed it… we tried to get them to play a festival for about 6 months after that & then again after that, & again. But we couldn’t. They had, blown up. They were too big

2025/06/20

I first started programming radio stations back in 2002. It was an Alternative station in Louisville, KY. Whilst there, I had a privilege to meet & talk with Amy Lee of Evanescence.

Ronnie Vegas

2025/06/03

Ronnie Vegas for episode 33. Ronnie is the ultimate go getter. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone work harder, in trying to promote and market his band. He understood what he needed to do and he did it. We’re going to hit rewind and talk the band, Tyrade. We’ll talk how it started and how it ended. We’ll talk everything he did to make that band click. And we’ll talk what he’s doing now… what brought him back to living and breathing what he loves. Please take a listen, spread the word and hope you

Ryan Hardy

Lancer"s Lounge (Backstage & Unfiltered) ·

2025/05/29

Part of what I like about this iteration of my podcast, is I don’ feel boxed in. The centerpiece is music, but it’s from all angles. For this, particular angle, I get the chance to chat with my friend, Ryan Hardy. Many beyond the North Country don’t know his name. But those of us here, we do. He is a man that has battled demons and addictions and redirected those into an addiction of music, and making it. That’s in large part a credit to his son, his muse, his inspiration… makes him a good dad…

Gary Hoey

Lancer"s Lounge (Backstage & Unfiltered) ·

2025/05/19

For episode 31, I get to go deep with one of the 100 greatest guitar players on the planet. A man who auditioned over the phone for Ozzy Osbourne. That audition, by the way got him flown to LA for an official audition. Gary Hoey is an incredible player that has toured with too many legends to count. He had an instrumental hit at radio during the early days of grunge and he redefined what you could do for Christmas music. Loved this interview, love his new album, ‘Avalanche’ as well. Please, check it

Taking a trip back in time for my next chat, episode 30. Gil Moore of Triumph. They had such a memorable live show, ahead of the times in regards to lighting and pyrotechnics. And they were one of the most positive bands out there, writing anthems for the ages. In this chat we talk that rich Triumph history, as well as a new Triumph Tribute being released. We also talk about his killer studio, Metal Works. So much here. Makes me want to crank up the Triumph. Hopefully, you too. Check it out and
