<p>We are super stoked to have the one and only Steve Kimock as our guest on No Simple Road this week! </p><p>Steve Kimock has proved himself a master of fluid improvisation for over four decades, in the process inspiring music fans with his transcendent guitar speak voiced through electric, acoustic, lap and pedal steel guitars.&nbsp;With his multi-decade reputation as a blazing psychedelic guitarist versatile enough to touch almost all aspects of American music.</p><br><p>Once touted by Jerry Garcia as his “favorite unknown guitar player,” Kimock has also performed as part of Bob Weir’s Kingfish and toured in both 2007 and 2014 with Bob Weir’s band RatDog, in addition to post-Grateful Dead ensembles including The Other Ones, Phil Lesh &amp; Friends,&nbsp;and the Rhythm Devils featuring Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann.&nbsp;</p><br><p>We get right into a super heady conversation that begins with what we think a tree's experience of being alive is like, finding "the moment" and if there is ego involved in it or not, what Steve sees as 'celebrity' and how he's managed to not find that space, why he loves to "find his way" when playing music, how we evolved as a species to gather with music as our centerpiece, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>Steve is currently on tour all over the US so head over to <a href="https://kimock.com/shows/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kimock.com</a> to find out more!</p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.circlesaroundthesun.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN</em></strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

<p>Our friends Starfinder Stanley, Hawk Semins, and Pete Bell from the Owsley Stanley Foundation join us for a special extra episode of No Simple Road this week! This is a true musical history lesson contained in this episode. We travel all the way to Ireland to find the roots of Bluegrass music waiting and find out why Jerry Garcia invited The Chieftains to Open for Old And In The Way in 1973!</p><br><p>The Owsley Stanley Foundation's mission is to preserve more than 1,300 recordings left behind by famed Wall Of Sound engineer and architect and infamous LSD chemist, Owsley "Bear" Stanley. These preserved and meticulously remastered releases have been entitled "Bears Sonic Journals". The Owsley Stanley Foundation’s ninth release of&nbsp;<em>Bear’s Sonic Journals: The Foxhunt</em>&nbsp;features the Chieftains performing live in San Francisco in 1973 (CD &amp; vinyl) and 1976 (CD &amp; digital only).</p><br><p>We talk with Starfinder, Pete, and Hawk about the painstaking work that went into creating this release, the detective work that went into creating the 30+ page booklet of info and stories that come with the physical copies, the artwork and why this particular piece was chosen for the cover, traveling to Dublin just prior to Paddy Moloney's death to get the whole story, and so much more!</p><br><p>To purchase a copy of this amazing release head over to <a href="https://owsleystanleyfoundation.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.owsleystanleyfoundation.org/</a></p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>LAMP</em></strong></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

<p>This week on No Simple Road we are stoked to bring you Patrick Harvey of Cycles as our guest on the show! </p><br><p>The current incarnation of the ever-developing sound of Cycles reveals itself today as a speeding freight train of sound and rhythm. Screaming peaks and balanced grooves find their way out of the chaos of a jam while samples ripped from the likes of Madonna, Lil Nas X and many more ring out and grab the unsuspecting audience by surprise, adding to the multicolored blend of sound filling a room and often standing out as comedic elements of the show. </p><br><p>We talk with Patrick about our upcoming adventure at Camp Suds, the recent loss of Cycles' original bassist and what that has meant for the band, if he is able to listen to his own music without picking it apart, the difficulties presented with coming up in a town with a thriving music scene, some recent opinions on the last Dead &amp; Company shows, the influence of the Grateful Dead on Cycles, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>For tour info, news, merch, and more head over to: <a href="https://www.cyclestheband.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cyclestheband.com</a> and check out the latest release '<em>Terraform' </em>out everywhere music streams.</p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Shop Tour Bus</strong></a><strong> </strong>Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sunset Lake CBD</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>LAMP</em></strong></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/nosimpleroad">http://supporter.acast.com/nosimpleroad</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>For 20 years Northwest String Summit has been a mainstay in the festival scene of the Pacific Northwest. Yonder Mountain String Band started the festival all those years ago and saw fit to move it here to Horning's Hideout. In the years that followed many now famous (and infamous) bluegrass acts cut their teeth at this festival and year after year fans came back for more creating a tight knit community.</p><br><p>This week on No Simple Road we continue our journey at Northwest String Summit 2022 with part 2 of this 2 part series. This being the last year of the festival we wanted to focus less on the bands and more on the community, the stories, the people that have worked hard to create the scene so many of us enjoy. It's our hope that as you listen to this week's episode you'll feel all the feelings along with us as we embark on this bittersweet 4 day run.</p><br><p>We start this episode with Yonder Mountain String Band absolutely killing it on stage the last night of the festival followed with commentary, stories, and an interview with the incredible band '<a href="https://nevercomedownband.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Never Come Down</a>'. Then, we were lucky enough to catch up with the one and only 'Artist Whisperer' Annabel Lukins for a little conversation. Finally, we take it all home with more stories from the community and the final tear-filled song played on the Main Stage on Sunday night by Yonder.</p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 25% off</strong> <a href="https://www.electricfishlights.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Electric Fish Lights</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><p><strong>FOR 10% off your first month of Better Help </strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/get-started/?go=true&amp;transaction_id=1029954caa9dc061b1a9081b661d5b&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=281&amp;utm_medium=Desktop&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_term=nosimpleroad&amp;not_found=1&amp;gor=start" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>ANDREW HENDRYX</em></strong></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

<p>We've got something special for you this week with Rome Yamilov and Henry J. Kaiser as our guests on No Simple Road. Their<strong> </strong>new album,&nbsp;<em>The Lenoir Investigation</em>, may have started as a tribute to Chicago blues great&nbsp;J.B. Lenoir, but the two guitarist’s worldly influences carry the 11 tracks around the globe. The album is out now via&nbsp;<a href="http://littlevillagefoundation.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Little Village</strong></a>.</p><br><p>Henry Kaiser’s work in psychedelic guitar playing has few parallels, as the former&nbsp;<a href="https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/psychedelic-guitar-circus/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Psychedelic Guitar Circus</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>ringleader has played on over 300 albums and even used the South Pole—the pole mounted on Earth’s south geographic pole—as a slide to play Antarctic blues. Enter Rome Yamilov, the Russian-born guitarist who came to Little Village by way of harp player&nbsp;<strong>Aki Kumar&nbsp;</strong>through the San Jose blues scene.</p><br><p>There's so much packed into this one! We start with a conversation with Rome about his humble beginnings, playing with Aki Kumar, and how he ended up working on this amazing project. Then, we jump into a conversation with Henry that will for sure leave you speechless. Let's just say, 45 minutes talking about how the song Dark Star is alive.

The Jacksonville-born and Nashville-based artist conveys his story with play-by-play urgency and intense attention to detail over authentic country spiked with rock spirit.</p><br><p>You’ll get to know him not only as a songwriter, but also as a dad, a husband, a surfer, and a believer. After racking up millions of streams independently and canvasing the country with the likes of Muscadine Bloodline and Kip Moore, this approach defines a series of 2021 singles and his forthcoming full-length debut album for Triple Tigers.</p><br><p>Jordan is one-of-a-kind and the connection happened immediately in this conversation as we get into to topics like touring in a $300 camper, how the loss of his Father has shaped his life and music, how being an artist has him counting his blessings, the way independent music fans take care of their artists, how he's bringing faith into being a parent, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>For more Jordan Fletcher head over to: <a href="https://www.jordanfletcherofficial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.jordanfletcherofficial.com</a></p><br><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE: new single 'Death And Taxes' </strong></p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 25% off</strong> <a href="https://www.electricfishlights.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Electric Fish Lights</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><p><strong>FOR 10% off your first month of Better Help </strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/get-started/?go=true&amp;transaction_id=1029954caa9dc061b1a9081b661d5b&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=281&amp;utm_medium=Desktop&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_term=nosimpleroad&amp;not_found=1&amp;gor=start" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.spunjmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>SPUNJ</em></strong></a><strong><em> &amp; </em></strong><a href="http://www.andrewhendryx.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>ANDREW HENDRYX</em></strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

Dani Battat of Eggy is our guest on No Simple Road this week. We talk about riding the wave of the upswing, the duality of constant adrenaline and the ability to sleep on a dime, realizing you are coming of age, how the name 'Eggy' came to be, what it's like for the band to be all living together, how he navigated the decision to go all-in with the band, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>Eggy is the group that brings balance to your musical diet. The band offers timeless songwriting both lyrically and in composition creating works worthy of repeated consumption. Drawing influences from classics like Bruce Hornsby, CSNY, Herbie Hancock, &amp; the like; Eggy is the fresh but familiar music you’ve been craving. Their debut album “Watercolor Days” (released March 2019) reflects the band’s fine palate &amp; musical breadth.</p><br><p>Michael Goodman (bass/vocals), Jake Brownstein (guitar/vocals), Dani Battat (keys/vocals) and Alex Bailey (drums/vocals) work in tandem, sending sizzling musical ideas across the stage from years of sharpening their craft together.

<p>We're extremely excited this week to have Pappy Biondo of Cabinet as our guest on No Simple Road! We catch up with Pappy and get right down to business talking about the origins of the band, why their sound has morphed and changed over the years, how finding a banjo under a bed can change your life, the way Pappy views Cabinet as a band and what it does, the way that the members of the band guide and support each other through the experience of being a band, and a whole lot more!</p><br><p>Cabinet wears their influences like badges, honoring the canon of roots, rock, reggae, psychedelia, blues, bluegrass, country, and folk, weaving these sounds into a patchwork Americana quilt. But this music isn’t romanticizing or rehashing the past. Cabinet makes it mark on today. Their music takes the long way home, treating its listeners like passengers on a ride through scenic back roads. Members Pappy Biondo (banjo, vocals), J.P. Biondo (mandolin, vocals), Mickey Coviello (acoustic guitar, vocals), Dylan Skursky (electric bass, double bass), Todd Kopec (fiddle, vocals) and Jami Novak (drums, percussion) all live and love music, and aren’t afraid to show it.</p><br><p>Make sure to check out Cabinet's new release 'The Sugarshack Sessions' available everywhere you get music and head over to <a href="https://www.cabinetmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cabinetmusic.com</a> for tour info, merch, and more!</p><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Silver Sun' off "The Sugarshack Sessions"</strong></p><br><p><strong>Remember to hang out after the interview with Pappy to catch up with the No Simple Road Crew!</strong></p><br><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By </strong><a href="https://www.escapermusic.com/the-band" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ESCAPER</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://sunsetlakecbd.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunset Lake CBD</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR20 </strong></p><p><strong>For 25% off</strong> <a href="https://www.electricfishlights.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Electric Fish Lights</a> PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><p><strong>FOR 10% off your first month of Better Help </strong><a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/get-started/?go=true&amp;transaction_id=1029954caa9dc061b1a9081b661d5b&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=281&amp;utm_medium=Desktop&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_term=nosimpleroad&amp;not_found=1&amp;gor=start" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a></p><p><strong>For 20% off </strong><a href="https://www.gradyscoldbrew.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grady's Cold Brew</strong></a><strong> </strong>PROMO CODE: <strong>NSR</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>OTHER MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.circlesaroundthesun.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN</em></strong></a></p><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

<p>We're so stoked to have Mountain Head as our guests on No Simple Road this week! Mountain Head begins with the Hannah Brothers, and a mountain. The mysterious duo wandered through the wasteland and arrived at a mountain, which they scaled. At the top, they discovered a shaman who changed the brothers' lives and way of thinking forever. Their sound blends psych-rock, alt-rock, and elements of electro-pop and jangle pop into unique and potent sonic concoctions. </p><br><p>We sit down with Kyle &amp; Ben and get into their visit with a Shaman, how psychedelics changed their music forever, how being brothers affects their process, what prompted them to learn tabla and sitar, how yoga and meditation fit into their lives, why they wear grills, the meaning of the black hat, and a whole bunch more!</p><p><strong>SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW: 'Dedicated' off the "Backseat" EP</strong></p><br><p><strong>For tour info, merch, news, music &amp; more head over to: </strong><a href="https://www.mountainheadmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.mountainheadmusic.com</strong></a></p><br><p>Remember to hang out after the conversation with Mountain Head to hear our Phish NYC recap and catch up with the NSR crew!</p><br><p><strong>NEW!!!
