Ari Joshua - Orbiting The Black Hole
<p>We are so excited to have Ari Joshua as our guest on No Simple Road This week! For years, shamanistic guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has been one of those “musician’s musicians” who those “in the know” rave about but remains under the radar to the public. Struggles with substance abuse; a severe car accident; Ari’s commitment to music education with the successful school he founded, The Music Factory; and the daunting task of mixing&nbsp;have kept him in something of a creative holding pattern.</p><br><p>Ari is finally opening his vault and sharing a catalog of recordings that feature his masterful musicianship alongside such revered instrumentalists as four-time Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, and members of the Trey Anastasio Band.&nbsp;&nbsp;These tracks will be issued in various configurations, and they document a spiritual journey of a prodigious talent all-consumed by his passion for music.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>We talk with Ari about:</p><ul><li>Growing up on the east coast and receiving a scholarship to music school.</li><li>His struggles and triumphs in running his own music school, The Music Factory.</li><li>Having Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam as a mentor.</li><li>Buying the building for The Music Factory with the help of local investors.</li><li>His early connection to frequency and sound.</li><li>Overcoming his fear of sharing his art.</li><li>What it means to find our own personal 'Black Hole' and what we do with it when we find it.</li><li>Having the guts to just 'go for it' when you feel something move you.</li><li>How the Grunge Era and the Seattle music scene shaped his life and sound.</li><li>Finding focus when you have a ton of things on your plate.</li><li>Ways to serve your own creative abilities.</li></ul><p>... and so much more!</p><br><p><strong>SONG AT THE START FO THE INTERVIEW: '<em>Lest's Do It Right Now' </em></strong>(feat.

<p>We're stoked this week to have Luke Black and Drury Anderson of The Mountain Grass Unit as our guests on No Simple Road! The Mountain Grass Unit consists of three Birmingham pickers, Drury Anderson (mandolin and vocals), Luke Black (acoustic guitar and banjo), and Sam Wilson (upright bass). With the addition of Luke Black and Sam Wilson on harmonies, The Mountain Grass Unit has established the firm foundation to take on not only the vocal harmonies of traditional bluegrass tunes, but also the freedom to adapt songs from various genres to an all-acoustic format.&nbsp;Aside from their original songs, all three are equally comfortable restyling a Tony Rice number, a classic Grateful Dead tune, or covering contemporary acoustic masters like Billy Strings. The youthful exuberance and energy they bring to the stage is always remarkable.&nbsp;</p><br><p>We talk with the guys about:</p><ul><li>Their experience attending Berklee College Of Music.</li><li>How they have explored and developed their vocal chops.</li><li>The was they got Sam to join the band and play the upright bass.</li><li>How rap rhythms influence their sound.</li><li>If they are feeling the wave of momentum behind them and how it is affecting their world.</li><li>How they came to learn about Jamgrass and the way the community has taken them in.</li><li>Where they see themselves fitting into the wider tapestry of the musical community,</li><li>How they deal with playing for rowdy crowds.</li><li>Some of the kindness and love they've found on the road.</li></ul><p>... and much, much more!</p><br><p>Head over to <a href="https://mountaingrassunit.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mountaingrassunit.wordpress.com</a> to learn more!</p><br><p><strong>INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - WILL HANZA OF ESCAPER</strong></p><br><p><strong>-Grab your tickets now for Skull &amp; Roses Festival April 19th - 23rd at the hallowed grounds of the Ventura County Raceway! </strong></p><p><a href="https://skullandroses.com/box-office/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.skullandroses.com</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><br><p><strong>-Make Sure to visit our friends at </strong><a href="https://www.portlandwings.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fire On The Mountain</strong></a><strong> for some amazing food at one of the 3 location in the Portland area or one of the 2 location in the Denver area!</strong></p><br><p><strong>-CHECK OUT THE NSR EXCLUSIVE BETA PREVIEW OF </strong><a href="https://venuellama.com/nsr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.venuellama.com</strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS 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>.
