In this episode, we sit down with the legendary Chuck Ragan, frontman of Hot Water Music, for a conversation about his journey through music and life.
Chuck shares stories that define his remarkable career, from growing up with unique influences—like a ventriloquist mom and Cajun grandparents—to shaping the raw energy of punk rock.
We explore the 30-year milestone of Hot Water Music, candid reflections on band breakups, and the importance of friendship and communication in keeping the fire alive.
Chuck also opens up about his solo album, Love and Lore, and the perseverance it took to bring it to life.
Beyond the music, Chuck shares heartfelt insights into balancing family, touring, and building Christmas traditions with his family.
Whether you're a die-hard fan or discovering Chuck for the first time, this episode is packed with passion, resilience, and the spirit of a true artist.
