I‘m Don. I am a huge music dork and I love talking to and about musicians and bands. Since 2009, I have had the honor of talking to some of my all-time favorite artists. I cover a lot of genres because, well, I love all kinds of music. Classic Metal, Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Classic Rock, Power Pop, Singer/songwriter, Jazz, and anything else that has made it‘s way into my life. My goal is to deliver interviews in a way that is not just entertaining for the listener but for the artist as well. I try to set a relaxed, ”living room” type of vibe and have a conversation and talk about anything. I like to let the artist steer the ship and that is always a treat for me and I find myself learning new things. I hope you will enjoy my podcast!

Episode 119: Jacob Hellenrud (Children of the Sun, Nephila)
In 2019, I stumbled upon a young band out of Sweden called Children of the Sun. Their debut album Flowers knocked me out with it's flower power Jesus Christ Superstar like qualities. It was a beautiful album and I was a fan immediately. Since then, Children of the Sun has grown personally and creatively. They have performed countless live shows all over Europe and they continue to shoot for the moon.
I have been friends with guitarist/songwriter Jacob Hellenrud for some time now and I FINALLY convinced him to be on the podcast after all these years. Speaking English isn't his favorite thing to do but he made it his favorite thing for an hour or so just to talk to me. We talked about the weird way Americans measure things, the growth of the band, his solo material, and the band's new album Leaving Ground, Greet the End.
