The lovely people who left us shout-outs are Jon Carroll, Matt Carlson, Nick Martino, and Jack Cornell, all of them dear friends of the pod and members of our Multiple Guest Club.
We were among the first to hear Jon’s new LP, Can’t Afford Not To. Jon is also a touring band member with Mary Chapin Carpenter this summer and fall. Purchase tickets here!
Matty continues to publish daily on his incredible multimedia project, What Am I Making. He also has big plans for this fall: he and fellow Stick Around Jeffery Gower are embarking on a tour from Michigan to the Keys and back! Later, he and The Wild Honey Collective will be recording a new record in front of a live audience.
Nick asked us to promote The Party Band on Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, and Bandcamp.
Jack, along with his band Terry Anderson & The Olympic Ass-Kickin Team, released Got to Be Strong in 2024. He is currently working with Terry Anderson on a new album!
