  • Birds in the Sky - Brandon Barry
    Jan 9 2025

    - Episode 3 -

    Brandon Barry is a songwriter, musician and actor from Buffalo, NY.

    Brandon fronted the indie rock band The Albrights from 2009-2015, writing many of their hits including "Hard Times", "Washing Town", "Over and Over", and "Goodbye, Adeline".

    We discuss Brandon's writing process, how he started down a life-long journey into the arts, and his songwriting process.

    Even though I've known Brandon almost 20 years and spent much of that time as his bandmate, I still learned a few things from our discussion.

    Enjoy!

    - Episode 2 -

    Paul Hogan is a US Navy Veteran, writer, musician and retired Non-Profit administrator.

    Paul served the US Navy honorably during the Vietnam war era. However, his participation in conflict was actually centered around the 1973 Israel-Palestine War. Paul has a unique lens on service, and how far the treatment of mental health issues for our service men and woman has come.

    Join me with my discussion with Paul, and his perspective on the growth of the metal health narratives in America.
