  • Charlie Dolan of Tauk - The Notes of Life

    Charlie Dolan of Tauk - The Notes of Life
    Nov 15 2024
    Join us for this week as we sit down with Charlie Dolan, the talented bassist from the band Tauk, to explore the evolution and influences that have shaped their music journey. Charlie shares insights into the band's origins, revealing how they've been playing together since middle school and made the transition from vocal performances to a primarily instrumental focus in 2012. We reminisce about their early days, from their first gig at a bar mitzvah to the pivotal role that jazz and classical music studies played in crafting their unique sound. We touch on the challenges and triumphs of pursuing a music career while balancing personal relationships and explore the serendipitous friendships formed in a small private school setting that laid the groundwork for a successful music career. Charlie and the band have managed to sustain long-term relationships while juggling the demands of life on the road and we discuss how they've learned to navigate the complexities of touring, marriage, and band dynamics, sharing a unique practice of avoiding business discussions before breakfast to maintain harmony within the group. As the music industry continues to evolve, artists face the challenge of adapting to new technologies and trends. Our conversation with Charlie provides a candid look at these shifts, including the impact of social media on music promotion and the struggle to balance authentic expression with online trends. We also explore the joys and challenges of parenthood, the impact of the pan dem!k, and the importance of maintaining meaningful connections with loved ones. Whether it's through serendipitous encounters at music festivals or celebrating personal milestones, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of the passion and perseverance required to thrive in the music industry.

  • Sean Thompson's Weird Ears - Strings & Serendipity

    Sean Thompson's Weird Ears - Strings & Serendipity
    Nov 8 2024
    Nashville's own guitar virtuoso Sean Thompson shares his eclectic musical odyssey with us as he transcends genres and geographies to become the first non-Californian talent signed to Curation Records. From thrash metal beginnings to his current blend of sounds inspired by the likes of Beachwoods and the California vibe, Sean reveals how the isolation of 2020 catalyzed his journey into songwriting. This episode uncovers his creative process and the serendipitous companionship of his furry friends that kept his spirits high during lockdown's quieter days. With a nod to authenticity and personal storytelling in music, Sean takes us through his roots and the pivotal moments that shaped his artistry. We reminisce about family influences, his early fascination with a gifted guitar, and his teenage years spent in thrall to Metallica. As Sean's musical style evolved, so did his appreciation for diverse genres, thanks to a high school crush who introduced him to Bob Dylan and the world of jazz guitar. These experiences paved the way for an organic fusion of Americana and jazz that defines his unique sound today. Navigating the ever-vibrant Nashville music scene, Sean reflects on the joys and challenges of performing live, from intimate art gallery shows to joint tours with bands like Dan Horn. We explore the strategic intricacies of releasing his upcoming album "Head in the Sand" and the excitement surrounding its singles. Album set to release February of 2025.

    Nov 4 2024
    Catch up with the No Simple Road crew as they discuss everything from the music scene, family life, show recaps & reviews, spirituality, psychedelics, and everything in-between! This week on the No Simple Road Weekly Rewind we are talking all about CULTS! Well, sort of. We talk about our amazing Breath Work Ceremony this past weekend which leads in to a pretty heavy discussion around coming to grips with the PTSD and triggers we've gathered from trusting different spiritual practitioners to have our best interest in mind. Mel and Aaron share some of their experiences from their time in Kundalini Yoga and The O.T.O. and talk a bit about how those experiences have shaped their perspectives moving forward after leaving those organizations and Apple shares his perspective as a person who has never been a 'joiner'. -FREE SHIPPING from Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroad INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - Young & Sick MUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF: CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF: CHILLDREN OF INDIGO No Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.
