The night I took a drive out to Washington, MO to talk with the guys of Diamond Back Kings. I first saw these guys play live at Pop's for a Road To Pointfest Show and they blew me away.

Last Wednesday, the night before Thanksgiving, I went out to Halo Bar to sit with Phil Wright before his gig with The Scandaleros. So obviously recording this episode live in the Halo Bar on the biggest party night of the year there's some background noise, but I felt it was still listenable. Guest appearance from Carson Mann of towards the end of the episode.

We talked about his event Phillip-A-Looza, an ALS Benefit, coming up December 5th at Old Rock House. This is the 10th Anniversary of the event. This year Phil is bringing along a bunch of friends of the show like Funky Butt Brass Band, Falling Fences, Big Mike Aguire & the Blu City Allstars. Also appearing will be Jake's Leg, Mom's Kitchen, Vitamen A, Oak, Steel & Lightning, Grass Fed Mule, and Phil will be performing with his band Thunder Biscuit Orchestra. This is a stacked lineup and it benefits a great cause.

Find out more about the event on the Facebook page. Also LIKE Phil's bands Thunder Biscuit Orchestra & The Scandaleros.
