A while back I linked up with singer songwriter Joe Robinson to talk about his music JJR Band. Recently he reached out to tell me about some work he'd been doing in his new recording studio and a talented young songwriter he was recording named Damon. I stopped in to visit Joe at his studio to meet up with Damon and his bandmate Ness Holiday. We had some fun talking about how these three all meet, their individual music and some of the new music they are collaborating to make and we get a sneak peek at Damon's debut EP. We also busted out a few guitars and did some live acoustic versions of some new songs these guys are working on! On this episode you'll hear:
