Haakon Nelson and I took a road trip down to Decorah, IA in the middle of a snowstorm to visit Andy Meyer. After a night on the town, we got to talking, so I recorded it.
I've known Andy since college, but we've become quite close over the last decade. Haakon and I became friends while we were both playing in a band that was preparing for a brief West Coast tour (https://www.cataldomusic.com/). I introduced Andy and Haakon while they were both living in Seattle, and they became fast friends.
The episode ends with a yet-unreleased song titled Statues that I wrote after reflecting on the White Supremacist / Neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, VA in 2017.
