My special guest this week is musician and drummer, Michael Dinn! We talk about his 2025 RPM Challenge submissions, Smoke Spectre and Grog Bit and reflect on his interesting career. From playing drums with Baytown, Cartridge Family, and the Daisy Cutters to opening up for Canadian Rock juggernauts in The Northern Pikes and the Trews, we cover all that and more!
