Music Notes with Colin Alvarez

12/27/2024

🎸 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨
This week on Music Notes with Colin Alvarez, our fearless host sits down with the third leg of the rock 'n roll tripod that is CAB—none other than bassist to the stars, Sam Hug! 🤘
The duo welcomes their new AI overlords (yes, we’re talking ChatGPT) to help them figure out the secret sauce to being a great bandmate. Spoiler: It’s definitely not just about tuning your bass... 🙄
Tune in for laughs, tears (maybe?), and a whole lot of confusion as Colin’s dumb laptop has a meltdown mid-recording and derails the show with some wild input switches. 🤦‍♂️
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and remember, if you’re not confused, you’re doing it wrong. 🎄🎧 Listen NOW! ⬇️

This week on the Music Notes Podcast, we’re flipping the script and diving headfirst into the fabulous world of “Top Ten” lists! Join Colin A. as he teams up with the legendary Colin "Deuce" Brown, a drummer so talented he could probably make a sandwich sound like a symphony! They’ll be dissecting Rolling Stone's list of the top 20 drummers of all time—because who doesn’t love a good debate over who beats the drum the best?! Buckle up for some epic banter and let’s find out if Deucey agrees with Colin A. or if it’s time for a drumroll of disagreement! Tune in and prepare for a wild ride through the rhythm and chaos of musical opinions!

Episode 5 Is Live! This week Colin sits down with Hanover, PA's own Jake Groft! This up and coming country star sits down to discuss the writing process, capturing that classic 90's country sound, and is the first in studio musical guest, singing two songs live in studio!

*editors note*: apologies to Jake, something funky happened with his audio from the 5 minute mark, to about the 56 minute mark. The conversation was too good to edit that much out, so we did our best to salvage it. Thankfully the musical performance wasnt effected, but we'll definitely have Jake back to do another interview without the technical difficulties.

Episode 4 is live! Today i decided to talk to myself for a bit. I had some topics I wanted to cover and didn't necessarily want to subject a poor guest to them. Follow me as I ramble about finding happiness as a musician, and fulfillment playing "someone else's music".
