Sean Thompson's Weird Ears

Greetings, Dead Freaks! My guest this episode is Nashville, based guitarist Sean Thompson. We talk bout his background in Nashville, his local scene, and his solo project, Sean Thompson's Weird Ears. Naturally, we get into some Good Ole Grateful Dead along the way.

Sean's next album, "Head In The Sand" comes out on February 7. It's a groovy jammer with a nice array of sounds and you can preorder it now on digital or LP at the Sean Thompsons Weird Ears Bandcamp. 

The previous, self-titled record is still available on LP & CD from Curation Records on their Bandcamp. I got mine.

Sean named a few friends who have great projects out there you might want to check out. Here's just a couple of them:
Spencer Collum's Coin Collection
Rich Ruth

My own album, "As We Know It" came out on September 17 on CD and digital DL via my bandcamp page JMHart.Bandcamp.com as well as on the various streaming services. I do hope you'll check it out, take it in, and enjoy it.

Remembering Phil Lesh

With a blend of sadness for loss and joy for the music and memories that we will always cherish, we pay tribute to Phil Lesh. A number of friends sent in their own remembrances and musings on the man and what he meant to them. I have included them along with a substantial dose of music for an epic episode, befitting this beast of a bass player and singular musician.
