                <description><![CDATA[<p>This week on Dropped Among This Crowd, Sean Martin opens up about the winding, unbelievable road that brought him to music — from singing in choir at four years old, picking up guitar and songwriting at twelve, recording his first album at just fifteen, and finding himself in the Airborne Infantry, looking to be a career Special Forces soldier at 18.</p><p>Sean shares the cinematic chain of events that led to his sudden exit from the military, the trauma he carried home, and the unexpected kindness of strangers that helped restore his faith in humanity while trying to reintegrate into everyday life. He also reflects on being told he wasn’t good enough to attend the music school he dreamed of in Minneapolis — and how that rejection ultimately pushed him toward a much bigger journey.</p><p>From arriving in Los Angeles with “Welcome to the Jungle” playing on the radio as he hit Sunset Boulevard, to spending nine years immersed in the full LA music experience while attending the Musicians Institute, Sean talks about becoming a lifelong student of life, music, and healing.</p><p>The conversation also dives deeply into mental health, PTSD, therapy, and Sean’s evolving relationship with cannabis as a tool for healing. He opens up about the mindset that carried him through some of the darkest chapters of his life: if he survived the trauma once, he could survive healing from it too.</p><p>Sean also discusses the formation of his band, The Quarantined, working alongside legendary Death Row Records engineer G-One Archie, navigating the harsh realities of the music business, and rebuilding after losing his band, his record, and his marriage. From there, the road eventually led him to Nashville, an open mic tour across the United States, unforgettable fan interactions, and the rebirth of The Quarantined.</p><p>We also talk about favourite and least favourite gigs, what the band has coming up next, and what success truly means to him now after everything he’s lived through.</p><p><br></p><p>This week&#39;s guest: The Quarantined</p><p>[https://thequarantined.bandcamp.com](https://thequarantined.bandcamp.com)</p><p>[https://www.instagram.com/thequarantined/](https://www.instagram.com/thequarantined/)</p><p>[https://www.thequarantined.com/](https://www.thequarantined.com/)</p><p>[https://www.youtube.com/@thequarantined](https://www.youtube.com/@thequarantined)</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRLSnfHDU7klmLlGOoPx_0A</p><p><br></p><p>Follow DATC Media:</p><p><a href="https://datcmediacompany.com/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://datcmediacompany.com</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/datcmedia" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/datcmedia</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/datcmediacompany/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/datcmediacompany/</strong></a></p><p>Follow Dropped Among This Crowd Podcast:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/</strong></a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:droppedamongthiscrowdpod@gmail.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>droppedamongthiscrowdpod@gmail.com</strong></a></p><p>Book a conversation on &#34;Dropped among this Crowd&#34;: <a href="https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast</strong></a></p><p>Follow Sara J:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sara.till41/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/sara.till41/</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarajachimiak/" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/sarajachimiak/</strong></a></p><p>Donate to DATC Media Company: <a href="https://datcmediacompany.com/support" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://datcmediacompany.com/support</strong></a></p><p>Join the community on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift</strong></a></p><p>Want to be a guest on the show? <a href="https://datcmediacompany.com/contact-%26-collab-with-us/ola/services/something-on-guest-spot" rel="nofollow"><strong>https://datcmediacompany.com/contact-%26-collab-with-us/ola/services/something-on-guest-spot</strong></a></p>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Sara J. sits down with Sierra Fournier for a conversation about her recently released second solo effort, <em>The Missloua Flood</em>—an album born out of one of the darkest periods of her life.</p><p>They dig into what it’s felt like to finally have the record out in the world and the early feedback and reflections that have come in since its release.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Sara J. sits down with Sierra Fournier for a conversation about her recently released second solo effort, &lt;em&gt;The Missloua Flood&lt;/em&gt;—an album born out of one of the darkest periods of her life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They dig into what it’s felt like to finally have the record out in the world and the early feedback and reflections that have come in since its release. Sierra takes us behind the title—how &lt;em&gt;The Missloua Flood&lt;/em&gt; came to be, and the meaning it’s taken on over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conversation explores the album’s cohesiveness and intentional flow, and how her background as a radio DJ subtly shaped the way she thinks about sequencing and storytelling. They also talk about the idea that sometimes putting “2 before 1” just works—and what that says about instinct versus convention in the creative process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sierra reflects on the disappearing world of album artwork and why the visual side of music still matters deeply. They revisit some of those unforgettable album covers that have become permanently etched into our collective memory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She also shares what it was like working with her Satellite Pilot bandmate on the project, and how these songs are evolving in a live setting with a new band—taking on a different energy and life on stage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s a moment focused on the track that best represents her growth since her first solo release, and a glimpse into what might be coming next creatively—and even geographically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Songs heard in this episode:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Machines&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;em&gt;Yard Artist&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where you can find this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/tpraforever/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/tpraforever/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Missoula Floods:&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Missoula Floods&lt;/em&gt; from Sierra Fournier is out now everywhere you stream music &amp;amp; on Band Camp!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read a review - &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/posts/album-review-153450484&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/posts/album-review-153450484&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow DATC Media:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/datcmedia&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.facebook.com/datcmedia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/datcmediacompany/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.instagram.com/datcmediacompany/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Dropped Among This Crowd Podcast:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: &lt;a href=&#34;mailto:droppedamongthiscrowdpod@gmail.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;droppedamongthiscrowdpod@gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Book a conversation on &amp;#34;Dropped among this Crowd&amp;#34;: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow Sara J:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/sara.till41/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.facebook.com/sara.till41/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/sarajachimiak/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.instagram.com/sarajachimiak/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the community on Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact-%26-collab-with-us/ola/services/something-on-guest-spot&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact-%26-collab-with-us/ola/services/something-on-guest-spot&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

The big story this week: the release of “Generation” from Gord Downie, The Sadies, and the Conquering Sun – Live at 6 O’Clock, arriving February 27. Sara breaks down what to expect from the live album, why the Discovering Downie podcast is an essential companion listening, and how this project captures Gord at his electrifying best.
She also covers:
The latest from The Hip on Shuffle (including her recent appearance on the “Fire in the Hole” panel and a killer unreleased 1997 live cut from Rock am Ring)
New content from School of Hip
A deep dive recommendation into Phantom Acoustics
Highlights from Gord Downie birthday celebrations in Buffalo, including standout performances by The Strictly Hip
A special audio clip from Craig (Discovering Downie / Gift Shop) recorded at a Gord birthday tribute show
Plus, in the DATC Media world, Sara shares details from the latest episode of Dropped Among This Crowd, featuring Brady Callan of Cancon_eh. They talk Canadian music culture, Finger Eleven, Nickelback’s love-to-hate legacy, Richard Beland’s photography, desert island albums, music books, vinyl collecting, and the formative power of live music.
Whether you’re here for The Hip, Gord’s solo work, or the broader Canadian music community, this episode is packed with news, recommendations, and celebration.

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, fresh off celebrating two years of creating digital content for his page Cancon_eh, Sudbury, Ontario native Brady Callan sits down with host Sara J to talk about the inspiration behind creating a page dedicated to highlighting and celebrating iconic Canadian music—and Canadian culture more broadly.

Brady shares the artists and bands he’s had the pleasure of sitting down with, including an intimate conversation with Finger Eleven about touring with Ozzy Osbourne, recorded just weeks after Ozzy’s passing. He also reveals who’s still on his bucket list to interview.

Sara reflects on growing up with easy access to Canadian content from Buffalo, NY, seeing bands for free in the city, the advantages of living in a border town, and the alternative music day festivals of the early 2000s.

Brady dives into the Cancon playlist he’s built on Spotify (link in show notes), his creative plans for 2026, the history behind the Cancon\_eh name, and a breakdown of Canadian Content (CanCon) guidelines.

The two reminisce about Richard Beland’s Toronto gallery event last October and share their favourite photos from his incredible collection.

Brady walks us through his lifelong love of music—what shaped him, the bands that built his musical foundation, the first music he ever bought, his most prized albums, his elusive “white whale” vinyl, and other standout pieces from his collection. He relives his iconic first concert and other unforgettable live music moments, speaks on the importance of supporting local musicians and venues, and shares some deep Canadian music history surrounding The Townhouse Tavern.

And we talk about Nickelback - how their music left an imprint on his memory those cold early mornings on the way to hockey practice, and a distinctly Canadian perspective on the love-to-hate them.

Brady also reveals his desert island albums, favourite music books (plus a recommendation for Sara), what music he’s currently “married to,” playing drums, and the Freaks and Geeks scene that perfectly sums up his childhood—jamming in the basement, collecting drums, and wanting to learn any instrument he could get his hands on… including an accordion from Germany dating back to the mid-1930s, gifted to him on Christmas morning when he was 18.</itunes:subtitle>

He relives his iconic first concert and other unforgettable live music moments, speaks on the importance of supporting local musicians and venues, and shares some deep Canadian music history surrounding The Townhouse Tavern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we talk about Nickelback - how their music left an imprint on his memory those cold early mornings on the way to hockey practice, and a distinctly Canadian perspective on the love-to-hate them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brady also reveals his desert island albums, favourite music books (plus a recommendation for Sara), what music he’s currently “married to,” playing drums, and the Freaks and Geeks scene that perfectly sums up his childhood—jamming in the basement, collecting drums, and wanting to learn any instrument he could get his hands on… including an accordion from Germany dating back to the mid-1930s, gifted to him on Christmas morning when he was 18.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/cancon_eh/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/cancon_eh/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/share/14UyoATZkcz/?mibextid=wwXIfr&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/share/14UyoATZkcz/?mibextid=wwXIfr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YouTube: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/@Cancon_eh&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@Cancon_eh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The CanCon Playlist: &lt;a href=&#34;https://bit.ly/4r92PPO&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://bit.ly/4r92PPO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the community on Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

                <itunes:subtitle>Some bands don’t just play a venue — they belong to it.

In this episode of Dropped Among This Crowd, host Sara J. explores one of the most sacred relationships in rock history: The Allman Brothers Band and the Beacon Theatre. What began as a short run of shows in 1989 evolved into a decades-long tradition that transformed March in New York City into something legendary.

Inspired by the book One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band by Alan Paul, this episode dives into how the Beacon became more than a stage — it became a home, a ritual, and a gathering place for fans from around the world.

This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a story about what happens when a band and a room truly listen to each other.

🔍 In This Episode
Why the Allman Brothers’ relationship with the Beacon Theatre was unlike any other
How the band’s 1989 resurgence sparked a New York tradition
The origins of “March Madness” at the Beacon
What made each Beacon show a singular, unrepeatable experience
Legendary surprise guest appearances and why they mattered
The role of space, acoustics, and energy in live music
How Duane Allman’s spirit remained central to the band long after his passing
The emotional weight of the band’s final Beacon shows in October 2014

🎶 Key Moments &amp; Highlights
The Beacon Theatre’s opening in 1929 and its rise as an iconic venue
The Allman Brothers’ record-setting 238 shows at the Beacon (1989–2014)
Why multi-night runs became essential to the band’s identity
Live recordings captured at the Beacon, including:
An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: First Set (1992)
Play All Night: Live at the Beacon Theatre (1992)
Peakin’ at the Beacon (2000)
Live at the Beacon Theatre (2003)
A reading from One Way Out detailing how the Beacon run unexpectedly became an institution

💭 Final Thoughts
For fans, the Beacon shows weren’t concerts — they were annual pilgrimages, family reunions, and shared moments that live on long after the last note faded. The Allman Brothers didn’t just perform at the Beacon Theatre — they helped turn it into sacred ground in live music history.

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, host Sara J is continuing a listener-favorite format with another deep dive into unforgettable moments in music history—this time spanning January 16–22.

From the opening of the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to Eric Clapton’s iconic MTV Unplugged session, the birth of Mötley Crüe, and the formation of Bad Company, this episode explores a week packed with defining rock moments. We also revisit infamous and unforgettable events like Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-biting incident, Neil Young’s solo debut, Buddy Holly’s final apartment recordings, and the Beach Boys beginning work on “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.”

Plus, we celebrate music birthdays from legends like Sade, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Paul Stanley, Questlove, Steve Perry, and more—while also remembering Glenn Frey and David Crosby.

Part rock history, part cosmic coincidence, and part personal reflection (including a birthday shout-out close to home)

                <itunes:subtitle>&#34;No one&#39;s gonna die, it&#39;s just art&#34;

This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th.

They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it’s like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more.

The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that’s blossomed in Wichita, Kansas.

From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group.

Then, the band gives a look at what’s coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver’s beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.”

A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver &amp; Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there’s truly room for everyone. Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you’re playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.”
Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here! 
We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop.
Then it’s all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine. Alex walks us through the current lineup, the family inspiration behind the band’s name, what they’re working on now, and so much more.</itunes:subtitle>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver &amp;amp; Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there’s truly room for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you’re playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then it’s all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine. Alex walks us through the current lineup, the family inspiration behind the band’s name, what they’re working on now, and so much more!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilot&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;YouTube: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilot&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://linktr.ee/satellitepilot&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://linktr.ee/satellitepilot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Satellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&amp;utm_content=join_link&amp;utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copyLink&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;amp;utm_source=copyLink&amp;amp;utm_campaign=postshare_creator&amp;amp;utm_content=join_link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

We dive into everything from my earliest musical roots to the work I do today, including:

* My mother’s work in the music industry, and how the two of them shaped the foundation for everything I do now
* The big question: Is rock ’n’ roll making a comeback?
* The artists who are bridging generations with their sound
* The festival scene, live music, and the community that grows around it
* How my passion for traveling to shows evolved — from Dave Matthews Band sparking the fire to moe. fanning the flames
* That electric, chemical reaction that happens at live shows and how it fuels my creativity
* Why I’d love to see the return of moe.down
* Cutting my teeth in the jam music scene and the beginnings of Dropped Among This Crowd Podcast and DATC Media
* My relationship and work with RoughGauge, plus a few insights and opinions on the recent happenings with G&amp;L Guitars
* And so much more!

Tune in for stories, history, a little industry talk, and a whole lot of music love.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>After taking a week to recap the magic and madness of Hulaween 2025, Karl Engelmann returns to the show for part two — and we pick up right where we left off. Karl dives into life at his restaurant and bar, Epic Catering/Mel’s Place, including hosting the Cuddle Clouds album-release party on November 2nd.
From there, the duo gets into the world of independent artists — releasing music across formats, the wild talent of mastering engineers (Karl insists they’re “aliens”), and how his current project Cuddle Clouds ties into the broader web of creative work he’s building. He walks us through the roots of the old-time bluegrass movement, what it means to help keep the tradition alive, and how playing upright bass has shaped him both creatively and professionally.
They go everywhere: the impact of Hurricane Helene… leaf season in Western North Carolina... Arizona THC gummies… telepathy… and even the eternal question — did Pompeii have a house band? With Karl, it’s never a dull moment, and part two is no exception</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>Photographer David Armas is back to chat about his sophomore year of covering Hulaween Music Festival for DATC Media. He walks us through the full four-day ride — the sets he was thrilled to catch, the acts that left him wanting more, and the surprises that hit along the way. David opens up about what it felt like to be more present in year two - and really embodying the &#34;dropped among this crowd&#34; vibe when capturing moments behind the lens. David reflects on remembering your why, his favourite shots from the weekend, his intentions walking into this year, those unmistakable Hula vibes, looking ahead to next year and everything in between.

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, Sara J sits down with the one and only Karl Engelmann! 

An in-depth, no-stone-unturned conversation — but would you expect anything less when Karl comes to hang?

We dive into his new creative project, Cuddle Clouds, with drummer Ben Kilmer and their self-titled debut album. Karl walks us through the tracks, the creative process, and the hilarious visual that pops into his mind when he explains the band name.

And in true Karl fashion, we naturally veer off into aliens, UFOs, meteors, interstellar objects, Christmas albums, and even a wild story about his project Mother Vinegar playing a show at a strip club.

Karl also shares his thoughts on the analog vs. digital debate, what bringing the upright bass into his repertoire has opened up for him (including the chance to play with three completely different bands), and how a trip to Sedona inspired both a track on the album and the full color scheme of the cover.

And that’s just part one.

Hilarious, nostalgic, and packed with surprises — you’re not going to want to miss it. 🎧

Check out the self-titled debut from Cuddle Clouds wherever you stream music, and read Sara J&#39;s full review on Patreon → patreon.com/datcmediacompany</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>“There’s always some genesis of it all.” 

Iconic music photographer Richard Beland is back for the conclusion of his conversation with Sara J, diving right into his latest and most ambitious project yet — Liss Gallery Presents: OUR IMMORTAL STARS Vol. 1, a six-week exhibition and photography book that captures decades of rock history.

Richard walks Sara through the journey from the very beginning — meeting with gallery owner Brian Liss, reflecting on what it means to stand among the photographers he once admired, and debuting his first exhibit with the gallery.

He also shares the year-long process behind the 250-page book, featuring 200&#43; photos of over 180 bands and 27 short stories he wrote about the artists who shaped his personal and professional life.

The two continue their conversation with stories from across Richard’s incredible career, including:
🎸 His recent presentation at The TTH Top Forty Celebration of The Hip for ALS and his creative collaborations with The Tragically Hip
🔥 Behind-the-scenes memories from Woodstock ’99
🎓 How teaching at Lambton College — and helping build its two-year photography program — gave him a new sense of balance and purpose. Now in his 13th year of teaching, Richard reflects on the ride so far, what keeps him grounded, and why storytelling through photography still matters as much as ever.

Now in his 13th year of teaching, Richard reflects on the ride so far, what keeps him grounded, and why storytelling through photography still matters as much as ever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👉 RSVP to the OUR IMMORTAL STARS Vol. 1 Exhibition: [email: &lt;a href=&#34;mailto:brianliss1801@gmail.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;brianliss1801@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Website: &lt;a href=&#34;https://richardbeland.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://richardbeland.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/richard.beland&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/richard.beland&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/share/14LapA4SrHW/?mibextid=wwXIfr&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/share/14LapA4SrHW/?mibextid=wwXIfr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liss Gallery Presents: Richard Beland Our Immortal Stars Vol. 1: VIP Book Launch and Artist Reception: October 25th, 2025 - &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.lissgallery.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.lissgallery.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listen to Richard on The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown (Song Number 4): &lt;a href=&#34;https://kite.link/song4&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://kite.link/song4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

                <itunes:subtitle>“There could be world peace if everybody just went to rock concerts all the time.”

This week on Dropped Among This Crowd, Sara J welcomes world-renowned and iconic music photographer Richard Beland for a captivating two-part conversation that dives deep into music, memory, and the magic of live shows.

In Part One, Richard takes us on a journey through his early years in a border town, where mischief and music first intertwined. From discovering his mom’s record collection and obsessively tuning into Detroit radio, to finally getting permission to attend his first concert in 1983 — Richard traces the roots of a lifelong passion.

He shares how flipping through rock magazines planted the seeds for his legendary photography career and recounts the moment that changed everything: bringing a Nikon camera to the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty show at Rich Stadium in Buffalo on July 4th, 1986 — a day that set his creative path in motion.

Sara and Richard also explore the welcoming spirit of the jamband community, his experiences as a devoted Deadhead (with over 150 shows under his belt), and his heartfelt journals filled with memories from the road. Along the way, Richard opens up about losing his father just three days after his 20th birthday — a pivotal moment that reshaped his connection to touring and storytelling through images.

Plus, hear behind-the-scenes tales from his nearly 20 years as house photographer at Fallsview Casino, from shooting rising star Yungblud to an unforgettable (and hilariously awkward) photo session with Art Garfunkel — complete with a ten-minute apologetic voicemail he’ll cherish forever.

Get ready for a warm, nostalgic, and insightful conversation about the shows that shaped a career, the people who made it unforgettable, and the power of live music to change a life.

                <itunes:subtitle>This week, we’re welcoming some feminine energy to the mic with special guest Leah Naomi Singman — a Michigan-based musician, mother, and longtime friend of Sara J’s.

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Leah opens up about navigating the male-dominated music industry, transforming life experiences into creative purpose, and what we hope our children learn by watching us chase our dreams. We dive into the beauty of live music communities, her deep love for music, and the magical presence of her grandmother’s piano — shipped all the way from Argentina — that sat quietly in the living room throughout her childhood.

Leah shares the surprising influence of the legendary Argentine hippie band Sui Generis, and how a Carole King cartoon musical left a lasting impression. From writing her first song at age eight, to picking up a guitar for the first time at Shabbat dinner, not allowing a janky guitar from a flea market to discourage her and learning classical guitar — her musical journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring.

With her debut album set to release this November, Leah talks about the creative process, the serendipitous way she met her producer, and the multi-instrumentalist collaborators bringing her songs to life.

                <itunes:episode>306</itunes:episode>
                
                <itunes:author>Sara Jachimiak </itunes:author>
                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show Sara J. is joined by musician and podcast host Mark Hopkins for a wide-ranging conversation that’s equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human.

They dive into everything — from the power of music and raw emotion to time itself, ghost stories from Salem, UFOs, and beyond.

Mark shares how hearing Pearl Jam’s Ten for the first time changed the trajectory of his life, the early influence of his siblings’ eclectic music tastes, and the unwavering support of his father. A lifelong student of music, he reflects on the Baltimore music scene, playing with past guest Dan Wallace, and the endless joy of falling down music’s rabbit holes, taking the things he loves along the way and adding his finger print to create his own musical &#34;mad libs&#34;

They talk creativity’s highs and lows, releasing three new songs in 2025, and the importance of pouring into yourself — including workouts (because yes, Sara loves her workouts).

From interviewing Pearl Jam’s first drummer to working remotely for Berklee College of Music while raising his daughter, Mark opens up about life, art, and staying connected to your 15-year-old self, even when you’re “adulting.”

Plus: his podcast At Home with Mark (Sara will be a live guest on Oct 28 at 6pm ET!), the magic of meeting your heroes, and why music lovers are all just a little bit like Swifties.</itunes:subtitle>

A lifelong student of music, he reflects on the Baltimore music scene, playing with past guest Dan Wallace, and the endless joy of falling down music’s rabbit holes, taking the things he loves along the way and adding his finger print to create his own musical &amp;#34;mad libs&amp;#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They talk creativity’s highs and lows, releasing three new songs in 2025, and the importance of pouring into yourself — including workouts (because yes, Sara loves her workouts).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From interviewing Pearl Jam’s first drummer to working remotely for Berklee College of Music while raising his daughter, Mark opens up about life, art, and staying connected to your 15-year-old self, even when you’re “adulting.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus: his podcast At Home with Mark (Sara will be a live guest on Oct 28 at 6pm ET!), the magic of meeting your heroes, and why music lovers are all just a little bit like Swifties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from this week&amp;#39;s guest: &lt;a href=&#34;https://linktr.ee/Markhopkinsmusic?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafQn7eUUTvuENftgU0gyBd8FB9xHD_D1J_ht2BcjYvKOTub1JnNBwtOJmR4mA_aem_aYJ3m08maMAIKlHuq7FYsg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://linktr.ee/Markhopkinsmusic?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafQn7eUUTvuENftgU0gyBd8FB9xHD_D1J_ht2BcjYvKOTub1JnNBwtOJmR4mA_aem_aYJ3m08maMAIKlHuq7FYsg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Falling Branch Farm Brewery Pumpkin Fest October 4th: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.fallingbranch.beer/events-calendar-1&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.fallingbranch.beer/events-calendar-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

                <itunes:subtitle>Craig is back with the final three bands on his list — and this episode gets real. We dive deep into the raw power of music, the moments that stay with us forever, and the feeling of greatness it can bring.

Craig opens up about an unforgettable experience, shares a documentary everyone should see, and reminds us why music hits the soul in ways nothing else can.

So get comfy (and maybe grab the Kleenex). It’s emotional, it’s beautiful, and the perfect way to close out this special two-part series.

                <itunes:subtitle>Craig brings it all home in this can’t-miss part two starting with Gift Shop—the West Coast’s ultimate tribute to The Tragically Hip. Craig shares the story of how he joined the band, what it’s like stepping into the role of Paul Langlois (right down to the gear), He also reflects on the unique experience of playing in a country where Hip tribute bands are a dime a dozen. Craig talks about the wildest, rain-soaked show they’ve ever played; the verdict is still out on if his guitar pedal survived the experience. 

Craig revisits a guitar story introduced in part one and brings it full-circle—nearly three decades in the making.

Craig takes us through his deep dive process into Gord Downie’s solo catalog through his work on the Discovering Downie Podcast, how that project built a brotherhood with his cohosts and reshaped his relationship with Gord’s music.</itunes:subtitle>

Craig talks about the wildest, rain-soaked show they’ve ever played; the verdict is still out on if his guitar pedal survived the experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Craig revisits a guitar story introduced in part one and brings it full-circle—nearly three decades in the making.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Craig takes us through his deep dive process into Gord Downie’s solo catalog through his work on the Discovering Downie Podcast, how that project built a brotherhood with his cohosts and reshaped his relationship with Gord’s music.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gift Shop: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.giftshophipband.ca&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.giftshophipband.ca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discovering Downie Podcast: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/gorddowniepod/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/gorddowniepod/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Introduce Yerself - Tribute Singers (Discovering Downie Bonus Episode - Craig sits down with the singers from Gift Shop (Ian) and the Almost Hip (Craig) to discuss their performances and what it&amp;#39;s like to be in a tribute to The Hip)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discovering-downie/id1740810199?i=1000661217664&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discovering-downie/id1740810199?i=1000661217664&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tPxzLobp7lFhwzEYNwPul?si=BN-0_ybMQUWHlHyTae3O1A&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tPxzLobp7lFhwzEYNwPul?si=BN-0_ybMQUWHlHyTae3O1A&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;all podcast streaming platforms&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Windows &amp;#39;78:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spotify: &lt;a href=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dgLSNGgttqwpkOO6DnFGs?si=p8Ypp9MXQ5aBLY0_InaEHA&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dgLSNGgttqwpkOO6DnFGs?si=p8Ypp9MXQ5aBLY0_InaEHA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple Music: &lt;a href=&#34;https://music.apple.com/us/artist/windows-78/155673759&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://music.apple.com/us/artist/windows-78/155673759&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loaded Boards Longboard video mentioned in conversation: &lt;a href=&#34;https://youtu.be/l7OpZ_XQzJI?si=EdWXEisd_Q-u63-P&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://youtu.be/l7OpZ_XQzJI?si=EdWXEisd_Q-u63-P&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Canadian Alternative Playlist:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple Music: &lt;a href=&#34;https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/canadian-alternative/pl.u-DdANNBet9G60E&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/canadian-alternative/pl.u-DdANNBet9G60E&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spotify: &lt;a href=&#34;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6biwSrIHlYFrUuxghJja20?pi=M384ATmqRFCcu&amp;si=lGpBxUfSSP--d2w11vsDNA&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6biwSrIHlYFrUuxghJja20?si=lGpBxUfSSP--d2w11vsDNA&amp;amp;pi=M384ATmqRFCcu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voices of Long Covid: &lt;a href=&#34;https://voicesoflongcovid.buzzsprout.com/share&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://voicesoflongcovid.buzzsprout.com/share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

                <itunes:subtitle>The wait is over—Sara J finally sits down with Craig Rogers: co-host of Discovering Downie &amp; guitarist for Gift Shop (West Coast’s ultimate tribute to The Tragically Hip)

In typical DATC Pod fashion, this chat is so good it had to be split into two parts! 

In part one, Craig takes us through his musical journey (with his guitars as our guide)—from the influence of his father’s own musical career,  to grade six band and playing saxophone, to picking up a guitar and being sought out to play with his favourite band. He shares the perils of touring Canada, playing side stage at Lollapalooza ’95, and his first G&amp;L guitar.

We also dive into the music that shaped him: the album that changed everything for him, why he thinks The War on Drugs is the best live band right now, and the time he had tickets to two shows at once. Plus, Craig recalls his first encounters with The Tragically Hip, gives us a peek into his fandom, and explains how Gord Downie left him unsure what to think at first.

And that’s just part one. Buckle up—we’re going deep.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>In the final installment of Sara J&#39;s conversation with jazz saxophonist Dan Wallace, the focus shifts to his band, The 11th Hour, and their phenomenal cover of Tool&#39;s &#34;Sober.&#34; Dan also shares his aspirations for a live album and the story of his friendship with musician Marc Shapiro, who was the catalyst for Dan&#39;s guest spot here on the show.

Dan shares his experiences in the Baltimore music scene, his college days in New Orleans, and gives props to the artists who influenced the musicians we love. He also explains why he believes Steely Dan stands the test of time (and would probably survive the apocalypse). Dan talks about his future plans, including an upcoming jazz album, before switching things up to embark on something new.

And you won&#39;t want to miss the incredible story of how he may or may not have convinced Jeff Coffin to take the gig with The Dave Matthews Band full-time back in the summer of 2008.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:author>Sara Jachimiak </itunes:author>
                <itunes:subtitle>🎷 In this captivating first installment of another epic two-parter, host Sara J. is joined by Baltimore-area jazz saxophonist Dan Wallace for a raw, real, and wide-ranging conversation—true to Dropped Among This Crowd form.

Things leap off with Dan sharing the absolutely fascinating story of local legend Daryl Davis—a blues pianist who, through conversation and courage, convinced dozens of white supremacist leaders to denounce their ideology and leave their hate groups behind.

From there, Dan reflects on the ironic tension of being a professional musician and how it sometimes interferes with actually making music. The conversation shifts to the evolving state of outdoor festivals, the economy, and environmental factors that may threaten their future entirely in the next 5–10 years.

Sara and Dan dive into jam bands, the undeniable magic of Red Rocks (and how it’s always freezing no matter the season), and his almost-career as an opera singer. He shares how a scroll through his now-vintage iPod Classic helped him pivot fully toward jazz saxophone—and what that shift looked like.

They also go back to the beginning: Dan’s childhood love of music, his beloved piano teacher Ms. Karen, and the lasting foundation she helped build. He talks about reconnecting with his elementary music teacher—who he now performs with—and shares how an administrative error almost cost him a spot at a performing arts middle school, until his mother’s persistence saved the day.

Dan recounts joining jazz band early in 7th grade, being introduced to Charlie Parker, the mix CD that changed his life, and working his way through the Charlie Parker Omnibook.

He also opens up about his social struggles growing up—and how being involved in music and starring in school musicals gave him a sense of belonging and helped him feel like maybe he wasn’t “the biggest weirdo in the world.”

Such a thoughtful and fun conversation—you won’t want to miss it.

🎧 Tune in next week for the compelling conclusion in Part Two!</itunes:subtitle>

He talks about reconnecting with his elementary music teacher—who he now performs with—and shares how an administrative error almost cost him a spot at a performing arts middle school, until his mother’s persistence saved the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dan recounts joining jazz band early in 7th grade, being introduced to Charlie Parker, the mix CD that changed his life, and working his way through the Charlie Parker Omnibook.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also opens up about his social struggles growing up—and how being involved in music and starring in school musicals gave him a sense of belonging and helped him feel like maybe he wasn’t “the biggest weirdo in the world.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such a thoughtful and fun conversation—you won’t want to miss it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tune in next week for the compelling conclusion in Part Two!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sober (Tool) Dan Wallace and the 11th Hour: &lt;a href=&#34;https://youtu.be/dH8GQyNB3Zc?si=RCG0J9EyPkxh_Lzc&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://youtu.be/dH8GQyNB3Zc?si=RCG0J9EyPkxh_Lzc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;Terms and Conditions&amp;#34; by Dan Wallace and the 11th Hour: &lt;a href=&#34;https://youtu.be/gJeGfIIvPK8?si=4W8g1HVGPTiyPKqE&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://youtu.be/gJeGfIIvPK8?si=4W8g1HVGPTiyPKqE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dan Wallace and the 11th Hour, a playlist on SoundCloud: &lt;a href=&#34;https://on.soundcloud.com/hSxKIkPHDHIZYXJXLX&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://on.soundcloud.com/hSxKIkPHDHIZYXJXLX&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a guest on the show? &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

                <itunes:subtitle>“I’m a deep cuts person — the hits get you there, but the album cuts keep you.”

Perfectly timed for Canada Day, this episode wraps up Sara J and Darrin’s epic two-part conversation with a deep dive into their shared love for The Tragically Hip. Sara shares the recent rediscovery of a 2003 Gord Downie solo show in Buffalo, while Darrin traces how learning to code sparked his journey into archiving live music—starting with Boston indie band Wheat, and later expanding to The Spoons, Rheostatics, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and of course, The Tragically Hip

The two explore how last fall’s Hip docuseries inspired the now-thriving Hip archive (which—hard to believe—isn’t even a year old). Sara gushes about how she’s used the archive for numerous creative projects, and Darrin reflects on the generosity of tapers and the band&#39;s openness to live recording over the years.
They lovingly nerd out over stats and setlists—Darrin’s seen 129 of the ~180 Hip songs live across 34 shows—and talk about the live albums that shaped his listening, from Peter Gabriel’s Plays Live to Dire Straits’ Alchemy and Genesis’s Three Sides Live. And yes, they reveal their favorite Hip records—Sara’s pick? In Violet Light (of course).

From there, the conversation winds through Darrin’s time playing in his own band, Tempus Fugit, and how recording albums like Shallow Water Blackout reshaped the way he listens to music. (Highly recommended listening, by the way.)

To close, things turn tender and deeply personal. Darrin shares the one show he regrets missing, flipping the question to Sara J—who opens up about the loss of her father, how it distanced her from music and The Hip for years, and the unexpected ways that reconnecting through the docuseries, working with jD from TTH Top Forty Countdown, and a whole lot of healing brought her full circle.</itunes:subtitle>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;“I’m a deep cuts person — the hits get you there, but the album cuts keep you.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perfectly timed for Canada Day, this episode wraps up Sara J and Darrin’s epic two-part conversation with a deep dive into their shared love for The Tragically Hip. Sara shares the recent rediscovery of a 2003 Gord Downie solo show in Buffalo, while Darrin traces how learning to code sparked his journey into archiving live music—starting with Boston indie band Wheat, and later expanding to The Spoons, Rheostatics, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and of course, The Tragically Hip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two explore how last fall’s Hip docuseries inspired the now-thriving Hip archive (which—hard to believe—isn’t even a year old). Sara gushes about how she’s used the archive for numerous creative projects, and Darrin reflects on the generosity of tapers and the band&amp;#39;s openness to live recording over the years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They lovingly nerd out over stats and setlists—Darrin’s seen 129 of the ~180 Hip songs live across 34 shows—and talk about the live albums that shaped his listening, from Peter Gabriel’s Plays Live to Dire Straits’ Alchemy and Genesis’s Three Sides Live. And yes, they reveal their favorite Hip records—Sara’s pick? In Violet Light (of course).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From there, the conversation winds through Darrin’s time playing in his own band, Tempus Fugit, and how recording albums like Shallow Water Blackout reshaped the way he listens to music. (Highly recommended listening, by the way.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To close, things turn tender and deeply personal. Darrin shares the one show he regrets missing, flipping the question to Sara J—who opens up about the loss of her father, how it distanced her from music and The Hip for years, and the unexpected ways that reconnecting through the docuseries, working with jD from TTH Top Forty Countdown, and a whole lot of healing brought her full circle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where you can find this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Hip Archive: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtml&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have a show to contribute?

                <itunes:subtitle>In part one of this epic two-part conversation, Darrin and Sara J dive deep into a rich and winding musical landscape.

They explore the power of thoughtful feedback—from trusted sources—and how it can support the musicians in your life, and the importance of staying open to it yourself.

Darrin reflects on his lifelong love affair with music, tracing it back to the nostalgic albums his parents played—records that have become part of his DNA. Born at a time when some of the most iconic music was not only being released but also performed live, Darrin walks us through his musical journey:  From 70&#39;s prog rock to &#39;80s new wave (and how one inspired the other) to his very first album purchase (which he still owns!) to a concert calendar that&#39;s still stacked decades later.

He shares stories from his first live show—The Who in October 1982 at Toronto’s Exhibition Stadium—complete with a rare Joe Jackson opening set (thanks to The Clash playing SNL that night instead). The night would later be memorialized in a photo inside the sleeve of Jackson&#39;s 80/86 live album.

We talk local shows, backstage moments, and what it&#39;s like to catch bands just before they hit their upward trajectory. 

He also opens up about the raw masculine energy of early Tragically Hip shows, the role music plays in connecting with his kids, and a few of the music websites he contributes to (more on that in Part Two!).

You’ll also hear the origin story behind the lyric:  “Everyone has their breaking point—with me it&#39;s spiders, with you it’s me.” and its connection to the 1977 sci-fi film—&#34;The People That Time Forgot&#34; 

We covered a lot, but there&#39;s still more ground to explore—don’t miss Part Two next week!</itunes:subtitle>

The night would later be memorialized in a photo inside the sleeve of Jackson&amp;#39;s 80/86 live album.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We talk local shows, backstage moments, and what it&amp;#39;s like to catch bands just before they hit their upward trajectory. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also opens up about the raw masculine energy of early Tragically Hip shows, the role music plays in connecting with his kids, and a few of the music websites he contributes to (more on that in Part Two!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’ll also hear the origin story behind the lyric:  “Everyone has their breaking point—with me it&amp;#39;s spiders, with you it’s me.” and its connection to the 1977 sci-fi film—&amp;#34;The People That Time Forgot&amp;#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We covered a lot, but there&amp;#39;s still more ground to explore—don’t miss Part Two next week!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where you can find this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Hip Archive: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtml&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Northern Wish - A Canadian&amp;#39;s Perspective on Music: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.northernwish.com/category/genesis/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.northernwish.com/category/genesis/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donate to DATC Media Company: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give the gift of Patreon: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DATC Media Podcast Family: &lt;a href=&#34;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://datcmediacompany.com/podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for &amp;#34;Sunday Evening Jam&amp;#34;! &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/@dewvre1974&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@dewvre1974&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get your early bird tickets for &amp;#34;A Celebration of The Hip for ALS&amp;#34; on October 4th: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-celebration-of-the-hip-for-als-tickets-1137838598879?aff=oddtdtcreator&amp;fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3OiQE1P_UgOCfqBQK6pp8HQofDQaOXoVIPqxtgaXltv481zOuDOeDB6Q8_aem_JBfNSyaAXNOGEAt-NZAQoQ&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-celebration-of-the-hip-for-als-tickets-1137838598879?aff=oddtdtcreator&amp;amp;fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3OiQE1P_UgOCfqBQK6pp8HQofDQaOXoVIPqxtgaXltv481zOuDOeDB6Q8_aem_JBfNSyaAXNOGEAt-NZAQoQ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to donate or sponsor &amp;#34;A Celebration of The Hip for ALS&amp;#34; on October 4th?

                <itunes:subtitle>In the conclusion of Sara J&#39;s epic two-part conversation with RoughGauge’s Featured Artist for June 2025, Marc Shapiro, we pick up right where we left off—diving back into the gear talk and Marc’s love for integrating the Jake blade into his setup.

Marc shares what makes the Jake blade a standout addition to his arsenal, and how RoughGauge’s legendary customer service ensured every detail was custom-fit—right down to accommodating his unique whammy bar setup and left-handed play style. From there, we explore how this custom Wilkinson build has seamlessly become a part of his sound, even making its way into the DNA of songs in his catalog.

The conversation flows into what’s next in Marc’s musical worlds, Infinite Drift and Greasy Hands, as he offers a sneak peek at upcoming happenings—including a pig roast on Saturday, September 13th, and what promises to be a legendary Halloween shindig.

We also dig into the heartbeat of the Baltimore music scene—from its deep jazz roots and iconic P-Funk residency to its thriving punk, metal, and Baltimore club communities. Marc paints a picture of a city rich in musical diversity, community spirit, and inclusive energy.

Then we shift focus to Marc’s passion for concert photography—how it sparked while writing for his college paper, the moment he realized he could get a photo pass, and how that led to a journey from point-and-shoot beginnings to capturing iconic artists. He reflects on the highs and lows of the craft, the beauty of small venues, and staying grounded in the love for local music.

We wrap with a powerful reflection on creative balance—the importance of stillness and nothingness, and the ever-evolving dance of moving forward, even if slowly.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>In this part one of another epic two-parter, Sara J is joined by the RoughGauge June 2025 featured artist, Marc Shapiro.

Marc takes us through his influences and how Slash and Appetite for Destruction played a major role. Marc shares his love for digging into his favorite guitar player’s heroes, going down a rabbit hole that includes a dive into how John Frusciante has a lot of Hendrix in his playing.

Marc shares the eclecticness of what he listens to, and how watching MTV after school when he was younger did good things for his musical palate. They talk about having the guitar player spirit, the perhaps controversial thought of minimal notes, and how sometimes more is said within the silence. Marc gives a peek into what he’s listening to currently and the music he’s loving that’s coming out of Australia. Marc talks about his passion for following the lineage of a sound, and the evolution of guitar playing and music. The duo gets into music biographies, ones they’ve read, and what’s next on their list.

Marc talks about getting his first guitar when he was ten, followed by his first electric a year later, and knowing that being a musician was his dream once he started playing. He relives elementary school, singing and performing ’90s grunge tunes at talent shows and back-to-school night.

Marc recalls playing in his older brother’s band, and at his bar mitzvah party, an evening that would include Marc crowd surfing. He shares the experience of throwing a music festival - The Rez Ball with his band The Rez, the year he sprained his ankle right before he was about to play two sets, which also happened to be the same summer he played at Warped Tour. Marc shares how he found himself playing with his current projects, Greasy Hands and Infinite Drift.

Lefties unite! Marc elaborates on what it’s like playing left-handed, the advantages and disadvantages, and the joy of finding a leftie guitar out in the wild. He introduces us to his ride or die guitars and the others in his arsenal.

And so much more. Buckle up — this one’s a journey you don’t want to miss!</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, host Sara J is joined by musician, podcast host, and producer Kirk Lane for an epic two-part episode you won’t want to miss.

In Part One, Sara and Kirk dive deep into the idea of finding your &#34;inner fame,&#34; the wisdom of Linda Wolf’s book Tribute, and Kirk&#39;s love for the Grateful Dead. They chat about the magic of seeing shows at The Sphere, the spark that led Kirk to pick up a guitar, and his journey through his first originals band.

Kirk shares stories from the thousands of shows he’s seen live (seriously, it’s a lot) and how that shaped his musical DNA. He also opens up about his debut solo album From the Kirkyard—how revisiting old songs now has given them new life, and how they&#39;ve sparked fresh inspiration.

Get ready for deep cuts, musical rabbit holes, and a whole lot of heart.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, Sara J. sits down with RoughGauge’s May 2025 Featured Artist, Ben Kays.

They dive into the guitarists who’ve shaped his sound, the pros and cons of being a left-handed player, and the rhythm guitarist he turns to for inspiration. Ben opens up about his songwriting process, the emotional and mental role music plays in his life, and what it means to be a well-rounded musician.

He shares how his dad influenced his journey into guitar playing and gigging, and reveals the first solo he ever learned. Ben also brings in “The Falcon,” a custom-built guitar by the Slovak company Magic Attic, and tells the story behind its creation.

The conversation turns to his band The Textures, their set at SummerCamp Music Festival (the very first festival he ever attended), and the seasonal energy woven through their new album Perennials—out now.

And yes, they get into the infamous Jake Blade—why he’ll never go back to a traditional whammy bar, and how it adds color to his playing.

It’s a thoughtful, dynamic, and deeply musical conversation you won’t want to miss.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:author>Sara Jachimiak </itunes:author>
                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, host Sara J is joined by Canadian woodworker and artist Ashley Dawes, the creative force behind Willow &amp; Ash Designs.

Ashley shares how she unexpectedly found her way into woodworking, how life as part of a military family shaped her journey, and what draws her to a craft that demands such precision and patience. She also opens up about the therapeutic power of woodworking and how it has become more than just a creative outlet.

In this inspiring conversation, Ashley discusses:

* The origin story behind Willow &amp; Ash Designs — including what inspired the name

* How her business has evolved alongside her life, especially while navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship

* The deep connection she has with her work, how her children inspire her, and what it means to have a relationship with your business

* The joys and challenges of small business ownership: setting boundaries, pricing your work with confidence, and the critical role time management plays in success

Ashley also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the most meaningful piece she&#39;s ever made — a show-stopping guitar stand she created for this year’s Scroll Saw competition, inspired by the music of The Tragically Hip. From a confusing sketch no one understood to a stunning final piece that took over 50 hours to complete, she walks us through the intricate design and the four songs that are part of the build.

We also talk about:

* How her recent move to Kingston, Ontario, sparked the final vision for the guitar stand

* What it feels like to be the conduit for creative ideas waiting to come through

* Her shop playlist, her least favorite project, and how recent global shifts have impacted her as a Canadian small business owner, especially with her U.S. customers

This episode is a real, heartfelt look at what it takes to build something you love through patience, creativity, and staying connected to your craft as life evolves.</itunes:subtitle>

                <itunes:subtitle>This week on the show, Sara J. sits down with RoughGauge’s April 2025 Featured Artist, Bill Hyland, for an honest, inspiring, and wide-ranging conversation that goes deep into the heart of music and creativity.

Bill opens up about his first guitar god and the surprising instrument that kickstarted his musical journey — the accordion. From there, we follow his path through early influences, humbling experiences that challenged him to grow, and the transformative power of staying open to always learning more.

We explore his evolution into improvisational music, how inspirations shift over time, and the emotional and mental connection Bill has with the guitar — diving into how frequencies, energy, and live performance create moments of real connection between artist and audience.

The conversation takes a thoughtful turn into the role of AI in music and art — how it can be used as a tool without overstepping creative boundaries. Of course, we also nerd out on gear (including the Jake Blade), Bill walks me through his various musical projects and more!

This episode is packed with stories, insight, and creative energy you won’t want to miss.

Tune in, turn up, and get inspired.</itunes:subtitle>

Of course, we also nerd out on gear (including the Jake Blade), Bill walks me through his various musical projects and more!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode is packed with stories, insight, and creative energy you won’t want to miss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tune in, turn up, and get inspired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where you can find this week&amp;#39;s guest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instagram: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/billhylandguitar/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/billhylandguitar/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Facebook: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/bill.hyland.7&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/bill.hyland.7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can read his Q&amp;amp;A mentioned in this episode and more here: &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.roughgaugellc.com/featured-artists&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.roughgaugellc.com/featured-artists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bill&amp;#39;s Various Musical Projects:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/squirrel_gravy_music/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/squirrel_gravy_music/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063561757440&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063561757440&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/thescurryband/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/thescurryband/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/thescurryband&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/thescurryband&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/objectbandmt/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/objectbandmt/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/objectbandmt&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/objectbandmt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/kaileymarie.mt/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/kaileymarie.mt/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/kayli.smith.351&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/kayli.smith.351&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/@KaileyMarieMusic&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@KaileyMarieMusic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/funk.e.moto/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/funk.e.moto/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/ravenroshi/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/ravenroshi/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/ravenroshi&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/ravenroshi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/jazz_cabbage_bzn/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/jazz_cabbage_bzn/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/JazzCabbageBZN&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/JazzCabbageBZN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would you or someone you know like to be a RoughGauge Featured Artist?
