What’s the local scene like where you live? Any labels, artists, events, etc you’d like to shout out?
I live in Joplin, Missouri. Population 50,000. 3 hours from St. Louis. 2 from Kansas City. 2 from Tulsa, Oklahoma. It’s always been this kind of dropping off point. It’s a small town in the bible belt but we had a wonderful punk scene when I was a kid. At the Drive In came here. ALL came here. Marky Ramone. Lots of wonderful experiences going to local shows around here. The best part about a small town scene is that things aren’t quite codified as to what is cool and what isn’t, so very often bands from many different genres perform together and share an audience out of necessity. I’m not as familiar with the scene now as I spend my time with family. The Cesspool Castle puts on these wonderful basement shows to about 15-50 metalhead kids at a time open to almost any kind of experience. Great place to stop in between bigger cities.
Anything else you’d like to mention before we go?
Long Read Memories is my latest, and featured a wonderful review from A Closer Listen. I’d really like people to hear what I did on that as I’m very proud of the story I told — of getting my story, my experiences, out there. We carry so much baggage. It’s so much better traveling lightly.
Thanks so much for sharing with us.
