DONIVAN BLAIR-TOADIES

Today I embark on my first 2nd!! My brother stops by again to chew the fat and update us all on the exciting things happening in his world. We look at his musical journey, his exploration of bass tones, the evolution of the Toadies, and the influence of legendary producer Steve Albini. We discuss the significance of musical identity and the creative process behind the Toadies' new album, highlighting the intricate relationship between musicians and their craft. We also discuss our experiences in the music industry, including navigating band dynamics, recording, and the influence of Paul McCartney. We talk about Doni's new podcast Why Bass which explores the world of bass players and their unique position in rock n roll. He share's insights about his upcoming album and tour and great news.....unlike last time, we do not get into a fight about the age of a vintage bass.Why Bass PodcastToadiesToadies LiveOur partners help make this show happen!
