Ep. 028 My Chat with Chris Carrabba

This week I have the honor and pleasure to have my friend Chris Carrabba on the show! I have enjoyed Chris’ music for over 20 years. Starting with Further Seems Forever and then on to of course Dashboard Confessional & Twin Forks. Some of my most favorite memories were going to see these bands play live over the years. In this episode we chat about: One of our favorite venues, the nostalgic ORIGINAL Emo’s in Austin, TX. The Legendary John Bunch The history of Further Seems Forever The “This Is About As Social As I Get Now” livestream. His collaboration with Ruston Kelly. His journey as he recovers from his motorcycle accident earlier this year. The hope he has for recovery and the future. The epic tale of Vindicated and how it became the single for Spiderman-2 Something surprising many people may not know about him And lots more!!!! Quite a few songs were added to the podcast soundtrack! These consist of my favorites of his music, songs we talked about in the episode and a couple he shared with me that he loves a lot!
