Episode 25 - Mike Marsh - Avett Confessional

In episode 25, I gained the ear of Mike Marsh.  Mike is a drummer and a producer the currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Mike has been the drummer for The Avett Brothers since 2012.  Mike grew up in Florida, raised by his brother, and started playing the drums in middle school.  Through the support of Mike's brother and mother, he was able to follow his passion and become a touring musician.  In his late teens, he was in a Boca Raton punk band, The Agency. However, one of his bandmates, Chris Carrabba, started a new band and asked Mike to join.  Mike remained the drummer for Dashboard Confessional for over a decade and discussed some of the ups and downs of the band.  Mike also discusses his entry into The Avett Brothers and producing his most recent album in Papermill Studios. Crystal and I discuss Sunny Day Real Estate, MTV late-night programs, a little Avett Brothers, and going down in a blaze of glory in this week's wrap-up. Please enjoy my fast-paced and meandering conversation with Mr. Mike Marsh.
