Episode 309: Tom Hamilton Live from The Basement in Nashville

I'm so psyched to welcome everyone to this debut episode of Roadcase Live from The Basement in Nashville!!  For this inaugural interview, Tom Hamilton and I sit down prior to his set to talk about his creative life with Joe Russo's Almost Dead (JRAD) as well as the variety of other projects he's been involved with over his almost 30-year career. Tom also talks to me about his new solo project and his stellar new album, I'm Your Vampire. Big shoutout to Joe Lentini -- co-producer of Roadcase Live and the Talent Buyer at The Basement. Also big thanks to everyone at Another Planet Entertainment for helping to make this live show happen. =============================Chapters:00:00 -- Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:50 – Introducing Tom Hamilton and Roadcase Live from The Basement 05:33 – The Significance of the Solo Album 09:13 – Collaborative Spirit in Music Creation 13:12 – Improvisation and Artistic Growth 17:17 – Playing with Legends: The J-Rad Experience 21:06 – The Influence of Early Musical Training 24:57 – Future of Dead & Company and Legacy 26:08 – Legacy and Continuation of the Grateful Dead 30:16 – Personal Stories and Anecdotes with Bob Weir34:06 – The New Album: Personal Reflections and Themes 36:11 – Navigating Current Challenges and Personal Struggles 41:45 – The Journey to Artistic Identity 43:55 -- Episode Wrap-Up with Host Josh Rosenberg=============================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  [email protected] theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
