Episode 327: Secondhand Serenade

The one and only John Vesely is on the Chord Progression Podcast today! Secondhand Serenade is headlining day 2 of the When We Were Hungry Festival and we want to dive into it. In this episode, we talk about John's decision to support When We Were Hungry, why John loves Emo Nites, why John finds great connection and passion in the emo scene, and how he might want to cook at When We Were Hungry Fest. Plus a spooky story from The Rave in Milwaukee, working with Emo's Not Dead, and having his son's gender reveal party after a show with the fans, this one is not to be missed.   Find John & Secondhand Serenade Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/secondhandserenade Twitter: https://twitter.com/secondhandjohn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secondhandjohn YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUYewe8fUv3bSazNVZ48RXg Website: https://www.secondhandserenade.us Merch: https://www.secondhandserenade.us/shop Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6eouuqqGggqDlYRV63cgPo?si=MxTtyrOISl23r67u_gOVPA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/secondhand-serenade/152407644   Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code CPP at https://www.manscaped.com #ad #manscapedpod   We Are Sponsoring WHEN WE WERE HUNGRY FESTIVAL: https://whenwewerehungryfestival.com GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chordprogressionpodcast   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome John Vesely: (5:33) Scary Stories about The Rave in Milwaukee: (9:26) How Secondhand Serenade Got to Headline WWWH & Emo Nites: (13:51) John Introducing his Son to the Scene & Seeing Friends in Vegas: (21:00) Loving the Emo Scene & the Fans: (25:54) Getting Back Out on the Road Post-Pandemic: (31:47) Interesting WWWH Surprises? & More Emo Love: (35:33) Best Emo Weekend Ever?: (43:05) ohn's WWWH Artist Recommendations: (45:22) Matt Cutshall, Emo's Not Dead, & His Influence: (50:59) John Hanging with the Fans: (54:06) John's Closing Remarks: (1:03:54) Closing It Out: (1:07:08)
