Harry Ostrem

Today’s guest reminds me that sometimes, I need to shift my focus. Welcome the multitalented Harry Ostrem to the podcast. I met Harry through a project I started two years ago. But I’ll explain that in a minute. Harry is a bassist, actor, singer, songwriter, comedian, writer, and more. The guy is crazy talented. He grew up about as far away from showbusiness as possible, in a small town of 20 in rural Montana. Yes, I know, that’s redundant. But it’s true. In 5th grade, he was the person in the 5th grade. But he escaped the wilds of Montana for the bright lights of…Spokane, Washington and Gonzaga University.  He didn’t go directly into the entertainment industry from college. Instead he was a social worker. This is where things change. Literally. Somehow, my phone connected to the bluetooth in my car and Harry had a nice conversation with my son instead of me. But once we recover, we get into Harry Muff’s Disco, how he almost got divorced collecting props for a music video for one of his songs, and his connection to my project. You’ll learn more about it in the episode, but it’s a Spinal Tap tribute album for The Who’s Teen Cancer America charity. I’ll be releasing more info about it as we inch closer to the release of the Spinal Tap Sequel and the album release.
