Jeremy Estes
from On My Own Dime Hosted by Jason McCormack
Welcome to On My Own Dime! Today I'm talking with the President of the Houston Punk Festival, Jeremy Estes. We are talking about how Jeremy managed to book the festival at Fitzgerald's - Houston's oldest and most recognized punk music venue. For my East Coast people, this is the Houston equivalent of NY's CBGBs. Jeremy and I were stationed on a ship together and we used to play shows for the crew so he is a good friend of mine. He currently plays guitar for a new band called Rooftop Boxer. We also talk about the importance of charity and finding a way to serve others. For him, it's all about the music and keeping the scene thriving We unpack the challenges of organizing the event remotely while he was deployed at sea and his approach to being a dad who encourages his daughter to realize her dream of becoming a literal rock star while also convincing her that science is cool too. I'm your host Jason McCormack. Thanks for listening to "On My Own Dime"!
