Retrospective Episode 1: Dwayne Haggins and (Rebroadcast) Eric Richard Stone

Dwayne Haggins primarily plays in Massachusetts and across the East Coast. However, he is coming to Colorado during the month of June 2024 for not one, but two shows! He first became inspired to play the guitar in 2016 after watching Sturgill Simpson appear on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, teaching himself to play and eventually mustering the courage to go to an open mic. After performing at the open mic, he realized that performing live truly inspired him. He started playing at more open mics, then gigs, then more gigs, to the point where he can now be a musician full-time. Eric Richard Stone says he comes from a classically trained musical family. Many members of his extended family were original faculty members of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and even started the Bay Chamber Concert Series. Stone himself went to the Quaker school known as Germantown Friends School, where he sang in the choir and took music theory classes.Update on August 8, 2024: The podcast host recently discovered that the Eric Richard Stone interview had already been featured in the opening episode of season 3, broadcast on January 2, 2023, where the podcast introduced the new hosts at the time.
