Tim Convy — Ludo, Comedy & Building a Creative Life in St. Louis

On this episode of Meet Me in Music, host Neil Salsich sits down with musician, comedian, radio host, and longtime St. Louis creative Tim Convy for a conversation about chasing creativity across multiple worlds — from touring in a nationally recognized rock band to building a career in stand-up comedy, radio, and live entertainment.Tim shares the story behind Ludo, the cult-favorite band that grew from DIY tours and local shows into a nationally touring act with appearances on late night television, MTV, and major festival stages. He reflects on the band’s rise, the realities of life on the road, and how Ludo unexpectedly became a phenomenon with fans still flying in from across the country for reunion shows today.The conversation also explores Tim’s transition into comedy and radio after stepping away from music full time. He opens up about rediscovering performance through stand-up, learning to embrace authenticity on-air, and balancing creativity with marriage, fatherhood, and everyday life in St. Louis.Neil and Tim dive into the evolution of radio, the overlap between music and comedy, the importance of community, and how creative ambitions shift over time. They also discuss punk rock Disney shows, touring memories, local music scenes, and why learning to appreciate the present matters just as much as chasing the next milestone.More than anything, this episode is about reinvention — continuing to create, staying connected to what inspires you, and finding new ways to evolve as an artist.They discuss:The rise, breakup, and reunion of LudoTouring, late night TV, and life on MTVTransitioning from music into stand-up comedy and radioThe evolution of radio and podcast cultureBalancing creativity, family life, and fatherhoodPunk rock Christmas and Disney cover showsBuilding creative communities in St. LouisLearning to appreciate success in the momentThe realities of touring, burnout, and reinventionPerforming Tim’s comedy song “Chiropractor” live🎙 New episodes of Meet Me in Music every other Friday🔗 CONNECT WITH STL BUCKET LIST:Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/stlbucketlist/?utm_source=InstagramWebsite ▶ stlbucketlist.com🤝 WORK WITH STL BUCKET LISTInterested in partnering or sponsoring an episode?Email ▶ [email protected] ▶ https://www.bucketlistcreative.com/about-usThis episode is brought to you by our amazing sponsors — Swade Dispensary, Brick City Yoga, and Kuva Coffee.
