"You use 3 chords...G, C, and D..." Episode 18 with Justin Jardine

On the first episode back after our summer break, I was joined by Justin Jardine. Justin talks us through his expat journey from Wisconsin to Hamburg...via Freiburg and Vienna...and we also dig deep into his musical exploits along the way. Discovering guitars and distortion at an early age, Justin really got into the thriving punk scene at home. We talk DIY, Under-The-Radar, and Pop-up gigs and Justin describes how it helped him become more politically and socially aware and how this also led to his musical tastes changing over time. Moving abroad, opened up a whole new avenue of opportunities and possibilities. Who knew that there was a Bluegrass scene in Hamburg? Justin tells us all about it, as well as his main project - Raindance Kid. We talk differences in playing in a band as an expat and playing in one at home, putting shows together and touring, and how he got into playing pedal steel guitar. There’s Opera Houses, The Lemonheads, Sturgill Simpson's weird synth player, and just why has Justin been in so many bands with ‘KID’ in the name?
