TBCN Unplugged –with Guest Wally Passet
Welcome to TBCN Unplugged—the podcast where we go behind the scenes with the creatives, musicians, and media minds shaping the culture around us.
Today, we’re talking with Wally Passet—a name that resonates deeply in the Southern California rock scene and beyond. He lit up stages in the ‘80s with Snakebyte, a hard-hitting metal band out of Encinitas known for its raw power and unforgettable live shows. Later, he brought a new kind of energy with Wally World, a comedic rock band that turned up the volume—and the laughs.
One of his most talked-about moments? The viral video Raising Cane—a tongue-in-cheek, high-octane anthem that blends classic rock swagger with Wally’s signature humor. It’s become a cult favorite and proof that Wally’s creative spark is still burning bright.
But his journey isn’t just about the music. After decades in the business, Wally experienced a personal transformation—finding faith and walking a new path grounded in purpose and spirituality. Now, he blends rock and redemption in everything he does.
From guitar solos to God’s guidance, this is one story you won’t want to miss.
This is TBCN Unplugged with Wally Passet—let’s dive in.
