Just Sway - The Unofficial Blue October Experience

Art and music are terms that are intertwined, sometimes more than we know. And for some of us, that mingling is much more than most of us are aware of. In this episode, Lucas was able to talk with new artist Jackie Rose who is completing a residency at Orb Studio's - the studio owned and co-operated by Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey. Learn much more about her music and the unique way in which her senses are intertwined and ...

A great conversation between Lucas, Jackie Rose, and Matt Noveskey took place following the official "interview." It was so good, that it warranted a bonus episode!

"Twenty-two years ago, I was struggling to figure out who I was and why I was here. I was someone who didn’t fit into the box where I was told I belong…. So, I did whatever made me happy and did it better than anyone else. Really… I was good at it! The problem is that I hurt a lot of people in the process. Of course, I justified my actions for years. That was until my selfishness led me to betray a dear friend and cause extreme...

On stage, Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey has a stoic appearance. Centered, focused, driven - so much so that you rarely see pictures of him with any sign of emotion while he's playing. But behind that passion is a ton of enthusiasm for his craft and the people he surrounds himself with. 

In this special episode, Lucas and Jason Curtis from Alternative Affairs Podcast were able to talk with Matt for good look further into wha...

In an amazingly sweet video, David had Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey film himself and the band an inspirational message to his then fiancé, Stephanie.

Sway has been a constant in my own Blue October library for sometime, and this episode is entirely focused on this one, incredible song. I was extremely fortunate to be joined by Bongani Mlambo, director of the Sway video, as well as photographer Ashley Ehrhardt. While each of them are fans of the band in their own respects, it was great to see how they had taken a song and turned it into their own pieces of art.

With the long awaited documentary 'Get Back Up' due to come out on May 21st, 2020, I talked with director Norry Niven all about the film. A fan of Blue October and their music before he began working with them, Norry's relationship with Justin and the rest of the band went from being a fan to telling this incredible story of hope. 

Join myself and Norry as we go in-depth on what started this immense project and how the f...

One the most intriguing parts about Blue October's fans is this thing we call the "Blue Family." It's not something that is easily describable - but once you experience it, you know it's real. 

In talking with other fans one thing that came up often was this connection that is felt with others who also experience the music, or the concerts, or Justin's journey and story. Once you know another person is a Blue...

Michael Molthan of 'M2 The Rock' was very gracious and had me on his show, which is focused around addiction, recovery, and the solutions behind a better life. We both sat down at his second studio, "Rachel's Cafe," and talked about Blue October and their message, along with a little more introspective look at where his story came from and how he deals with his own daily struggles.

Michael is beyond the real-dea...

Just as the song goes, life is full of ups and downs. It goes up, and it goes down. This is the story from Tara Felina and how that "Jump Rope" life of hers has kept her grateful for today and hopeful for better tomorrows.

Tara and I connected in December 2018 through Facebook and an online Blue October forum. Once we talked and I found out she had written a book with a Blue October song (Jump Rope) as the title, we were de...

What is that makes a Blue October concert experience so moving that many describe it as being therapeutic? Why will some go to countless shows, year after year - or travel incredible distances just to see these performances?

Join me in this episode, as I share some descriptions of what other have felt and lived through with Blue October in their own words.

Sharing stories from others is important, but letting my own story be known and felt is equally so. This is my story with Blue October and how their music affected me. 

When Just Sway was only an idea, I knew that I was eventually going to have to tell my own side of where Blue October entered my life and how it had helped me through a very dark time. Listen now to hear how I used the music and the message to feel and gain strength ...

This is a story of love, heartache, triumph, and the fight within the human spirit. Christine’s love for Blue October was born from her husband’s personal battle, and that love would come to be the light when her world got very dark.

I first connected with Christine because she had shared an image I loved on a Blue October Facebook page. We talked at the end of last year, and I knew her story was incredible right from the beginning...

On April 12th, 2019, there was a special screening in Dallas of the documentary, "Get Back Up" - the documentary years in the works so many fans have been patiently waiting for. I was lucky enough to watch it as part of the Dallas International Film Festival, and Jason Maguire and I sat down on a Saturday afternoon (in a McDonald's!) and went over our thoughts on the screening.
