I’m so excited to welcome Jake Brownstein to Roadcase this week!! Jake plays shredding guitar for the band Eggy, which has been lighting up stages, and turning on fans with their unique brand of what I like to call “collaborative rock.”
Jake is a super thoughtful and humble artist, who seeks to find joy in the moment, and he talks to me about how being vulnerable and seeking to be true to oneself is the key to living authentically — in both the arts and in one’s personal life.
Together, we explore the origins of the band, and go deep into self-exploration and what it means to really make a difference in people’s lives with music. This is a special interview with a unique artist, and Jake really brings it all for this amazing conversation.
