I’m super excited to have @scottymetz on the show for this week’s episode. Scott’s stellar guitar work has been the hallmark of his 25-year career, and he's now grown permanent roots with his project (and lifelong dream) @lamp_trio along with bandmates @russlawton and @raypaczkowski (both of Trey Anastasio Band). LaMP’s latest album, “One Of Us” is out there now for your listening pleasure; it’s a spectacular work of musical art!!
Scott brings his excitement, enthusiasm, curiosity and his special brand of enduring authenticity to the show, and I couldn’t be happier to share this special interview with all of you. Scott talks to me about his life of “happy accidents;” a series of life-defining moments that he expresses with genuine gratitude and surprise. From a punk rock kid to exploring gypsy jazz, to diving into the depths of improvisation, to his early roots and connection with WEEN, Scott has seen and experienced tons of twists and turns, and he’s here to share it all.
