This week I have the honor and pleasure to have my friend Chris Carrabba on the show! I have enjoyed Chris’ music for over 20 years. Starting with Further Seems Forever and then on to of course Dashboard Confessional & Twin Forks. Some of my most favorite memories were going to see these bands play live over the years.
In this episode we chat about:
- One of our favorite venues, the nostalgic ORIGINAL Emo’s in Austin, TX.
- The Legendary John Bunch
- The history of Further Seems Forever
- The “This Is About As Social As I Get Now” livestream.
- His collaboration with Ruston Kelly.
- His journey as he recovers from his motorcycle accident earlier this year.
- The hope he has for recovery and the future.
- The epic tale of Vindicated and how it became the single for Spiderman-2
- Something surprising many people may not know about him
- And lots more!!!!
