All Episodes

July 17, 2023 • 89 mins

Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again...the podcast where each week I’ll be discussing the pitfalls of the music industry. This week I'm speaking to one of the greatest guitarist and vocalist amongst us right now, Richie Kotzen! You may know him from his time in Poison and Mr Big, or currently as the frontman of The Winery Dogs. If not, this is your introduction to an incredibly talented human being and musician. He is a fantastic guitarist and as well as being a part of those bands I mentioned before, he is also a prolific solo artist. We spoke about how he navigated difficult music contracts over the years, how he stayed true to himself and his craft and what the creative process actually means to him along with lots of guitar based chat...of course.

Thank you so much for listening, we really appreciate it!
