We are extremely excited to have Jake Brownstein of Eggy as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Song by timeless song Eggy reaches out a hand, inviting you along as a great story unfolds. Eggy’s music traces the full spectrum of emotions evoked by a life well-lived alongside friends well-loved.Jake joined us here in the NSR studio on their stop here in Portland to hang out with us a little bit and have an extremely heartfelt conversation about:The ways in which our musical community responds from town to town and state to state across the country.What it was about playing music that drove Jake from an early age to want to do it for a living.If playing is more of an emotional outlet for him or a place to find his own unique voice.Why he decided to learn to play pedal steel guitar, the musical equivalent of flying a spaceship.The way in which his own unique style of learning has benefited him in life.How he keeps his mental space on point with so much happening so fast and with so much going on.The importance of having solid friendships, family, and partner support while sacrificing for a dream.Eggy's plans of recording their new album with James Petralli of White Denim.... and much, much more!Head over to www.eggymusic.com for tour info, mech, videos, music and more!INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - WILL HANZA OF ESCAPER-FREE SHIPPING from Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroad-Make Sure to visit our friends at Fire On The Mountain for some amazing food at one of the 3 location in the Portland area or one of the 2 location in the Denver area!-CHECK OUT THE NSR EXCLUSIVE BETA PREVIEW OF www.venuellama.comMUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:CIRCLES AROUND THE SUNOUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:CHILLDREN OF INDIGONo Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.
