Great convos with cool creatives

I love the vibe of this show and the way that Bryan gets artists to open up about so many aspects of the process.

Intentional questions, easy to listen to

Bryan always asks the best questions and then lets his guests take the conversation from there. Love listening to each new episode.

Review

Awesome interview with John Schlitt!! Loved the way that you as an interviewer engaged with him and allowed hike to speak❤️ Keep up the Good work brother!!

Insightful, engaging and entertaining!

I was pulled in by Bryan’s episodes with Glen Phillips, and boy am I glad I gave it a try! Perhaps the best interview I’ve heard with GP. Bryan comes at the interview in an engaging and informed way. His style is also transparent, sounding less like a formal interview than an insightful conversation. Nicely teased out some of the interesting band dynamics of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Highly recommend starting with the two GP episodes and going from there. Give it a listen!

For all who love music

Bryan Frazier gives music lovers a gift by zooming in on the lives, inspirations and and passions of todays artists. In listening to the conversations, one comes away with a better understanding that music and songwriting is more a process of discovery than of invention; that the songwriter bares his soul to the criticisms and subjective tastes of his listener with no guarantee that he will be accepted. What a gift, indeed!

I love music and the people that make it!

I’ve known Bee a long time and he’s a great interviewer! I was rather impressed with episode 1 and can not wait to take a bite out of 2 & 3! He brings to light what drives the musician to be a musician and what inspires them. JOURNEY TO THE STAGE is a great journey indeed! Enjoy. I did. Keep them coming Bee!
