41 – Possessed By Paul James talks his early upbringing, teaching, and how music is just a hobby for him.

In 2011, I found myself touring with Drag The River and Austin Lucas. We worked our way across the midwest and down south to the almighty South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. I don’t recall much about our first night in Austin, as many adult beverages were consumed throughout the day, to cool off from the Texas heat. What I do remember is a one man machine taking the stage and closing out the night. That man was Konrad Wert, otherwise known as Possessed By Paul James. A few weeks later, I was fortunate enough to have booked Konrad […]

Top 10 of 2012 plus Mostly Harmless Podcast Mixtape!

Before I get started here, I’m not a music reviewer. There is a reason I stick mostly to interviews. I’m not really good at explaining the WHY of why I like something.

Hopefully I convey some idea of why these albums are great and perhaps you will check out the mixtape I’ve made! All songs count down to Number 10 to #1!
