Sean Danielsen/Smile Empty Soul...with Frank Jenks
Probably my fave guy I've gotten to meet, and know, throughout my traveling microphone time. Each time we dive pretty deep into the ways and means of human existence. Sean reads some interesting arti…

Justin Furstenfeld/Blue October...with Frank Jenks
For years I wanted to interview Justin Furstenfeld. I think I was shot down because either they were too big, or Justin was fully in his addiction mode. I have to believe that we connected at the rig…

Brad Arnold/3 Doors Down...with Frank Jenks
My favorite part of meeting people is when they are nice. Grateful. Pleasant. And empathetic. And that is exactly how I describe the guys in 3 Doors Down. I’m sure that’s what sucked me in from the s…

Eddie Money...with Frank Jenks
What a great day. The day I get to put my traveling microphone in front of the Money Man. We did this during the day at his hotel, before his concert. Friendly, for sure. Timely, yep. Ready to go, yo…

Rhett Walker/Rhett Walker Band...with Frank Jenks
So I arrive at the venue to find this guy named Rhett Walker, and it took a minute because I had to wade through fans and maneuver backstage-ness. Immediately we were both grumbling ab the same thing…

Jonny Hetherington/Art Of Dying...with Frank Jenks
I love it when somebody actually takes time to know me, and even better, to remember me. I think that's pretty human. And I think Jonny Hetherington is a pretty special human. Since my first micropho…

Tyler Connolly/Theory Of A Deadman...with Frank Jenks
Tyler Connolly was like, “You really wanna talk to me about my lyrics? …ok.” I don’t know, maybe I was one of the few that took note of Theory Of A Deadman because of the words. I think they are grea…

Sonny Sandoval/POD...with Frank Jenks
I can’t say Sonny Sandoval and I became buds...but just listen [in] to this recorded conversation. It’s one of my faves. Sonny is the lead singer, main lyricist for POD, and he was laid back and thou…

Murray Attaway...with Frank Jenks
I hoped. I wondered. I thought we were too far away from Guadalcanal Diary...but then my iPhone shuffled up some solo stuff from Murray Attaway. I was reminded how much his music and lyrics meant to …

Kenny Wayne Shepherd...with Frank Jenks
I don’t think Kenny Wayne Shepherd gets kudos for his lyrics. Hey, I know his guitar work is primetime...completely top-shelf. Where I get sucked in is the transparency of his words. And even during …

Sean Danielsen...with Frank Jenks
There have been many people in the music business who've done right by me, from all angles...and Sean Danielsen definitely leads the pack. Not only does he respect my time and questions, his music an…

Billy Squier...with Frank Jenks
One of the first rock stars who embraced the idea that an in-depth interview was worth his time...if not my time. Billy Squier took the time to tell me that my approach was not only unique, but meani…

Jon-Paul Bakaric/Bakaric...with Frank Jenks
So weird to me, I received this ep download from Bakaric…and I dug it. Big time. And I’m just cocky enough to ask if Jon-Paul would like to discuss his concoction of words he plastered over some real…

David Draiman/Disturbed...with Frank Jenks
I think Disturbed have been labeled with a black crayon...but not because those who do such things paid any attention to David Draiman's lyrics. The words he writes/sings/screams cut deep into those …

Matt Thiessen/Relient K...with Frank Jenks
To think it's been ten years since "mmhmm" was released by Relient K...crazy! Yet, it's one of their most popular because of all the songs Matt Thiessen and I talked about here. Only one microphone i…

Dustin Kensrue/Thrice...with Frank Jenks
It’s nice when you get the point that people know you. Dustin Kensrue was thoughtful enough to know me. Maybe because I was early on the Thrice bus (albeit, a van). Maybe because I came prepared, and…

Charles Furney/Secret & Whisper...with Frank Jenks
We both leaned against a brick building, and talked. I asked. He answered. Honestly. I recorded. Charles Furney of (then) Secret & Whisper brought the goods on their record “Great White Tail” and I w…

Aaron Weiss/mewithoutYou...with Frank Jenks
I wasn’t the right person for this interview. Or maybe I was. I was on the cusp of thinking I understood Aaron Weiss’s ideas & thoughts throughout the lyrics of mewithoutYou. I was fooling myself. I …

Shaun Morgan/Seether...with Frank Jenks
I had no idea what I was getting into. Oh, for sure I’d played Seether’s songs at full volume, and I knew Shaun Morgan wrote some pretty intense lyrics. But still, I walk in to meet him after a show,…

Brook Thompson/The Mighty Fine...with Frank Jenks
I do love discovering...and in this case, it’s extra, MIGHTY, and extra FINE. I talked with THE MIGHTY FINE lead singer and main lyricist Brook Thompson. A splendid human being, growing up before our…
