Andrew McMahon/Jack's Mannequin...with Frank Jenks
I’m not sure if a day goes by since this interview, that I haven’t thought of it fondly. Andrew McMahon was full of life and thoughts and energy and positiveness that our time with microphones filled…

Ben Burnley/Breaking Benjamin...with Frank Jenks
I was pretty excited to meet and talk with Ben Burnley. I, of course, had heard Breaking Benjamin all over the radio about then...but hadn’t heard anyone talk about his lyrics. The stuff he was movin…

Peter Furler...with Frank Jenks
This interview starts great and ends great...and the middle is pretty awesome too. Peter Furler, one time leader man of the Newsboys, could have taken "highway predictable," yet he chose an exit towa…

Burton C. Bell/Fear Factory...with Frank Jenks
Honesty is not super high on many people’s priority lists. But it is for Burton C. Bell and myself...when we open up microphones. He’s like, one of those guys, who seems to look forward to our chats.…

Dan Haseltine/Jars Of Clay...with Frank Jenks
Nice to set up an interview with Dan Haseltine from Jars Of Clay. He’s always been generous with his time…and forthright with his thoughts. No different here. We meander in and around and through the…

Brandon Saller/Hell Or Highwater...with Frank Jenks
When I received the Hell Or Highwater record, I was in a funk. I didn't want to listen to anything, didn't think anybody else got what I was doing. And I certainly didn't need to hear another side pr…

Dave Barnes...with Frank Jenks
I feel like saying, “you know, I loved my last conversation with Dave Barnes sooo much...I just had to reconnect.” So while that is true, I think I was more excited to dive into his record GOLDEN DAY…

Walter Trout...with Frank Jenks
Haven't met a man before or since who cares as deeply as Walter Trout. Something inside of him, that the road should have squashed, remains. He remains committed to his craft. He remains hopeful. He …

Bo Rinehart/Needtobreathe...with Frank Jenks
Bo and Bear Rinehart. Brothers in spirit. I tell you, there’s a Needtobreathe train that left Possom Kingdom in 2006 and they have been traveling down the tracks...whistle stopping around the world. …

Rick Allen/Def Leppard...with Frank Jenks
I can hardly remember when I first read about the drummer from Def Leppard being a spiritual kind of guy...but I know I never forgot it. So the day we met, and sat by the river, I could tell our coll…

Jackson Wise/The Vantage...with Frank Jenks
What kind of band name is The Vantage? Well, I broke from my credo right from the start to not ask that question. I apologize to you, the band, and to myself for that moment of weakness. But it does …

Buddy Nielsen/Senses Fail...with Frank Jenks
I can’t remember how I first discovered Senses Fail...I know that when I did I could feel the struggle. And struggle is a good thing. It is an interesting thing to meet someone every five years, and …

Dave King/Flogging Molly...with Frank Jenks
Yep. This is why I do this. Meeting people like Dave King of Flogging Molly. He didn’t just fall into the music business, he swam his way through the mud and trash and finally landed on his heart. An…

Mike Ness/Social Distortion...with Frank Jenks
Years. I waited years to sit down with Mike Ness and my traveling microphones. It was worth every second of every year. Turns out he is like me, a father and a man trying to figure things out. And th…

Adam Gontier/Three Days Grace...with Frank Jenks
If there is one guy I admire because of his struggles, and therefore his lyrics, it’s Adam Gontier. (He was lead singer of Three Days Grace at this point in time.) Adam never leans on his past addict…

Justin Pierre/Motion City Soundtrack...with Frank Jenks
I love how Justin Pierre’s brain works. It reminds me of me…jumping from here to there, thinking and wondering about things, trying new ways to eat or whatever. The lead singer, and main lyricist for…

Dan Haseltine/The Hawk In Paris...with Frank Jenks
Dan Haseltine never disappoints. Not with his music efforts. Nor his lyrics. Nor his frank speak about the world around us (and inside of us). I’ve appreciated so much of the career of Jars Of Clay…n…

Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree...with Frank Jenks
Each time I’ve sat down with my traveling microphone and Steven Wilson, I’ve come away a better human being. I think his rational mind helps me (and maybe you) clarify the mystical. I’m mostly intrig…

Jeff Jenkins/Green River Ordinance...with Frank Jenks
GRO had no clue, no clue! that they had an interview scheduled with me. Yet, even though they had to rearrange some things...they still did not treat me like a lowly media type. I love these guys. Jo…

Sean Danielsen/Smile Empty Soul...with Frank Jenks
I have listened [in] to millions of lyrics. And more often than not, Sean Danielsen from SES hits me in the chest with them. I’ve been following and lifting up this band since BOTTOM OF A BOTTLE...an…
