I converse with rock stars, on the real side of life. My name is Frank Jenks, and I am searching & hoping & rocking & digging through life. Just like them. Just like all of us. Thanks for listening [in].
I always like to guys who like to hoop it up...not that I have any sort of vertical. I present to you a guy who can make it rain...G. Love. I’ve been really moved by whatever kind of mumbo-jumbo he p…
Sometimes you bump into music. I bumped into Brendan James. Honest. He’s a music man. A searching for purpose man. ...wondering and wandering around this earth, and trying to make sense. What a great…
This was my third interview, with the genuinely nice guy Chris Daughtry...he’s a guy who knows how to put it in the grooves, and write about how us guys feel and deal. Life never handed him anything …
I so didn’t mean to put Jon Foreman on the spot...based on his whirlwind world of touring and creating on-the-go it seems...I guess the great thing is, for this lead singer of SWITCHFOOT, he’s pretty…
You know how when a conversation is more than what you’d expected? Time becomes irrelevant, and part of life seems significant. When we share thoughts and experiences, and they connect in some micro-…
Every time I meet another person who likes to golf, it seems like we connect faster. I hope Drew Holcomb and I hit the links someday. We definitely drove it down the center on a bunch of his songs an…
I could have talked to Sammy all night...it’s too bad concerts get in my way! :) I’d tried many times to get my traveling microphone in front of Sammy Hagar, and when I did, it was totally worth i…
As you will hear starting off, I was sucked in by the band name. I was completely upfront, and so were they. And I still love these guys. So I'm on this mission to find anything and everything that c…
Not sometimes. Every time. Each and every time I look forward to talking with one of the kindest guys I’ve met in the rock-n-roll world. Mark Tremonti. I’ve met him on Creed tours. On Alter Bridge to…
So I'm cruising around backstage, as I'm one to do (I must seem very innocuous)...and I slyly step into Relient K's dressing room to see Matt Hoopes completely immersed. Like, he doesn't even notice …
Maybe one of favorite interviews happened AFTER this one with me. Jim Adkins had to go do a radio thing...where I heard the most inane questions, and he just gave him the perfunctory one word answers…
So many friends and other music people told me Brandi Carlile was one artist in which I NEEDED to connect. I was fortunate to get to sit down with my traveling microphones in Grand Rapids, MI at the …
Talking with Peter Himmelman is easy for me...adding David Hollander to the mix made it fantastic! The put together a band(?) or a the very least, a stellar set of recordings under the name MINNESOTA…
Always thought I would bump into John Elefante in my music business travels...but it was not to be. So when he planned to release his solo project ON MY WAY TO THE SUN, I reached out. He was more tha…
I had met Alice Cooper a few times prior...even golfed a few holes with him (he's good, I'm trying). If you really dive into his lyrics, and his performances (actions!) you'll notice he's been trying…
It was great to walk on the Slightly Stoopid tour bus and meet Miles Doughty straightaway. C-Money was there too...and joins in a few different times. You know how when you meet people and everything…
This was my fault. I thought Stryper was too Jesus-y...so why? And so time passes and so does Stryper, and Michael Sweet’s solo career. Then he tours with Boston. Oh! I am now paying attention again.…
If you’ve followed my interview path, you know TobyMac and I have sat down several times with open microphones. Here, we had to get real, and get real fast to do our dealio during halftime of some Ma…
Every time I get a new record, I still hope I’m opening the next Nirvana. So I hit play on the debut release from TOT, and it grabbed me. Then, of course, I start paying attention to the lyrics...as …
It was a cold, cold day. Head was wrapped in a blanket. We are mostly in L&D mode here, though we do talk Korn. Head's so honest about his struggles...from rock star to dad to a guy who lost it all. …
