What if a global pandemic sparked your most creative work? Adam Holland, lead guitarist and vocalist for the Steve Augeri Band, shares how the lockdowns turned his Instagram snippets into "Rapture," a solo instrumental album that showcases a diverse range of musical styles. Adam reveals the behind-the-scenes process, from the first note to the album's release, and how it aims to be a versatile listening experience.
Music lovers, prepare for a trip down memory lane. We talk about the moments that ignited our passion for music—waking up to Steve Miller and Led Zeppelin, the first time seeing Jackson Brown live, and the unforgettable guitar solos of the '70s. The episode also dives into the influence of ZO2's classic rock sound and how early concerts left an indelible mark on our musical journeys.
From the Long Island music scene of the late '80s to the evolution of the band Valentine into Open Skyz, we explore band dynamics, industry challenges, and the enduring friendships that have shaped our lives. We reflect on working with figures like Richie Zito and Rob Jacobs, the significance of early band experiences, and the transformative journey of creating timeless music. Don't miss our heartfelt conversation, rich with nostalgia and inspiration, as we celebrate decades of musical influence and the creative freedom of today.#tellyourstory #familymatters #thebenmaynardprogram #classicrock #valentinetheband #openskyz #rapture #steveaugeriband #sevenwaystilsunday
