THE EPISODE: https://youtu.be/Ubo5-YVsP5E?si=29mPXBfpIcQsPObj

Join us on the main stage as we chat with Mr. Antonio Brazil aka Dorian Gray and an integral part of our musical inner circle. He had his first radio single at age 17 and has since enjoyed a prolific music career playing guitar for artists like the historic Joey C Jones and the mystical Marquis of Vaudeville. He also founded the East Texas band Brazil which included members Kirk Harper of Lynch Mob, Oil, and the Kirk Harper Band and Timo Elliston, keyboardist and now composer working with studios like Netflix, the History Channel, and several projects with Amy Schumer. Oh and he was also front man and singer for the great Foursidecircle. Like we said, Dorian Gray LOL.

We reminisce on our time playing together in the Dallas Rock Scene and the ridiculous amount of talent present there, the importance of working with producers, where creativity & inspiration come from, how his influences shaped the artist he became, how we all win when we lose the competitive nature, and the reward of playing with sweet people.

Additional Topics:

🔅 Producers like Rick Rubin & Ross Robinson

🔅 The magical power of words as presented by Alan Watts

🔅 Physical vs Digital media

🔅 The focus of rock music through the years

🔅 How band names affect public reaction
