The big cheese at the New Mexico Brewer’s Guild, Ebbie Edmonston swings by and we dive deep on beer bacteria, burnout, and brews. We got to share some tasty Flock of Moons beers, sample some collectible fan favorite beers, and hear from Ebbie about all the local events she helps organize and execute around the state in her role as executive director for the guild.

Oh shit, this episode features Josh Lee, lead guitarist for killer local band Hooks and the Huckleberries. But wait there’s more! When he’s not strolling his way through that catchy riff or solo you know him for, he’s karate chopping you into submission with his martial arts expertise. And when he isn’t putting you into a choke hold, he’s helping local bands rise up beyond local with his substantial network and musical experience. Keep an eye out for his curated events at the New Mexico State Fair, with local artists doing original music at big and small stages alike, including the first ever Soundwave NM music festival with some of the most talented artists in New Mexico on September 7th including the one and only Hooks and the Huckleberries!

Neighborhood homies Paul and Travis join us from Albuquerque’s finest group of musical mayhem and madness, Dust City Opera (@dustcityopera). With multiple albums and awards to stand on, they sat down with a half cult to talk about Albuquerque music and arts, their local music venue La Sala (@lasalahouseconcerts), and cultivating engagement among their fans. Enjoy the haboob.

What’s in a name? Well when you’re THE Rusty Rutherford then it’s rust. Listen to local comedian, professional photographer, and wrestling enthusiast give the run down on his hustle through a world of performance and entertainment, and how roasting your friends doesn’t pay great.
