Confessions of a Wedding Band

14. The Legend of Max Bones

In this episode, the guys welcome their first-ever guest, Rob Hall, also known as “Max Bones,” his James Bond-style alter ego. The conversation leans into the character as they have some fun with the Bond-inspired vibe. They wrap the episode by talking about their original song “Why Me” from their 2002 self-titled EP.

13. From Voice Memo to Full Song

In this episode, the guys pull back the curtain on how their original songs come to life. What starts as a simple idea, a riff, or even a quick voice memo can grow into a full song through a collaborative process involving the entire band. They share stories from writing sessions in a cabin in Westcliffe, late nights of playing until sunrise, and the moments that shaped some of their songs. Along the way, they talk about having six sets of ears in the room, producing everything themselves, and why that DIY approach has always been part of who they are.

12. The Night We Played Red Rocks

In this episode, the guys drift a bit from their usual format to share the story of what it was like performing at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. From the nerves and excitement leading up to the show to the surreal moment of stepping onto that iconic stage, they talk through the experience and what it meant to them as a band. They also reminisce about some of their favorite concerts they have seen there over the years and what makes Red Rocks such a special place for both musicians and fans.

11. So…We Met Julia Roberts

In this episode, the guys tell the story of meeting Julia Roberts and her husband and immediately spiraling into a full internal debate about how to get a photo without becoming the people celebrities warn their friends about. They wrap the episode by talking about their original song “Brountry (When I’m Drinkin’)” from their 2016 album release Last Call.

10. The Early Years

In this episode, the guys look back on the band’s early heyday - from auditioning at The Ritz during a blizzard, to discovering Gavin DeGraw had slipped in to see their set, to Greg’s first packed gig at Southside Johnny’s. It’s a snapshot of the years when momentum, late nights, and nonstop shows defined The Martini Shot.
