The Slice of Life Show

Art Alexakis | Everclear, Santa Monica, Father of Mine & Always Meet Your Heroes

Art Alexakis from Everclear joins me for one of the most honest and emotional conversations I’ve ever had on The Slice of Life Show.We drove through Santa Monica, ate at his favorite Mexican restaurant Gilbert’s, and talked about the real stories behind Everclear, including addiction, sobriety, rejection, fame, the Portland music scene, the breakup of the original band with Craig Montoya and Greg Eklund, and the songs that helped define the 1990s.Art opens up about “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “Wonderful,” “Learning How to Smile,” Mick Jagger, addiction, marriage, fame, mortality, surviving rock and roll, and finding success later in life after years of struggle and rejection.This episode is about much more than music. It’s about resilience, identity, memory, family, survival, and figuring out who you are after the chaos.Everclear’s music profoundly impacted my life, and getting to experience these stories and places with Art made this one incredibly special.#Everclear #ArtAlexakis #TheSliceOfLifeShow #90sMusic #AlternativeRock #90sRock #RockMusic #SantaMonica #FatherOfMine #LearningHowToSmile #Wonderful #MusicPodcast #MusicInterview #BehindTheMusic #Grunge #MickJagger #RollingStones #Podcast #Nostalgia #AnthonyBourdain
