He’s releasing new music, and I featured his latest track “Follow the Mother Home” which you can stream wherever you listen to music. In the episode, we talked about LJR creative (Luke’s video business), what it’s like being a frontman and solo musician, some local gossip about The Slang, Montana, and much more.

Episode 371 features Gardenwalk from Catonsville, Maryland. They are featured at this year’s 5th annual PTR Fest at Fish Head Cantina JULY 18 in Halethorpe, MD, just south of Baltimore. They will be hitting the stage at roughly 6pm so get there early! Gardenwalk channels melodic gaze-core, drawing from shoegaze, post-hardcore, and alternative. Their sound juxtaposes delicate vocals with atmospheric grit, balancing fragility with catharsis.

We talked about starting a new band after playing in many bands over the years, the Baltimore music scene, and much more.     Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you’d like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.
