Episode 7: Delayed Drops & Jam Sessions

⚠️ Audio Disclaimer: Our mixer glitched out right before recording, so this episode was captured through a laptop mic. The vibes are still strong, but the sound quality isn’t up to our usual standard—thanks for sticking with us! In this episode of Bar Chords, we dive into the delays behind Brant’s upcoming album and talk about the creative (and sometimes chaotic) role AI is starting to play in music. We swap stories about custom-built guitars, the bands that shaped our youth, and why jamming with friends is still the best part of being a musician. PLUS—we’re rolling out two brand-new segments: * 🍹 Drink of the Week – where we each share and rate a featured beverage. * 🎧 Bar Chords Mixtape – each of us adds a song to our growing Spotify playlist and breaks down the pick. Grab a drink, tune in, and jam out with us. 🎸 🎵 Listen to the Bar Chords Mixtape on Spotify:

Episode 6: F*** it, We'll do it live!

This week, the Bar Chords crew leans into the chaos with an off-the-cuff episode full of surprises. We talk favorite cocktails (both classy and questionable), test the waters with our first-ever TikTok Live, and trade war stories about the worst restaurant jokes we've heard (and maybe told). Plus, a heated debate breaks out over binge-watching versus weekly TV drops, and we fall down the rabbit hole of cringey old photos still haunting the internet. It’s a mix of nostalgia, nonsense, and just enough booze talk to keep it on brand.

Episode 5 : Pixels, Prompts & Pop Rocks

In this episode of Bar Chords, the trio dives headfirst into the digital domain. From their favorite video games to late-night editing grinds, they unpack the creative highs and chaotic lows of modern tech. The crew debates the pros and cons of AI—can it really help artists, or is it just a digital buzzkill? Plus, a spirited (and slightly sugar-rushed) conversation about how energy drinks and sweet mixers might be the real villains behind brutal hangovers. It's equal parts geek-out and gut-check—tune in for the laughs, the opinions, and maybe even a new gaming recommendation.

Episode 4: Industry Origins PART 2

In Part 2 of our service industry origin story, things get a little more chaotic—in the best way. We kick things off with the age-old question: Is it ever okay to eat off a guest’s plate? Then we swirl into a wine chat, dive back into the music world, and break down what it takes to write the “perfect” song (if that even exists). It’s a full-shift conversation—equal parts front-of-house, back-of-house, and green room. 🎙️ Hosts: Alex, Brant, and Joel 🍷 Topics: Plate-picking etiquette, wine thoughts, music talk, songwriting breakdowns Hit play, pour a glass, and hang with us.
