The Growl Podcast takes a different approach to sit-downs. I like to focus on the musician behind the music and the personality behind the musician. I want to take an hour or two and really dive into each individual, what they have been through, and what makes them who they are, all while having a good time and having a few laughs. There is so much more to the person than the instrument and bands they represent, and The Growl looks forward to every conversation to learn more about each of them.
