Ep.290 – Tuning In with Kevin Jarvis: Therapeutic Strings and Melodic Journeys

In this episode, James Cox’s discusses Kevin's musical background, exploring his influences and his journey in music creation, including his experiences with different bands. The focus shifts to Greyfeather, a band born from long-distance collaboration known for their instrumental tracks, cover songs, and a Christmas album from one of his other bands. The dialogue touches on holiday music preferences and the concept of hologram concerts, revealing a preference for live performances over the latter. Additionally, there is mention of other bands such as Foreigner and Yes, and insights into the optimal times for creativity and songwriting. Kevin then highlights “I Should Have Been Home Yesterday,” an album featuring renditions of 15 John Denver songs, expressing admiration for Denver and suggesting Greyfeather or Far-point for progressive rock interpretations of his work. Furthermore, the band Green Swamp Collective is acknowledged for its folk and bluegrass style. The interview concludes with appreciation for the opportunity to share these insights and an open invitation for future conversations, ending on a note about the transformative power of music.

Amanda and Blake shares a conversation about misheard lyrics and share some humorous examples. This topic is relatable to many listeners, as mishearing lyrics is a common occurrence that can lead to funny and sometimes embarrassing moments. They express their amusement and confusion at how people can mistake the actual lyrics for something completely different. They acknowledge that in the past, before easy access to the internet, it was more difficult to verify the correct lyrics, but they still find it hard to understand how so many people could mishear the name of a song.
