Talkin‘ the Talk With Don
Since 2009, I have interviewed some of my favorite artists. I cover a lot of genres because, well, I love all kinds of music. From Classic Rock to Black Metal and all else in between, if I love an artist, I want to talk to them! I try to set a relaxed, ”living room” type of vibe and have a conversation and talk about anything.

Having been doing interviews now for nearly 10 years, it’s always awesome for me when a connection is made. Sometimes, and interview is just an interview. It’s a Q&A, it’s fun, but it’s very much a “thanks for talking, see ya later” kind of thing. I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty amazing moments […]
