EPISODE 05 | Justin Staffen | PART 2
HOMETOWN HUSTLE recorded at the legendary Better Than Fred's in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, this podcast/conversation series is the second-half of my marathon chat with my pal Justin Staffen.
EPISODE 05 Justin came up in the scene prior to me, played in key bands, and also had a hand in putting on shows that helped to bolster the music scene in the area. As my band, No Ones Alone, imploded in 2005, Justin joined us to go showcase in NYC and then rock the final iteration featuring Celeigh on vocals. We continued our collab briefly to begin the band that would become Calculating Collapse. Nowadays, Justin runs a successful business, is a family man and is actively getting back into the musical ends of things in the area.
How many bands cut their teeth at Howler's?
How did we take the next steps??
Many Thanks to John Kriska and Better Than Fred's!
Many thanks to Darren Bennett at Rare Island Media for help with the visual side of things ^_^
ALSO - I’m going to keep Theme Song V4 running for the conclusion to this one…
