Seventy-freaking-five episodes! Hank and Dave celebrate this milestone in style by welcoming the truly bad ass Megan Davies to be our newest buddy. Megan is an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, guitarist, and bonafide YouTube sensation, currently sitting at just under 1.5 MILLION subscribers.

We get into her background in music, the nuts and bolts of covering hit songs, how she made it to Nashville, YouTube tips, the joy of family bands, when being a musician is more than just playing music, following the path of what’s working, and doing as much as you can yourself until you can’t. Of course we also have to deep dive the tech toys, including how BAE is bae and giving love to Kemper, Martin, Neumann, Urei, and the venerable Chandler TG2.

Also discussed: the Waves Wetter Knob plugin, Bob Dylan docs, Hank’s “Most Important Band” Idles, Emily King, and sobbing through Hanson concerts.
