Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

Question 56 // Am I Trying To Express Or Impress? - Part 1 (feat. Aaron & Christian Ankrum)

Aaron & Christian Ankrum are brothers best known for fronting the band Grayshot. How much would it benefit us if we could become comfortable with discomfort? As an artist, is it true that the higher your highs are, the lower your lows will be too? Why is it so important (and often hard) to focus on expressing instead of impressing? This week, the Ankrum brothers sit down with Rob over a french press to answer these questions and more.

Recording Location: Aaron & Christian’s Recording Studio, NE MPLS

+++ Daily Guinness - In Memory Of Tucker Jensen

I'll never understand how all this shit works. In THE SAME TEXT, I got word that my friend gave birth to their child and that my friend, Minneapolis musician, Tucker Jensen passed away after his fight with cancer. I realized I had recorded his set, the last time I saw him actually, a couple months ago. If you want to download his live song, you can get it for free here: https://www.thecuriouspod.com/tucker

Question 55 // Would You Take A Risk For A Lifetime Of Free Beer? (feat. Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub)

Jamie Robinson, Joel Scott, and Jason Foster are the masterminds behind one of my favorite brew-pubs in the twin cities, Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub. What’s the difference between a brewpub and a tap-room? Are there similarities between brewing beer and making music? How do you find the balance between what people want and what you feel people need? This week, the Northbound Guys sit down with Rob over a fresh beer to answer these questions and more.

Question 54 // Do You Want To Be Doing This Right Now? (feat. Chris Koza)

His song (with his band Rogue Valley) The Wolves and the Ravens was featured in Ben Stiller’s film The secret Life of Walter Mitty and has become the soundtrack to the majority of my road trips across Europe with Sarah ever since we heard it.

 

Be sure to check out his new album “Sleepwalkers part 1” and stick around to the end of the interview to listen to the debut of the title track in full here on the podcast.

+++ Daily Guinness - What's It Like To Have Perfect Pitch? (feat. Joe Beier)

Right before walking on stage, my friend Joe Beier and I got into a fascinating conversation about him having perfect pitch and what that looks like... literally. There was only one thing to do… put the convo on pause… go rock out… and then press record once we got back to the green room.

Question 53 // Should We Just Record This In The Hot Tub? (feat. Andrew McMahon)

Andrew McMahon is a singer-songwriter best known for his bands Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.

Earlier this month, it just so happened that Andrew and I were both performing on a floating music festival called “The Rock Boat”. Neither of us felt like we wanted to waste a perfectly good evening recording a podcast indoors, so we did the only thing that made sense… jumped in a hot tub and hit record.
Recording Location: Andrew’s hot tub on his cruise ship balcony in the port of Key West, Florida.
