Episode Notes

In this week’s episode I speak with Clay Rose, singer, songwriter and frontman for the Colorado based Gasoline Lollipops.  We discuss Clay's hesitation of jumping into sold out post-COVID performances.  We delve into Clay’s tumultuous life and childhood; including his stay at a psychiatric facility as a teenager, his time on the road with his father, and his lifelong battle with drugs and alcohol.  We also discuss our sobriety, his friendship with Gregory Alan Isakov and the Gasoline Lollipops 5th studio record “All the Problems Money Can Buy.” Clay and I trade similar stories of our youth, navigating trauma and the punk rock pits of our hometowns. Clay’s story is both epic and tragic, but for now he has come out on the other side.  Please enjoy my honest and heartfelt conversation with Mr. Clay Rose.
