In this episode I'm joined by Todd Pennington of The Cinder Highway to chat about the how the band got its start, their musical influences, their recently released album, Songs From the Fountain Gate and much more. Todd creates beautiful ethereal soundscapes that drift and float through soaring hard rocking anthems. The Cinder Highway released Songs From the Fountain Gate in July of 2024 and this is an album all fans of ambient Cali-Gaze must hear. Be sure to check them out on the streaming platform of your choice. Thanks for joining us!

In this “very special Blossom” episode, I welcome my good friends, Mark Feldbush and Jim Anderson to “turn the tables” and interview me about the stroke I suffered in June of this year. We had what I hope will be a vulnerable and encouraging discussion about my experience and process of recovery.

Thank you for joining us!
