E138 A Conversation with Giovannie Yanez of Giovannie and the Hired Guns

This week, we're scratching The Itch for a new
series: a Shiprocked Series! We've been talking about it for
ages, and it's finally here. As Dan prepares to dock, we're
unleashing the first of a trio of interviews with artists who
will be performing (and vacationing) on the boat. And we're
starting with a guy who made an immediate impression on us last
year: Giovannie Yanez of Giovannie and the Hired Guns. Their
album Tejano Punk Boyz made Dan's top 20 and featured a
fascinating fusion of 90s alt rock and country sounds, complete
with confessional lyrics and a Mexican influence. Giovannie
joined us to discuss his roots, his writing style, and his
eponymous Hired Guns. Enjoy!
