Podcast 484: Jason Walsmith (Guitar Satchel / The Nadas)

Singer-songwriter/storyteller Jason Walsmith (The Nadas) joins us
this week to talk about the life of an enterprising troubadour.
In addition to performing in a variety of settings across the
country, Jason is the founder of Guitar Satchel, a gig bag
company inspired by heritage wax canvas clothing brands. We hear
all about it. 


 


We also talk about life on the road, van life for
singer-songwriters, house concerts, corporate gigs, Bedell
Guitars, the Fretboard Summit, and so much more. It's a great
chat with one of our community members.
