Podcast 220: Guitarist Mike Squires

Guitarist Mike Squires went straight from the Marines to the
Seattle music scene, eventually becoming a guitarist in Harvey
Danger, the Long Winters and Alien Crime Syndicate. These days,
he's living on the East Coast and dividing his time between a day
job, playing guitar for Duff McKagan's Loaded and posting short
music clips on Instagram under the hashtag couchriffs. 


On this week's FJ Podcast, we have a fun chat with Squires about
his music journey, get his tips for how to land a gig as a
guitarist ("be nice," "learn ALL the songs..") and much
more.
