0  comments

In this episode Bill talks with Matt Mingus of the band Dance Gavin Dance. We talk about getting into music in elementary school, the scene in Sacramento and his early inspirations, joining Farewell Unknown and forming his friendship with bandmate Will Swan, getting touring experience while in High School, the addition of Tillian Pearson to the bands contribution, and the evolution of Dance Gavin Dance over the years. We also talk about Matt hitting his bottom in addiction, almost losing himself and his passion in music, how Music Cares saved his life, what sobriety has given him today, the process of losing bass player Tim Feerick and other trials the band experienced this past year, and how they’ve all grown as a band throughout these experiences, their opportunity playing some Danny Wimmer Festivals, working the streets, plus so much more.
