About this episode
Charleston, South Carolina's Daniel Patrick joins us this week for a lively talk about mandolins, being a gigging musician, and talking to your heroes. Daniel is the host of the popular Mandolins & Beer Podcast. He just released a great new album called 'Around the Clock' where he does covers with an all-star array of fellow mandolin players (Sam Bush, Joe K. Walsh, Tim O'Brien, Ronnie McCoury, and others). https://danielpatrickmusic.bandcamp.com/album/around-the-clock During our chat, we hear about the unique live music scene of Charleston; why Daniel launched the podcast, his new album and so much more.
