Life is a Piano focuses on conversations with keyboardists, with host and keyboardist Dutcher Snedeker sitting down with friends and industry professionals to discuss the craft, lifestyle, and opportunities that come with being a professional keys player.
It has been awhile since I've posted, as I'm sure you've noticed, so I detail the craziness that has been my life the last couple of months as I anticipate going into a busy next couple of months playing several festivals, traveling, camping, and somehow trying to get in shape/prepared for a fall trip/studio session with one of my bands. This will serve as an update for Mitten Backstage, but Life is a Piano listeners can glean info from this as well. I appreciate your patience and understand as things continue to be adjusted!

#20 - The Smoogies | Life is a Piano
I'm joined today by The Smoogies, a stellar band of musicians currently touring the country supporting their latest album release, People Music! I caught one of their sets at Cliff Bell's the night before this interview, and it was great to hear about how the band came together, their work with Nicholas Payton, advice for young artists, and experience their band dynamic filled with love and support! These guys radiated gratitude, because as successful as they all are and with a bunch of credentials to their careers, touring with The Smoogies feels like coming home!
Plus, for you keyboard fans out there, Vaughan "V. Keys" Henry is a member of the band, a talented artist who works with groups like Snarky Puppy and Ghost Note! There are a lot of great keyboard sounds and styles throughout People Music too, plenty of ear candy!
