Andrew Everding (Thursday): Life After Thursday
In this episode, Ben and Bryan explore the rarely told story of Andrew Everding, the keyboardist integral to Thursday’s rise during the post-hardcore boom. Andrew recounts a journey beginning with a house fire and serendipitous band invite, through Thursday’s ”War All the Time” breakthrough and major label whirlwind, and finally into his creative reinvention as a music-for-media entrepreneur with Tiny Lion. Along the way, he draws a vivid picture of the emotional peaks, career pivots, and lessons learned about saying yes at the right time. For anyone who’s ever wondered what becomes of musicians after the house lights turn off, Andrew’s story is real, honest, and unexpectedly inspiring.

James Menefee (River City High, Fun Size): Pouring Drinks for Your Former Tour Mates
James Menefee started his first punk band at twelve and spent three decades in Richmond, Virginia’s music scene with Fun Size and River City High. He toured with Blink-182, New Found Glory, and Jimmy Eat World, watched bands they opened for become famous, and got signed to a major label—only to have it go bankrupt at their breakthrough moment. Now tending bar in Richmond, he reflects on practicing in Gwar’s Slave Pit, hearing his songs on the radio, and serving drinks to former tour mates. A candid story about persistence, near-misses, and finding meaning in a dream that almost came true.
