JW and Skinny welcome back Giant Country Horns great Carl Gerhard! Carl catches us up about playing music, Phish's summer tour, and even a little about his golf league. The fellas get stubbed down on…
Carl GerhardGuestSkinnyHostThat sounds like our crew.
Well, they've been doing a lot of interesting things on this tour, Carl.
They're jamming out songs that you would never in a million years expect them to jam.
Now, I think you especially would know pretty much anything can become a jam vehicle for these guys.
And there are certainly some staples that they have you know them and love them, right? But now they're jamming out Horn or...
Contact.
Contact was one we got the other night.
They played a 30-minute wedge in Savannah.
Ass-handed.
Ass-handed
when 18 minutes the other night.
So they're doing these...
They just played the longest punch, I think, that was 17 or 18 minutes.
So they're doing...
Just crazy jams within these non-traditional jam vehicles.
And I mean, they sound phenomenal.
They are as locked in as I think I've seen them in the last few years.
And we got a couple of good ones at Merriweather just the other night, Saturday and Sunday, that were, I mean, fantastic, fantastic set lists.
The vibe, the scene, everything was as it should be.
Everything was in its right place for that.
And, you know, now it's like, what's next? What song are they going to give the jam treatment to? And so it'll be really interesting to see.
