"Art is meant to make you think " -Nate Davidovich |

Welcome to Episode 21 of The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back! On this podcast we explore the lives of those in pursuit of their passions, dreams, and living unconventional lifestyles!

This episode has been a LONG time in the works, even prior to this podcast coming to life, Nate and I have been chatting about recording a podcast and I'm so glad we were able to make it happen. Nate has been one of the original fans of the podcast and it was great to have him on! From the casual two hour minimum phone calls, to feeding him waffles on stage, our love for Hennessey Sound, and countless interactions in and out of shows, Nate has become such a close friend and is someone who has always given me constructive criticism in my various pursuits, and has helped not only mine but the growth of others. It was an honor getting to record this episode and to make it a long one, we'll have to shoot for 7 hours for round two.

We dive into numerous topics such as his music projects Archetype, blue gum, his solo project, the origins of his label Phuqhaus and its vision, his early life and growing up around music, his Icon Collective experience, some wild stories, and so much more in this action packed episode.
