In this episode of the “Am I Crazy Or Am I Raving” Henry’s Child Podcast Tobby and Thom sit down to talk about everything music-related.

They start with the story of how Tobby joined Henry’s Child: A recommendation from a friend (Bishop Freeman of band “Toxic Zombie”) and the reputation of the band were two big factors that contributed to Tobby saying “Yes!”.

Tobby tells the story of how he moved from Myrtle Beach to Eugene, joining “Grynch” and eventually putting together “We Have Guns”. Tobby rekindles a story about how he created a website for the Eugene studio Central Node and got offered a job in Portland, where he eventually moved to a few years ago. We play the songs “Toy Soldier” from “Grynch” and “Dead Rising” from “We Have Guns”.

Tobby discussed the amount of instruments he plays, including a degree in Flamenco Guitar, and why he is passionate about drums.

We talk about the momentum that swung him into taking the gig with Henry’s Child. This includes what it took to honor the original recordings, when playing them for live shows, and ultimately how that affected his playing on the new album. Tobby talks about what it took to keep the sound as close to Henry’s Child as possible, while putting his own spin on it at the same time.  

We end this episode with Tobby mentioning an important upcoming gig on 3/23/18 in Lebanon. It’s a benefit for Jason Rowe (from “Strange Dichotomy” and “30 Pound Test”), who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The benefit is two nights, with 10 bands each night.
