Podcast: Interview with Andrew Stonestreet of Greylag

I had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Stonestreet, lead singer of Greylag, a few weeks ago on the street corner in front of the El Rey Theatre before their show.   From the first moment I met Andrew we just flowed.  Couldn’t ask for a better person to begin this interview series with.  It’s raw, uncut, very personal, and almost an hour long.  Touching on almost every aspect of the man behind the guitar and the life changing year so far.  There was even a moment when a homeless man interrupted!  Very guerrilla.
