We are so pumped about having Lou Shields as our guest on this episode. This is the first time we have interviewed him and it’s been two years in the making. In this interview we get to know a little more about Lou before we dig into his song Grateful, from his album American Relic which came out in December of 2014. Find out how he got into blues music, the life event that lead him to get serious about playing guitar, and his influences. Lou also talks about balancing his life that includes music, touring, skateboarding, teaching, and art. We also discuss his recent tour in Europe as well as his new vinyl release Deep River (which will only be available on vinyl). Finally we will talk about the song “Grateful”. We hope that you enjoy hearing about Lou as much as we enjoyed having him on.
