E011 Devin Cooper / Cole Malone / Jesse Roads

This is the first ever Auto-Biography with three guests, and it’s a treat to bring a trio of Albertan musicians who’ve put on countless miles with touring from the West coast to the Best coast. Devin Cooper bought his first car roughly around the same age when most of us were getting their training wheels taken off, and he’s been smoking his tires ever since. Devin tells us stories about growing up building cars…and a chance encounter with Heisenberg. Cole Malone’s got a cautionary tale about road food for a rowdy rhythm section and shares some more tips for a smooth tour when you’re far from home. Jesse Roads had a road-to Damascus moment involving a ‘borrowed’ Mustang that kept him playing in bars, rather than living behind them, and he generously shares some tales of a misspent youth, and some adventures on the road. Recorded as always at Communal Creative Studios, and put together by my George Martin, Mister Ryan Kuly.
