My friend Eli Lev is a beautiful human. We covered his song one road, talked about his experience teaching in the Navaho Nation, his practice of meditation, awkward handshakes, the whole deal. It was fantastic. Hope you enjoy it! I definitely did.

My guest on this episode is Gurpreet Sarin. He was my brother’s roommate in college while I was still very much a committed evangelical. We played some music in those days, but lost touch for years and recently reconnected. You may know him from season 12 of American Idol.  Gurpreet is a practicing Sikh and grew up playing and singing Indian Classical music. He is an incredible singer and tabla player. During the preparation for this collaboration, he taught me about the way Sikhs meditate on their sacred texts by singing and improvising with them using various raag’s (similar to the western idea of a scale, but more complex). We decided to take two pieces of music that I’ve always loved and perform them in as close to a Classical Indian style as I could get. It was a very meaningful experience for me.

My guest on this episode is Luke James Shaffer. He’s a fantastic singer-songwriter from Ohio who’s just released his debut album, “Luke James Shaffer, Vol. 1”. He’s a beautiful soul and a has a killer voice. If you watched American Idol back in the day, you may remember him from the 2010 season. We did a cover of “Midnight Rider” by the Allman brothers. He absolutely killed it. Check it out. See more of Luke at lukejamesshaffer.com Click here

This episode, my guest is the fabulous Petite Celine from Brooklyn NY. We had a wide ranging discussion on everything from the characteristics of French singing to the role art and music plays in making sense out of our lives. I love how our collaboration turned out. She’s fantastic. You can see more of her at petiteceline.com.

Here it is! This is first podcast episode I've ever done. Welcome to "Unmake My Enemy". I hope it's meaningful to you. Aaron Curtis was my first guest and I couldn't be happier with our collaboration. You can find more of his work here: Instagram Facebook
