Chet Denny and Michael Thomas of The PennSoulvanians join James for one of the most genuine conversations about music, identity, and staying true to yourself when everything around you says conform.
They were doing it different back when different wasn't cool — writing original, soulful hip hop in an era that wanted gangster rap, building a seven piece live band nobody asked for, and refusing to play covers when every venue told them they had to.
In this episode: how the band formed by accident, what grief taught Chet about music, why Pennsylvania is their whole identity, and the philosophy behind staying original for over two decades.
