Hosted by Kodi and Shay, two jamgrass junkies with a knack for storytelling, this show dives into the heart of the bluegrass and jam band scene—with a few nitrous-fueled detours along the way. 🤠🎻 From parking lot legends and VIP miracles to deeply personal redemption arcs, each episode brings you wild tales, offbeat interviews, and honest conversations that explore the why behind the chaos. It’s about the music, the misadventures, and the magic that ties it all together.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T10:17:17.081992+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-6976114"},"episode":{"title":"What's The Reason For This Podcast - High Horse Band","slug":"what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-high-horse-band","published_at":"2026-02-17T04:26:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-6976114/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-high-horse-band","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-6976114","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/whatsthereasonforthis/2554574","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/281717/2554574/whatsthereasonforthis/2026_02_18_03_01_35_aed8d53b-3f7f-4f8b-ae03-1f9d8a31319f.mp3","summary":"🎧 This week on What’s the Reason for This? , Kodi and Shay welcome the chaotic, brilliant, cello-slinging string sorcerers of High Horse into the dungeon and things go from bluegrass to banjo science to Narcan policy to glizzy marketing in about 12 minutes flat. 🪕🔥😂 Fresh off a high-energy Dungeon Session (yes, there was a cannon… no, they weren’t prepared), High Horse sits down to unpack how a band of Boston “massholes” with Colorado ties came together in grad school, built something wildly genre-bending, and decided to bet on themselves, no label safety net, no handbook, just vibes and unpaid labor. 📚➡️🚐➡️🎶 High Horse dives into: 🎻 Why adding a strap to a cello changes everything 🪕 The lineage from Rashad Eggleston to modern percussive string chaos 🎸 Growing up around the jam-band scene in Connecticut and old-school bluegrass traditions 🏆 Winning RockyGrass competitions (yes, multiple instruments… because of course) 🎨 Designing their own posters, merch, and album art in-house 📱 The brutal reality of being your own label, booking agent, content team, and social media department 💸 Paying to tour while building an audience in new markets like Colorado 🤝 Why the merch table conversations and community moments make the grind worth it The band also opens up about how technology has shifted the music industry giving artists more control while demanding more labor than ever before. Being in a band today means rehearsing, writing, touring, filming, editing, booking, marketing, and somehow still finding time to actually practice. 🎥📧📈 And through all of it? Personality. Chaos.
