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 S2E13 - Drunken Hearts","slug":"what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-s2e13-drunken-hearts","published_at":"2025-11-25T05:44:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-6976114/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-s2e13-drunken-hearts","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-reason-for-this-podcast-6976114","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/whatsthereasonforthis/2345940","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/281717/2345940/whatsthereasonforthis/2025_11_25_05_43_40_906ef24e-59ba-4c91-8042-1c3519a091fa.mp3","summary":"🎧 This week on What’s the Reason for This? , Kodi drops back into the dungeon with Colorado’s roots-rock homies Drunken Hearts — fresh off a live basement session and riding a big wave into their next chapter. 🎶🍻 From mountain-town beginnings in Vail 🏔️ to surviving lineup shifts, loss, and the post-COVID rebuild 💥, this convo gets real about how a band keeps becoming itself over and over again. There are laughs, some heavy heart, and a whole lot of love for the road and the songs that carry it. 🙌❤️ Drunken Hearts opens up about: 🎸 How the band started 15 years ago as a ski-town trio — and why the early days felt like a “powder keg” of southern rock energy 🕊️ Honoring founding drummer Ted Wells , whose passing in 2014 changed everything — and how his spirit still threads through the music 🎹 The wild, last-minute story of Tyler joining on keys in 2020 and instantly becoming essential to their sound 🎶 Writing songs in phone notes while driving, letting inspiration hit when it hits 🚗📱 🤝 Collaborating with Nashville hit-maker Dave Pahanish — including the surprise gift of a new unrecorded song, “Sacred Ground” 🔥 Their brand-new single “The Other Side” (feat.
