Jeremiah Ludemann is the guitarist for The Frickashinas, one of my favorite bands which is obvious since I’ve also interviewed their lead singer Justin Duran and featured them in the JOAT 50 Song Countdown. He’s also the mastermind behind 420 Punk Fest Denver, which is right around the corner. This dude and I hit it off right away – we’re both girl dads of daughters of similar ages, we’re both entrepreneurs who own our own companies, and we have what feels like the exact same music taste – so to say we had plenty to talk about would be an understatement.

We cover everything in this episode from our favorite Taylor Swift songs to how he navigates whatever scene drama exists in Denver punk to how the 420 Punk Fest came about to how irritated we are with past versions of ourselves. On an existential note, sometimes as a middle-aged man it can be hard to make new friends. I adore what Jeremiah and The Frickashinas create, but even more than that, I’m proud to call him my friend. And I’m thrilled that I get to promote his band, his festival, and just connect with a great dude who I could probably spend all day talking to about any number of topics. You get a good sense of that during this chat, I think.

Please check out The Frickashinas at their website.
