Have you ever seen a disco ball dreidel the size of a small car? Come check it out this Chanuka at my annual Festival Of Light Shows on sale now. I’ll be playing two sets of music each night with my longtime friends featuring Aaron Dugan, Rob Marscher, Jason Fraticelli and Ben Atkind. In honor of the 20th anniversary we will play Live at Stubbs in Set 1. Set 2 will be material from the new record, Ancient Child (to be released Oct 3) and the hits you love. Looking forward to spinning and shining with you! by @benatkind

Ben Atkind is back on the Pod on this final installment of my series of interviews from @northlands.live, and I couldn’t be more psyched about this one!! I caught up with Ben on the last day at the amazing Northlands Music & Arts Festival, and it’s a fitting way to end what was a super fun weekend of insane jams, positive vibes and connecting with friends both new and old.Ben is a well-known and celebrated drummer and simply an awesome human whom I’m honored to call a friend. Ben attended Berklee College of Music and was the drummer in Goose, of which he is a founding member. He has since left that band and moved on to new ventures, namely his new home with the stellar Louisville-based band @houseplant_jams, along with his continued involvement in long-time project @elephantproof.Ben talks to me about the journey that has been his career to date, including his somewhat tumultuous departure from Goose, and how he has now found a place where he is truly happy, doing exactly what he wants to do, and most importantly, doing it with the people he loves.This is yet another epic interview from an equally epic festival weekend, and you’re not going to want to miss this one!! Check out that link in the bio to give it a listen!! by @benatkind
