This week, Shinedown’s Barry Kerch joins me to talk about songs from all across the band’s discography, along with their two newest singles “Dance, Kid, Dance” & “Three Six Five.”

We also discuss: the band’s upcoming show at Madison Square Garden, the first time Shinedown has *ever* played the historic venue; the evolution of the band’s sound over the last 24 years & counting; how they strive to be better musicians & songwriters with each new release; how the band designs their live setlists; the impact of “A Symptom of Being Human,” from both a lyrical & musical perspective; the role that philanthropy in the band, and how they’ve given back over the years to both charities as well as other bands; releasing two different songs (“Dance, Kid, Dance” & “Three Six Five”) simultaneously to both rock & pop radio respectively; the direction of the new songs they’re working on for Shinedown 8, and so much more!   

Also, be sure to check out our OTHER Shinedown related episode this week, as Eric Bass, the band’s bassist & producer, joined me to talk about his new solo album “I Had A Name.” You can find that episode HERE.
