We're trying to keep his name out there and keep his music alive, that's what he would want. He was a very caring and loving guy, and he loved music, so that's what we do.
Ever wondered what it was like to grow up in the Nowell household? In this episode of The Z-Man podcast, Todd Zalkins sits down with Jim 'Papa' Nowell, the father of the late Sublime frontman, Brad Nowell. Papa Nowell opens up about his early life and the joys and challenges of raising Brad and Kelly in Long Beach. Music was always a family affair, and Brad's love for it started young.
They dive into the early days of Sublime, the band's meteoric rise, and the heartbreaking loss of Brad. But it's not all about the past. Papa Nowell also talks about his grandson Jakob and the newly formed Nowell Family Foundation, dedicated to supporting musicians in recovery. With stories that range from sailing adventures to heartfelt memories, this episode is a touching tribute to Brad's legacy and a testament to the power of family and music.
