I watch the band and when I first came into the program, I was playing music and I used to tell everybody: I'm the guy who got kicked out of more bands than anybody I know. So I got kicked out, eventually every band, and then I got sober and I could actually do it with the tramps.
Ever wondered how a musician balances the wild world of rock 'n' roll with the quest for sobriety? Todd Zalkins, better known as Z-Man, sits down with Brian Coakley, a musician whose career spans bands like The Cadillac Tramps, Santos y Sinners, and Blind House. Brian's story isn't just about music; it's about overcoming addiction and finding a new rhythm in life.
Once kicked out of bands due to his substance abuse, Brian now thrives in his sobriety, making music that resonates with both heart and soul. In this episode, Todd and Brian dive into the ups and downs of Brian's journey, from the dark days of addiction to the brighter days of recovery. They also chat about Bradley's House cause and film, highlighting the importance of community support in the recovery process.
Whether you're a music lover, someone in recovery, or just curious about the intersection of creativity and sobriety, this episode offers a raw and real look into what it means to rock on while staying sober.
