How to Build Your Golf Swing with Chuck Evans

When I first started interviewing golf professionals, I had no idea how much fun it would be. Every time I sit down to research a pro, I learn something not only about them but about the game of golf. It’s both fun and educational for me to be researching all of these guys. The guy I am sitting with today has been around the golf industry for a long time. He is one of only 31 teachers in the world to have a Doctorate in Golf Stroke Engineering and finds himself [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Phoenix On The Fault Line

Until my friend Anton mentioned this band to me, I had never heard of them. I loved the name, and when he told me they won the 2011 Battle of Birdy’s, I knew they had to be good. Battle of Birdy’s is an event that happens every year that features some of the best talent in the Circle City. The Battle gets a lot of attention to, and tends to pack Birdy’s year after year. When these guys are on stage, the stage is packed too… there are nine of them. Needless to [...]

5 New Apps to Try

As most of you know, I don’t pay for apps. I have had an iPhone since the day it came out and an iPad for a couple of years now… and I refuse to pay for apps. It seems like everything I want my devices to do I can accomplish with free apps. I use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Netflix (I pay for the service, but the app is free), Shazam (I got a premium version of that when it was free during a promotion) and several other apps on a regular basis. Earlier today I was [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with BellJar

My good friend Mary Baker introduced me to this band. I hadn’t heard the name, and was confused with the name at first. Then I met the band, and it all made sense. I bet you would never guess where the name comes from. I was immediately impressed with their personalities, and how professional they handled themselves both on and off stage. The first time I saw them perform was at the Chatham Tap in Fishers, Indiana and even though the sound [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Tax Brandywine

The amount of talent in the city of Indianapolis amazes me. Every time I turn around I discover a new band that I never knew about… and that I can’t get enough of. This band lives right down the road from me in Noblesville, Indiana. Their lyrics are incredible, the vocals are amazing, and the sound is very “jam band” friendly. There is a difference from a jam band that just gets together to play for their friends… and a band that has potential to make it. These guys [...]

Earlier tonight I met some of the bands appearing featured on the next rickyleepotts.com presents six bands for six bucks. We talked about the show, signed contracts, and just chatted about music.

Jon is in Jeremy Johnson & the Bleeding Keys; they played on the last six4six. Anyway, he [...]
