Ep 11 – Chuck Ragan, Neil Fallon, The New York Yankees

On todays episode we start in Maryland with Neil Fallon, frontman of the band Clutch. His voice is unmistakable — part sermon, part storm — and so is his beard. We’ll take a look at how his signature look has become part of his presence both on and off the stage

Then, to New York. After nearly half a century, the Yankees have lifted their facial hair ban. What does it mean when one of baseball’s most image-conscious franchises finally lets the beard back in? We’ll dig into that history — and what’s changed. 

And also in the show, we have an intimate and personal conversation with Chuck Ragan — the unmistakable voice behind Hot Water Music, and a man just as at home on a riverbank as he is on a stage. He joins us to talk about fishing, fatherhood, his life as a musician and solo artist, and his new record, Love and Lore.
