I was thrilled to have Dan Kuckel and Tommy Lavalle, who formed their band No Easy Day, join me to talk about their band and how 'All Along the Watchtower' brought them together. Tommy recounts his teenage years playing the song with his high school friends. When Tommy heard his neighbor, Dan, sing the song, it sparked a fire to start up a band and play together. They are able to jam a little harder with a full band now. Dan shared how music got him through some tough days in the Navy. This song helped him to ease into the spotlight of live performances. They both shared their love for the lyrics and the story within 'All Along the Watchtower' and how their band has adapted it.
Whether you're a fan of the original Dylan version, Hendrix's electric twist, or the Dave Matthews rendition, this episode has something for everyone. The guys shared how a serendipitous night out with friends inspired the band's original song 'With My Friends'. Discover the stories behind the music and the passion that drives this band forward.
