  • "Encores are cliche" they said. They were right -and this was better. Just a good ol' shed session with the boys. Shoutout to Thomas Griggs for hanging with the rest of them!
    From right to left (watching video, not stage right/left):
    Thomas Briggs (backup touring guitarist for Intervals)
    Nick Johnston
    Aaron Marshall (Intervals)
    Jason Richardson
    Jacob Umanski (Painted in Exile, touring bassist for Intervals)

      I think Jason was just trying to do something different from what the others were doing, his first turn wasn’t terrible, he just didn’t match what the others did.

    Kinda funny you can tell which guitarist is in the band with the drummer just based on the confidence and progression of the drums whenever he's on guitar.

    Nick Johnston has a little bit of another amazing Canadian guitarist in his playing. I definitely hear a little Ian Crichton from SAGA in his chops. Amazing touch!

    I know everyone is saying Jason's soloing was shit, but I didn't mind it, it changed the mood and allowed the rhythm section play out more because of it.
