E260 Gio and Jerrod of Giovannie and the Hired Guns on Blending Genres, Getting Responsible, and Being Texan

E260 Gio and Jerrod of Giovannie and the Hired Guns on Blending Genres, Getting Responsible, and Being Texan

This week, we're scratching The Itch to be quitters! Gio and Jerrod of Giovannie and the Hired Guns join us to talk about their new album Quitter. We discuss the making of the record, Gio getting responsible, how Jerrod became a Hired Gun, and what is easily the most entertaining dream tour we've heard so far.

Plus, Dan fears for his life, a venue still struggles to win us over, and The Itch sees a country show. Enjoy.

If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox!
