Miles & Mountains

Our guest for this episode is none other than the remarkable Wayne Ballew, a gifted songwriter whose story begins with a regular radio listen and culminates in a fascinating concept album. Join us as Wayne peels back the curtain on his creative process, talks about his collaborations with musicians like Zach Aaron and reveals why he leans towards writing rather than performing.
The episode doesn't halt at music, though. We explore Wayne's love for nature, his thrilling adventures in the majestic trails of Oregon and Washington, and his aspiration to conquer Mount Hood. Learn about the surprising link between his passion for hiking and his music, and be sure to catch the story of his unique song that earned a spot in a Bigfoot documentary. It's a treat for everyone, from music enthusiasts and avid hikers to individuals captivated by the inexplicable and unknown.
As we draw our conversation to a close, Wayne uncovers his involvement in a captivating Bigfoot documentary and delves into his interest in the paranormal. Together, we uncover the mysteries of Oregon's wilderness, the legendary Crater Lake clusters, and native American folklores about shape-shifters. As a parting gift, Wayne invites you to accompany him on his songwriting journey by exploring his music on his online platforms. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone drawn to storytelling through music, the allure of the great outdoors, and the intrigue of paranormal mysteries.
