In this episode, the hosts had the pleasure of welcoming the incredibly talented Jon Tyler Wiley from Jon Tyler Wiley and his Virginia Choir. The conversation kicked off with a light-hearted and humorous tone as they navigated through a minor mix-up about Wiley's participation in the Rock by the Sea event, which led to some playful banter about unexpected gig announcements.

Wiley shared insights into his busy schedule, hinting at exciting developments and reflecting on the bustling year he's had. The discussion took a deeper dive as they explored significant events coinciding with their meeting, such as surviving a tornado and experiencing an eclipse, which Wiley humorously noted he wasn’t too keen on.

A significant portion of the conversation centered around Wiley's new record, "Pictures in the Dark," released on March 28th. Wiley expressed his relief and excitement about the album's release, describing it as a snapshot of his life during the pandemic. He detailed the creative process behind the album, revealing that while some songs had been in the works for years, many were born out of the recent global upheaval, capturing the essence of his experiences and emotions during that time.

One of the most poignant moments of the episode was Wiley's discussion about the song "Flowers," which he described as the most personal song he has ever written. The song was inspired by his and his wife's painful journey through miscarriages, capturing the essence of grief and support they experienced. Wiley's candidness about such a personal and often taboo subject touched on the universal themes of loss and the healing power of community and shared experiences.

Listeners also got a glimpse into Wiley's life beyond music. He gave them a virtual tour of his studio, filled with memorabilia, instruments, and even a foosball table, painting a picture of a space that is both a creative haven and a personal retreat.

As the episode wrapped up, Wiley reflected on the impact of his music on listeners, particularly how songs like "Flowers" resonate with others who have faced similar hardships. He shared his appreciation for the music community, especially the unique connections formed through events like the Rock Boat music festival.

Overall, the episode was not only an exploration of Jon Tyler Wiley's latest musical achievements but also a deep and meaningful conversation about life, creativity, and coping with the challenges that life throws our way. It was an enlightening and heartfelt addition to the podcast series, offering listeners both entertainment and profound insights.
