In this episode, Bill chats with Kevin Palmer of the band Trust Company. Kevin shares his journey from picking up his first guitar to seeing Guns N' Roses and Skid Row at the Birmingham Speedway, which ignited his passion for music. He talks about balancing a day job with his musical aspirations, driving long distances from Montgomery for gigs, and collaborating with other bands to play shows.

Kevin also discusses the challenges of renting rooms for local shows, the relentless road hustle, and the excitement of getting noticed by Geffen Records. Discover why they had to change their name from 41 Down to Trust Company before their first major release.
