Striking a Chord: The Musical Journey of Robbie’s Boys and the Indie Scene of Berkeley Springs

The Wilson King Podcast

I promise you, this episode will transport you straight to the vibrant music scene in Berkeley Springs, as we dig deep into the origins and creativity of Robbie’s Boys with band members - and my old friends - Sam and John Silver. We journey through the creation of their unique sound, their debut EP, and their album Sterling, offering a rare glimpse into their individual creative processes that harmonize to produce their remarkable music. A visit to our mutual past unveils the essence of finding common ground to craft something truly extraordinary.
With a spotlight on the blossoming indie music scene in our little town, we engage in an open dialogue on the importance of holding ownership of one's content and the power of constructive feedback. Brace yourselves as we dissect the art of encouraging greatness, and how focusing on albums can potentially affect future work. We also take a stroll through the local art scene, noting the diversity of music genres and the impact of local artists like Peyton Brown, whom we fondly remember from high school.
Not just a musical journey, we also delve into facets of religion and spirituality, contemplating how these beliefs can dramatically shape our lives. We discuss the effect of technology on our conversations and perceptions, particularly in the COVID era, and share a behind-the-scenes look at recording bands and live shows. From the nostalgia tied to vinyl records to the intricacies of songwriting, this episode is a treasure trove of compelling conversations and memories from our shared small-town upbringing. This is not just a podcast episode, it's a trip down memory lane with a soundtrack. Sit back, tune in, and prepare to be moved.
