We are joined by legendary Blues guitarist, Kirk Fletcher, on this week's episode of Innersleeve! Kirk talks to us about his close ties to gospel music, how the Blues has influenced many different genres of music, why he made a full-time move to Switzerland, and so much more! Kirk's calming voice, impeccable tone and touch left us craving for more!
The gang also chats with SoundMojo artist, Derek Orsi. They first discuss David Lee Roth's new single and then get into Derek's new record, his dream festivals to perform at, and developing his own sound. We seriously think you'll love this episode! Enjoy :)
