Episode 151: Robert Bearce
Robert Bearce is a son, a sibling, a husband, and a father. He's the brains behind The Free Rent Band, and he's my guest for Episode No. 151.
In addition to his numerous other talents, Robert is also an app developer, a music lover, and he's the founder of Briar Fest (briarfestkc.com). It was a pleasure to meet him, and chat with him about his journey so far. We touched on writing, recording, the longevity of the band, his seemingly fearless knack for birthing ideas and launching them into the world.
We, of course, also talked about a few of Robert's favorite albums, which were these:
Led Zeppelin IV (1971)
Eat a Peach (1972), The Allman Brothers Band
Johnny Cash's American V: A Hundred Highways (2006)
In Time (2013), The Mavericks
Please check out Robert's Free Rent Band & Publishing page on Facebook, and find their content on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube.
Many thanks to Robert, and Happy 2025 to you all.
Note: In discussing the movie, Friday, I mistakenly called Chris Tucker's character Craig, instead of Smokey.
