In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with my long-time friend and collaborator, Shannon Wickline. We take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our enduring friendship and all the musical projects we've worked on together. Shannon shares his journey as a music producer, explaining how he can turn simple demos into polished, professional tracks. We also dive into his impressive multi-instrumental talents—whether it's keyboards, guitar, or steel guitar, Shannon plays them all with skill and authenticity.
Our conversation touches on the role of technology in music production, but we both agree there's nothing like the genuine feel of playing real instruments. We swap stories about our experiences in various music scenes, from Atlanta to Nashville, and reflect on the gigs we've played together. I get to hear Shannon talk about working with some amazing musicians, like John McKnight and James Otto, and he even shares what it was like playing with the legendary Charlie Daniels.
As we chat, it's clear that the connection between musicians runs deep, and there's a special joy in making music together. Shannon opens up about his transition into the Charlie Daniels Band and the incredible support he's received from fans. He also discusses the thrill of playing alongside legends like Chuck Leavell and Bruce Hornsby.
In the final part of our conversation, Shannon delves into his passion for music and his drive to be as versatile as possible. He shares his love for the B3 organ and how it's become a crucial part of his sound. We wrap things up by reflecting on the power of music to evoke emotions and the pure joy that comes from connecting with other musicians.
