Today I was leaving the courthouse in Nashville, after receiving a complete bullshit parking ticket on a street i’ve parked on for a decade, on which there are no signs indicating you can’t park there. I’m going to fight it in court, because fuck them. While I was leaving the […]
This was recorded during my time in Ireland with the Mary Wallopers. I had the opportunity to record with a variety of artists while I was there, and one was Rita Perry. She was kind enough to invite me to her house in Cavan, Ireland. I’d describe the area as […]
A lot of you might know me as Anthony Simpkins, folk music lover and banjo picker. Did you know I also am a life long martial artist though? I was in elementary school when I started Taekwondo, my parents probably thinking it was a great place for cheap babysitting. I […]
UPDATE 11/19/25 in light of comments from people, I really recommend no one buy anything online from Casper if you aren’t OK with potentially not getting it. In person, go for it, but not online.

I got to spend some time in rural Oregon earlier this year, invited to the Jackalope Jamboree by the amazing group of people who put the festival on, Chad and Rian.

Generations of cross Atlantic family exchange culminating in one 90+ year old arriving by himself on the doorstep of his grandson after 40+ years away from Ireland. Arthur (named after his grandfather, from Dublin) was supposed to arrive with his wife, but she got sick, so he went ahead and […]
Some great questions today heavily themed around songwriting! Thank you all for watching this channel regularly, it means a lot to me. I’m hoping to try out some new formats on here to see what you might like, maybe some longform episodes that are more discussion based. Let me know […]
Joe Bonamassa made it into the headlines when he announced he was leaving social media after he had a spat with a fan over his “receding hairline”. This is the nature of social media, and despite being loved for his mastery of the guitar, his looks seem to be a […]
It’s time to make amends. In the past on this channel, when I have spoken about the Red Hot Chili Peppers I ruffled some feathers and received some backlash from the RHCP fans. Today, I’m going to try and say some nice things about a song that I think most […]
