Episode 291: Kyle Hollingsworth

Renowned keyboard player and all-around great human Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident is here!!  Kyle has been behind the keys and on the road with Cheese for almost three decades, and has been at it as a solo artist for two decades. His latest album, All We Are, is a timely and lively collection of wonderful songs and great jams, all the while celebrating life and reflecting on the challenges many of us face.   Kyle has a fun-loving charm; he’s quirky and kind, and he talks to me about his life with String Cheese, the impact on his family life, and we compare and contrast our similar musical influences. Kyle brings his easy-going energy and warm enthusiasm to Roadcase for this episode, and I’m super psyched to share this one with you!!     ================================ Chapters 00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg; Introducing Kyle Hollingsworth 04:25 Introduction and First Impressions   07:17 The Evolution of Kyle"s Music Career   10:14 The Origins of String Cheese Incident   13:22 The Band"s DIY Ethos and Early Days   16:16 Creative Processes and Outdoor Inspirations   19:11 Communication and Growth in the Band   22:12 Reflections on the Grateful Dead and Musical Influences   26:13 The Tubes and Their Influence   27:50 Electric Forest: A Festival"s Heartbeat   29:08 Tragedy and Resilience: The Texas Floods   30:44 Boldness in Music: A New Album"s Journey   33:23 Creativity Through Technology: Evolving Soundscapes   40:09 The Analog vs. Digital Debate   45:01 Family Life and Music: Balancing Act   48:32 Balancing Family and Music Career   51:19 The Emotional Journey of Fatherhood   52:10 Musical Influences and Inspirations   55:15 Collaborations and Live Performances   58:09 Navigating the Challenges of Touring   01:01:06 The Evolution of Musical Style   01:04:09 The Beauty of Genre Diversity   01:07:12 Reflections on Musical Legacy  01:10:55 Episode Wrap Up and Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg =================================== For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.com Or contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.com Roadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer
