Episode #39 "Melatonin & Musical Banter" featuring Tanis Pellegrini

My guest this week is Tanis Pellegrini. Tanis is the frontman for the bad ass rock band LIVES LOST, and he also plays some solo gigs in the central PA area as well. Tanis and I talked about a ton of different things, including band projects, being true to yourself, knowing when you’re getting in your own way, the current state of the world, and why we all need a Harley (or at least someone to ground us).. Give it a listen, and give Tanis a follow on all the things. You can check out Lives Lost at https://www.LivesLostBand.com and Tanis’s solo whereabouts are on his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/tanispellegrinimusic
