Volume 35: THE Colin Waldschutz!
We would like to introduce you to someone who loves music like nobody we have ever met. Those that know Colin will say Hell Yeah, that’s 100% true; for those that don’t know him personally, tune in now, your mind will be blown, and you will learn so much.
Colin has provided performances, live streams, and recordings for over 20 + years. He has personally recorded over 800+ shows. He has seen Phish 88 times, and that’s just one of the bands he goes on tour with.
He has a Facebook group that started in 2012 Called Maritime Tapers. The group existed before that Facebook group but has been collecting great content archives since. His mission and goal were to keep a souvenir from shows. He states in the episode how intrigued he was seeing folks with all their gear and hearing different recordings of his favourite artists.
We dig into his collection, memories, ticket stub book and much more on this volume of strange grooves.
Cool Story, Cait met Colin at Harvest Jazz and Blues about 6 years ago, and he taped the Tedeschi Trucks Band and then gave her the mp3 the next day to listen to on the way home. In our previous episode, we spoke to Owen Green, who was actually roommates with Colin and references the custom music shelf in their apartment. Colin has always been known for sharing his love of music and going the distance to see it live. As we mentioned above, Colin has been to 88+ Phish shows alone.
Has been all over the world watching and recording bands. These are big bands and local bands. He is just such a big fan of music. Check out this video of Colin’s ticket stub book. Every single performance is in that book.
We honestly had such a great time talking with Colin and learning about all the shows he has been to, rare finds, experiences that will last a lifetime and much more. It was such an incredible honour. We are so excited to be working with him on our Strange Birthday, which we will announce soon!
