Today I sit down with a fantastic musician Jose Rios guitarist for Free Nationals.

If you haven’t hear the Free Nationals do yourself a favor and dig in.

Weather it be their record from 2019 or their work with the great Anderson .Paak

Its all incredible and a must listen.

Jose started playing guitar after hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan in his fathers car and that was it. He knew what he wanted to do with his life.

Jose and the band have been grinding it out in the bars and clubs for years and are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

Hear his amazing story on todays episode of Let There Be Talk.

In 1976 a song came on the radio called Break Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and that was it I was hooked.
