#015 Scott Siskind and Jason Cohen

Today on the show I'm speaking with Scott Siskind and Jason Cohen of Vinny Vegas. Vinny Vegas is a 5 piece rock band from Baltimore, MD. The band has self-released three critically acclaimed E.P’s and self-booked and funded many tours. Scott and Jason have been writing music together for some 14 years now, and I’ve known these dudes for a long time and they are some of the hardest working people I know. 

We get into:

• How they’ve adjusted during the pandemic, working, teaching, composing
• Music as self-care
• Their origin story, how they met and started writing together
• How being in a band helps grow you as an individual
• Horror stories on tour
• The importance of community and mutual support
• The trap of chasing external validation
• Why they play music, what really sustains and drives them
• And much more!

Being in a band myself, I always looked up to these guys like older brothers. It was a lot of fun to sit down and talk with them.
