This week on No Simple Road, we welcome John Tyson and James McPhillips of Denver’s own — a group that’s carving out their own lane in the modern jam and indie landscape with what they call an “Adventure Band” spirit.

From the jump, this conversation dives into the origin story of Orca the Band — how the project came together, the chemistry that sparked between members, and the shared vision that continues to guide their sound. John and James take us inside their writing process, where spontaneity meets intention, and songs evolve through exploration rather than expectation.

We explore the wide range of musical influences that shape Orca’s sound — from jam and indie rock to experimental textures — and how those influences aren’t just referenced, but transformed into something uniquely their own. The band’s identity as an “Adventure Band” becomes a central thread, reflecting not just their music, but their approach to creativity, performance, and life on the road.

This week on No Simple Road, Aaron, Mel, and Apple welcome singer-songwriter for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about place, purpose, creativity, and the beautiful ways life and art intertwine.

Ric joins us from his home in rural New York — a space that has organically evolved into something far more than a residence. Part sanctuary, part community hub, part intimate music venue, it’s a gathering place where songs are shared, connections are forged, and strangers often leave as family. We talk about the magic of creating intentional spaces for people to come together, especially in quieter corners of the world where culture doesn’t always arrive on its own.

This week on No Simple Road, we saddle up for a deep, honest ride with — a songwriter cut from the cloth of hard roads, real stories, and the kind of truth you can’t fake. Andy joins Aaron, Mel, and Apple for a conversation that moves far beyond the surface, exploring the grit, grace, and lived experience behind the music.

We dig into Andy’s journey blue collar to the stage — where independence matters, authenticity is everything, and songs are born from life rather than industry expectations. He shares stories from the road, the inspiration behind his songwriting, and shares some of the magic that went into his upcoming album produced by himself!

This week on No Simple Road, we welcome the vibrant souls behind Mojo Fest 2026 — the members of .mojo — for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like sitting around a late-night campfire with family.

Aaron, Mel, and Apple dive deep with the band about how a dream, a community, and a whole lot of heart turned into one of the most exciting grassroots gatherings in Oregon

We explore the origin story of Mojo Fest, the intention behind creating a space where music, art, connection, and transformation can all coexist, and the realities of building an independent festival from the ground up. Bodhi Mojo shares what it takes to move from playing stages to building them — literally and figuratively — and how collaboration fuels both their music and their vision.

This week on No Simple Road, we sit down with and to talk about their stunning new collaborative album, Celestun. Known for their deeply expressive songwriting and textured guitar work, Tyler (formerly of ) and Carl (of ) join Aaron, Mel, and Apple for a conversation that drifts beautifully between craft, connection, and creative trust.

We dive into the making of the new album ‘Celestun’ — how the project came together, the spirit of collaboration that shaped the songs, and the quiet magic that happens when two seasoned musicians lean into space rather than noise. Tyler and Carl share stories about writing, recording, and finding inspiration in place, nature, and long-standing musical friendships.

The conversation explores the balance between solo artistry and partnership, the evolution of American indie folk and roots rock, and what it means to create from a place of patience in a fast-moving music world.
