Had an absolutely amazing interview with David and Johnny of Van Winkle & the Spirits! We talked about their musical journey and the way they seamlessly blend genres from funk and blues to Americana, bluegrass, and gospel, all woven together beautifully on their latest EP, Southern Song.

They treated us to a live performance of “Still Out West” from the EP, followed by an unreleased track, “Blink of an Eye,” a reflective piece about how quickly life moves and how we often don’t recognize it until we’re looking back. One lyric, “answer the whys,” led me to ask David and Johnny about their own “whys.” Their answer? To be kind to everyone, and they truly live that out.

In their time away from being musicians, David is a Civil Engineer and loves the outdoors! Johnny, a special needs teacher, is an avid hog hunter and reader.

Listen to the encore of this interview, Saturday, December 13 at 3PM EST or online at somerset106.com.

Find Van Winkle and the Spirits every music is streamed and on social media platforms.

Thank you both so much for coming! Was so much fun to have you on!
