🎙️ New Episode: From Phish to Fish with Paul Schiavo

What do you do after 15 years working in studios and on the road with icons like Dave Matthews Band, Natalie Merchant, Phish, Rush, and even Aretha Franklin?

If you’re Paul Schiavo, you walk away, open a fly fishing shop in the Catskills, and make the river your office.

In this week’s Hudson Valley Unleashed, Paul takes us inside the chaos of the Bearsville years, why John Mayer nearly drove him insane (and could’ve made him $40 million richer), what it was like to smoke a joint with Neil Peart in a snowstorm, and how he finally found peace guiding people on the water.

This one’s s*x, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll… followed by salmon runs, trout streams, and conservation. 🎶🐟
