    I bumped into Cory at MSP airport - believe it or not, while listening to Vulfpeck. As a hobbyist musician and a 'strat guy', I'm a big fan of his tone. He had the famous blue strat along with him and was headed out to LAX to do some recording work. He's such a down to earth nice person - super cool to say hello and chat for a quick minute.

    Cory's interactions with Joe on stage in the "Vulfpeck Live At Madison Square Garden" concert were priceless. During the song "Your Daddy's Got A Tesla" Joe is really tearin Cory up with some of his bass lines and driving him to play even harder. What a great Concert and Performance by all. Especially Jack's Mother!

    Great interview. Loved the question about the lead up to the Garden gig, and hearing about how much that meant to all the band members and their families. I could also relate to the task driven, as opposed to keeping a schedule mode of working. But most of all I love the passion Cory has for his endeavors... I think, from watching your content, this something you share in common..

    I'm late to this party, but when Cory was describing Vulfpeck as "cartoon characters" with their distinct personalities and personas (around 15:50) ... it struck me that as the Monkees were to the 1960s, so Vulfpeck is to the 2010s+. At least, there are _some_ parallels! IMO. YMMV.
