"There's moments where I feel like all the good songs are written...I'm able to look at my friends who are writing amazing songs & are filled with love & gratitude & I feel, well maybe there's some hope left in this old guitar for me too & I'll get back in there & give it a try."


Derek Zanetti a.k.a. Homeless Gospel Choir has an inspiring conversation with Folkpunk Dad. Derek has a lot to share & he does it with an upbeat honesty that is refreshing to hear amongst all the chatter of the modern world today. They dive into what Derek is up to musically, writing good and bad songs, discovering punk rock before the internet made it easy, crab rangoon, addiction/sobriety, choosing to resist, upcoming tour & much more. Enjoy the show!
