So I don’t think I’m breaking new ground by stating how we can all be biased when it comes to our friends right? Thankfully, I can say that’s not the case with today’s guest, my buddy Max Kerman, frontman of the Canadian rock band Arkells.

Across the pages, Max hits home the sentiment that the work that goes into crafting albums, arena tours, and football half-time shows….actually aren’t too far off from well, any creative endeavor, really.
