@OfficialJeffDaniels tells Little John the whole story of his musical life and lifelong connection to the guitar. Jeff describes how he became a prolific songwriter; sometimes he's hilarious, sometimes he makes you cry. Little John was fascinated by Jeff's perspectives on the story-arc of songs and the emotional contours of a set list. This conversation goes deep. Spoiler alert: Jeff is a serious musician whose day job is "Famous Hollywood Actor." Enjoy the long form interview!
