On this episode of The Imperfect Dads Podcast, Devon is joined by Andy and Luke of the legendary band Piebald for a fun conversation about fatherhood, music, careers, and the challenge of balancing family life with being in a band.
Andy and Luke share what it's like raising an only child while continuing to create music and tour. Andy talks about teaching his son how to cook and how being a chef influences the way he parents, while Luke discusses his work with Noble & Cooley Drums, life with an ever-growing collection of animals, and the everyday adventures that come with family life—including why Andy has learned to watch out for sewing needles at Luke's house.
They also dive into the creative process behind Piebald's first new full-length album in years, Tales for Rages (released June 12), what it was like writing and recording new music, staying connected while touring, and finally sharing the album with longtime fans.
