    Americana Rock Band: American Mile
    Jun 23 2025
    Join us as we sit down with the incredible Americana rock band, American Mile! These Los Angeles-based road warriors are known for playing over 200 shows a year, and we dive deep into what the rock and roll tour lifestyle is like nowadays, with a special focus on staying healthy on the road. Ever wonder about an iconic riff like the one in "Waiting on a Sunday"? We ask the band: does a riff like that just come to you? Where does that inspiration truly come from? American Mile began with a strong rock foundation but found themselves drawn to the soul and storyteller songwriting of country music. We explore what it was about the narrative elements of country that made them fall in love with it. Their music often resonates with powerful themes of resilience and dedication, especially for those facing difficult times. We delve into their philosophy: where does this spirit of knowing life doesn't happen to you, it happens FOR you, truly come from? We also get to know Colton, the newer member of the band, and hear about his journey joining this dynamic group. From their explosive stage presence cultivated across countless venues like Summerfest and The Viper Room, to their new album "American Dream" following their acclaimed debut "The Longest Road," American Mile is a must-see act. Tune in for an engaging conversation with a band that truly lives and breathes their music! ____ Support the Show: DUNKIN': Try Jamie's favorite summer drink, the Dunkin’ Pink Spritz Refresher.
