In this episode, the hosts had the pleasure of welcoming the incredibly talented Jon Tyler Wiley from Jon Tyler Wiley and his Virginia Choir. The conversation kicked off with a light-hearted and humorous tone as they navigated through a minor mix-up about Wiley's participation in the Rock by the Sea event, which led to some playful banter about unexpected gig announcements.
Wiley shared insights into his busy schedule, hinting at exciting developments and reflecting on the bustling year he's had. The discussion took a deeper dive as they explored significant events coinciding with their meeting, such as surviving a tornado and experiencing an eclipse, which Wiley humorously noted he wasn’t too keen on.
A significant portion of the conversation centered around Wiley's new record, "Pictures in the Dark," released on March 28th. Wiley expressed his relief and excitement about the album's release, describing it as a snapshot of his life during the pandemic. He detailed the creative process behind the album, revealing that while some songs had been in the works for years, many were born out of the recent global upheaval, capturing the essence of his experiences and emotions during that time.
One of the most poignant moments of the episode was Wiley's discussion about the song "Flowers," which he described as the most personal song he has ever written. The song was inspired by his and his wife's painful journey through miscarriages, capturing the essence of grief and support they experienced. Wiley's candidness about such a personal and often taboo subject touched on the universal themes of loss and the healing power of community and shared experiences.
Listeners also got a glimpse into Wiley's life beyond music. He gave them a virtual tour of his studio, filled with memorabilia, instruments, and even a foosball table, painting a picture of a space that is both a creative haven and a personal retreat.
As the episode wrapped up, Wiley reflected on the impact of his music on listeners, particularly how songs like "Flowers" resonate with others who have faced similar hardships.

Summary
In full transparency, The BoatCast thought it would be great for fellow Philly natives, Floorbird, to jump in at the end of their Cincy-based brothers Green Light Morning's podcast, since the two Sixthman Soundcheck winning bands had podcasts scheduled back to back and had become fast friends aboard TRB XXIII. The result was something out of a music lover's dream - an extraordinary collaboration between the two beloved bands. The episode takes listeners on an engaging journey filled with lively discussions ranging from NCAA women's basketball, to curing pediatric cancer, to Euchre... Oh, and they discussed music a bit too.
The highlight of the episode is the upcoming Rock by the Sea event, a charity music festival dedicated to raising funds for pediatric cancer research, where both bands share their enthusiasm and preparations. Our hosts delve into the personal experiences of the band members, their practice routines, and some humorous anecdotes, all while emphasizing the importance of the charity aspect of the event.
Listeners are encouraged to support the noble cause by buying a ticket to the festival and participating in the festival's activities (, including a cornhole and Euchre tournament). This episode of The BoatCast is not only the longest episode ever, but offers the most off the cuff banter and heartfelt discussions - showcasing the camaraderie and passion of the everyone involved.
p.s. Be sure to listen until the end ;)

Rock Boat Lineup Reveal and Artist Insights
Let’s all get lost in the Jungle together…
Join us in this TRB XXIV preview, recorded in sea-cret from an undisclosed location on-board the Norwegian Pearl. This episode is a real treat as we sit down with Sixthman Jen, Trae Vedder, and Sister Hazel’s Ken Block to reveal the incredible lineup for the next Rock Boat and share some behind-the-scenes insights into the event's planning and artist dynamics.
Summary
We kick off the episode reminiscing highlights of TRB XXIII, where artists and fans alike built lasting memories over the span of a few magical days. An annual highlight for many is the Sixthman Sessions at Sea. Camaraderie and music created during these sessions have left an indelible mark on the artists and those privileged to witness the live performance.
Our conversation then shifts to the Positivity Jam, led by the incomparable Brian Fechino. Termed the hidden gem of the Rock Boat,we spotlight this incredible late-night jam session, which sees a majority of the artists on the boat come together in a unique display of collective energy and spirit.
We also touch on the Rock Boat Family - a community that is fostered between boats through the event's social platforms and the many “ripples” of TRB. The episode takes a moment to send love to Twigger from Gaelic Storm, emphasizing the support and unity within the TRB Family.
As we dive into the lineup reveal, we share our excitement for the return of familiar favorites and the introduction of fresh faces. We discuss the careful curation process, aiming to balance the lineup with a mix of genres and vibes to cater to all tastes.
We're thrilled to announce that Happy Landing, Hotel Fiction, and Nicotine Dolls are among the new additions, bringing their unique sounds to the boat. We also reveal the return of TRB vets like Red Wanting Blue, Welshly Arms, Tonic, and Will Hoge, who have become synonymous with the event's ethos.
The episode builds up to the grand reveal of headlining acts, including Walk the Moon and Echosmith, and American Authors who promise to bring their infectious energy and hit songs to the high seas. (Hint: If you are looking for AA’s Zac next Boat, there’s a good chance you will find him in the hot tub!)
We wrap up the episode with a heartfelt thank you to our listeners and the entire rock boat community for their passion and support. We tease the theme for the next rock boat, "Welcome to the Jungle," and encourage everyone to sign up for the pre-sale to secure their spot on this unforgettable musical voyage.

Ahoy, mates! It's your trusted BoatCast trio bringing you a highly anticipated episode with a very special guest who has ridden the waves of life, music, and personal transformation, Bo Rinehart.
We dive into the story of a man who captivated us as the energetic multi-instrumentalist of the multi-platinum and grammy nominated band, NEEDTOBREATHE. Bo is now set to enchant us with his newfound passion and creative endeavors as Coy Roy. Bo bravely opens up about the turbulent waters he's traveled since his last Rock Boat, including mental health and addiction -- and how he has emerged stronger, choosing to dedicate his time to his roles as a more present father to his two sons.
Bo is back, with a Ukulele in his hands and a new band, Coy Roy, whose name was inspired by the iconic Paul Simon lyric from the song '50 Ways to Leave Your Lover'. Bo and his Uke are serving up a fresh wave of music that is as tenacious, optimistic, and refined as Bo himself.

"Behind the Scenes with Michael Lombardo: Banking on an Incredible Rock Boat XXIII"
Welcome back, fellow music enthusiasts, to another episode of our podcast. Today, we're wrapping up season three with a bang, featuring our final rock boater interview before we sail into season four. Our guest, Michael Lombardo, joins us from Bellingham, Washington, to share his incredible journey through music, mentorship, and the magic of the rock boat community.
Michael's story begins in Los Angeles, where his passion for music led him to work at the iconic K-Rock radio station. Michael's love for music never waned, even as he transitioned into a banking career. He and his wife, Michelle, have been deeply involved in mentoring bands since 2005, offering advice on fiscal responsibility and survival tips for life on the road—like the indispensable value of Ziploc bags.
Michael was introduced to the Rock Boat five years ago and has been hooked ever since. He's attended several Sixthman cruises, but TRB holds a special place in his heart. Michael shares his experiences of the unique environment where artists and fans mingle as equals, breaking down the barriers that often exist at traditional concerts.
During our conversation, Michael recounts his first Rock Boat experience, which came at a time when he was rediscovering his personal joys post-divorce. He was invited by friends to set sail, despite his initial skepticism about cruises. The trip turned out to be a surreal experience that he wouldn't trade for anything.
Michael also highlights the importance of The Rock Boat Family's community and how it supports artists beyond the cruise itself. He shares a personal story of helping the band Fox Royale during their European tour with Young the Giant, showcasing the deep connections and support system within the Family.
We delve into the evolution of the rock boat experience, from the booking process to the customer service improvements made by Sixthman over the years. Michael praises the organization for its enhanced communication and the bold move of booking Young the Giant for the upcoming cruise, which he believes will bring a fresh dynamic to the event. As we discuss the anticipation for the next rock boat, Michael expresses his excitement about introducing a new boater to the community and the thrill of witnessing their first-time experience. He also shares his hopes for spontaneous collaborations between artists on the boat, which he feels are the essence of the rock boat's charm. Finally, Michael offers some insider tips for future rock boaters, including the best way to spend time before and after the cruise.
