Ep. 99 - Henry Betz Brown

If you don’t know him by name, you definitely know him by gear; this week your Buds are joined by Henry Brown, proprietor of The Bonfires Vintage (by far the coolest shop on Reverb) and Sleepers Mountain Studio in Portland. The Gentleman Junker, our buddy Hank is knowledgable, congenial, hilarious, and handsome to boot. In a wide-ranging and laugh-filled gearscussion we talk about Henry running the market on Olson fuzzes and Trident desks, being a gear optimist, carving in your name so that you’ll never sell it, drool-worthy guitars, and recognizing the opportunity in songwriting. There’s even an attempted gear intervention with Host Henry… why aren’t you listening yet? Also discussed: Fender Custom Shop Prestige Collection, the DODfather Collection, Kings of Leon making millions on NFTs, Reverb still being the best game in town, and AC/DC’s clean guitars. You need to have at least four or five carts before you even think about getting a horse.
