We are so excited to have Ari Joshua as our guest on No Simple Road This week! For years, shamanistic guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has been one of those \u201cmusician\u2019s musicians\u201d who those \u201cin the know\u201d rave about but remains under the radar to the public. Struggles with substance abuse; a severe car accident; Ari\u2019s commitment to music education with the successful school he founded, The Music Factory; and the daunting task of mixing\xa0have kept him in something of a creative holding pattern.\nAri is finally opening his vault and sharing a catalog of recordings that feature his masterful musicianship alongside such revered instrumentalists as four-time Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, and members of the Trey Anastasio Band.\xa0\xa0These tracks will be issued in various configurations, and they document a spiritual journey of a prodigious talent all-consumed by his passion for music.\xa0\xa0\nWe talk with Ari about:\n\nGrowing up on the east coast and receiving a scholarship to music school.\n\nHis struggles and triumphs in running his own music school, The Music Factory.\n\nHaving Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam as a mentor.\n\nBuying the building for The Music Factory with the help of local investors.\n\nHis early connection to frequency and sound.\n\nOvercoming his fear of sharing his art.\n\nWhat it means to find our own personal 'Black Hole' and what we do with it when we find it.\n\nHaving the guts to just 'go for it' when you feel something move you.\n\nHow the Grunge Era and the Seattle music scene shaped his life and sound.\n\nFinding focus when you have a ton of things on your plate.\n\nWays to serve your own creative abilities.\n\n... and so much more!\nSONG AT THE START FO THE INTERVIEW: 'Lest's Do It Right Now' (feat.
