58. Ben Cato (dim/The Dangerous Summer)

Ben Cato of The Dangerous Summer drops in for an in-depth conversation that takes us all the way back to 2001.  I met Ben back in 2005 at small venue in Marietta, Georgia called Swayze’s and he was one of the first people I thought of when I first started developing the concept of this podcast.  Ben is unique in his passion for music.  In all my years of playing and recording music, I can’t say I’ve met many people that are as genuinely happy as Ben when he’s behind the kit.  While he’s best know for his role as the drummer for The Dangerous Summer, he has a long history of playing in bands in the Atlanta area.  We talk about his past and current projects, avoiding burn out, The Dangerous Summer, creativity, being prepared for recording sessions, and ultimately end up in our favorite place, the Tone Zone.
