One of our contributors, Ben Slowey, is more than on top of the local music scene. In addition to his work for Breaking And Entering, he also hosts the Mr. Nice Guy podcast, an interview-based show that reaches out to Milwaukeeans for conversations about what motivates them. Many of these shows fittingly involve the local music scene, and we’ll be sharing some of them here as well.

Today, Ben talks via Zoom with singer-songwriter and craftsman Joey Stone, who makes apparel and souvenirs in addition to music. They discussed what they wanted to be growing up, Joey’s origins playing music at a young age, his crafts and clothing, playing a gig at Summerfest on 36 hours of no sleep, and Joey’s goal to get an album out.
