In this episode, Dan Campbell from The Wonder Years joins for a thoughtful, laid-back conversation about the band’s evolution over the years. He reflects on the idea of “passing the torch” — supporting younger artists and recognizing how the scene has shifted since TWY first got started. Dan also dives into the emotional weight of playing live shows and why those moments still matter so much to him and the band. A big part of the chat centers on moving past the early perception of The Wonder Years as a “joke band” and how they’ve worked hard to build something more meaningful and lasting. It’s a conversation about growth, community, and holding onto what makes music powerful, even as everything around it changes.
